Hi Families -
The first light snow indicates that winter is truly, officially here! Stay warm and please remember that the students go outside for recess each day. As this year has progressed, I have tried different formats for including information in this blog from bullets to narratives and mid-week postings. Thank you for your feedback in giving me ideas about what works best for you. For this week, here are some highlights of the week:
- See below for the schedule of performances tonight at Barnes and Noble in Lincolnshire.
- Today was Dessert Day - YUM!
- If you missed the report card night hosted by the district and still have questions, click here for the Report Card Podcast complete with teacher testimonial.
- Superintendent of Schools, Julie Schmidt, visited with us this week. She attended music class this week, our staff meeting on Tuesday, and spent informal time with staff today. We love that she is so connected to the amazing things happening at Country Meadows.
- All classrooms received wonderful notes from me about the fabulous learning that has been occurring. Ask your child about my visit this week! From preparing for the 4th and 5th grade musical in art and music, to bowling in gym, and including great learning in the classrooms, it's been an amazing week watching the students work.
- Lisa Zimmerman, our math specialist, hosted a math night for our parents to practice our 2nd grade focus algorithms as well as give advice about supporting math learning at home. Click here for the presentation.
We loved seeing you at conferences to discuss your child's amazing progress! Thank you again for attending.
See you soon!
Katie Schneider
