W elcome to the 2019-2020 school year!

We are off to such a great start; I could not be more pleased with how quickly the students settled into

their routines during the first month of the school year. It was incredible! I hope all of you had a wonderful summer. For those families who are new to our school. . . Welcome aboard, we are so happy to have you with us! At the PK-6 level, we welcome Peggy Goltz, Early Child-hood/K4 Teacher, who replaces Mrs. Schwister. We wish Mrs. Schwister all the best with her move to an-other district.

Information & Upcoming Events: STAR Testing: Students participated in STAR testing during the month of September. This computerized testing will enable teachers to get baseline information on each child’s reading and/or math levels at the begin-ning of the year. Students will be assessed a few other times throughout the year to help teachers make in-structional decisions in order to meet individual needs and monitor individual progress. The teachers also use this information to determine goals for the year. Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS): The Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) is a research-based screening, diagnostic, and progress monitoring tool. Teachers in Grades K4-2 will be using this tool to screen their students during the months of September through early November. Students within these grade levels will also take this assessment again in the spring. This is another assessment which will

provide the teachers with academic information about each child. Parent/Teacher Conferences: Mark your calendars! Conferences are coming up on October 14 and 17. You will receive specific information in the near future. Picture Retake Day: Any students who did not get their pictures taken on picture day OR who need a retake can do so during the morning hours on Wednesday, October 23.

GREAT START TO THE YEAR IN FIRST GRADE

O ur 2019-2020 school year got off to a great start! We have been con-centrating on establishing routines, getting to know each other, and

learning classroom and school rules. We have also read many books about being back at school and had several discussions about how ex-citing it is being in a new grade. Open House was a big success. It was a great opportunity to meet many of you before school actually began. It helped relieve some of those first day jitters. Also, thank you to all who were able to donate an item from our wish list. We appreciate your kindness and generosity. If you did not see the classroom wish lists during Open House, they are posted outside of each teacher’s classroom door. Stop by and grab a post-it note from the board. We are always in need of something. The first month has also been a big success when it comes to homework. It is great to see that the reading assignments and math skills practice pages are being completed and turned in on time. Thank you, parents, for listening to your child read and encouraging them to always do their best work. Together, we make a great team! ~Mrs. Streblow, Mrs. Behnke, and Mrs. Bellin

FUN AND NEW ROUTINES IN GRADE 4

W e are off to a great start in fourth grade. We are learning about our reading personalities and becoming more aware of our learning

strengths. We enjoy challenging ourselves and learn from all that we do. There are a lot of new routines, personalities, and practices that we are adjusting to, as our schedule begins to gel. One of the new challenges that we are putting our effort into is learning how to write realistic fiction stories about characters who have struggles and overcome them. We are also discovering who we are as readers and challenging ourselves to read, read, read! In math, we are solidifying our under-standing of place value, rounding, adding, and sub-tracting larger numbers. We are off to a fun and exciting start! ~Mrs. Krohlow, Ms. Schreiter, and Mr. Beer

OFF TO A GREAT START IN 4K

T he 4K students are off to a great start. They have been learning the school and classroom rules and routines. The children have been ex-

ploring their environment and learning how to share and take turns. We have been learning about apples; the children painted apples, tasted apples, and made a Five Apples Up On Top book. We also have been learning the months of the year and the days of the week, along with discussing the four seasons and watching for signs of fall to appear. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year. ~Mrs. Romenesko, Mrs. Schultz, Mrs. Goltz, and Mrs. Ninneman

T hird grade students are starting the year off with multiplication and us-ing drawings to help them learn.

~Mr. Backman, Ms. Hegner, and Ms. Kirschman

STRONG START IN THIRD GRADE

K-6 Students

I have spent the month of September teaching students what a school counselor does and help-ing them become familiar with the school coun-seling program. For those of you who are not familiar with the program, I wanted to give you some helpful information as well. First off, I visit each classroom (K-6) bi-weekly. During this time, we follow the Second Step curriculum in which students learn about feelings, self-regulation, self-esteem, listening, following directions, friend-ship, cooperation, and many other topics throughout the year. Besides classroom counseling, I may also provide small group or one-on-one counseling based on the needs of the student. There are many differ-ent reasons to see a school counselor in group or individual counseling: grief, worry, sadness, con-flicts with family or peers, divorce, academic con-cerns, family changes, etc. If you have any con-cerns, please feel free to send an email, call, or stop in to chat more. I will be an advocate for your child, to ensure they are receiving every-thing they need for their educational experience, academically or socially.

October Character Trait:

RESPECT

Every month the counseling department will provide a positive trait to help students develop and foster posi-tive character traits. We will list ideas for families to try at home and support what students learn in school. TIPS: Stay calm when your child is being disrespectful (or

if you think they are). Figure out causes for disrespect, then focus on

problem solving strategies. Respect your kids and model respect. Use kind and firm discipline to teach, not punish. Apologize when you make a mistake.

LMC NEWS Battle of the Books Middle and High School students have the opportunity to participate in the Battle of the Books this year. Battle of the Books is a state-wide reading challenge sponsored by WEMTA (Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Asso-ciation) where students are asked to work in a team of two, three, or four to read and answer questions about 20 different books. Mrs. Woodward is excited to offer this opportunity to the older students who may have partici-pated in or heard about Battle of the Books when they were in elementary school. Digital Citizenship Mrs. Woodward will be visiting Grades 5-8 throughout the year to teach students about Digital Citizenship. During these lessons, we will focus on six general topics: media balance, privacy & security, digital footprint & identity, relationships & communication, cyberbullying, digital dra-ma & hate speech, and news & media literacy. By discuss-ing these topics with students, we hope to empower them to think critically and act responsibly while they are online. Visit www.commonsense.org to learn how you can contin-ue the conversation at home. Genres The high school fiction section of the library has been reor-ganized by genre. The new system of organization helps students find books they are interested in because they can browse a section of similar books. The genres include: classics, fantasy, historical fiction, horror, mystery, para-normal romance, realistic fiction, romance, sci-fi/dystopian, sports fiction, and graphic novels. Feedback from students looking for books the first few weeks of school has been positive. Makerspace The makerspace is currently closed as it is undergoing a renovation. We hope to have the new and improved mak-erspace open soon!

HEALTH OFFICE NEWS What Is Vaping? Vaping is the inhaling of a vapor created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or other vaping device. E-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices. They have car-tridges filled with a liquid that usually con-tains nicotine, flavorings, and chemicals. The liquid is heated into a vapor, which the per-son inhales. That's why using e-cigarettes is called "vaping." What Are the Health Effects of Vaping? Vaping hasn't been around long enough for us to know how it affects the body over time. But health experts are reporting seri-ous lung damage in people who vape, in-cluding some deaths. Vaping puts nicotine into the body. Nicotine is highly addictive and can:

Slow brain development in kids and teens and affect memory, concentra-tion, learning, self-control, attention, and mood

Increase the risk of other types of addic-tion as adults

E-cigarettes also: Irritate the lungs May cause serious lung damage and

even death Can lead to smoking cigarettes and oth-

er forms of tobacco use Some people use e-cigarettes to vape marijuana, THC oil, and other danger-ous chemicals. Besides irritating the lungs, these drugs also affect how someone thinks, acts, and feels.

What About E-cigarettes That Don't Have Nicotine? Most e-cigarettes do have nicotine. Even those that don't do have chemicals in them. These chemicals can irritate and damage the lungs. The long-term effects of e-cigarettes that don't have nicotine are not known.

Why Should People Who Vape Quit? Unknown health effects: The long-term health consequences of vaping are not

known. Recent studies report serious lung damage in people who vape, and even some deaths. Addiction: Addiction in the growing brain may set up pathways for later addiction to other substances. Brain risks: Nicotine affects brain develop-ment in kids and teens. This can make it harder to learn and concentrate. Some of the brain changes are permanent and can affect mood and impulse control later in life. Use of other tobacco products: Studies show that vaping makes it more likely that someone will try other tobacco products, like regular cigarettes, cigars, hookahs, and smokeless tobacco. Toxins (poisons): The vapor made from e-cigarettes is not made of water. The vapor contains harmful chemicals and very fine particles that are inhaled into the lungs and exhaled into the environment.

How Can Parents Help? To help kids understand the risks of vaping and take control of their health, you can:

Help your child look into local programs and websites that help people quit vap-ing. Your health care provider can help you and your child find the right sup-port.

Lend your support as your teen tries to quit.

Set a good example by taking care of your own health. If you smoke or vape, make the commitment to quit.

Talk to your kids about the reports of serious lung damage, and even deaths, in people who vape. Call your doctor right away if your child or teen vapes and has:

coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain

nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea tiredness, fever, or weight loss

Band Features QUEEN at Homecoming

Be sure to catch the band halftime show at the Homecoming football game on Friday, October 4. Band students (Grades 7-12) will meet in the band room at 7:15PM in their V-neck and jeans for the show.

Frozen Pies are Back!!

Back by popular demand, the band and choir stu-dents are selling Edwards Pies again this year! All profits from this fundraiser go to students, depos-ited into an individual account set up for use to-wards music trips and activities. The more a stu-dent sells, the more he or she is able to put to-wards the price of a future music trip. It is only to the students’ advantage to sell big! So...if you’re looking for an easy dessert to bring to a Packer party or for Thanksgiving this year, here’s a great way to satisfy your appetite and help a band/choir student raise money for their music activities. Pies will be picked up and delivered by students on November 14. Help support our music kids! Look for a band/choir student and place your or-der October 7-21!

Choir Presents Fall Concert

The choirs (Grades 6-12) will feature I Have a Voice, the theme of this year's Fall Choir Con-cert. Students in Middle and High School choirs will perform songs around the idea of how and when we use our voices. Students have connect-ed to music with historical content to the pure joy of using our voices in song. Join us for this first concert on Monday, October 21 at 7:00PM in the High School Gymnasium.

Children who study music are more likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education. Students learn how to cooperate, share, compromise, be creative, and concentrate—skills that are invaluable in school and in life; skills necessary to face challenges, build social skills, and form friendships.
