The Pawsome Print
November 10, 2023
Dear Pawsome Families,
November is off to a great start! We had our annual Fall Festival in kindergarten on November 1st. A huge thanks to all the parent volunteers to help make this such an amazing event! We also started our teacher conferences which will continue through this month. If you have not had the opportunity to sign up, please reach out to your child's teacher. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to meet with the teacher and learn about your child's progress so far this year.
We started this week with Daylight Savings and also had a Creative Enrichment program in kindergarten. The Discovery Museum was working with kindergarten students to teach them about Liquids & Solids (pictures below). I had the opportunity to join one class session and it was so fun to see the students engaged in this learning. Our kindergarten student truly showed our Core Values to our guest teacher.
We are out of school tomorrow as we observe Veterans Day. Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

Our Loring Garden
Our Second Grade has worked hard to prepare our garden for the winter. I can't wait to share pictures this spring when we start planting again!

English Learners at Loring
I wanted to share this bulletin board that was created by our ELD teacher, Ms. Hanson and the 22 English Learners we have at Loring School this year. Our English Learners speak 7 different languages (Spanish, French, Ukrainian, Tibetan, Mandarin, Russian, and Arabic). These students represent 7 different countries (Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, France, China, Ukraine, and Egypt).

Loring Core Values
At Loring School, we are PAWSOME because we show our Core Values! These values are part of everyday life at Loring and reinforced in the classroom, on the playground and all around school. Students are taught the meaning of each word and how they make us better students and community members. Please continue to have conversations about our core values at home.
Respect ~ Responsibility ~ Caring ~ Best Effort
The Loring Pledge
The Loring Pledge is said every morning during announcements. Loring students embody our pledge and we hope this stays with them not only when they are at school but home as well.
