Greetings SLE families!

Many thanks to those of you who came out to our Student Led Conference night! It was such a joy to see so many families on campus. We are so proud of our students' efforts and accomplishments and we grateful to have the opportunity for our students to share those with you. If you would like to further discuss your child's academic progress, please reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a conference. Quarter 3 interim reports will come home this week.

Thank you for your continued partnership,

Ms. Eliason

Each month at SLE we focus on one of the 7 Habits of being an effective leader. During the months of February we will focus on Habit 5: See First to Understand Then to Be Understood. Take a moment to talk with your child about this habit and where they can apply it in their everyday lives at home and school.

Spring Picture Day is Monday, February 26th. Students may dress up and be out of uniform for photos on this day. Order forms will be sent home in Thursday folders but are also attached here. You can also order photos online at THIS LINK.

Activity calendar for the month of February. It has short speech and language exercises to do with your child every day!

Also, please check out the attached handout titled "Why Won't My Child Talk About School - Even When I Ask Questions?" which provides helpful idea to increase communication about school with your child.

Once again, students had the opportunity to celebrate their outstanding behavior in our quarterly PBIS celebration! This fun, winter themed celebration allowed students to join together to play winter bingo, win prizes, and purchase extra treats with their “leader dollars” which are earned through excellent academics as well as behavior. Students had a blast and were able to reflect on all the positive consequences of their good choices as well. We’re so proud of the character of our student body!

Our partners in literacy, Pi Beta Phi, hosted a wonderful Just Book It! even for Shadowlawn students in January. Each student was able to select two brand new books to take home and keep as their very own. Students also received a Shadowlawn bag, Seahawk temporary tatoo, and snacks and lemonade!

Thank you Pi Beta Phi for not only bringing your support for literacy into our school, but also into our students' homes!

New Year, new things! Our classroom is transforming thanks to DonorsChoose. We have received new colorful tables, dollhouse furniture and dolls, and alphabet activities. The class is enjoying all of these new things!

FIrst graders use their letter tile boards to spell trick words and new words with blends!

Second grade had a fun time preparing for their unit test in math. Students worked together to play “Stinky Feet” and share their math reasoning.

On January 30th the Third Graders had their Cultures Concert. Students dressed up in clothing from their culture and sang songs from 7 different countries including the USA, Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. It was a spectacular show!

4th graders got to take their learning outside of the classroom and interact with a life sized number line! They had lots of fun finding where their assigned decimal was located on a number line and then were able to compare and order decimals.

5th graders getting ready for their student led conferences by practicing with their buddy classes! The second graders were such good listeners and were so happy to see what fifth graders had in their binders!

This past two weeks we have been practicing our hand eye coordination. We have hit the baseball with the bat, and we have worked on fielding with catching and throwing. Here we have some live game action with our 5th graders and Mr. Mills playing some serious baseball!
