A message from Lynn Bub, Elementary School Principal
Greetings, Falcon Families!
Thank you for a strong start to the 2014-2015 school year. We hope you enjoy our new Newsletter format that offers the option of finding all three of our building Newsletters in one space! Our goal will be to provide you with important dates and examples of how we live our vision, mission, and commitments for kids each day.
As you know, we have been fortunate to welcome some great new staff, including Mr. Mike Nikson, our new Associate Principal at both the elementary and middle schools. While we strive to stay in touch with all stakeholders in our school community, please feel free to reach out to us when you have questions, comments or concerns. We look forward to working with you this school year!
Sincerely,
Lynn Bub, Principal

| Literacy Development at SFES |
|
|
Our Elementary Literacy Committee has been hard at work reviewing our current literacy processes and selecting professional development for our elementary staff. This year, we are working on our spelling process. Several teachers from a variety of grade levels have chosen to pilot a spelling approach called “Words Their Way.” This approach uses students’ development in spelling to help them learn word patterns so they can apply their knowledge to more words.

Recess and Volume Levels
Students and staff have been working on improving our learning environment by practicing more efficient recess procedures and “just right” volume levels. The response to these ideas has been great! Students are enjoying the “quiet waves” they can give and receive in the hallways without disrupting other classes. Click here to see the lesson we shared: http://goo.gl/1fd24E

The Importance of Voting
 Mrs. Schmitz’s First Graders took part in an election because Nov. 4th is the day to vote. Students learned about elections, ballots and voting at their level. Mrs. Schmitz read two stories (The Three Little Pigs told from the pigs’ point of view and The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs told by the wolf’s point of view). The students then voted on who they believed. The class ballots were totaled and the pig was the winner! Each student received a real “I Voted” sticker thanks to an awesome room parent!

Its Been an Exciting Fall
 Our STEAM House has been very busy this fall. Skyping with an expert on plate tectonics, engineering boats to survive a tsunami, and putting on the critically aclaimed show “Buh Bye Bullies” are just a few of the exciting things happening in the STEAM House. Collaboration with the High School 
SFES first grade students created prototypes for their own bat house designs and SFHS Tech Ed students brought those designs to life in their workshop! It was an awesome, collaborative STEM activity for all involved!
