the Principal......

Dear Young Families,

We are very excited to be back at school learning. We have quickly jumped back into the swing of things and we are eager to see how much more we can accomplish and learn this year. In addition, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are diligently preparing for the Illinois State Assessment Test. This school year, 3rd and 5th grade students will be assessed in the areas of reading and math, while 4th grade students will be assessed in the areas of reading, math, and science. ISAT administration will occur from February 28th through March 4th.

We are anxiously awaiting the start of the PTA’s “One Book, One School” program with all Young students and families reading The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School by Candace Fleming. The PTA has worked hard to develop many exciting activities to go along with the chapters in this book. In addition, on Friday, February 18th, author Candace Fleming will visit for an all school assembly with Young students.

Beginning the week of January 10th, all students will participate in curriculum based measurement (CBM) testing in the areas of reading and math. CBMs are one of the ways that we review and monitor our students’ performance and growth. Teachers use the information from the Benchmarks to plan their instruction for all students.

The first semester ends on January 13th. Report Cards will go home with students on January 21st. On January 28th, updated reading and math curriculum based measurement (CBM) information will be sent home with students. The box and whiskers chart will indicate your child’s winter CBM performance in relationship to grade level students across the district.

On January 31st we are thrilled to have the Muntu Dance Theater perform at an all school assembly at 9:30 am. The Chicago-based Muntu Dance Theatre performs authentic and progressive interpretations of contemporary and ancient African and African-American dance and music. Additional information about the Muntu Dance Theater can be found on their website: http://www.muntu.com/index.html.

Kindergarten 2011-2012The office is collecting information about incoming kindergarten students for the 2011-2012 school year. If you, a neighbor, or a friend, has a child in the Young attendance area who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2011 (as required by Illinois State Law), please contact the school office at 375-3800 to provide us with your child’s information (information sheet provided on the next page of this newsletter).

The 2011 Kindergarten Information Night will be held at Young Elementary School on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 7:00 pm.

Inclement Weather InformationWith our return back to school, I would like to remind everyone of several important items in reference to the winter weather:

• Students go outside for recess everyday unless the temperature is 5° Fahrenheit or below (This temperature reading includes the wind chill factor). Please make sure that students are properly attired with a hat, gloves, and appropriate weight coat. Students must have boots and snow pants if they want to play on the field and playground when there is snow on the ground. Children without boots and snow pants must remain on the blacktop when there is snow on the field and the playground.

• During the cold weather months, traffic in the parent pick-up zone increases. Please review the traffic procedures in the Car Pick-up Line and be sure to follow the directions of staff. The parent pick-up/drop-off line is the safest way to drop-off and pick-up students. Please be patient as you navigate through the line. Please remember that cars are not allowed in the front circle drive between 8:45-9:05a.m. and 3:15-3:45p.m. due to the loading and unloading of students on busses.

A lot of great things are happening at Young school. Your continued participation and support is greatly appreciated. Please know that we value your role in working to help your child achieve high academic standards. A strong partnership and a positive relationship between home and school are key components of a child’s educational success. As always, our goal is to build and maintain a strong home-school partnership as together we share in the responsibility of supporting your child’s learning. Thank you for your support and involvement in your child’s education.

Sincerely,Ms. Morgan

ONE BOOK / ONE SCHOOLThe NYE PTA is excited to present our first One Book/One School event. This is a program where our entire school community will read the same book simultaneously—parents to children, older children to the family, and school staff to spouses. The program is designed to create a school-wide "buzz" about books.

The PTA will be providing every family with the book titled The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School by Candace Fleming, as well as a bookmark with the reading schedule. On the bookmark, your child(ren) can check off the reading when your family has completed a section. This program will begin on Monday, January 10th and run for 6 weeks, with various activities planned along the way. The premise is that the reading will be done at home as a family to encourage everyone to read. Additionally, podcasts of each chapter, read by different staff members, will be available for listening on the Nancy Young Elementary School website.

Summary of the book: The book is about a group of rambunctious fourth graders that nobody wants to teach, until a new teacher comes along and changes things. Each chapter has a moral based on an actual Aesop Fable.

Reading Schedule: Note: This is just a guide; feel free to take your time or go ahead.Week 1 - Read pages 1-30Week 2 - Read pages 31-66Week 3 - Read pages 67-97Week 4 - Read pages 98-129Week 5 - Read pages 130-162Week 6 - Read pages 163 to the endWeek 7 - Catch up if needed.

Fabled Friday events: During this reading event, we will have “Fabled Fridays,” which will include trivia questions read over the P.A. in the morning, as well as other fun events and prizes.

• Ideal Teacher day (Thursday, January 13 - we are off on Friday) - Be Like Principal Struggles looking for the ideal teacher to teach the 4th grade class and write a “Want Ad” for your ideal teacher. On a sheet of paper think about what he/she would dress like, act, do, teach, etc. Bring this “ad” back to school and one from each grade will be chosen and displayed in our hallway.

• Rose Day (Friday, January 21) - Rose ended up wearing a very eclectic outfit on picture day. Review pages 22-30 in the book and come to school dressed like Rose (ie: wear a cowboy hat, tube socks, silk scarf, bow tie, sunglasses, etc.)

• Fable Day (Friday, January 28) - All the chapters in this book are based on an actual Aesop Fable. With your parent’s permission, visit www.aesopsfables.com or visit the school or public library and read some fables.

• Poem Day (Friday, February 4) - Lillian Ditty is always writing short poems. Write a poem on paper and bring it to school. We will bind them into a book to be kept in the LMC and also make a copy for the author.

• Valentine’s Day (Friday, February 11) - The kids make Mr. Jupiter a Valentine. Make your teacher a Valentine and give it to them.

• Favorite Character Day (Friday, February 18) - Dress up like your favorite character from the book. At school you will receive a label to wear so others know who you are. The AUTHOR WILL VISIT OUR SCHOOL for an assembly that day.

This is going to be a great event and we hope your family enjoys reading together!

If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact Carolyn Fichte at CMBEF@comcast.net or 630-978-4106.
