Meeting or Exceeding Growth Targets
Each morning students are reminded that they come to school to learn and to work hard to meet or exceed their growth targets. Over the next couple of weeks all students will be participating in the mid-year MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) assessments to check how they are progressing toward meeting these targets. Please ask your child how they did on these assessments and encourage them to always try their best!

Artist of the Week
Kyonna Buck
To continue our unit on Indian art, our 4th graders were introduced to the "banyan tree" which originates in India. Throughout this project students learned about negative space, horizon lines and blending similar colors using oil pastels. Kyonna Buck was selected by Mrs. Sperk for her fantastic banyan tree. Kyonna is a 4th grade student in Mrs. Mosure's class. She has been attending Groveport Elementary since third grade. She has two older sisters, Shonna and Kylin. She loves cheerleading, volleyball, reading and doodling. Her favorite drawing material is oil pastels. Congratulations Kyonna for being our Artist of the Week!

Positive Conduct Referrals
At times teachers have to write students up for negative behavior that is beyond what can be handled in the classroom. This year instead of only doing office referrals for negative behaviors, we decide to also include positive write-ups. These Positive Conduct Referrals will be written for students who exhibit good behavior and are a role model to other students. Dylan Burskey and Marley Sheehan were chosen by their kindergarten teacher Mrs. Myers for always trying their best, being responsible and respectful, and coming to school everyday ready to learn! Congratulations Dylan and Marley - Keep it up!!
