Bogan Weekly News

Happy Friday!

We hope you had a restful President's Day weekend and enjoyed Thursday's snow day! We are continuing our implementation of our new Bookworms curriculum, which includes daily shared reading. During shared reading, students share a book and read the story together, which helps improve reading fluency. The more fluently a student reads, the more likely they will understand what they are reading. It is really enjoyable to watch our students partner read and I am impressed by how much progress they have already made this year.

When possible, we prefer to go outside for recess instead of staying inside. We have had an increase number of students coming to the office during recess asking for coats. If your child does not have a coat, please call the Bogan office at 513-273-3400 or email our Social Worker, Kelley Franks, at franksk@talawanda.org

Stay warm and have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Kirsten Cannon, Principal

We have moved to grade-level incentives in the cafeteria. Grade levels have the opportunity to earn a "star" when they follow the expectations. We have had several grade levels already earn their movie party and they are working towards their next reward.

We rolled out restroom expectations this week and there are posters in the restroom to remind students of the expectations.

Our PBIS team will work on creating expectations for the hallways and buses in February.

As a reminder, you are able to add funds to your student's lunch account through the Talawanda EZ Pay system. If your student's account reaches -$50 it will be rolled into your school fees. Please be mindful and keep your student's account current. You can use Talawanda EZ Pay, send a check or cash to the school office to take care of your student's balance.

Here is our lunch menu for February!

Hello parents and guardians!

We are continuing to work hard in our Second Step lessons on understanding empathy and practicing kindness towards not only our peers, but towards adults in our lives as well. We are close to wrapping up this unit before moving on to our final unit of the year, which will cover problem solving and understanding someone else’s point of view.

As mentioned in the Counselor Corner over the past couple of weeks, we are looking to get small groups up and moving. We have a couple that have started already, and students are enjoying connecting with their peers, making new friends, and learning new skills.

We have space to start a couple more groups, so if you are interested in your child participating in a small group, please fill out the google form and we will follow up with more information. Please fill out THIS Google form if you are interested in your student participating in a small group with their peers.

Do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to help support your student!

We have seen an increase in nurse visits this week in the clinic. We are asking you to please evaluate your children prior to sending them to school each day. Please keep your sick children at home to help prevent the spread of illness in the school.
