FEBRUARY 8,2013 Attention, Canyon View Coyotes!

Krishna D. showing the 6 Character Counts bookmarks

Canyon View students are continuing the Character Counts Campaign in January with bookmarks. The bookmarks are for students to remind themselves to follow the 6 Pillars of Character. Whenever students are reading a book, they see the bookmark and they can remind themselves to follow their goals. Students set a personal goal and will decide at the end of the month if they achieved it. Please continue to follow the 6 Pillars of Character: Trustworthy, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. -Krishna D. 5th Grade Interview Naina B.: How have the bookmarks made an impact on your students? Ms. Wallace: Trustworthiness - When the students find something that is not theirs, they do not take it for themselves, but give it to me. Respect: The students follow the classroom rules and they dont disrespect each other. Responsibility: The students come to class prepared. They bring their homework. Fairness: The students share and take turns with classroom supplies and equipment. Caring: The students hold doors for each other and try not to say hurtful things. Naina B.: What was your goal and did you accomplish it? Lauren S.: Citizenship. My goal was to follow the benchmarks of Citizenship and make sure that everyone was following it too. The benchmarks were being quiet in the pod, following the pod rules, following the Coyote Code and following the school rules. 1st Grade Interview Ty P.: How did the Character Counts bookmarks change your class? Ms. Foster: The kids are really motivated to earn their bookmarks. It really pushes them forward. It made the kids work more at that character trait. Ty P.: What bookmark will you get? Jackson T.: Trustworthy. My goal is to be honest to everybody. Canyon View students, David G., Anya S. and Hannah D., have started to mentor 4th grade students, Aidan R. and Shayna B., for a break safety patrol. The idea started with David G. when he was in 4th grade. He thought of a way to make our school safer by having a student-run safety patrol during break. The students are making a volunteer schedule and soon the project will begin. Thanks mentors, for one way to keep our school safe. -Natalie M. David G. and Shayna B. are working on the schedule. Anya S., Aidan R.and Hannah D. are checking the volunteer list.

ATTENTION PARENTS OF 5TH GRADE STUDENTS Please mark your calendars for 5th grade Open House at Esperero Canyon Middle School. Come and meet the faculty, see students in action in various classes, learn about the extra curricular offerings, and get answers to questions you have about middle school life. The date is MONDAY, APRIL 29 FROM 6:00 PM UNTIL 7:30 PM. Future students are welcome to attend with their parents. If you come 15 minutes early, there will be a panel of current 6th graders to answer questions from students points of view.

Wearing the wrong shoes can impact a students safety and success during PE classes. Shoes like boots, sandals, slip-ons, even dress shoes can get in the way during simple activities like running, tag games, or stations. It is important for students to wear proper footwear (i.e. running shoes or sneakers) in order to participate safely in class activities, and to be successful with those activities. Students are graded on participation and being prepared and participating to the fullest is part of that grade. Your cooperation for their safety and active participation is very much appreciated. -Ms. Gallagher

Language Immersion in CFSD

In CFSD, we believe in developing all students cultural competence. World Language instruction is part of our core curriculum. At the elementary level, students either participate in our K-5 Spanish program (taught by a specialist for 120 min./wk.) OR in one of our Language Immersion programs.

Spanish Immersion
at Ventana Vista
started in 2009 Gr. K-4 for 2013-14 Open to K-4 students
(students entering gr. 2-4 must meet language criteria)

Mandarin Immersion
at Sunrise Drive
starting in 2013 Gr. K-1 for 2013-14 Open to K-1 students

The overall goals of our Language Immersion programs are for students to: meet or exceed academic achievement levels in all areas of the district curriculum; acquire a high level of communicative and academic prociency in English and the target language (Spanish or Mandarin); gain an appreciation of other cultures and a deeper understanding of their own culture; and increase capacity for creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

For more information click on the Spanish Immersion or Mandarin Immersion link in the Express Lane on the CFSD website: www.cfsd16.org. Call for dates of any informational evenings for parents (Ventana Vista - 209-8000; Sunrise Drive - 209-7900), or nd them on the schedule at the Open House/Tour Opportunities link in the Express Lane on the CFSD website.
