Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Eisenhower Families,

As we enter into our holiday season, we wish to take a moment to celebrate our successes. We are overjoyed by the amount of growth our students have demonstrated in this first trimester of their academic and social-emotional growth. More importantly, they are learning to be resilient. They are exhibiting outstanding "Growth Mindset" mental attitudes and behaviors. They are learning from their mistakes, while exhibiting grit and perseverance. It's okay if we are not where we want to be just yet. It is more important that we do not give up and that we keep pushing ahead to improve our skills. Success is built upon failures. Achievement comes through hard work, practice, and determination. It is within our belief and practices that we teach the children the "Power of Yet". Believing in and encouraging ourselves and others are two of the most powerful tools that we can impart upon the children. It was wonderful seeing so many of our families at last night's parent-teacher conferences. Our partnership is instrumental in your child's success. Speaking of success, the children will be celebrating the end of our first trimester of learning with a special IKE Path celebration week! We look forward to seeing the other half of our IKE Family at next week's parent-teacher conferences.

Have a Wonderful

Thanksgiving Break!

Century

Book Club

T he Principal's Century Book Club is a listing of children who read multiples of one hundred books during their years at Eisenhower School.

*Books can be read by parents or enjoy a shared reading with your child. Take turns, use voices, and, most importantly, have fun!

Remember to ask plenty of comprehension questions and discuss new vocabulary words!

Your child’s name will be added to the front foyer wall when they read their first one hundred books. Their name continues to be added with each 100 books they read.

Students will also receive a special prize from the office.

B ooks should be at the child’s reading level, and left to parent’s discretion.

Below, is a link to a form that you can download and print.

You may also list the books on a sheet of paper.

Setting aside 20-minutes a night for family reading with or to your child makes a world of difference.
