COME ON SPRING!<br />
The weather l<strong>ast</strong> week was quite<br />
a tease wasn’t it? It was so good<br />
to see the sunshine and the kids<br />
being able to go outside for recess<br />
(for one day). I’m holding onto<br />
the belief that since winter came a<br />
month early that spring will be<br />
here early too.<br />
With spring comes a lot of<br />
planning for the rest of the year as<br />
well as next year. The teachers<br />
have just completed class data<br />
reports for me which let me know<br />
where each and every student is<br />
academically. We are using this<br />
information to guide our instruction<br />
with your student for the rest<br />
of the year, ensuring that each and<br />
every student makes the academic<br />
growth that we expect.<br />
Third through fifth grade students<br />
have been taking practice<br />
B u c k e y e V a l l e y E a s t<br />
E l e m e n t a r y<br />
Ohio Achievement tests (we like<br />
to call them scrimmage tests).<br />
The teachers are also using this<br />
piece of data to decide where we<br />
go next with our instruction.<br />
If you are the parent of a<br />
third, fourth or fifth grade student<br />
please mark the test dates<br />
on your calendar now. The<br />
Reading Achievement test will<br />
be on Tuesday, April 26 th , the<br />
Math Achievement test will be<br />
Thursday, April 28 th , and the<br />
fifth grade Science Achievement<br />
test will be Tuesday, May 3 rd .<br />
Please try to arrange any appointments<br />
around these dates.<br />
We find that the students perform<br />
so much better on the assessments<br />
when they are here to<br />
take it with the rest of their<br />
class.<br />

ences with each third through<br />
fifth grade student. Together<br />
we will be reflecting on their<br />
p<strong>ast</strong> performance on the OAA<br />
tests and setting goals together<br />
for this year’s tests. I treasure<br />
this time to meet with each student.<br />
It’s a great opportunity for<br />
me to give them a pat on the<br />
back for their efforts!!<br />
We look forward to seeing<br />
everyone at Parent/Teacher conferences<br />
on March 3 rd and 8 th as<br />
well as at the fabulous PTO<br />
Carnival on the 18 th !!<br />
Keep practicing those math<br />
facts at home and, as always,<br />
READ, READ, READ with<br />
your child.<br />
Spring has to be coming<br />
SOON!!!!<br />

dar…..Super Games will take<br />

need lots of volunteers. Look for<br />

Mrs. Bindel’s second grade class had<br />
the privilege of having Mr. Tyler Meier<br />
come in and teach Writer's Workshop!<br />
He had the kids start off with some free<br />
writing and then had them use their "idea<br />
machines" to write a poem of their own<br />
based on ideas he shared with them. The<br />
poem he shared was the following by<br />
W.B. Yeats:<br />
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,<br />
Enwrought with golden and silver light,<br />
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths<br />
Of night and light and the half light,<br />
I would spread the cloths under your feet:<br />
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;<br />
I have spread my dreams under<br />
your feet;<br />
Tread softly because you tread<br />
on my dreams.<br />
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)<br />
"He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"<br />
from the Collected Works of W.B. Yeats<br />
We are now in the process of a poetry<br />
journey. We're been<br />
studying different forms<br />
of poetry. So far we've<br />
done cinquain, free<br />
verse and haiku. Et to<br />
come are limericks,<br />
shape poems and others!<br />
Mr. Meier works<br />
for The Kenyon Review<br />
and is a poet himself.

The ESC Preschool has been studying<br />
fish and animals that live in and around<br />
the water. However, we took a brief<br />
break from this project to celebrate Chinese<br />
New Year. In the picture, Mrs. Terry<br />
shows everyone how to use chopsticks<br />
to eat Chinese food and we made<br />
Hong Bao, special envelopes for good<br />
luck money in the new year.<br />
MUSIC HAPPENINGS<br />
The second and first graders are working<br />
on music for their program about recycling<br />
called, "It's Easy Being Green." The<br />
kindergartners are also working on songs<br />
about recycling.<br />
The Introduction to Band Class has<br />
been learning more notes and songs and<br />
will also be performing on the March program.<br />
The third graders are learning to play<br />
piano! Our school has enough small,<br />
battery-operated keyboards for a classful<br />
of students, and every year the third graders<br />
have an introduction to the piano unit.<br />
They are doing very well so far!<br />
During January and February, the<br />
fourth and fifth graders have sung America's<br />
patriotic songs. The fifth graders have<br />
even learned American Sign Language for<br />
the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "God<br />
Bless America." In honor of Presidents'<br />
Day, they also sang the song, "Learning<br />
the Presidents," which lists all of the presidents<br />
from Washington through Obama in<br />
chronological order, and "Fifty Nifty Unit-
Change language
