I hope that you all had a wonderful week. Please remember that this weekend is a long weekend with no school on Monday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) or Tuesday (Staff Professional Development Day) for students. We look forward to seeing everyone bright and early on Wednesday, January 23rd.
The following students were recognized this week for making outstanding choices. We are so proud of each and every one. They are phenomenal role models and truly represent the Core Values of respect, responsibility, communication, collaboration, and continuous growth & learning. Well done!
Author, David Biedzrycki visited our Grade One students on Tuesday to share his stories and talk to the kids about how he writes and illustrates his books. Mr. Biedzrycki's visit was made possible due to a WEST grant. Thank you!
This morning Mrs. Nunes, Mrs. Carceo, Mr. Cederbaum, and Miss White presented an overview on the Reading Street reading program we use at our school. Thank you to our presenters. They were extremely prepared and did a great job! Thank you to all parents who attended this morning's Principals' Coffee. If you did not have the opportunity to attend today's Principals' Coffee, you can view the PowerPoint here. Our next Principals' Coffee will be on Friday, March 15, 2013. Our topic will be the placement process.
Students in Kindergarten, Grade One, and Grade Two will be participating in the DIBELS Next (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Learning Skills) assessment over the next couple of weeks. The DIBELS Next is used to identify students who may need additional literacy instruction. DIBELS are administered in the fall, winter, and spring. For general information regarding the DIBELS Next click here. For specific information on your child's results, please contact their classroom teacher.
Thank you to the Project Blossom families who were able to complete and return the NAEYC program survey. We are in the process of analyzing the results and will be using this data to develop program goals and areas of focus. Results will be available in the Delaney Office. We are always looking for ways in which to improve our programs. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me at petersm@wrentham.k12.ma.us.
Thank you in advance.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you, as always, for reading.
Sincerely,
Melissa D. Peterson
