MAY 2 0 1 5 From the Principal’s desk . . . The end of the 2014-2015 school year is upon us! The month of May is marked by year end PAARC testing and i-Ready end of year benchmarks. While the state mandated portion of the tests we give have made the news quite a bit this Spring, I have to admit that from an administration standpoint, with the exception of a few hiccups here and there, the process has gone off relatively painlessly. Testing is much more endurable than in years past when the entire process took literally weeks and weeks away from instruction. We have accomplished this last round of PAARC without interrupting the student’s specials schedule. Many thanks to Assistant Principal, Donna Mitchell, for her tireless efforts in coordinating the testing and to our Building Technology Engineer, Mike Unger, for keeping the plethora of technology in the building “PARRC and CMAS ready” for our students. Please join us next week for our spring fundraising event, “Cow Patty Bingo”! The PVA has outdone itself in preparation for this event and it promises to be fun for the whole family! The best part about this family social event is that all funds raised will go directly to benefit our children! Buy your square of turf today for the chance to win $1000 and better yet, come join us as we enjoy the western band, bake sale and all the fun, family friendly activities planned for May 15th. The party starts at 5:00pm and I hope to see you all there! Mark your calendars for Parent University, August 10, 11 & 12th. Come learn more about what we do and how you navigate all the awesome things your children are learning! Wishing you all a wonderful summer, Go Mammoths!!

While it makes for beautiful blooming flowers and the fresh smell of rain, it also brings afternoon storms. Please remember to follow our Lightning Dismissal Protocol (outlined below and taken from the C2E Parent/Student Handbook) when you see the Lightning Flag hanging outside. It is imperative that we keep all our students, parents, and staff safe during this time of year when the weather can be ever changing. When lightning has been spotted in the area, for each child’s safety, C2E follows the Douglas County Lightning Dismissal Procedure: parents are required to walk to the front door and retrieve their children. If you are uncomfortable leaving your vehicle, please park in a designated parking space and wait for the storm to pass. As soon as 30 minutes has passed without lightning being spotted, normal dismissal will resume. A lightning flag (pictured) is posted on the front of the building to inform parents of lightning dismissal. In addition, we will do our best to also post an announcement via the electronic sign. Students who walk home from school will not be dismissed until lightning has not been spotted for 30 minutes. From the Art Room The district art show was a great success! This year Challenge to Excellence had 55 students' artwork in the show. Maria Allen won 2nd place for middle school Mixed Media. Maria's artwork will be on display with the other winners at the Parker Arts Center, May 1st May 11th.

PAGE 9 Kindergarten Newsletter - May 2015 Dear Parents, We have begun the count-down to the last day of school, and as we write this we are noticing that 22 school days remain in the current school year. Please know that it has been our pleasure and honor to have worked closely with your child in an effort to give them the best possible academic and social skills to move forward here at C2E. Phonics/Reading: We continue to practice the sounds/letters of the alphabet together with several digraph sounds like those found in the words hook, tooth, feather, and so on. Additionally, we introduce new high frequency and sight words on nearly a daily basis. These words appear each day in the phonics homework. Our next high frequency word test will be on Thursday, April 30th. Each student has received a list of the words we will be testing, and we have practiced these words often within the classroom setting. Your child will have access to I-Ready computerized learning during the summer--up until July 15. Please be certain that you use this wonderful asset so your child does not experience an academic setback during the summer. Continue to read each day; encourage your child to “sound out” unfamiliar words. Math: Our math lessons continue. As always, the best way to assist your student is to reinforce our efforts, and to daily check the completed homework. Please review your students’ homework no only to determine correct answers, but also neat, legible handwriting. We are noticing that some students continue to struggle with one or more concepts including addition and subtraction math facts, adding 10 to an existing number, a number series that asks to determine the least and greatest number, tally marks, and counting money using mixed coins. All these math skills will be enhanced in first grade, and it is imperative that your student knows all these basic math concepts. Again, your child will have access to I-Ready computerized learning during the summer--up until July 15. Please be certain that you use this wonderful asset so your child does not experience an academic setback during the summer. Science: The current science unit is regarding bugs and isopods. Social Studies: The current unit is titled People in the World Upcoming Events: May 12, Kindergarten Field Trip, Denver Aquarium May 29, Blue Ribbon Ceremony, C2E gym Further details will be forthcoming. Sincerely, Mrs. Minnotte & Mrs. Walkup Advertising in this newsletter does not imply endorsement by Douglas County School District.
