THE NEWS OF VINEYARDS ELEMENTARY Creating lifetime learners on a path to success JUNE 2016 Kindergarten Our Kindergarten students have learned so much this year. They have developed into great readers and writers. This past quarter we read and wrote about the life cycles of many animals including the butterfly, chicken, frog, and many sea animals. We are now able to write complete sentences using capitals, punctuation, and amazing words such as adjectives. In math we practiced addition and subtraction and figured out which operation to use when reading word problems. The kindergarten students are very prepared for first grade next year. Wishing them all an exciting summer! We loved seeing your child’s academic growth and development over the course of this school year, and we will truly miss each and every child. As summer break approaches, students and families are looking forward to many wonderful events. Summer activities provide valuable experiences in which children learn about themselves and the world around them. Your child’s life can be enriched through reading and journal writing. Please make sure that your child’s day includes time that is set aside for independent reading and also some fun and relaxation! A special wish to our fifth graders who are moving on to middle school. Take the wonderful things you have learned in your time with us and make a difference in all that you do.

able to write complete sentences using capitals punctuation and amazing words such

as adjectives In math we practiced addition and subtraction and figured out which

operation to use when reading word problems The kindergarten students are very

prepared for first grade next year Wishing them all an exciting summer

We loved seeing your childrsquos academic growth and development over the course of this school year and we will truly miss each and every child As summer break approaches students and families are looking forward to many wonderful events Summer activities provide valuable experiences in which children learn about themselves and the world around them Your childrsquos life can be enriched through reading and journal writing Please make sure that your childrsquos day includes time that is set aside for independent reading and also some fun and relaxation

First Grade

Wow What an amazing adventure the first grade had at the Naples Botanical Gardens

thanks to support from our PTO and our Chipotle fundraiser Students viewed marsh

plants on a walking tour and even got to touch some algae as they learned about how it

helps keep our water clean The butterfly garden was another highlight of our trip We

were able to see a variety of kinds of chrysalis and different types of butterflies to follow

up the learning we did in science about the lifecycle of butterflies One of our favorite

parts was seeing the waterfall and cool art work around the gardens First grade would

like to thank the PTO parents who supported our fall fundraiser and the wonderful chap-

erones who all made this trip possible

Second Grade

Amazing second graders continue to rock it out From getting our ldquorhythmrdquo and ldquorhymerdquo

down in stories to learning about the various types of weather patterns and how

important our Earthrsquos resources are to our existence Planting seeds and watching them

grow into beautiful healthy plants learning how the earth soil and sun all contribute to

the life cycle has been an amazing and fulfilling learning experience for second grade In

addition wersquove been traveling through time in Social Studies learning about the various

symbols of our government the Native American Indians our American heritage and

exchanging some shared family traditions We have had such an exciting and rewarding

year in second grade

Third Grade

Wow this year has flown by The third graders have worked extremely hard this year

and have grown so much We are very proud of their efforts We are currently preparing

our third graders for fourth grade Some suggestions we have for summer break are to

practice multiplication facts journal about your summer activities and most of all READ

Thank you for a great year third graders

Fourth Grade It so hard to believe that this school year has come to a close The fourth grade team

would like to thank all volunteers and parents for their generosity and support this year

We also would like to thank our amazing students for all their hard work and dedication

during the past year It was a wonderful year We wish all our students a pleasant and

safe summer Remember to keep reading continue to practice multiplication amp division

facts have fun and stay safe

Fifth Grade Fifth Grade has been feverishly at work during the 4

th quarter The students have

thoroughly enjoyed having Junior Achievement lessons with Mr Kozel His lessons about our economy business and entrepreneurship have kept the classes eager for his return every week We are very lucky and appreciative that he worked with the teachers around the testing schedules to let each class participate in this wonderful program Fifth Grade was also able to complete part 2 of the FGCU Panther Posse program and spend a day out at CREW in Lee County and learn all about the importance of the watershed and how animals and humans interact with the environment A very special thank you to Mrs Ricky director of FGCU ldquoWings of Hoperdquo program for inviting our 5

th

graders to take part in this amazing experience We made it through our FSA ELA and Math tests as well as the FCAT Science test Our students did an amazing job being respectful of all those testing while moving through the hallways and worked incredibly hard while taking these tests We are very proud of each and every one of our students After the big tests we were able to preview and buy our favorite new books at the Book Fair Many of us found some special new books to read that sparked our interest Thank you to Mrs Bolen Mrs Fornberg and all the PTO moms that helped make the Book Fair happen Next the 5

th graders got a sneak peek into life as a middle school student by taking a

field trip to either North Naples Middle School or Oak Ridge Middle School Students took a tour of the schools and had presentations on classes and expectations for next year The countdown is on We were also able to take a field trip to the Baker Museum at Naples-Artis thanks to Mrs Powell She helped coordinate all the classes going to the museum to see all the beautiful artwork and sculptures held at the museum Our docents at the museum were incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide us through the exhibits Thank you Mrs Powell As we prepare for the final push to the end of the school year we will be having our 5

th

Grade Recognition Ceremony our pool party and BBQ It will be a special time to say our good-byes as we prepare for summer and moving up to 6

th grade Congratulations to all

our students and we hope you have a safe and happy summer Good luck next year

I pledge to come to school the Viper way

ON TIME ALL DAY EVERY DAY I Pledge to be

Respectful Responsible

Peaceful and a Problem-Solver

On the Run with PE

The physical education classes had a hot Spring Our K-2 students participated in educational

gymnastics Students in K-2 did aerobic dance and 3-5 graders participated in ball room dance

All students completed our tennis unit learning the forehand stroke and how important it is to

keep your eyes on the ball

We want to give a special send off to Mrs Purdy as she will

be retiring this year We have enjoyed all our years together

and want to wish her many more years of relaxation as she

endeavors on a new part of her life Thank you for all your

guidance We especially love you taking the time and effort

to lead our school for many years in the Jump Rope For

Heart Thanks again and enjoy your new free time We

love you Mrs Purdy

Last but not least please have an enjoyable summer and remember to keep moving always

wear sunscreen and especially reapply use safety when near water and when walking or riding

your bike Have a restful Summer and cant wait to see you in the Fall

Donrsquot forget to check our website for school

Greetings from the Art Room

It has been a fabulous year for both Ms Pancamo and myself While the school year is winding

down we are still finishing up some projects to send home A few classes are putting the final

touches on their clay sculptures Those pieces will need to be fired in the kiln before being re-

turned

Mrs Powellrsquos fourth grade classes have been working on their own version of Grant Woodrsquos

American Gothic I am so impressed with their creativity and sense of humor as well as their

craftsmanship with this project Please talk to them about it once they are completed

Finally I want to recognize our fifth grade students and teachers for their successful trip to

Artis-Naples (the Naples Museum of Art) Vineyards Elementary has not visited the museum in a

few years and I have heard nothing but raves about this field trip I am pleased to say that our

students were poised engaged and inquisitive and had a very positive experience Way to

represent Vineyards and Collier County Schools

Best wishes to our fifth grade students as they move on to their next step in Education Have a

wonderful summer break

Artfully yours

Mrs Powell and Ms Pancamo

A Note From Mr Ziegler Congratulations to the VES fifth grade for completing their music video for the song Happy by Pharrell

Williams Also thank you to the PTO for providing each student with a copy of their video The fourth

grade has had a successful unit on guitars The students have learned to play and read music for the

1st three open strings on the guitar as well as the notes on the 1

st and 3

rd frets of the first string In third

grade we have had the following Recorder Karate belts awarded 114 white 112 yellow 109 orange

101 green 91 purple 77 blue 62 red 46 brown and 33 black Second grade worded on musicals and

learned the songs from Seussical the Musical First grade and Kindergarten continued learning basic

music concepts and instruments of the orchestra

During the summer try to add something musical to your familyrsquos activities You could begin private

lessons on an instrumentvoice Go see a live performance Have a music night at home where all

members of the family sing karaoke You could even enroll your kids in a summer musical theater

production at one of our local theaters Most importantly have fun

When Kids Argue

It came from the backseat It crept up while we were on the phone It wasnt a monster but

something much more menacing - kids arguing

Have you noticed that kids pick the worst times to start bickering Few things can be as

annoying or draining for parents What options do we have when kids argue with each other

How about

What statements can we make in these situations to help keep the problem of arguing on the kids shoulders where that problem belongs Some parents try this one It sounds like you guys are having a problem - and it will be interesting to see how you solve it And if they dont solve it Parents can solve the problem - perhaps by charging the kids something to put back the energy it took to listen to that fighting Some parents charge $1 per minute to listen to arguing in the car (or other situations in which the parent cant escape) Other parents charge by offering some of their own chores for the children to accomplish to put back the drained energy Many parents using Love and Logic techniques have success empowering their kids to solve problems and resolve conflicts (on their own) rather than reacting with anger and frustration in the moment And when the kids dont resolve things wisely it costs them something You can hear more great ideas for sibling arguing and bickering in Dr Charles Fays fun CD Sibling Rivalry

bull What we model

Noetic Mathletes at their best

Literacy experts and educators agree that children of all ages need to be read to read

by themselves and talk about the books they have read during the summer Your

studentrsquos summer reading and book discussions will help maintain reading skills

improve reading fluency and provide the opportunity to learn new vocabulary and

concepts Most importantly when parents and children enjoy summer reading

together children develop a love of books and reading that lasts a lifetime

In an attempt to help curb the ldquosummer sliderdquo and maintain literacy skills a calendar of

quick and easy literacy activities follows this newsletter Each day holds and activity

that you could do with your child or have them complete it individually You are also

encouraged to have your child read over the summer Log how many minutes a day is

read together andor independently You will be amazed how quickly five minutes here

and eight minutes there can add up over the summer

Happy Reading

Julie Kelly

Reading Tips from the Reading Coach

A Message from our

Intervention Support Specialist

As we go into summer and you view your childrsquos report card please review if your child

may need additional support or enrichment going into the next school year As parents

you are a integral factor in your childrsquos education so please always reach out to the school

when you have questions or concerns about your childrsquos education and progress We

always differentiate to meet your childrsquos specific needs whether it is remediating

accommodating or enriching within the curriculum There are different resources and

strategies to support the student depending on their needs Often times parents are not

aware until it is too late When discussing with your child how their day or school year

went please discuss with your teacher any questions or concerns you may have so as a

team we can put in place interventions early on to better support each individual student

Marlene Dimas

Media Center News

Our Spring Book Fair was a terrific success Twenty-seven dedicated 3rd 4th and 5th graders read the SSYRA books this year and participated in the Sunshine State Celebration They all did an amazing job and had lots of fun

Beware the ldquoSummer Sliderdquo Thatrsquos what happens when children do not continue reading over the summer Their reading levels slide down over the break and then they have to try to catch up when we come back to school in the fall Be sure to visit your local public library You and your child can get library cards for free

Keep on reading

First Grade

Wow What an amazing adventure the first grade had at the Naples Botanical Gardens

thanks to support from our PTO and our Chipotle fundraiser Students viewed marsh

plants on a walking tour and even got to touch some algae as they learned about how it

helps keep our water clean The butterfly garden was another highlight of our trip We

were able to see a variety of kinds of chrysalis and different types of butterflies to follow

up the learning we did in science about the lifecycle of butterflies One of our favorite

parts was seeing the waterfall and cool art work around the gardens First grade would

like to thank the PTO parents who supported our fall fundraiser and the wonderful chap-

erones who all made this trip possible

Second Grade

Amazing second graders continue to rock it out From getting our ldquorhythmrdquo and ldquorhymerdquo

down in stories to learning about the various types of weather patterns and how

important our Earthrsquos resources are to our existence Planting seeds and watching them

grow into beautiful healthy plants learning how the earth soil and sun all contribute to

Greetings from the Art Room

It has been a fabulous year for both Ms Pancamo and myself While the school year is winding

down we are still finishing up some projects to send home A few classes are putting the final

touches on their clay sculptures Those pieces will need to be fired in the kiln before being re-

turned

Mrs Powellrsquos fourth grade classes have been working on their own version of Grant Woodrsquos

American Gothic I am so impressed with their creativity and sense of humor as well as their

craftsmanship with this project Please talk to them about it once they are completed

Finally I want to recognize our fifth grade students and teachers for their successful trip to

Artis-Naples (the Naples Museum of Art) Vineyards Elementary has not visited the museum in a

few years and I have heard nothing but raves about this field trip I am pleased to say that our

students were poised engaged and inquisitive and had a very positive experience Way to

represent Vineyards and Collier County Schools

Best wishes to our fifth grade students as they move on to their next step in Education Have a

wonderful summer break

Artfully yours

Mrs Powell and Ms Pancamo

A Note From Mr Ziegler Congratulations to the VES fifth grade for completing their music video for the song Happy by Pharrell

Williams Also thank you to the PTO for providing each student with a copy of their video The fourth

grade has had a successful unit on guitars The students have learned to play and read music for the

1st three open strings on the guitar as well as the notes on the 1

st and 3

rd frets of the first string In third

grade we have had the following Recorder Karate belts awarded 114 white 112 yellow 109 orange

101 green 91 purple 77 blue 62 red 46 brown and 33 black Second grade worded on musicals and

learned the songs from Seussical the Musical First grade and Kindergarten continued learning basic

music concepts and instruments of the orchestra

During the summer try to add something musical to your familyrsquos activities You could begin private

lessons on an instrumentvoice Go see a live performance Have a music night at home where all

members of the family sing karaoke You could even enroll your kids in a summer musical theater

production at one of our local theaters Most importantly have fun

When Kids Argue

It came from the backseat It crept up while we were on the phone It wasnt a monster but

something much more menacing - kids arguing

Have you noticed that kids pick the worst times to start bickering Few things can be as

annoying or draining for parents What options do we have when kids argue with each other

How about

What statements can we make in these situations to help keep the problem of arguing on the kids shoulders where that problem belongs Some parents try this one It sounds like you guys are having a problem - and it will be interesting to see how you solve it And if they dont solve it Parents can solve the problem - perhaps by charging the kids something to put back the energy it took to listen to that fighting Some parents charge $1 per minute to listen to arguing in the car (or other situations in which the parent cant escape) Other parents charge by offering some of their own chores for the children to accomplish to put back the drained energy Many parents using Love and Logic techniques have success empowering their kids to solve problems and resolve conflicts (on their own) rather than reacting with anger and frustration in the moment And when the kids dont resolve things wisely it costs them something You can hear more great ideas for sibling arguing and bickering in Dr Charles Fays fun CD Sibling Rivalry

Noetic Mathletes at their best

Literacy experts and educators agree that children of all ages need to be read to read

by themselves and talk about the books they have read during the summer Your

studentrsquos summer reading and book discussions will help maintain reading skills

improve reading fluency and provide the opportunity to learn new vocabulary and

concepts Most importantly when parents and children enjoy summer reading

together children develop a love of books and reading that lasts a lifetime

In an attempt to help curb the ldquosummer sliderdquo and maintain literacy skills a calendar of

quick and easy literacy activities follows this newsletter Each day holds and activity

that you could do with your child or have them complete it individually You are also

encouraged to have your child read over the summer Log how many minutes a day is

read together andor independently You will be amazed how quickly five minutes here

and eight minutes there can add up over the summer

Happy Reading

Reading Tips from the Reading Coach

A Message from our

Intervention Support Specialist

As we go into summer and you view your childrsquos report card please review if your child

may need additional support or enrichment going into the next school year As parents

you are a integral factor in your childrsquos education so please always reach out to the school

when you have questions or concerns about your childrsquos education and progress We

always differentiate to meet your childrsquos specific needs whether it is remediating

accommodating or enriching within the curriculum There are different resources and

strategies to support the student depending on their needs Often times parents are not

aware until it is too late When discussing with your child how their day or school year

went please discuss with your teacher any questions or concerns you may have so as a

team we can put in place interventions early on to better support each individual student

Marlene Dimas

Media Center News

Our Spring Book Fair was a terrific success Twenty-seven dedicated 3rd 4th and 5th graders read the SSYRA books this year and participated in the Sunshine State Celebration They all did an amazing job and had lots of fun

Beware the ldquoSummer Sliderdquo Thatrsquos what happens when children do not continue reading over the summer Their reading levels slide down over the break and then they have to try to catch up when we come back to school in the fall Be sure to visit your local public library You and your child can get library cards for free

Keep on reading

I pledge to come to school the Viper way

ON TIME ALL DAY EVERY DAY I Pledge to be

Respectful Responsible

Peaceful and a Problem-Solver

I will be a Be Worthy student at Vineyards

On the Run with PE

The physical education classes had a hot Spring Our K-2 students participated in educational

gymnastics Students in K-2 did aerobic dance and 3-5 graders participated in ball room dance

All students completed our tennis unit learning the forehand stroke and how important it is to

keep your eyes on the ball

We want to give a special send off to Mrs Purdy as she will

be retiring this year We have enjoyed all our years together

and want to wish her many more years of relaxation as she

endeavors on a new part of her life Thank you for all your

guidance We especially love you taking the time and effort

to lead our school for many years in the Jump Rope For

Heart Thanks again and enjoy your new free time We

love you Mrs Purdy

Last but not least please have an enjoyable summer and remember to keep moving always

wear sunscreen and especially reapply use safety when near water and when walking or riding

your bike Have a restful Summer and cant wait to see you in the Fall

Donrsquot forget to check our website for school

supply lists dress code and other important

back to school information

Greetings from the Art Room

It has been a fabulous year for both Ms Pancamo and myself While the school year is winding

down we are still finishing up some projects to send home A few classes are putting the final

touches on their clay sculptures Those pieces will need to be fired in the kiln before being re-

turned

Mrs Powellrsquos fourth grade classes have been working on their own version of Grant Woodrsquos

American Gothic I am so impressed with their creativity and sense of humor as well as their

craftsmanship with this project Please talk to them about it once they are completed

Finally I want to recognize our fifth grade students and teachers for their successful trip to

Artis-Naples (the Naples Museum of Art) Vineyards Elementary has not visited the museum in a

few years and I have heard nothing but raves about this field trip I am pleased to say that our

students were poised engaged and inquisitive and had a very positive experience Way to

represent Vineyards and Collier County Schools

Best wishes to our fifth grade students as they move on to their next step in Education Have a

wonderful summer break

Artfully yours

Mrs Powell and Ms Pancamo

A Note From Mr Ziegler Congratulations to the VES fifth grade for completing their music video for the song Happy by Pharrell

Williams Also thank you to the PTO for providing each student with a copy of their video The fourth

grade has had a successful unit on guitars The students have learned to play and read music for the

1st three open strings on the guitar as well as the notes on the 1

st and 3

rd frets of the first string In third

grade we have had the following Recorder Karate belts awarded 114 white 112 yellow 109 orange

101 green 91 purple 77 blue 62 red 46 brown and 33 black Second grade worded on musicals and

learned the songs from Seussical the Musical First grade and Kindergarten continued learning basic

music concepts and instruments of the orchestra

During the summer try to add something musical to your familyrsquos activities You could begin private

lessons on an instrumentvoice Go see a live performance Have a music night at home where all

members of the family sing karaoke You could even enroll your kids in a summer musical theater

production at one of our local theaters Most importantly have fun

When Kids Argue

It came from the backseat It crept up while we were on the phone It wasnt a monster but

something much more menacing - kids arguing

Have you noticed that kids pick the worst times to start bickering Few things can be as

annoying or draining for parents What options do we have when kids argue with each other

How about

What statements can we make in these situations to help keep the problem of arguing on the kids shoulders where that problem belongs Some parents try this one It sounds like you guys are having a problem - and it will be interesting to see how you solve it And if they dont solve it Parents can solve the problem - perhaps by charging the kids something to put back the energy it took to listen to that fighting Some parents charge $1 per minute to listen to arguing in the car (or other situations in which the parent cant escape) Other parents charge by offering some of their own chores for the children to accomplish to put back the drained energy Many parents using Love and Logic techniques have success empowering their kids to solve problems and resolve conflicts (on their own) rather than reacting with anger and frustration in the moment And when the kids dont resolve things wisely it costs them something You can hear more great ideas for sibling arguing and bickering in Dr Charles Fays fun CD Sibling Rivalry

Greetings from the Art Room

It has been a fabulous year for both Ms Pancamo and myself While the school year is winding

down we are still finishing up some projects to send home A few classes are putting the final

touches on their clay sculptures Those pieces will need to be fired in the kiln before being re-

turned

Mrs Powellrsquos fourth grade classes have been working on their own version of Grant Woodrsquos

American Gothic I am so impressed with their creativity and sense of humor as well as their

craftsmanship with this project Please talk to them about it once they are completed

Finally I want to recognize our fifth grade students and teachers for their successful trip to

Artis-Naples (the Naples Museum of Art) Vineyards Elementary has not visited the museum in a

few years and I have heard nothing but raves about this field trip I am pleased to say that our

students were poised engaged and inquisitive and had a very positive experience Way to

represent Vineyards and Collier County Schools

Best wishes to our fifth grade students as they move on to their next step in Education Have a

wonderful summer break

Artfully yours

Mrs Powell and Ms Pancamo

A Note From Mr Ziegler Congratulations to the VES fifth grade for completing their music video for the song Happy by Pharrell

Williams Also thank you to the PTO for providing each student with a copy of their video The fourth

grade has had a successful unit on guitars The students have learned to play and read music for the

1st three open strings on the guitar as well as the notes on the 1

st and 3

rd frets of the first string In third

grade we have had the following Recorder Karate belts awarded 114 white 112 yellow 109 orange

101 green 91 purple 77 blue 62 red 46 brown and 33 black Second grade worded on musicals and

learned the songs from Seussical the Musical First grade and Kindergarten continued learning basic

music concepts and instruments of the orchestra

During the summer try to add something musical to your familyrsquos activities You could begin private

lessons on an instrumentvoice Go see a live performance Have a music night at home where all

members of the family sing karaoke You could even enroll your kids in a summer musical theater

production at one of our local theaters Most importantly have fun

When Kids Argue

It came from the backseat It crept up while we were on the phone It wasnt a monster but

something much more menacing - kids arguing

Have you noticed that kids pick the worst times to start bickering Few things can be as

annoying or draining for parents What options do we have when kids argue with each other

How about

What statements can we make in these situations to help keep the problem of arguing on the kids shoulders where that problem belongs Some parents try this one It sounds like you guys are having a problem - and it will be interesting to see how you solve it And if they dont solve it Parents can solve the problem - perhaps by charging the kids something to put back the energy it took to listen to that fighting Some parents charge $1 per minute to listen to arguing in the car (or other situations in which the parent cant escape) Other parents charge by offering some of their own chores for the children to accomplish to put back the drained energy Many parents using Love and Logic techniques have success empowering their kids to solve problems and resolve conflicts (on their own) rather than reacting with anger and frustration in the moment And when the kids dont resolve things wisely it costs them something You can hear more great ideas for sibling arguing and bickering in Dr Charles Fays fun CD Sibling Rivalry

bull Whether we are physically present to hear it or not

bull How much we charge to listen to it

bull How we react

bull What we model

Noetic Mathletes at their best

Literacy experts and educators agree that children of all ages need to be read to read

by themselves and talk about the books they have read during the summer Your

studentrsquos summer reading and book discussions will help maintain reading skills

improve reading fluency and provide the opportunity to learn new vocabulary and

concepts Most importantly when parents and children enjoy summer reading

together children develop a love of books and reading that lasts a lifetime

In an attempt to help curb the ldquosummer sliderdquo and maintain literacy skills a calendar of

quick and easy literacy activities follows this newsletter Each day holds and activity

that you could do with your child or have them complete it individually You are also

encouraged to have your child read over the summer Log how many minutes a day is

read together andor independently You will be amazed how quickly five minutes here

and eight minutes there can add up over the summer

Happy Reading

Julie Kelly

Reading Tips from the Reading Coach

A Message from our

Intervention Support Specialist

As we go into summer and you view your childrsquos report card please review if your child

may need additional support or enrichment going into the next school year As parents

you are a integral factor in your childrsquos education so please always reach out to the school

when you have questions or concerns about your childrsquos education and progress We

always differentiate to meet your childrsquos specific needs whether it is remediating

accommodating or enriching within the curriculum There are different resources and

strategies to support the student depending on their needs Often times parents are not

aware until it is too late When discussing with your child how their day or school year

went please discuss with your teacher any questions or concerns you may have so as a

team we can put in place interventions early on to better support each individual student

Marlene Dimas

Media Center News

Our Spring Book Fair was a terrific success Twenty-seven dedicated 3rd 4th and 5th graders read the SSYRA books this year and participated in the Sunshine State Celebration They all did an amazing job and had lots of fun

Beware the ldquoSummer Sliderdquo Thatrsquos what happens when children do not continue reading over the summer Their reading levels slide down over the break and then they have to try to catch up when we come back to school in the fall Be sure to visit your local public library You and your child can get library cards for free

Keep on reading

When Kids Argue

It came from the backseat It crept up while we were on the phone It wasnt a monster but

something much more menacing - kids arguing

Have you noticed that kids pick the worst times to start bickering Few things can be as

annoying or draining for parents What options do we have when kids argue with each other

How about

What statements can we make in these situations to help keep the problem of arguing on the kids shoulders where that problem belongs Some parents try this one It sounds like you guys are having a problem - and it will be interesting to see how you solve it And if they dont solve it Parents can solve the problem - perhaps by charging the kids something to put back the energy it took to listen to that fighting Some parents charge $1 per minute to listen to arguing in the car (or other situations in which the parent cant escape) Other parents charge by offering some of their own chores for the children to accomplish to put back the drained energy Many parents using Love and Logic techniques have success empowering their kids to solve problems and resolve conflicts (on their own) rather than reacting with anger and frustration in the moment And when the kids dont resolve things wisely it costs them something You can hear more great ideas for sibling arguing and bickering in Dr Charles Fays fun CD Sibling Rivalry

Literacy experts and educators agree that children of all ages need to be read to read

by themselves and talk about the books they have read during the summer Your

studentrsquos summer reading and book discussions will help maintain reading skills

improve reading fluency and provide the opportunity to learn new vocabulary and

concepts Most importantly when parents and children enjoy summer reading

together children develop a love of books and reading that lasts a lifetime

In an attempt to help curb the ldquosummer sliderdquo and maintain literacy skills a calendar of

quick and easy literacy activities follows this newsletter Each day holds and activity

that you could do with your child or have them complete it individually You are also

encouraged to have your child read over the summer Log how many minutes a day is

read together andor independently You will be amazed how quickly five minutes here

and eight minutes there can add up over the summer

Happy Reading

Reading Tips from the Reading Coach

A Message from our

Intervention Support Specialist

As we go into summer and you view your childrsquos report card please review if your child

may need additional support or enrichment going into the next school year As parents

you are a integral factor in your childrsquos education so please always reach out to the school

when you have questions or concerns about your childrsquos education and progress We

always differentiate to meet your childrsquos specific needs whether it is remediating

accommodating or enriching within the curriculum There are different resources and

strategies to support the student depending on their needs Often times parents are not

aware until it is too late When discussing with your child how their day or school year

went please discuss with your teacher any questions or concerns you may have so as a

team we can put in place interventions early on to better support each individual student

Marlene Dimas

Media Center News

Our Spring Book Fair was a terrific success Twenty-seven dedicated 3rd 4th and 5th graders read the SSYRA books this year and participated in the Sunshine State Celebration They all did an amazing job and had lots of fun

Beware the ldquoSummer Sliderdquo Thatrsquos what happens when children do not continue reading over the summer Their reading levels slide down over the break and then they have to try to catch up when we come back to school in the fall Be sure to visit your local public library You and your child can get library cards for free

Media Center News

Our Spring Book Fair was a terrific success Twenty-seven dedicated 3rd 4th and 5th graders read the SSYRA books this year and participated in the Sunshine State Celebration They all did an amazing job and had lots of fun

Beware the ldquoSummer Sliderdquo Thatrsquos what happens when children do not continue reading over the summer Their reading levels slide down over the break and then they have to try to catch up when we come back to school in the fall Be sure to visit your local public library You and your child can get library cards for free

Keep on reading
