WORK HARD AND BE PROUD OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS Showcase:
Dear Students and Families of Snow School,
There are many wonderful milestones that have been accomplished by our students at school and in our community. As part of our Leader in Me Program, we would like to showcase these milestones. If your son/daughter individually, or as part of your family, a group or a team, has risen to the next level in anything-sports/reading/volunteering, etc., or has shown great leadership, participated in charity events, helps out at Scouts, church, or in another way, please send in documentation and we will post these in our new showcase for Leadership. Items, with names!!!, should be sent to Mrs. Zechar. Your items will be returned after the month they have been posted. If we get a lot of entries we might have to hold on to yours for a bit before it gets posted. Thanks for your help in celebrating our Snow School Community!

NO ART CLUB 1/11.  Ms. Zechar has a meeting that she needs to attend.  Sorry about the last minute notice.  Thanks!

Family Science Night

Dear Snow Families,

We are very excited to bring to Snow Elementary School our 4th Annual Family Science Night!  It will take place on Thursday, January 26th 6:00-7:30 p.m.  The evening will begin in the gym with a “Wacky Science” presentation by Scheer Magic Productions.  This will begin at 6:00 p.m. sharp, so please plan accordingly.  After the assembly, you and your family will have time to walk around the school to see the wonderful science projects that the students have accomplished.   We invite you to celebrate our success and support your student’s science skill development.

Sincerely,

The Science Fair Committee & Snow PTA

Spelling words (/on/ and /en/ pattern):  poison, cannon, shrunken, chosen, frighten

Thank you to all of the wonderful families who gave me a Christmas gift and/or card.  It was so thoughtful and generous of all of you!

Thank you to the families that donated items to our Holiday Party.  It was a huge success!

Snow School Skate Night is this Thursday, January 12th at Lincoln Park Skating Center from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.  Pre Sale is $7.00 and at the door is $9.00.  Fliers are coming home today.

Just a reminder that all Science Fair Projects are due Wednesday, January 25th.  Students will be presenting their projects in class for a grade.  Parents will be invited to attend a “Wacky Science” assembly on Thursday, January 26th starting at 6:00 p.m. then browse through the school at the Science Fair to view students’ Science Projects.

We are moving on to Our Federal Government in Social Studies this week.  In math we are continuing multiplication in Unit 5.  Students should continue to practice their multiplication facts at home.

We will begin our Winter NWEA testing this week.  Students will take the Language NWEA on Tuesday afternoon.  Each week thereafter, we will take one of the remaining NWEA tests of Reading, Math, and Science.  At the end of all testing, I will send home a printed report for each child so you can view their current scores and see if they’ve shown improvement since the beginning of the year.

Hello, Snow School Community!!!   Our Lobby will soon become a “Wolf Den”.  Students will be making trees, rocks, etc., to enhance our space. We are looking for any artificial trees that might get thrown out after the holidays. Any tree- big, small, tiny, medium, fat, skinny, etc., is eligible. Please let us know if you have one or if someone you know does. Ms. Zechar can pick them up or you can drop them off at school. Questions? Please email Ms. Zechar at zecharj@dearbornschools.org or call school, 313-827-6250, and she will get back to you.   Spread the word.   Tons of thanks!

Calling all shovelers!

Let it snow!!!

As part of Snow Elementary Leader In Me Program, we are asking you, our fabulous students, to reach out in our community to help others.  If you’d like to be a part of the Snow Shoveling Club, simply volunteer to shovel a neighbor’s, relatives or your very own driveway and sidewalk.  Please be sure to have a parent with you and get permission of the community member before shoveling.  You are giving back to the community, so please offer to do this free of cost.

Each time you shovel someone’s snow, color a square on the chart sent home.  Once you have helped 5 members in the community, please return the chart to Mrs. Grizzell for acknowledgement of your leadership and kindness.

Thank you!

The Unit 4 Math test has been checked and is coming home today.  If your child scored a “4”, they can retake the test no later than this Friday.  If is the student’s responsibility to let me know when they are ready to retake the test.  Otherwise, the grade they received is what they have earned for the next report card.  If anyone received a “3” and would like to do “Test Corrections” to improve their score, the students should ask me for a Test Correction paper with directions stated on it on how to earn 1/2 credit extra points.
