Parent/Student Lunch, Where in NES am I?

December 17, 2010 Volume 1, Issue 8

The N.E.S. Newt-paper Newbury Elementary School Newsletter

Dear NES Community,

December is quickly coming to an end, and I was reflecting on recent events happening around the school. Teachers have recently held data meetings to look at the progress of our students on common assessments, our musicians performed at the Holiday Concert, Theater Workshop presented The Woodbridge Carol, we held a cof-fee with parents, and invited parents to have lunch with the students. There is always so much going on here each day.

Our attention as an entire staff has been on balance—how

do we balance work and play, high level learning with opportuni-ties for celebration and community building? Looking at Decem-ber on the whole there seems to have been a nice balance of hard work and celebration.

The School Council has produced a School Improvement Plan and Budget Re-

quest that also reflect this attention to balance and focus on two goals: Establishing the conditions for a School Climate and School Culture that

promote social emotional well-being and the attainment of the highest lev-els of student learning

Increasing Technology Integration into the classrooms and promoting 21st Century Thinking Skills for student success in a global economy

We have been discussing thinking skills and what the Partnership for 21st Cen-

tury Skills identifies as the four Cs: critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation. The School Council is working together with the goal of ensuring that all Newbury Elementary School students are being chal-

lenged to think deeply and critically while also feeling supported and that their lives have a sense of balance. The School Council is looking into the possibility of hosting a screening of the film Race to Nowhere to promote conversation about this notion of balance. Information about this film and a trailer can be found at http://www.racetonowhere.com/ Feel free to let us know your thoughts on the message of the film and if you would be interested in attending a screening and discussion.

On behalf of the entire NES staff, we wish you and your families a very happy, healthy and balanced holiday season!

Michael Tracy, Principal

Parent/Student Lunch

What a success!

A grateful thank you to all the parents and families that joined us for our first Parent/Student lunch event! We had a turn out of around 100 family members join our NES students during their recess/lunch block on Thurs-day, Jan 16th. Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, and younger siblings were spotted playing football, wall ball, kickball, playing on the jungle gym, jumping rope and playing tag! After recess family mem-bers joined our NES students for lunch. We learned that eating spaghetti with a spork was a challenge, and heard great conversations at the lunch tables.

Thank you to our NES community for your continued support!

Kindergarten and First grade Physical Education students continue to use general and personal space in a variety of ways. Fitness concepts are still being introduced in the forms of games and activities. "Beanie Baby Rescue" required students to use large muscle groups, especially upper body and back, to collect and then tally up the total number of beanie toys retrieved. Hula Hoops provided a manipulative challenge and an opportunity to play cooperative games such as "Everybody It" and Cooperative Musical Hoops. Second grade children continue to work on fitness concepts in a more structured approach, fine tune

manipulative skills with hula hoops, and striking skills in the game activity "Home Run Derby." Grades 3 through 6 have been jogging/walking for 6 minutes and increasing the number of pushups and stomach crunches performed. The game activity "Scooter Scramble" provided a great deal of upper body strength work. Goal tending skills were practiced in the game "Air Raid" and the last unit was spent in a cooperative game activity pulled from the Project Adventure program title "Flying Nuggets." The class was divided into two groups and each group needed to help and support the other in order to accomplish the class goal.

Sixth grade geography students just finished individual projects on Europe. Each student conducted research in the media center. Their information was organized into booklets based on the five themes of geography. Students are practicing their presentation techniques dur-ing class, while they share their information with their peers. The stu-dents enjoy learning from each other and are doing a great job with taking notes! Come see the projects that are on display in the sixth grade wing. If you have a joyful holiday season, perhaps you should thank a sixth grade scientist! The North Pole Bureau of Investigations contacted us to rescue the holidays this year. Some little elves got into baking sup-

plies in Mrs. Claus' kitchen. Students were able to apply what they know about properties of mat-ter while testing various substances and mixtures that were sent to us for solving the mystery of "Case #1225!" The mystery was solved during our science labs, and Mrs. Claus is now finishing up her baking with the right mixture of ingredients. Santa will be delivering baked treats to children all over the world. Happy Holidays to all!

6th grade Science & Social Studies

Grade 5 has been very busy this holiday season. On Wednesday, December 8th we all went to Boston to see the Children’s Theatre production, A Child’s Christmas in Wales starring our very own Adam Freeman. Thank you to the PTA for their contribution. Congratulations to Mrs. Peterson and our stu-dents for another phenomenal NES Winter concert. Our fifth and sixth grade parents raved about the show! Thursday we had a number of students join Mr. Williams as Scrooge in The Woodbridge Carol. Ben Hall, Alison Somers, Vanessa Romaides, Isabelle Steeves, Juliet Truesdale, Katie MacDonald,

Parker Hoover, Chris Brennan, Lila Roy, Emily Wood, Megan Volpone, Ella Faria, Finlay McIsaac, Sofia DeSimone. Have you heard the great news? Our NES PTA has purchased a Smart-board to be housed in Mrs. Lucy’s classroom. We all look forward to utiliz-ing the Smartboard for all types of activities. THANK YOU PTA!!! In ELA we have been diving into author’s purpose, figurative language, and plot through anthologies around the theme of danger and suspense! We have also been collaborating with Kathleen Corcoran of Historic New Eng-

land for an upcoming ‘In Search of a Story/ ELA Program/ Social Studies’. We plan to use our Historic New England Days to lead into a visit to SPLF in the spring. Students will be able to explore diaries, maps, letters, portraits, rooms, and artifacts left by two American families while challenging students to let their imaginations meet history. Our science students have created and presented energy pyramids re-lated to various ecosystems around the globe using resources bor-rowed from Laurie Collins at Newbury Town Library. As you walk through the library be sure to take a look at some of our energy pyra-mids on display. Just in time for the winter chill, we will soon be learn-ing about weather and the water cycle. In math we are in the middle of a unit called “What’s That Portion?”. This unit focuses on understanding, comparing, and solving problems with fractions and percents. This unit develops ideas about representing the meaning of fractions and percents and the relationships among them: comparisons and equivalents of fractions and percents; as well as adding and subtracting fractions. The founding of the European colonies has been our focus in social studies. We’ve looked at the de-velopment of the colonies of New Spain, New France, New Netherlands, and the New England colo-nies. For the week and a half leading up to the holiday break, we will be trying our hand in the writing of non-fiction. We will be practicing with paragraph templates and the use of details to support our thesis statements. Coming up is the study of the New England colonies. We really start to see the important role our state of Massachusetts played in the development of this new nation. Have a wonderful holiday break everyone!

Grade 5 News

by Mrs. Merluzzi In the art room December is a crazy, busy and exciting time of year. We have been preparing for the Holi-days as well as for the winter season. It seems like just yesterday we were working on Jack-O-Lanterns and Autumn Trees. We are now finishing up an assortment of wintery lessons. Kindergarteners have been building snowmen. First we painted them and now we are adding all sorts of cut paper details. Real fabric scarves will be the finishing touch! First grade students have designed matching mittens by coloring patterns. They cut them out and mounted them on sparkling snowballs. Children in grade two have learned about the color wheel. They have learned about primary colors and are experts at mixing them to make the secondary colors. They used their new skill to paint bowls of fruit. Third graders have made the hallways very festive with construction paper Poinsettia Flowers in decorated pots. The patterns on the pots are detailed and colored in beautifully. Kids in the fourth grade learned about the development of written language. They designed mysterious symbols and drew them on a clay “stone”. They added a strip of leather and some beads. The amulet can be worn as necklace or can hang on the wall. Some fourth grade classes were taught to make amazingly detailed snowflakes. The delicate paper snowflakes are hanging in the hallways. The children in fifth grade have been making creatures by cutting, bending, folding and gluing paper to card-board canisters. The canisters can be stacked to make a totem pole. I am amazed at the creativity and originality of these figures. Come see for yourself! They are on display.

Students in the sixth grade have been working on “stained glass” window decorations. They cut complicated line designs from construction paper and then glued tissue paper in the openings. This work is now on display in the lobby. As always I am honored to work with the young artists at Newbury Elementary. The en-ergy and creativity they bring with them to each class is contagious. The art room is the one place in the building where there is no such thing as the RIGHT or WRONG answer!

“In addition to giving our children the science and math skills they need to compete in the new global con-text, we should also encourage the ability to think creatively that comes from a meaningful arts educa-tion.”—BarackObama.com

In 4th grade technology at NES we have combined tech skills with the science curriculum about soil, weathering, erosion, and the social studies curriculum to find examples of erosion and weathering in natural landmarks, like The Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls. The result: a fabulous Power Point slide show of exam-ples of our national landmarks and great examples of weathering and erosion from our coastlines locally, to the mountains covered in glaciers in Canada, to the wind eroded arches of the southwest of our country. It was a spectacular show and learning experience. 5th and 6th grades have been using their Excel skills to find out exactly how many gifts were given in the song, The 12 days of Christmas (364 to be exact).

2nd grades have been using the pattern blocks program, which dovetails with their math curriculum, to solve bilateral symmetry puzzles—not as easy as it looks! The kindergarten and 1st grades have been learning about a shape that is everywhere in nature, the spiral, is also a great tree decoration when you use computer tools to make patterns on it.

3rd grades are still typing and making decorative tiles using all kinds of symmetry from an interactive site that was launched from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. There are a wealth of good holiday games on my website. (Click on the very first page and scroll down a bit to find them.) http://www.eraycroft.homestead.com

6th grade ELA students are finishing reading books Touching Spirit Bear and White Fang. The focus with the books were group discussions and essay writing. Students recently finished writing Tall Tales and shared them with each other. We are currently reading myths. In the process, students are taking notes on various mythological people and creatures. They will then create their own mythological person and write a creative story. In the story, they will use their character as a main character and include real mythological people, creatures, and places to de-velop the story. Students also are writing poems. We recently read poems with the theme of night, darkness, and the cold. Their goal is to write poems that focus on a similar theme. They need to try to use simile, personification, hyperbole, alliteration, and other literary devices. Students will write, present, and illustrate their completed poem. The poem will be included in their poetry book which will be shared at Poetry Night at the end of the school year.

MUSIC WITH MRS. PETERSON In 5th and 6th grade we have had a busy time from Halloween through December diligently practicing for our upcoming concerts. The Choir performed at the Tree Lighting ceremony which was held on December 5th on the Newbury Green. On Tuesday, December 7th, the Chorus and Choir performed in the annual winter concert. All our hard work paid off, and the boys and girls did a wonderful job. Also, some of our classroom time was devoted to playing Orff instruments,

singing, and drumming on tubanos. In the 4th grade we watched a video about the world famous Vienna Boys Choir and then discussed excellent vocal production and good singing habits. We also danced and sang a folk song from Ireland and played a stick passing game from Sweden. In 3rd grade we are progressing with our recorders. Many children have received their yellow belts for successfully playing Jingle Bells. The next belt to receive is the orange belt and Jolly Old St. Nicholas is the song the children need to play to receive this belt. Everyone should be practicing about five nights a week for a few minutes each day.

In 2nd grade we have danced to two American folk tunes, played unpitched percussion in-struments while reading rhythms, learned about the string family of the orchestra, and had fun learning some new Thanksgiving songs. In 1st grade we have learned about the word tempo (the speed of the beat), danced to the Highland Gates while singing, played unpitched percussion instruments while reading rhythms, sang and danced to game “Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow” and enjoyed Thanksgiving songs. In kindergarten we’ve played guessing games with musical instruments, sang many new songs, went on a “Bear Hunt”, started singing patriotic songs, and enjoyed Thanksgiving songs with the huge gathering drum and bells. All the grades are now enjoying Christmas caroling along with other winter and Hanukkah songs. For the beginner 4th grade instrumentalists that I teach, (flutes, clarinets and trumpets), I’d like to compliment everyone with their progress. Many students are close to receiving their first white belt which will proudly be displayed on their instrument case. If a student has been faithfully practicing and has received 5 stickers on the practice chart, then they will also be given a bead to hang on their white belt. Every student should now have a new music folder and all materials can be organized in this folder. Please remember your instrument and folder on lesson day and don’t forget to practice!

During math classes students have been exploring the connection between fractions, decimals, and percents. We are also practicing our algebra skills in setting up proportions and equations while problem solving. For example, ask your sixth grader how they might solve this:

A train travels 350 miles in 4 hours. At this rate, how long will it take to travel 1,000

miles?

Please check our hallway bulletin board for a display of some “Seasonal Solutions” to a couple of open ended problems students have recently investigated (and a special thanks to Mrs. Lops for

creating this display). I would also like to thank the following parents for volun-teering to help students with their math projects during our Tuesday flex block at 2:15 pm: Mr. Rybicki, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. True, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Cut-ter, and Mrs. Papanicolaou. If you are interested in volun-teering, please contact me at achiasson@trsd.net; with your availability.

Need help with book selection for your children…. America’s #1 storyteller, James Patterson, has joined forces with First Book (an organiza-

tion that works to get kids their first book) and acclaimed children’s literature expert Judy Free-man to start ReadKiddoRead.com - a web site designed to help parents, teachers, and librarians ignite excitement about reading by recommending books carefully chosen for their ability to make kids’ mouths water.

NES PTA would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year!

Please join us for the January 4th, NES PTA meeting, 6:30 NES Library. Triton School Committee members will be speaking about the upcoming budget process, budget calendar and town collaboration.

A group of six graders along with members of the NES Recycling Committee completed a waste audit in the cafeteria on December 1. Now with a better picture of the amount and the type of waste coming from the cafeteria, we will better be able to find alternative uses for trash or ways to reduce the quantity of trash through encouraging changes in purchasing and increas-ing recycling. The data will also allow us to track pro-gress as we talk to the students about waste. Please see the Daily News article about the event www.newburyportnews.com/local/x1199043147/Students-make-lunchtime-pitch-for-the-environment. The sixth graders involved with the waste audit are

working on math projects based on the amount of waste and recycling going on at NES. Their projects and results will be presented at a school-wide assembly (to take place on February 2) to educate students about the results as well as at the NES Family Math Night in Spring 2011. At the assembly, the Recycling Commit-tee members will also reinforce the benefits of single-stream recycling, talk about ways to reduce lunch waste, and announce a lunch waste reduction contest between the grades. After a second waste audit, com-pleted like the first, to evaluate the change in cafeteria waste, the grade level that reduces their cafeteria waste by the most will receive a prize. Stay tuned for more information about the contest and for sugges-tions on how to reduce waste! Please contact Co-Chairs, Tammy Cotter (tammycotter@comcast.net) or Sally Milliken (MillDoo@comcast.net), if you are interested in helping or would like to know more about our activities.

Please remember to bring your instrument and music on the Monday after winter break and please finalize arrangements for getting home. If you are unable to make the rehearsal, please send me a note from your parents OR you can email me at KCarubia@trsd.net Happy Holidays!

Cyber-Bullying: What can parents do? The generation of children today are so tech-savvy, much more than most of their parents. What can parents do to stay informed about student activity on the internet? *Have a common family password—allow your student to use email and other forms of online communication, but require that they share a common password, to allow you ac-cess if there are ever areas of concern. * “Friend” your child—If your child participates in Facebook, Myspace, or any other social networking site, require that they accept you as a “friend.” This will allow you to view any information that they publicly share with other “friends” online. *Talk about it! - We know technology is here to stay—so have open and honest conver-sations with your children, ask them to teach you about it, and share your concerns with them. This may be the best way to PREVENT any online issues that arise! We plan to have upcoming NES events to inform students and parents about safe internet behaviors, so keep your eyes out for more info to come!

Happy networking! ~Mrs. Leonard

Students at NES are participating in the fourth annual holiday greeting card drive to benefit the senior citizens in the Newbury-Byfield area. We anticipate sending out over 550 cards and histori-cally have had a lot of positive feedback from our community. As you may know, there are approximately 1,100 senior citizens in this community, a large portion of which are considered “shut-ins” or are in assisted living situations. As a community service, we hope to delight these “seniors” with some holiday cheer from Newbury’s younger population. Teachers have collected stamps from our students’ families, provided a 1/2 hour or so of creative student time, and stuffed envelopes with cards created by their stu-dents. The Newbury Council on Aging will be handling the ad-dressing and mailing of these holiday notes

On behalf of the Elders in the Town of Newbury, I wish to thank the entire NES community for the donations of food collected and distributed during this Thanksgiving season. We were for-tunate enough to receive 20 beautifully decorated boxes filled with all the staples to create a wonderful meal along with a $10 gift certificate (per box) to purchase a meat item. We are so blessed to have such caring and generous people living in our town who are always looking out for each other and willing to step up when asked. In addition we were given the extra food to add to the food pantry. This was a special bonus. I would like to extend a special thank you to all the students in the school council along with Mr. LaBella and Michelle Walsh. Thanks again. Martie S. Joe Director, Newbury Council on Aging
