Hello Everyone,
There was a glitch with the parent survey and it has been closed. You may have seen an email from Dr. Rhoads about this yesterday on the listserv. If you would like to provide feedback to me, please print the PDF that he sent or follow the link below. Then you can print it and mail it to me here at school or scan and email to me at bearle@rsu14.org.
Have a great summer!
Beth

PARENT SURVEY
Dear Families,
Below is information regarding a survey that all parents at WPS are being asked to participate in. Your feedback is appreciated. I have enjoyed working with your students this year. I hope you have a wonderful summer!
Beth Earle
At
Windham Primary School, our staff is dedicated to supporting the learning of
all students. We recognize that the school is most effective for a
child’s learning when there is a strong connection between school and
home. We are a learning organization that is always looking for ways to
improve. We are creating another opportunity to provide feedback. We
value parent input. This feedback serves the purposes of allowing
families to give feedback to their child’s teacher on things that went well and
things that could be improved upon from the parent perspective. It also
will hopefully strengthen the school to home connection for our future
students.
We are
asking parents to take a few minutes to complete this brief survey. The
information you provide will go directly to your child’s teacher. You
have the option of adding your name or not.
Your time
in completing the survey is greatly appreciated by July 1st.

Scarborough Marsh Trip UPDATE ON WEATHER
Hi Families,
We will plan to go the marsh tomorrow unless it is threatening thunder and lightning. Please be sure you send your child with appropriate clothes/footwear for muddy, wet conditions. We will be outdoors for a total of 3 hours.
You might also want to pack dry clothes and shoes for them if they will be spending the rest of the day at school. They can leave dry clothes here and change when we return to school.
I plan to purchase a box of trash bags to make homemade ponchos for kids who don't come prepared. The kids think that would be fun to wear, but please send them in raincoats if they own them. The bag ponchos won't cover their arms very well.
The marsh has also been very buggy this week. If you would like your child to wear bug spray, please apply at home. The marsh is strict about not spraying bug spray near the wildlife.
I will be making a call in the morning on whether to go or not. Kids know there is a possibility of us not going. I will be sure to refund all of your money if we do not go. We will be having a picnic lunch in our room if we have to stay at school.
Cross your fingers and do an anti-rain dance tonight! :)

Reminders and Info in Backpacks
Hello Families,
Just a reminder to get field trip money in by Thursday, June 5. The more chaperones, the merrier!
Coming tonight to folks who don't get electronic communication are fliers about the FREE Summer Lunch Program for Kids and Teens and a WPS school lunch menu for June.
Those who haven't sent school pictures or picture money back will also be getting a reminder to do so ASAP. Let's have 100% participation this year!
Next week will be a busy one for the last 26 Days Calendar. It might be a good idea to organize things this weekend. Towels for read outside day, pajamas for pajama day, and red clothes for red day. The kids are having fun with each day and are really excited for new name day on Monday. You might want to talk about what they think would be a good name for them to try out. Last year we had some very interesting and creative names!
Last, I'm attaching some information on summer math learning opportunities that your child can access online. See below if you're interested.

Here are 3 great online
summer math opportunities to help students maintain math skills through the
summer.
www.ixl.com This is a
program that students use at school but can continue to use through the summer
months. Please contact your child’s teacher to get usernames and
passwords if you do not already have them.
Fasttmath Stretch to GO
Fasttmath Stretch to Go https://samconnect.scholastic.com/auth/zip/STRCH.html
This is geared more toward students entering grades 3 and up. It
provides computational practice. Contact your child’s teacher for a
username and password if your child does not already know it.
TEN MARKS
Ten Marks is also an online math program that usually has a
fee associated with it but it is free for this summer. It allows parents
to choose personalized incentives that may motivate their child to
practice math during the summer. When signing your child up for the
program, you can choose incentives that are personal to your child. Your
child could earn an treat or special activity for work completed in the
program. https://www.tenmarks.com/

Upcoming Events
Hello Families,
I'm listing a few events happening next week.
Miss Skarbinski's last day with us is Thursday, April 17th. We will miss her after she is gone!
Monday, April 14 is Hat Day at WPS. We will be going to a performance from the Puppet Tree folks called Caps For Sale. This performance is brought to us by our Cultural Arts Committee.
I will not be having spelling words next week. With our change in schedule on Monday interfering with our literacy block and the short week, I thought I'd give the class a break. Please expect some math practice sheets and students should do their 20 min of reading, as usual.
Wednesday and Thursday, April 16-17 is Kindergarten Screening at WPS. Kindergarten students will not be in school. If you know of anyone needing to have their child screened, be sure they have contacted the school.
Notes from Administration:
Have a great weekend!

Student Arrival Procedures
Once all buses have arrived
at WPS in the AM and the outside doors have been locked, the second lane in
front of the school will be closed for traffic. If you are arriving after
approximately 8:20 and need to drop off a student, please park in the parent
parking spaces above C-House (the lot closest to Windham High School).
After parking, please walk the student into the main office to be checked
in. In the case of an emergency, this will allow rescue personnel
vehicles to park as close to the school as possible. Thanks for your help.
Have a great weekend!

Hi Families,
I'm pleased to announce the class has had a great week with Miss Skarbinski. Thank you for your help messaging with them about respect.
As a class they have been working hard to earn a reward by filling in boxes on a 100 grid. They call it 10 in a row, good to go. Today they finally got 10 in a row and voted to have Pajama Day and watch a movie. On Wednesday, April 2 they can wear their PJs, bring a favorite stuffed animal, bring a small blanket and enjoy the movie Frozen together on our Smartboard! If parents want to send popcorn as a special snack, that is great--just remember we can't share snacks. Congratulate your child on making good choices this week!

Miss Skarbinski finishes her first week!
Hello Families,
Miss Skarbinski has finished her first week lead teaching with success this week. It was a transitional week, for sure, as students got more comfortable with her style, but I think they enjoyed learning from her and I hope they have conveyed that to you.
We have had some behavior bumps in the road and could use your help. Please reinforce the importance of being even more respectful with her as they are with me. She is doing a wonderful job managing my class, but as with all new things, it is challenging. Some students have had some minor consequences this week. They all know that next week parents will be notified if choices don't improve. Most kids are doing very well and are really respectful. I hope all parents can have a conversation this weekend to reinforce good choices and respect toward adults.
Miss Skarbinski will lead teach for the next two weeks. I have been in several times a day to check in and both she and the class are having a great time learning about the solar system. They will be completing a research project about the planets before April vacation. Please ask them what they've learned so far!
From the Leadership team:

Conferences Update in Case of Snow Storm
Look in backpacks tonight for conference reminder slips. I have written in your conference time and date. If you are planning to conference Wednesday or Thursday, the bottom portion of the slip says the following:
Beth
If the
weather should be bad enough to cancel school, my conferences will also be
cancelled and postponed. If your conference is on Wednesday, I will hold your
conference at the same time next Wednesday, March 19th. If your conference is on Thursday, I will
hold your conference at the same time, but on Tuesday, March 18th. If the rescheduled time doesn’t work for you,
please contact me immediately, so we can reschedule. Thanks for your
flexibility. I will be glad to see this snow gone for another season.
Cross your fingers that the weather will cooperate, so that we can meet. If for any reason you cannot make it and they are not cancelled, please either email me or call the office and leave a message for me. Thanks for your help!Beth

Quick Updates
Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry for my absence in posting to the blog this winter. Things have been extremely hectic in my life, but they are settling down and I will be posting much more regularly for the rest of the year.
I have a few things pieces of info to get out to you before the weekend.
First, conferences are coming the week of March 10-14. The PTC fast site will be live as of 3pm on Friday. The blocks are 40 minutes from start to finish and you will be doing 2 rotations like last time. Students will start by sharing work in the hall for 20 minutes and you will conclude by talking with me. I plan to send a schedule for you to choose times if you do not plan to sign up online. Please DO NOT send back the printed schedule if you are booking your slot online.
Next, I want to clear up confusion I'm hearing from students regarding REACH testing. Mrs. McBride, the coordinator of our Gifted/Talented programming has sent a letter to all parents of third graders in the district. There are criteria listed in the letter for students to receive REACH instruction next year.
