Students in at S-RC Elementary earned 404 PAWS in the month of January! FOUR HUNDRED FOUR PAWS!!! That's just amazing! I'm so proud of each and every one of our students who took the time to stand out and BARK this month. BARK stands for Be Responsible, Active, Respect Others and School, and Keep Safe. Please talk to your child anytime you see them with a PAW and celebrate them with a WooHoo and a high-five!

Each month we draw winners for our PAWSitive behavior incentives. These students have to opportunity to earn a $5.00 gift card to Cubby's!! This month, Clay Scheuth, Haley Micek, and Jayce Mohr each earned a gift card! Way to earn those PAWSitive rewards with your PAWSitive behavior!!

Parent Teacher Conferences are coming! They are scheduled for February 7th from 1:00-7:00. I did email out the sign-up sheet over a week ago, and I thank everyone who has been able to sign up already! We do strive for 100% participation at conferences in the elementary building, so if you were not able to sign up, please take a minute and sign up today! If you need it to be a phone conference because you can not come in, please mark that in your square and your child's teacher will call you during your assigned time! Thank you!!

Hello! I am the Speech Language Pathologist at SRC. As a Speech Language Pathologist and mom, I play with A LOT of toys! I have found that the best toys promote speech and language development. Through the use of these toys kids are offered opportunities to learn new concepts, engage socially, develop play skills, gain independence, expand vocabulary, and build imagination. When playing with a child remember it’s important to talk through all interactions!!!

Here are a few toys that promote language development:

• Bubbles
• Balls
• Farm sets
• Books
• Board games
• Kitchen sets
• Dolls
• Trucks, trains, etc.
• Puzzles
• Craft sets

We will be having our Scholastic Book Fair from February 5th through February 9th! Please stop by and stock up on LOADS of great books for your home library!

Students will also use this opportunity to help teachers build their classroom libraries by donating change to our CHANGE WAR!!! classes will compete to be crowned Change War Champions by bringing the following coins:

Monday, January 31st: Pennies (we collected $100.66!!!)

Tuesday, February 1st: Nickels

Wednesday, February 2nd: Dimes

Thursday, February 3rd: Dimes

Friday, February, 4th: All Loose Change AND.....Dolla, Dolla Bills, Y'all!!!

Hi! We are Girl Scout Troop 58826. At our meetings we have been learning about stereotypes. We know that stereotypes are an idea or belief many people have about a thing or group that is based upon how they look on the outside. We know they are wrong. They are wrong and hurtful because they are inaccurate, hurt feelings, and can limit you if you believe them.

Let's stop stereotypes!

It's so exciting to see the "at home" area continue to grow on IXL! Our K-5 students have MASTERED 11,967 skills are are proficient in 14,044 additional skills! Way to go, students - and thank you parents for continuing to reinforce this practice at home.

To add a little competitive fun here at school, we have our "IXL SUPERSTARS" from each grade level. This means that the student from each grade level who has answered the most questions (correctly) for the week is announced over the intercom, they come down to the office for a prize and have their star put up on the wall with their name and the number of questions they answered. Our wall is filling up quickly!!

Did you know that "DeMo" Adams came to speak to our elementary students to share a message of inspiration, hard work, and dedication. He left our students with three primary messages which are now posted on our walls:

• You get out what you put in.
• You win or lose by how you choose.
• Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Students (and teachers) were very inspired by DeMo's message, and it was a great way to start our second semester! If you are having a hard time at home - you could absolutely mention his name and remind your child of his messages! Hopefully your child will remember him!
