 Curriculum & Instruction from the Assistant Principals
|
 We will be holding our classroom Spelling Bees for 4th and 5th grade students over the next 2 weeks. The 1st and 2nd place winners from each 4th and 5th grade class will be submitted to our Spelling Bee Coordinator, Mrs. Valerie Munson. They will compete in our local School Spelling Bee competition on Thursday, January 14, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. The local School Spelling Bee will be held in our Media Center. Our third grade classes are currently working on their 3rd grade writing assessment. This  assessment will take place over the next few months. Students are preparing for this assessment daily during their classroom instruction. Teachers will be collecting student writing samples for each student's portfolio through February, 2010. The portfolios will be assessed and student scores will be reported in March, 2010.
For me, writing is exploration; and most of the time, I'm surprised where the journey takes me.

The Scholastic Book Fair is going on in the media center this week. We will open at 7:45 every morning. Only students with parents will be allowed to shop from 7:45 to 8:15 each morning. From 8:15 to 8:45 would also be a great time for parents to shop since students will be engaged in CQI time in their classrooms.
If you are not an early bird, then please come by after school. We will be open until 4:00 on Monday and Thursday, until 5:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we will close early on Friday at 2:00.
The book fair provides our media center with new books, Accelerated Reader tests, audiovisual equipment, supplies, prizes for students and so much more. We appreciate your support! |

| Lunch Notes from Mrs. Hill |
 Gwinnett County School Nutrition Program will be participating in the National Dairy Council's "Fuel up to Play 60".
During the month of November we will track our milk consumption. One school within each level(Elementary, Middle, and High) with the biggest increase in milk sales from October to November will receive Atlanta Falcon tickets for some of their students.
The tickets are for the Falcons vs. the Saints game on Sunday December 13th at 1pm.
So, Got Milk, Get Milk and Drink milk from the Suwanee Cafe' to help our chances.

From the Principal's Desk
child each night can significantly impact their academic achievement and improve many skills. Reading with your child also sends the message that reading is a valuable and rewarding activity.
