Children need to know that we recognize and appreciate their efforts here at school! If a grade is less than you d hoped or expected, make sure you and your child know why it s so, and how you can work with teachers to make it better. Please call or your child s teacher if you d like clarification or help to make improvements.there is still plenty of time left in the school year! Beginning in mid-april, our students in grades 3-5 will take the SBAC tests in Math and English Language Arts. These tests are considered a pilot, replacing the ISAT, and our district has chosen to shorten their length so as to not lose instructional time. More info is included in this newsletter. In late April, students in grades 2-5 will take the MAP test in Math and Reading. This test gives teachers and parents information about the kind of growth students have made through the school year, and students themselves look forward to meeting their growth goals from Fall to Spring. Last year, Chief Jo students had the second highest growth rate of all 31 elementary schools in the district! Your help is appreciated as you keep track of student testing dates, and let your children know that you want them to take their time and do their best. Ensuring they get a restful night of sleep and have a healthy breakfast also certainly helps! Thank you for helping with homework and reading nightly we see the difference! Best wishes for a fun and relaxing Spring Break! Sincerely, G Hart Gretchen Hart, Principal (hart.gretchen@meridianschools.org) June 4: Last day of school (dismissal 3:50)

2 Attendance Line: Please call our 24-hr automated Attendance Line by 9:30 a.m. to notify us when your child(ren) will be absent from school (or late due to an appt). Why Study Music? Elementary age children who are involved in music lessons show greater brain development and memory improvement within a year than children who receive no musical training. Roaring Readers Reading Charts are due to teachers when we return from Spring Break. Check with your child s teacher for exact due date. Late submissions will not be accepted. WHY DOES AN ARTS EDUCATION MATTER? Arts Education is just the Beginning The arts provide an important avenue where children can develop a passion for learning. Many children discover their talents and interest through the arts and are inspired to pursue careers in artistic fields.

10 Reading at Home Ideas Everyday Reading Comprehension Activities for Parents and Kids Reading comprehension helps children in all school subjects, gives them an advantage in standardized tests and can turn them into lifelong lovers of literature Parents and their children can do some fun reading comprehension activities at home to help improve their language and reading skills. Here are some everyday reading comprehension activities for you to try at home: Read, read, read! Read to your children every day. Make it part of your bedtime routine, an after-dinner activity, or a fun way to spend time together on the couch. Set a good example by letting your children see you read. Show them that reading is a good choice for leisure activity and sure beats watching TV. Talk about the book you're reading. Listening to you summarize your book teaches your children how to take what they've read, absorb it and condense it. Use pre-reading comprehension techniques. Before reading a book, have your child look at the cover and the inside pictures and predict what the story is about. Read books together and discuss. Read to your children every evening. At the end of each chapter, discuss what happened. Parents can still share books with older children by reading the same book separately. Ask your child every day, "Where are you in the book? Did you get to Chapter 5 yet? What do you think about what happened to Harry?" Allowing children to retell a story that they read lets them practice comprehension skills. Play board games with your children. Board games require putting into action everything that is read, and can help increase reading comprehension. Help your children read the instructions to a new board game or review the rules of an old favorite. Ask if they'd like to change the rules or game play slightly and implement their suggestions. Cook or bake with a recipe. Find a lengthy recipe for something that your children love to eat and make it together. Turn over recipe reading duties to your children and watch them take what they've read and turn it into something delicious. Play Hangman. The simple word game is a good way to build your child's vocabulary. It only requires a pencil and paper and can easily be played while waiting in waiting rooms or the car. Use the book club discussion questions in the back of books. Many chapter books include discussion questions for book clubs, which provide good discussion points for at home book talks. Play with inflection. Try this with your young child: Read a line from a book and have your child repeat it back to you with dramatic expression, inflection and phrasing.
