Updates
Good Afternoon
Families,
We have had a very
busy week leading up to vacation. The students participated in Cupid Cafe,
Dental Health Program and the 100th day of school. The students really enjoyed
making Valentines for the Senior Center and other members of the community.
Thank you our cafeteria workers for putting together cupid’s cafe!
Coming up right when
we get back from Vacation week will be our Dr. Seuss week. Attached is the
information about all the different days we will be having. In addition we will
be kicking off our March Reading Celebration Month. As part of the celebration,
staff will be making short video clips of what they like to read and where. We
will be sharing this montage with the students on ALL SCHOOL meeting that week.
Once we kick it off, families will have an opportunity to upload videos and do
the same. More to come!
We had a great
enrichment program from Todd Waites the musician. The students really enjoyed
the performance and learned a lot about being different and never giving up
toward your goals. It was very inspiring.
We continue to work on
rolling out our PBIS program. Within the next month we will be rolling out the
Positive Reward System for students. Our PBIS team is finalizing some of the
details and we will have another All School Meeting in March to discuss what
that will look like. In addition, at the February 28th school committee meeting
at 7:00 p.m. we are having students and staff present about our 3 R's of responsibility,
respect and resilience. Please feel free to come and support our school during
the meeting or watch on T.V!

Read Across America Spirit Week!
Read Across America Spirit Week
February 26th-March 3rd
We are celebrating reading and Dr. Seuss’
birthday!
Each day, we will feature a different book.
Monday: Cat in the Hat day. Wear your own hat!
Tuesday: Fox in Socks day. Wear your crazy socks!
Wednesday: Wacky Wednesday day. Wear mismatched clothes!
Thursday: Oh, the Places You’ll Go day. Come dressed like what
you want to be when you grow up!
Friday: The Lorax day. Wear a mustache!
Please do not go out
and buy things for these days! Anything that children have at home or can make
would be just great.
Thank you and looking
forward to our Reading Celebration this month!
Dear Families,
During February 26th-March
3rd we will be kicking off Read across America Spirit week at the
Shawsheen. Our hopes are to get students even more excited about reading at
home and sharing their love of reading with the teachers, students and staff at
school. On the back of this page are different days in which students can
participate in. We did this last year and it was a blast. In addition, we are
going to make March a Reading Celebration month. During this month we will do
an All School Meeting Kickoff where we will have a video montage of teachers
and staff talking about their favorite books and where they like to read. We
will send the link to the video for families to watch as well and give families
an opportunity to do the same type of video to share. We are also going to have
a bulletin board in the cafeteria with a Dr. Seuss Theme, the Lorax. The Lorax
wears a mustache so we are going to have students write on a mustache template their
favorite book or a book they will recommend. We will be hanging these around
the cafeteria. During the month, we will share videos that come in and read
some mustaches over the loud speaker. We hope that children will enjoy these
fun events to celebrate reading.
On the reverse are the days for Dr.
Seuss Birthday celebration.
Thank you,
Mrs. King
Write your name a book you would recommend. On back you can write why it
is your favorite.

Important Dates
Good Afternoon Families,
I want to start off by thanking all families and students for donating gently used books to the Shawsheen Elementary. We have collected over 1000 books that will all go straight into the classrooms and in the hands of the students to read during Readers Workshop!
Friday is an early release day and students will be dismissed at 12 noon. No lunches will be served and please be sure if your child is going home by a different means of transportation that they have a note.
Just a few reminders looking ahead that we will be having an enrichment program for the whole school on Monday, February 5th Todd Waite will be coming in. He does a program on perseverance and being king to one another. Here is a link for information about him. http://www.toddwaites.com/
Also coming up in February, students will be introduced to our student recognition system that correlates to our Positive Behavioral Support Intervention (PBIS). Please stay tuned and more information will be sent out to families before the launch. Our PBIS team has been working diligently on developing a behavior matrix, lesson plans and much more surrounding our three key words of Respect, Resilience and Responsibility.
On February 14th, all students will take part in the Valentine Cafe put on by our terrific Lunch Staff. The tables will be decorated with table clothes and it will look like a cafe. We did this last year and the students loved it.
Something to look forward to in March is Dr. Suess's birthday. We will be doing a special week full of different theme days. In addition, we are going to launch a Reading Celebration. This is much like an incentive but we wanted it to be more of a celebration of reading. During the month, we will have students write about books they recommend, have some fun bulletin boards up, include teachers in the sharing about favorite books and much more. Stay tuned.

January Updates
Good Morning,
Happy New Year! We have had some crazy weather welcoming us into the new year, but the students were able to get outside this week for recess which is great news. We have also almost collected 700 gently used books for our January Book Drive. THANK you to all the families and students who have contributed. Also, thank to the middle school girl scouts who are helping to label, sort and count all the books. We are still accepting books, so feel free to send them in. These books are going to become welcome additions to expanding teachers classroom libraries. Thank you to families for following the entrance and exit procedures during car rider. It has improved, thank you.
We are continuing with our PBIS approach and will be having an All school meeting in January on respect. We are in the beginning stages of developing a pawsitive system for recognizing behaviors that display our core values of respect, resilience and responsibility. We will keep families updated as we progress with this.
A few reminders that we have an early release day on January 26th. Please be sure to send in a note if students are going home by a different means of transportation. Also, lunches will not be served.
Upcoming Dates:
Lastly, Barnes and Noble is doing a favorite teacher contest. I have attached the directions and the link to the contest if any students would like to participate at home. Feel free to not only send the copy into Barnes and Noble but also to your teacher. What a nice way to appreciate and acknowledge a teacher regardless of winning the contest.
Have a wonderful long weekend,
Mrs. King
