Student of the Week, March is Reading Month & Conferences

Student of the Week
Bikram was our Student of the Week for encouragement. He participates in discussions and consistently listens to others. Often he will add to a classmate's comments with "I agree with _____..." He tries is best and encourages others to do the same.


March is Reading Month
As part of March is Reading Month, we had a guest reader visit. The students were very engaged and loved listening to the story.



Conferences
Thank you very much for attending your child's conference. It was such a pleasure to visit with you about all of the great things they are doing and to discuss opportunities to grow before they head to 3rd grade. Thank you for your time and support.

Middle School Legends and Students of the Week

Students of the Week
Xavier was chosen as Student of the Week for Courage. Xavier takes risks with his writing and his math. He is always willing to write more and choose clever and unique ways to respond. He is not afraid to ask questions or to share his strategies. In February especially, he's went out of his way to offer to help his classmates and the teacher. Way to go Xavier!

Alivia was chosen as Student of the Week for Courage as well. Alivia is always up for any challenge. She may start a response with a shrug, smile and an "I don't know," but she consistently ends up solving the issue independently and with a thoughtful solution. She is also not afraid to stick up for others and help them stay on task without 'tattling.' We're very proud of you Alivia!



Middle School Students of the Week
We had a visit from Mrs. Anderson's class on Tuesday. The middle schoolers wrote tall tales about how South Pointe Scholars came to be. Our class loved listening to the tall tales and spending time with the 6th and 7th graders.

100th Day of School, 4th Grade Market Day

100th Day of School
We celebrated the 100th day of school by dressing like we were 100! We also did some activities and writing about the number 100. (Awesome photos curtesy of Ms. Hurn.)




4th Grade Market Day
We were lucky enough to get invited to the 4th Grade Market Day Showcase. We happen to have a lot of siblings in 4th grade.
