Principal's Corner 
Dear SVE Families,
All students have successfully completed their Fall MAP testing. The students worked extremely hard and I am very proud of them. MAP assessment scores and Mid-terms will be sent home on Wednesday, October 8th. Please contact your child's teacher if you have questions regarding the reports.
I hope to see everyone at our Fall Festival this Saturday, October 4th from 12:00-4:00. We have a variety of games, activities, basket raffles, cake walk and much more! All friends and families are welcome.
Please mark your calendars for our Fall Break. We will not have school on Thursday, October 9th through Monday, October 13th. We hope everyone has a restful, long break.

Literacy Strategy to help your child become a better reader!
SIGHT WORDS
Sight word acquisition is an important building block in the construction of a child's ability to read. Once a child is able to read all of the words on Fry's lists for example, he/she has access to up to 75% of what is printed in almost any piece of children's literature. How exactly do teachers and parents help children develop their storage of sight words? There are several proven techniques that any adult can use to teach sight words. Whichever strategies are employed, the best success is seen when one adult works with a small number of children at a time. The more one-on-one time a child has learning and practicing sight words with an adult, the greater the chance to integrate them into his/her long-term memory.
Teaching Sight Words With Pictures
Many learners think in pictures. Whether we realize it or not, we often visualize what we are attempting to learn to help solidify the information in our memories. Think about the last time you needed to get somewhere you hadn't been before. Even if you used written directions instead of a pictorial map, you probably had a number of visual markers such as unusual sights or signs to help you learn how to get there. Presenting children with illustrations of sight words along with their print versions helps them make important connections between the object and the word. Flashcards or posters with a colorful picture and the word written under it are excellent sight word teaching tools.

Classroom Birthday Treats
Students are permitted to bring birthday treats to share with their classmates. Treats must be purchased at a store. Please make sure treats do not contain nuts or are processed at a facility producing nut products. A few nut-free treat suggestions are ice cream sandwiches, oreos, and rice krispie treats.

All students who are a car rider in the morning must be dropped off in the car rider line. We have had students being dropped off over by the middle school and walking over and this is not safe. If you wish to park and walk your child to the front of the school that is fine. Thank you for your attention to this important matter in keeping our students safe.
