Reading, Writing and Arithmetic!
|
|
|
We have had a successful launch of our academics this year, thanks to some great materials, new learning for staff, and increased student engagement. Hopefully, you have seen some of the Home Connections pieces for our Bridges math materials, word cards on rings, or some amazing writing shared by your student(s). Remember that time spent reading together, or using math in real life (such as measuring, cooking, and playing games) is the BEST homework, as it creates memories as well as providing academic practice.

On Friday, December 16th, SFES practiced our second fire drill of the school year. Our goal during a fire drill (or any controlled evacuation) is to move all 600 students and 80+ staff out of the building efficiently and safely. Students did an excellent job using a zero volume and walking feet so that everyone safely exited the building. Have you reviewed your home fire evacuation plan and meet-up point? Winter break is a great time to have that discussion at home.

Play is the Name of the Game
|
|
|
Play is essential for student social development (and to get the wiggles out!). We play outside every day that the combined temperature plus wind chill is zero degrees or above. Students need a jacket and snow pants, boots, and a hat / mittens. If you need support with these items, please contact our school counseling office at 920-467-7820.
|
|
In addition, we continue to need Recess / Playground Supervisors who enjoy being outside, and can offer consistent, calm support in helping students practice their social skills. More details HERE.

4K families decorated cookies and prepared reindeer food as part of our winter outreach! We saw a lot of older siblings, who were excited to join in the fun too.
|
|
|
Third graders had an opportunity to help their 4K buddies build gingerbread houses.
|
|
|
During Running Reindeer, special adults in our building visit each pod to do a little holiday reading. Thanks to all of our reindeer! We hope you’ll do more reading over the break at home, too!
