“Cultivating Kindness, Relationships, and Growth for all.”
News You Can Use: April 8, 2022
Dear CCGS Families,
We had a great, but chilly first week of April at Circle Center Grade School. This week our third grade students finished up their state IAR testing. I am very proud of their perseverance and growth mindset over the past two weeks. This week while visiting classrooms I observed students measuring items and comparing measurements in second grade. I also had the chance to see some first grade students making words and participating in centers. Our students have sprung into fourth quarter with lots of energy and enthusiasm and we are so excited to see them reaching their goals in reading and writing. We have had so many students reach their weekly goals for Lexia and Dreambox and they are lovong their stickers!
Congratulations to Our March Dreambox Leaders:
Kindergarten: Bryce C., Gunner P., Leo V.,Adeline A., Connor W., Mason K
First Grade: Brennan G., Liam J., Dominic N., Elias B., Aubrey W., Teagan W., Payton M., Noah R
Second Grade: Gavin B., Parker M., Colin G., Asher H., Travis Y., Liam., Xavier S.

Each week I offer a way for you to share a celebration or ask questions on this survey. If you would like a specific reply, please add your name so I can get back to you. If you comment about a specific teacher- I send this directly to them and I know it really brightens their day!

For the first half of our event we are thrilled to be hosting Caron Levis, author of 2022 Monarch nominee This Way, Charlie! This year our elementary students have celebrated this story of friendship & patience between a grumpy goat and blind horse, which is inspired by a true story from the Open Bud Ranch animal sanctuary. So as a special bonus, after Caron finishes her read aloud we will be taking a virtual tour of the Naperville Area Humane Society!
Please see the Zoom information below and the attached flyer for more information. Hope to see you on April 19th! =)

-Next, show your child the correct format for writing an address.
-Let him practice writing his own name and address on ruled paper.
-Have your child copy the names and addresses on the index cards into a blank address book or a small notebook. If you're using a notebook, label the pages alphabetically.
