Sullivan Scoop

April 26, 2019
Hello, Sullivan Families,

We have had a busy few weeks at Sullivan School! IAR testing was completed, and students and teachers jumped back into their regular academic schedule. We have one more test to complete in May, The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). Students in both grades will test on May 7th and May 9th in their classrooms.

As we embark upon the last six weeks of the school year, we still have plenty of learning to do, and many culminating projects and events to look forward to! Please regularly read communications from your child's teacher, as they send regular updates regarding schedule changes and special events. Both grade levels are looking forward to walking field trips to the Prospect Heights Public Library in May, so students can get a jump start on the summer reading program.

Finally, don't forget to register for next year! Wednesday, May 1st is the deadline to register for the 2019-20 school year. If you have not already registered, please do so as soon as possible. No registration fees are due at this time. The registration link is on our website. Contact the Sullivan Office if you need help with registering or have misplaced your snapcode, or if your child will not be returning to District 23 schools next year.

Looking out the window this afternoon, it seems impossible that we are expecting snow tomorrow! Have a wonderful weekend, and stay warm.

Warmly,

Traci Meziere

Earth Week Fun!

Sullivan students have been busy this week participating in the Earth Day challenge organized by our Sullivan Ambassadors. Classes participated in activities by picking up trash on our school property, making informational posters about recycling, conserving energy, and writing and performing Earth Day raps on the announcements.
4th Grade Aspired Assisted Living Visit
Students in Mrs. Stasi's class enjoyed playing bingo and learning about Earth Day with our friends from Aspired Assisted living last week.



Students and Staff Rock the 80's for Spirit Day

Today was our monthly school spirit day, and students and staff enjoyed dressing up in 80's gear to celebrate another month of meeting our behavior expectations of being safe, respectful, and responsible!
Creating and Communicating
Mrs. Mariconda's class enjoyed their delicious Friday cooking lesson. The students learned to make grilled cheese sandwiches, and enjoyed sampling their creations!

Mrs. Ubert's class worked collaboratively to invent their own candy, and designed posters to market their new creations. Students practiced their oral and written communication skills by presenting their inventions to their peers.
Rock Stars of the Week
Each week, two Sullivan students are recognized as the Rock Stars of the Week. These students go above and beyond in demonstrating our school-wide expectations of safe, respectful, and responsible behavior.
Kuba always does his best work, is a kind classmate and follows expectations every day.
Nathaniel is respectful of his classmates and teachers. He is always thinking of others. He is always trying to do and be better.
Jake is a great role model for his classmates. He is respectful to all and is the first one to help get our class to listen up. He's always ready to work, and he does it with a smile on his face.
Kinga is a very responsible learner. She works hard everyday and pushes herself to exceed expectations. Kinga participates daily and is always respectful.
Penelope is always ready to lend a hand and help others. She is responsible and has a great attitude about getting her work done at all times.
Jack is kind to all of his classmates. He always tries his best and has been doing a great job participating in class.
