Lower School Update - May 27, 2019

The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award today for demonstrating the Eagle Way. Congratulations to Ms. Wilker’s second grade class and Ms. Wilganowski’s fifth grade class!


June 7 Dismissal Time
Our last day of the school year is Friday, June 7. Dismissal will take place at 11:30 am. Buses will leave at 11:45 am.


Preparing for the Upcoming Grade Level Transition
The end of the school year means starting to prepare children for their upcoming transition to a new grade level (and in some cases also to a new division). Here is an article with links to resources that can assist you with conversations to have with your child about these changes.


News from the Library
The most effective ways for children to develop strong vocabularies and reading fluency is to read, read, and read some more! Vacation times provide for less structured reading and a wider range of choices, but reading is just as important! Consider making it part of your daily routine together, as the first thing in the morning or the last thing before bed.  The 2019 Reading World Cup vacation reading challenge provides extra motivation for students to practice (like their favorite Women’s World Cup players). You will find everything you need to get started here. Students will be receiving their booklets in their last library class.


Remember that our LS Library website is a place to access digital books and multiple online resources from anywhere you are. Bookmark it for easy access! One of the online resources, Tumblebooks, has thousands of books and at different reading levels, so it's a great option when traveling. If you are in S.P., we'll be open every Monday during break from 9-11 am and 1-3 pm.


Thanks for your help getting items back to the library! Do you know we’ve had 33,115 checkouts this school year?? WOW! This week, 1,369 books are checked out, and 277 are overdue. Returning families with everything checked in will be able to check out a total of 10 books for vacation.
