January Discovery Newsletter 2014
Happy New Year! Welcome back from Christmas
break, I hope you all had a great holiday.
I am happy to be back at Discovery! I missed everyone, and appreciate all the
help and support that was given to Mrs. Williams.
Thanks to everyone who supported our service
project. We were able to help several families and also donate to the Box Elder
Family Support Center. We appreciate
your continued support at Discovery!
2014-2015 School District Calendar
The school district would like your
feedback for next year's calendar. There are several options including a
two week Christmas Break and a possible one week Spring Break. Please use the
link below to express your preference.
The Leader in Me:
We are all working on learning the 7 Habits and incorporating
them into our lives. Each week we focus
on a different habit, so that we can better understand each habit and how to
implement the habit into our daily lives. Jan. 6, habit 1, Be Proactive, Jan
13, habit 2, Begin with the End in Mind, Jan. 21, habit 3, Put First Things
First, Jan. 27, habit 4, Think Win Win.
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who took time to complete the survey last
month! We appreciate your time and value
you your input!
Reminder
With the cold, snowy weather, please make
sure your child(ren) have the proper clothing to stay warm outside. Also, make
sure that your child’s coat,
gloves, hat, etc. are clearly labeled with his or her name. It
is much easier to return items to their rightful owners if they are labeled!
Our DIBELS testing will be Jan. 8 and 9. Please mark these dates and make every effort
to see that your child is in school on these dates!
January 10,
we will have our second Kenn Garff Road to Success Assembly. This year the student that wins the Ken Garff
Certificate can purchase either a bike, scooter or MP3 player. We will draw a
winner for the Ken Garff certificate and other prizes! The top two classes that
have read the most days will get to watch their teacher in a pie eating contest
at the assembly! Please take time and
read to or with your child each night!
The 20 minutes you spend reading each night has a significant impact on
your child’s academic success.
SEP conferences will be held on Feb. 5 and 6. A scheduled time will be sent home with each
student. I encourage you to make every effort to come to your child’s
conference. On Feb. 7 there will be NO school for Kindergarten.
Book
Fair
We will have another book fair during our SEP conferences
in Feb. You can also access the books that will be sold at the book fair on
line. Please click on the link below.
The link will be available from Jan. 21-Feb. 14.
Art Show
Discovery Elementary will be hosting an
Art Fair on Jan. 27 from 6-8 at Discovery.
Each child will have the opportunity to have something on display at the
Art Fair. These projects will be under
the direction of the classroom teachers.
One winner from each class will go on to participate in the district Art
Fair on Feb. 10.
Awards Assembly
Each month we have an awards assembly to
recognize student accomplishments. Dec. 19, was the kindergarten and first
grade assembly. Several students were recognized for their academic success and
their citizenship. This month will be the second and third grade Awards Assembly
on Jan. 30, 2014. If your son or
daughter is getting an award that day, the teacher will contact you so you can
make arrangements to attend the Awards Assembly.
