For the Week of January 14th

Chess Club

Now is the time to sign up for Chess Club. Forms went home last week. If you did not see one come home with your child, have him or her pick one up in the office or print out one from the Prairieview website. Forms are due back by Wednesday, January 23rd.

Big Words

Don't be afraid to use big words with small children. Small children can learn the definitions even if it is hard for them to pronounce the words, especially if they hear the words used over and over again. Understanding and using academic vocabulary is part of the new common core state standards. The more we use this type of language, the easier it will be for our students to understand it.
