LETTER FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS

Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

Welcome to November!It was amazing seeing all of you at parent-teacher con-ferences last month. Your support of your students is one of the greatest gifts you can give. Students who have parents who are connected to the school and show in-terest in their child’s education are more successful in school and further their education. Please continue to help your student with homework. Please ask questions of the teachers and administrators about how we are helping your student grow. Through this partnership, we will make Dalton students the highest achieving students they can be.

We had a great “Book Character Parade” on October 30th. Thank you parents/guardians for all the assistance you gave your child. The kids had fun and those that came to see the parade had a great time. We had stu-dents and staff members dressed as characters from Pete The Cat to Warrior Cats. Reading is such an important part of our lives and Dalton students proved they are readers. This is just an example of how our parents sup-port Dalton!

Just as all months, November is an important month aca-demically. It is very important to have our students at school on time every day. All students attended our first quarter “Attendance Assembly”. During this assembly, Mrs. Gustafson, a kindergarten teacher and Dalton El-ementary Alumni spoke to students about how attending school every day and working hard helped her to be the person she is today. Students who had “perfect at-tendance” for the quarter were given a certificate, back-pack dog tags and a free meal certificate for being at school on time every day of first quarter. We will have another assembly on December 17th to recognize all students who had perfect attendance 2nd quarter.

As a reminder, if your child is absent from school, please call our attendance line at 303-326-1611. We would like a note when your child has an appointment so we may excuse the absence. If your child is ill and you are not sure if your child should be at school, please bring them to school and the health para will check your child to determine if he/she should stay or return home with you. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to visit Dalton and we will be happy to assist you. We truly appreciate your partnership in the education of your child.

Bonnie Hargrove Jan MockPrincipal Assistant Principal

VISITORS TO DALTON – REMINDER!

For the safety and security of our students at Dalton, all parents and visitors must first check in at the main office. You will be asked to sign in and receive a visitor’s badge while on school property. This policy applies to ALL VISI-TORS, any time of the day, including lunch and recess times. Visitors who are not displaying a visitor’s badge will be asked to return to the office to sign in. Do not forget to come back to the office and sign out prior to leaving the school building. We thank you for understanding and supporting our efforts to make our building safe and secure for all.

DRESS FOR THE WEATHER

With colder days approaching, it is important that students come to school with appropriate clothing. On most days, students will be outside in the morning before school and during lunch recess time. As a general rule, students will be outside if the temperature is 20 degrees or above, including wind chill and considering rain and snow conditions. Hat, gloves, scarves, and boots will help students stay warm and healthy this winter. Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.

WHEN IS A CHILD TOO SICK FOR SCHOOL?

It is sometimes difficult to decide when to keep children home due to illness. We are sharing these guidelines to decrease the spread of illness and to as-sure every child is well enough to benefit from school. If your child has the following symptoms, your child should remain at home. If your child becomes ill at school, we will call you to discuss symptoms observed at school and potential need to take him/her home.

1. Temperature above 100 degrees.2. Strep throat, unless a child has been on antibiotics for 24 hours.3. Vomiting and/or diarrhea.4. A respiratory infection that causes the child to cough constantly or to

have yellowish or green discharge from the nose.5. Any illness that causes a child to be too sleepy or makes him feel too bad

to continue with his normal school activities.6. Rash or skin lesions not diagnosed or being treated by a health care

provider.7. Lice or nits until appropriately treated.8. Contagious disease such as chicken pox (until lesions no longer draining

and no fever present).

The school district is required by Colorado State law to have a form signed by the parents and the physician of a student before medications can be ad-ministered at school. For over-the-counter medications, an original package, labeled with the student’s name, dosage and circumstances for administration is required. For prescription medications, a pharmacy labeled container is required with the student’s name, name of the medication, dosage, time to be administered and name of physician. For safety reasons parents need to bring the medication directly to the school health para.

Thank you for continuing to communicate with the school health para and teachers regarding your child’s medication condition. It is helpful to know about current illnesses as well as any changes in medication, surgical pro-cedures, or evaluations done that can help us care for your child during school.

CAFETERIA CONTEST

We would like students to help decorate the cafetería for Thanksgiving. Students can either color, draw or make a Turkey and turn it into cafeteria. Winners will be selected for prizes! Lucky Tray Day is on November 30th.

P.T.S.O. PARENT TEACHER STUDENT ORGANIZATION

Butter Braids Fundraiser Dates:October 19-November 9, 2015Delivery will be on November 17, 2015

COMMUNITY CORPS LIAISON NEWS

The Community Corps Liaison team would like to thank all of our volunteers who have been helping teachers with classroom work, with lunch and recess duty as well as all of you who helped with the Scholastic Book Fair. Your help adds value to our children’s education! Thank you for submitting your hours and helping us track them and for investing in the lives of the children here at Dalton.

CLASSROOM NEWS

Preschool – Mrs. Dansby & Ms. GrajedaIn November, Preschool will be working on our Transportation Theme. The children will learn about all the different forms of transportation people use to travel. This will include Air, Water and Land transporta-tion. They will do some activities involving wheels and ramps. Explor-ing how they can make a wheel go faster or slower. They will make boats to sail and explore why things “Sink or Float” at the science ta-ble. They will make construction paper cars and make roads for them to drive on. We will be talking about Thanksgiving, family celebrations and what it means to be Thankful.

Parent/Teacher conferences will be Wednesday, November 4th and Wednesday, November 11th. A sign-up sheet will be provided.

Kindergarten – Mrs. Eyers, Mrs. Franzen, Mrs. Gustafson & Ms. MantourliasHappy Autumn Kindergarten Families!Thank you for coming to our Fall Conferences. We enjoyed getting the opportunity to discuss your child with you. Please check your child’s backpack for information about the Dalton Take Home Books in the next couple of weeks. These books will be considered homework and will help your child become a fluent reader. Please continue to work on letter sounds and letter formation to help continue the writing pro-gression. We appreciate everything you do to help your child come to school ready to learn. Keep up the great work!

First Grade – Mrs. Martinez, Ms. Shudick, Mrs. Taylor & Mrs. TurnerWe are now writing informational pieces! Please help brainstorm top-ics where your child is an expert. This means that they can think of sev-eral important facts about this topic. We use our fingers to count how many facts we know about a topic. We share this with our facts with each other as part of our plan and then write. When writing, we want to “grab” the reader’s attention in the introduction, provide facts in an organized manner, and have an ending that restates the topic.

As we learn new skills (phonics), students are expected to apply their new learning into their reading and writing. For example, we have learned about adding or changing the beginning or end of a word to make a new word. Another great skill is to read and hear words with a consonant digraph at the beginning or end of a word. Ex. She Fish Chair Match

Students will continue developing strategies for addition and subtrac-tion within 20. Strategies include; Recognizing groups, counting on, us-ing what you know about number combinations, doubles, doubles +1, doubles-1. In addition, it is important for you to supervise when your child practices writing numerals so that they are forming them correctly. They need to be able to write numerals 0-120 from memory.

We are learning about various types of geographic tools in Social Studies. Our students love maps, globes, and learning how to use them. In addition, we are discussing various environments and how people interact in these environments.

As always, read every night! In addition to our regular homework, students can always read from books you have at home, leveled book bags, and Raz Kids. Thank you for your continued cooperation!

Second Grade – Ms. Bartl, Mrs. Hargreaves, Ms. Pasquariello & Mrs. TaylorIt is hard to believe that November is already here. It has been such a joy to get to know your children and see them grow in 2nd grade. We are all very excited for what November will bring us.

In reading this month the students will be diving deep into text to discover authors purpose and main idea. We will be looking closely at text features such as headings and glossaries to help us clarify the text. Lastly, the students will work on using the context clues to help them identify the meaning of new words.

Writing in November is going to be so much fun. We will be finish-ing up our informational text and beginning a fictional narrative piece. The students will focus on adding details, catchy openings and transition words.

In math we will begin our unit on shapes, blocks and symmetry. Students will investigate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. They will look closely at the similarities and differences between each shape. Along with shapes we will be looking at symmetry and creating our own symmetrical objects.

It is finally time for science! We will kick off our science study with a unit about plants. Students will investigate grass and grain seeds to see how they grow. They will be experimenting to discover what conditions the seeds will grow best.

November is going to be a great month. As always we can’t wait to see how much the students will learn and grow. Third Grade – Mrs. Benitez, Mrs. Kohl & Ms. NewellI hope all of you enjoyed your Fall Break with your family. This month will fly by considering we have Thanksgiving Break to look forward to. In reading this month, we will be covering nonfiction and fiction text. Our focus in the classroom is asking and answer-ing questions. We use the strategy, close reading to allow students to dig deeper into to the text. Close reading is when students re-read the text several times to find evidence from the text to support their answers.

Writing, this month, is about how to write like an expert about a topic. Students will research a topic then write multiple para-graphs about their subject. This is a very creative time for them to write because they will be teaching topics to the class.

During math, students will be covering division and multiplication within 100. So if you have a few minutes, create multiplication cards for your child to practice their multiplication facts. Later on, in the quarter we will be studying equivalent fractions and comparing fractions. Fractions can be tricky, so talk to your kids about how pizza is cut up into 8 equal parts. Kids love pizza and talking to their parents!

Fourth Grade – Ms. McCallum, Mr. Sherry & Mrs. SmithHappy November fourth grade! Our writing block is heading into persuasive/opinion writing. We will be working on developing well supported multi-paragraph essays. In reading we will con-tinue to look at story elements, focusing on a variety of genres. Math will continue our study of multiplication, please help your child learn the facts, it will really help them this year! We will also be starting fractions and decimals in the coming months. Science will begin a unit of environments, looking at animal classifications, fossils, and environments. We will continue our study of Colorado history and geography in social studies, focusing more on geo-graphic tools and early history. Students are responsible for their daily homework, planners, and at least 30 minutes of reading per night. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Fifth Grade – Mrs. Holzheimer, Ms. Samora & Mr. TuellWe’ve had a great start to the second quarter in fifth grade. With our last quarter’s science unit having focused on weather, it has been interesting to hear students commenting on changes they notice as we are entering these colder months. In fact, students are in the midst of completing writing projects based on their research of weather phenomena. They will continue this quarter develop-ing research strategies to support their writing about the Age of Exploration in Social Studies. In math, we will be focusing on units in geometry determining area and volume, as well as multiplica-tion and division of fractions. Students are very excited about get-ting back into “the laboratory” with our upcoming science unit focusing on mixtures and solutions. November also brings our first field trip with a visit to the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Boettcher Concert Hall. As you can see, we have a busy month ahead. Please continue to encourage students to use their plan-ners to organize school work and schedules.

Art – Mrs. Andrews For the Month of November students are working on projects us-ing the symbol of poppies. Students are exploring the different meanings for the poppy and their use. While experimenting with different art techniques from various cultures.

Music – Ms. Denning 5th graders tested playing a melodic pattern for our final sea shantey, “Oh Shanendoah” and wrote our own shantey called “A Fish in the Sea”.

4th graders reviewed RONDO form – putting several different sections of music together with one common theme, or A music. Our Monster Rondo used “The Slithermagee”, a song based off the poem by Shel Silverstein and then added in the subsequent B-C-D-E-F parts. We also created ‘Candy Corn Compositions’ writ-ing rhythms using candy corn.

3rd graders learned about RONDO form – putting several differ-ent sections of music together with one common theme, or A mu-sic. Our Monster Rondo used “The Slithermagee”, a song based off the poem by Shel Silverstein.

2nd graders have been practicing singing and the chore-ography for our four military songs: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. Our program is scheduled for Wednesday, No-vember 12 at 9:00 NOT 1:30. That was an accidental typo in the letter home. Please support your child in prac-ticing from the song sheets at home when you can and thank you!

1st graders are reviewing how to safely and correctly move our bodies to a Steady Beat. We put the ‘beat on our bones’ when playing “Shake Them Skeleton Bones” and pass a pumpkin to the Steady Beat on “Ten Little Pump-kins on a Hill”. We also explored how rhythm instruments help tell a story using drums, triangles, giggle sticks, rhythm sticks and tambourines for The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Megan Loyd (https://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=5fvUFo-Y0ZM)

Kindergarteners continue to recognize A and B music when playing “Shake Them Skeleton Bones”. We also explored how rhythm instruments can help tell a story when listening to and dramatizing Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnV4ImCAEtY)

Choir – Our winter concert Is scheduled for Thursday, De-cember 10. 1:30 for Dalton students, 6:00 pm for par-ents/family. Please encourage your students to practice at home all the lyrics (words)! I will be making practice CD’s so kids could sing at home.

PE – Mr. Johnson November is the 2nd annual Dalton Elementary food drive for the local families in need. We will be setting up a box in each room with the hopes to fill it up at least once dur-ing the month going all the way up to Thanksgiving break. Then, on the last day of school before fall break, Novem-ber 24th, we will also be having our 2nd annual Turkey Trot here at Dalton. All family members are welcome to come and walk a mile on the Dalton campus with their child and their child’s grade during their specials time. Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

TARDINESS: IT HURTS STUDENTS

OK! You think it is a bit over the top, but it can feel this way when teachers or school principals seemingly overreact to your child being late. What’s the big fuss? So what if my child is a few minutes late? His/her grades are fine, and he/she isn’t a behavior problem. Why does the school get so upset?

Let’s take a look at things from several different points of view:

TEACHERFrom the outside, a teacher’s job may look easy. All he/she has to do is explain a concept, assign some homework, collect and grade it and then successful teaching has happened. In reality, the job is much more compli-cated. A large part of what a teacher does is classroom management. This involves keeping the schedule running smoothly, working with the entire class, small groups of students and individual students. The teacher also handles problems that crop up and must keep all students in the class engaged in learning – reading, writing, math, science, social studies, ELD and ALD. All of these involve teacher instructing, re-teaching, regrouping and monitoring the students to be sure they understand the work they are doing.

When a child enters the classroom late, even just a few minutes late he or she disrupts the process. The teacher has to stop and bring the tardy child up to speed on what the class is doing. The teacher must notify the office to make sure the child is not counted absent and the cafeteria to be sure the student will have school lunch. The students who arrived on time must also stop their learning due to the disruption on the tardy student. Many times it is not one tardy student it is several students and every time the learning of students stops.

CLASSYou wouldn’t think learning was so much work either. We don’t always remember what it was like to pay attention as a kid. Many children who struggle staying focused find it difficult to get back on track after a dis-traction. When a child comes late and the teacher has to restart the les-son or take care of attendance and lunch details, an opportunity arises for behavior issues. When that happens, a small disturbance can set off behaviors that further disrupt the class. Keep in mind that your child may not be the only student who is late, so this process of disruption can occur many times during the course of the week. When families are chronically late, this fosters an attitude that school and learning are not important. This seemingly little thing can have a big influence on the behavior and attitude of students over time.

DALTON MOVEMENT TEAM

Congratulations to the Dalton Movement Team who was invited to perform at the City of Aurora’s Fall Fest back on October 17th. Our students did a wonderful job! We are so proud of them!

TARDINESS (continued)

SCHOOLLate arrivals also disrupt the school. The assembly area and school office are especially busy during the first part of the morning. Accurate attendance is important to a safe and organized school day.

YOUR CHILDThe student who arrives late to school starts the day at a disadvantage. Other children have had time to put away coats, take care of class-room routines, talk with friends, and generally prepare themselves for the school day. The time missed may only be a few minutes, but the be-ginning of the day routines and procedures are extremely important to your child. Children who are late may miss important announcements or a fun activity that the teacher has set out to begin the day. While some children adjust to a rocky start, others find it difficult. If your child experiences stress because he/she rushed or because he/she worries what the other students will say, the stress itself interrupts the learning of your child for much of the day.

Chronic tardiness (more than one or two times a month) is more than just being a few minutes late. It is not just about the hassle for teachers and staff, or the stress caused to the child or others. Tardiness isn’t just about what a child is not learning in the few minutes of class time missed. It is about what a child is not learning about learning itself.

Learning is not just about picking up new information. It is an active process that involves the child’s attention, intelligence and personality. Chil-dren possessing the ability to self-regulate are far more likely to be successful in school and life, regardless of intelligence level. Self-regulation is the ability to plan ahead, evaluate strategies, regulate emotions and behaviors, and delay gratification for the purpose of learning. Children who self-regulate can think “on purpose” toward the learning goal of learning. The ability to be prompt is an active part of learning, just as knowing when to ask questions for clarification, writing down assignments, or finishing a project.

Missing a few minutes of school, every so often, is only part of the tardiness problem. The problem is not in the incident itself. It is in the pat-tern of tardiness over time. Arriving at school late on a regular, or even semi-regular basis, teaches a child that school is something we just plod through rather than something we do with care and purpose. If a child is born with the natural ability to so something – for instance, play football, basketball, soccer, tennis etc… but does not learn to work hard, set goals, evaluate progress, and think purposely, the gift will be wasted.

When you set promptness as a priority and make changes in the family routine to allow your child to arrive at school on time and ready to learn, you teach your child to respect learning and to take an active part in it. Learning will be part of every future test your child takes and every future project your child completes. In fact, the ability to self-regulate is a stronger predictor of future success than natural talent or IQ. It is hard to believe that something as seemingly insignificant as promptness can have such a great effect on your child’s future.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR IN SCHOOL

Here at Dalton we are focusing on Positive Behavior in School. Our school expectations are BE COURTEOUS, THINK SAFETY, and BE RESPONSIBLE. Students can earn a Paw ticket if they ‘get caught’ showing good behavior that follows our school rules. Parents can reinforce these expectations at home. Included in this newsletter is a Paw ticket for parents to fill out for their student when they ‘get caught’ showing these good behaviors at home. Then just cut it out and send it to school with your student. Tickets are collected in a jar by the main office.
