Greetings SLE families! We hope all of our families had a fun and restful spring break. Our students and staff returned recharged and ready to tackle Quarter 4!

Last week Quarter 3 Report Cards went home. If you have not yet had the opportunity to do so please review the report card with your child. Ask your child what they are most proud of from this past quarter and what goals they will set for quarter 4. If you have any questions about your child's report card, please reach out to your child's teacher.

We hope that you are able to join us the night of April 2nd for our Candy Land-themed Family Literacy Night! Our literacy coach, Lisa Hendrix, along with many teachers and staff have planned a fun-filled night of literacy activities you can do at home with your child to support their reading and writing skills. Dinner will be served thanks to our partners at Pi Beta Phi, this organization does so much to support literacy in our school.

Each month at SLE we focus on one of the 7 Habits of being an effective leader. During the month of March we focused on Habit 6: Synergyize and in April Habit 6: Sharpen the Saw. Take a moment to talk with your child about these habist and where they can apply it in their everyday lives at home and school.

The Safety Patrol at Shadowlawn Elementary is an excellent program that allows fourth and fifth graders to learn and practice leadership, responsibility, and contribution on a daily basis! A variety of positions are available in both the AM and PM, during the beginning and end of the school day, that allow students to assist with the daily routines and functions of the school. Positions for rising fourth graders will be announced soon as well. Each month, one of our seahawk safety patrols is chosen to be out “Safety Patrol of the Month”. This student is recognized on our school news and given an award to acknowledge their outstanding contributions to the school. We’re very proud of our safety patrols at Shadowlawn!
If your 3rd, 4th or 5th grade is student is interested in the program, simply reach out to the school counselor for more information!

Kindergarten visited Farmer Mikes and learned the importance of growing and eating healthy food.

First grade had a fun-filled month of celebrating all of the holidays in February. We celebrated Chinese New Year, Valentines Day, and even Dr. Suess’ birthday. We closed off the month with an extra day of Leap Year writing. Best month of the year!”

Second grade enjoyed our second round of clubs! Students sang along and broke down figurative language with Mr. Colon, wrote cards to celebrate staff birthdays with Ms. Denis, made and voted on Pumpkin Pie in a Cup with Ms. Rupert, and did gardening and campus cleanup with Ms. Mayorquin.

Third graders are learning about solar energy and energy transfer. They had a great time making their own solar oven in small groups to make s’mores and enjoyed eating them.

Hopppy Leap Day from 4th grade! Students got to complete various activities to compile and analyze data while learning about leap years. Did you know that every 4 years is considered a leap year and has 366 day in the calendar year. 4th grade families be sure to ask your students why we have leap years.

5th Grade Lead Graduation! Congratulations to our 5th graders! We are so proud of you! Just say NO!
