This month will go by faster than any other… It is hard to believe that the Holiday Season is upon us. There’s so much to be thankful for! We would like to take time to give thanks for our amazing teachers, students, parents and community. You make Wyndham Lakes an extraordinary place for our students to learn and grow into constructive and responsible citizens. Thank you to our teachers for your endless commitment to our students. It is evident how much you enjoy your profession and how much love and passion you have for our students. We are grateful for our parents and their commitment to their children. Thank you for bringing them to school on time, sitting down with them to provide support with homework, and attending our school events. We continue our month with some exciting activities. Please be sure to sign up to volunteer if you are interested. November 3: SAC meeting in the Media Center. November 11: Jeans for Troops - show your support by wearing jeans on this day. Picture Makeup day. November 17: TEACH IN - Come and be a teacher for a day by sharing your abilities with our students. November 18: Progress Reports go home! November 19: We will have our Field Day. There is no school the week of November 22-26 as we will have our Thanksgiving Break. School Initiatives We will be adding some new initiatives and celebrating our scholars during the month of November and December. Student Success Society During the 2nd nine weeks, we would like to celebrate the success of our scholars. When each scholar in 2nd-5th grade scores 70% or higher on their unit reading and math assessments, they will receive a special brag tag and become part of the Student Success Society. No Tardy Parties Each day that 100% of the class is present for class by first bell @ 8:40am, the classroom receives a point. The class for each grade level with the most points at the end of the week gets to choose a class reward: Extra 10-minute Recess Time, Edible Reward: Popsicle or Popcorn, 10-minute Class Dance Party at the end of the day or 10 Hoot Loots for each student. If multiple classes have the same number of points, each class will get the reward. Ms. Rice will send out a google form for the teacher to reflect the class reward selected. Owl of the Week Every week we will recognize an Owl of the Week from our classrooms! Students will receive a small certificate and a token of appreciation. Skyward All Skyward Parent Access Concerns are handled by the Assistant Principal. If you continue to have issues with our new system, Skyward, please send an email out to our assistant principal, Ms. Tammye Young at tammye.young@ocps.net She will be able to help you. Character Trait for November & December Our character trait for November & December is RESPONSIBILITY! Children, at a very young age, should start to understand the word “responsibility”. Children “hear” what we do a lot louder than they “hear” what we say. They learn best how to be responsible from their surroundings and experiences. This is the reason why accountability is so important. Children need clear rules, responsibilities and consequences. Opportunities should be created in order for children to practice being responsible. Encouragement and praise motivates children to continue being responsible and to perform even better the next time. Children who have grown up knowing the importance of responsibility and have been held accountable will be more responsible and successful adults. Media Center November is Picture Book Month. Each student is allowed to check out one extra book this month as long as it is a picture book. Have an amazing and thankful November!
