Report card time is finally here!
Have you scheduled a conference with your child’s teacher?
If not, please do so. A
conference provides a parent with the first hand opportunity to view a
son or daughter’s portfolio. This
is a great way to check on performance for that nine-week quarter.
As a parent, you will be able to share significant information,
which may be helpful for the teacher to better provide for your child.
In turn, the teacher will be able to provide you with suggestions
on how to better help your child. As
you confer with teachers, please ask questions about the curriculum, the
content, the expectations, and the testing program.
All of these things are in place to help your child succeed and
master the Maryland Learning, Outcomes, Indicators, and Standards.
Each teacher is required to help all students achieve mastery
without lessening the curriculum for any students.
Dumbing down the curriculum is not acceptable.
We are teaching with rigor and we have raised the bar for
achievement. Help your child do better this next nine weeks.
Check homework nightly, require that it be done neatly and
completely, encourage reading for 10-15 minutes for K-2, and 30 minutes
for Grades 3-6, turn off all TVs computers and video games while
homework time is implemented. Require
students to write legibly and answer all questions using correct
grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation.

Happy November from Kindergarten.
Good News! Some of
our little friends are beginning to read and write.
Continue to work with them on their alphabet letters and the
sounds of the letters. Also
review the sight words (secret words). We are averaging about 10 students turning in the secret word
each week. We would like to
reach 100%.
During the month of November, we will be studying: numbers 0-10,
Families, Animal families, Holidays, and much more.
Our trip to the Science Center is math related.
The students will be working on computers.
Chaperones are welcome. Please
have money and permission slips in by November 17.
Remember to turn in November Red Hot Reader forms.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
Kindergarten Team
The first graders are so excited they have Reading Books
(Anthologies). Please make sure that they are kept covered. Your child
will be bringing the book home at least once a week.
A special “Thanks” to Michael’s mom in Mr. Ware’s class,
Ms. Huntz, and the 5th grade girls for helping us cover the
books. Also, thanks to all those families who donated treats for our
October celebration. We had a lot of fun. Please make sure you are
filling out the “Red Hot Reader” slips each month. Each first grader
should be reading 15 minutes daily and we are asking you to read at
least 4 books per month. May you and your families have a happy and
healthy Thanksgiving.
First Grade Team
November was a “natural” month for second graders.
In Reading we explored books about animals, plants, and the
seashore. In Science, we
studied light and took a “Creature Feature” field trip to the
Science Center. Social
Studies time was spent learning how food is grown and shipped to
markets. We also learned how to label a diagram of a banana plant.
On November 20, 2000 we were pleased to recognize our top
students at the Honor Roll assembly.
Certificates were given for Principal’s Honor Roll,
Citizenship, and Perfect Attendance. We are looking forward to December and the Holidays!
Second Grade
Team
Third graders are excited about what they
are learning this year. We
have begun to explore MSPAP activities weekly.
This will allow students to become familiar with the MSPAP format
before taking the test in May.
We are still in need of volunteers who can
come into the classroom and work with students in different capacities.
If you are able to volunteer, please contact your child’s
teacher.
This month, we are focusing on the following
skills/concepts.
Reading/Language Arts: We have begun our second theme,
“Community Ties”. We
will recognize the interdependent nature of communities, write a
personal narrative, evaluate fiction stories, compare fiction selections
by completing a chart, and edit writing with an emphasis on beginning a
narrative.
Math: We will
explore Algebra by finding missing numbers, use rounding to estimate
sums, and explore adding with regrouping.
Social Studies: We will learn how the geographic setting affected
the lives of Native Americans. Also, we will analyze how the Native Americans adapted to the
land and used natural resources to meet basic needs.
Science/Health: We are finishing our Science Plus Task, “Oobleck”.
Students are collecting, recording, organizing data and drawing
conclusions based on the data collected.
** Please continue to give your
child positive praise for accomplishments great and small!!
Third Grade Team
Our 2nd quarter will be full of fun and excitement.
We have 2 exciting field trips scheduled for this month.
On November 13, we’ll take a ride on the new Branch Avenue
Metro and learn about Metro safety.
On November 21, we’ll visit Clearwater Nature Center to learn
about “The Web of Life”. Please
remind your child of the importance of good citizenship while in school
and especially away from school. Remember,
we will be representing Princeton
Elementary School and YOU!!!
Please encourage your child to study each night and turn in all homework and class work assignments on time. Your child will be responsible for all missed assignments. As always, Red Hot Readers are HOT commodities!!! Please encourage your child to read at least 15 minutes each night.
Fourth Grade
Team
Fifth graders are wrapping up the “Journey to
Adventure” Theme. We will
prepare to take the theme test by reviewing skills taught for the theme.
We will begin our next theme:
“In the Wild”. Students are learning about animals and their classification
systems in Science. They
will be completing a research project, and we will surf the Internet to
gather references for the projects.
As we begin second quarter, we would like to encourage everyone
to do their best in all areas. Please
take the time to review notes nightly, and complete all homework
assignments. It is
important that everyone participate in Rodgers Red Hot Readers, it is
part of our reading program. Congratulations
to Mrs. Hill’s class who had 20 out of 23 students to participate for
October. Thanks to all parents who have been in for a conference.
We encourage all parents to call to schedule a conference as soon
as possible. We look
forward to continued success with our classes. Together we can make a difference!!
Fifth Grade Team
We are rolling through the year and it seems as though October
was just here! It’s gone
now but here is a wrap up of some of the highlights for the month.
The Red Hot Readership was a strong point for the sixth grade in
October. Ms. Armstrong’s
class received the honors of first
place for the most books read and second place for the most readers.
Ms. Robinson’s class received the honor of second place for
most books read and third place for most red hot readers in class.
Please encourage you children to continue to read, read, read!
We have some high achievers for our Challenge of the Week for
October as well. Here are
the sixth graders who received a score of a 4 on their C.O.W: Jessica
A., Jordan C., Montero., Lamon B., Rosheta C., Danielle., Shayona H.,
Charles L., Samantha M., Jasmine M., John P., Shuffina R., Blaine S.,
Kendra S., Kyle T., and John W.
Congratulations to them for working so hard.
Along those same lines, we’ve also had some students to work
hard as well to achieve a score of a 4 on their October Soar for 4 which
dealt with the changes that occur during the fall.
Here are some of those students: Lamon B., Danielle D., Ralisha
E., Ian H., Shayona H., Charles L., Samantha M., Eric S., Ashly A.,
Jordan C., Blaine S., John P., Nicole H., John W., Rachel C., Jessica
A., Kyle T., and Vincent H.
In Reading/Language Arts the children are still exploring the
theme of “Survival” in their literature books.
In Science, we will be staring our next Activity Plus Task
dealing with color and rays of light.
The D.A.R.E. program is still going strong
in our classrooms every Tuesday with Corporal Sheppard of the
Prince George’s County Police Department and will continue through
January. In Social Studies,
we are beginning to wrap up the unit on Prince George’s County and
will soon explore Canada and Latin America.
Parents, please remember about the upcoming field trip to go see
the play “Ebony Scrooge” at the Thomas Pullen Magnet Center on
December 1. It should be an
enlightening experience for the students.
Parents are invited to come to visit the classroom anytime.
Don’t forget to check Tiger Talk every night to verify your
children’s homework assignments.
Sixth Grade Team
Another month has passed and as always we worked and played hard.
Our students have already
shown progress in following directions, increasing sight vocabulary and
basic math skills. Storytime
is a daily part of our schedule and more of our students are using their
listening skills. Parents, maybe storytime can become part of your daily
routine too!
The CBI trips we took were of a wide variety.
We went to the public library in Clinton where we participated in
storytime (which included singing, dancing, puppets, and a filmstrip and
of course, stories). Everyone also enjoyed trips to the Air and Space Museum in
Washington D.C. and a mall. For
the first time we took a subway ride.
You can imagine how excited we were! Students were able to work
on their bowling skills on our second trip to the AAFB bowling alley.
Some students even bowled a strike!
As always, we thank those of you who came along as chaperones.
We also participated in two cooking activities. We experimented
with a new recipe for Purple Cows, a refreshing, PURPLE drink.
Our other cooking activity tapped our creative sides.
We made pretzel stick people and decorated them.
As busy as November was, we all had a good time and can’t wait
to see what December brings.

“Don’t
Let The Holidays Stress You Out”
The holidays are here.
It is a time for shopping, for family gatherings, and a variety
of stressful situations. Stress
is the bodily or mental tension that results from a person’s response
to physical, chemical or emotional factors.
Stress can be physical as well as mental.
Everyone feels stress at different times, in different amounts
and with different reactions.
Researchers don’t yet know the role that stress plays in the
development of heart disease. The American Heart Association is exploring more study on
this subject. In the meantime, the AHA has offered ten positive ways of
dealing with stress during the holidays and the rest of the year. If you become irritated and/ or hostile when experiencing
stress and impatience, these tips are particularly helpful.
1.
Take
a serious look at the demands you are placing upon yourself.
2.
Consider
deleting or delegating some of the activities you’ve accumulated.
Delegating responsibilities gives others the chance to contribute
and takes pressure off of you.
3.
Make
schedules with the real world in mind, not the world as you’d like it
to be.
4.
Take
an inventory of your support network.
If you do not have someone to turn to for emotional support,
devote some time and energy into developing your support by reaching out
to others.
5.
Identify
potentially hostile times (provoking situations and be alert to the
warning signals). You may
be at high risk when you are placed in these situations.
6.
Place
yourself in situations that trigger your stress and then practice your
newly learned stress management techniques to avoid getting angry.
7.
Drive
in the slow lane or get into the long line to practice your positive
patience skills.
8.
Try
to control your anger and make conscious decisions about whether or not
it is worth the cost of your health.
9.
Drinking
alcohol, smoking and overeating are all unhealthy habits to turn to
handle stress. Avoid these at every opportunity.
10.
Develop
positive strategies for coping with stress including brisk walking,
relaxation, humor and keeping events in their perspective.
The American Heart Association is pleased to offer you this
information. For more
information on matters of heart health contact your local AHA in the
telephone directory.
Best Wishes for positive family sharing times this holiday
season.
CMB Berces
Counselor
Holidays are coming with family and friends sharing happiness,
food, and COLDS! Flu season
is coming. Remember to get
your Flu shot as soon as you can.
We have been talking to your children about good habits so we can
all stay well. Here are
some of them:
1.
Use tissues for sneezing. Wash
hands after sneezing.
2.
Cover your mouth when coughing.
Wash hands after coughing.
3.
Turn your head away from others while sneezing or coughing.
Wash hands after sneezing or coughing.
4.
Wash hands before and after lunch.
5.
Wash hands before and after use of the bathroom.
Have you noticed the theme?
WASH HANDS FREQUENTLY!! This
prevents or holds to a minimum many illnesses.
If your child has had a fever, vomited, or has
coughed or sneezed heavily, or is extremely congested-please keep
him/her home until symptoms subside.
Our enclosed spaces-classrooms- are a breeding ground for those
contagious illnesses.
Have you changed your home or work telephone number?
Have you moved? Have you changed aftercare persons? Are your emergency telephone numbers still good?
HAVE YOU NOTIFIED THE SCHOOL OF ANY OF THESE CHANGES?
Please keep us up to date so that we may contact you in any
emergency.
I’m looking forward to my Turkey dinner and a time to give my
thanks for all my blessings. Certainly,
I hope you all have a great holiday.

in the Lab-
The
Universe right at your finger tips!
Hello
Princeton family!! Over the
Thanksgiving holiday, I would like to encourage everyone to explore
something “new to you” about Technology.
A lot of times we get bogged down with the pressures of everyday
life and also going about things in the same old way.
Learning something new can open up new and wonderful worlds to
those willing to learn. It
can be inspiring to you as well as those around you.
I challenge you to learn or research a new avenue of Technology
and then share your new finding with someone!!

THE
WINTER HOLIDAY CONCERT
HELLO
MUSIC MAKERS!
The fifth and sixth grade chorus is having fun rehearsing for the
annual winter holiday concert. This
year, the chorus will present a musical drama, entitled ‘The Runaway
Snowman’, written by Jill Gallina.
The program will be presented for the parents on Dec. 11, 2000 at
7:30 PM and during the day for the student body at 8:30 and 12:30pm.
This is the season for turkey songs, poems and games.
Grades K-4 are learning the meaning of Thanksgiving through music
and having fun.
Happy
Thanksgiving.
M Caldwell

Teacher
It is Thanksgiving time and National American Indian Heritage
Month. Students are
learning that throughout our history; American Indians and Eskimos have
been an integral part of the American character.
Tribal America has brought to our country certain values and
ideas that have become ingrained in the American spirit: the knowledge
that humans can thrive and prosper without destroying the natural
environment; the understanding that people from very different
backgrounds, cultures, religions and traditions can come together to
build a great country; and the awareness that diversity can be a source
of strength rather than division.
Students are also learning the history of Thanksgiving and the
reasons the holiday is celebrated today.
For more information about Thanksgiving and Indians, come to the
library and ask Mrs. Perkins about books on these and other subjects.
You can also find information on the World Wide Web.
Below
are some web sites about Thanksgiving.

PARENTS! Did
Your Child Get a 4, 3, 2,1, or 0?
Many students worked diligently to make a score of four on their Challenge
Of the Week math activity. There
was an increase of 32 students for October from September.
This is approximately 57% of our kindergarten through grade six
student population. The number of students making a score of three also
increased. Most of the
students successfully completing this C.O.W. were the same students
listed last month. Parents,
please take some time to help your child with their C.O.W. activity and
the final revision; as with ALL homework assignments.
Congratulations to the 246
winners and to the individuals providing assistance to them!

Our school wide reading incentive program is Mrs.
Rodgers Red Hot Readers. This program is from September to May.
I encourage your child’s participation in this program. You can, for example, set time for your child to read at
home, talk to your child about the books he or she is reading, let your
child read aloud to you, and praise your child for meeting the school
reading incentive goals. If
your child is a beginning reader, you may want to read to or with your
child and share your love for reading together.
You may want to help your child complete the forms correctly.
With your support, this reading incentive program can help your
child acquire a love of books and the written word.
I feel confident that if your child can read for a 15 to 30
minute period, he or she can accomplish this goal.
Please encourage your child to read different types of
literature.
As each child works to meet these reading goals throughout the
year, there are different rewards; certificates, ribbons and trophies.
Students who read 15, 25, 40, and 50 books become members of the
“bookworm club”. They
receive a reading certificate from the superintendent and a small,
curly, little, book worm on Tiger TV.
At times, the business community supports our reading incentive
program. Pizza Hut is one
that is supporting our reading incentive through its Book
It program. For the
months of October through February, each child who meets Princeton’s
reading goals of four books will receive a certificate for a free, one
topping, Personal Pan Pizza. The
coupons are issued for each month.
Please read the restrictions of use on the Pizza Hut coupons.
They are good until May 1, 2001.
On the first visit, your child will receive a Book It! Button and
a recognition sticker for the button.
He or she will receive another pizza and sticker on each
successive visit. If your
child completes all six months of the program, he or she will become a Book
It! All Star Reader and will be awarded an All
Star Reader medallion at
Pizza Hut. Only one
certificate per month per child is allowed.
From Nov. 6, 2000 to
January 12, 2001, the Washington Wizards and Washington Mystics have
a reading incentive program to help the students develop good reading
habits that will last a lifetime. It
is called Pick and Roll. It
is only for fourth, fifth and
sixth graders. The
students who complete eight
“chapter” books in this time period will earn a special Wizards and
Mystic prize. Students will receive a special reading book report form on
blue paper to complete to qualify.
Another part of the contest is called Read
to Win. The school with
the highest percentage of students completing the Pick and Roll program
will win tickets to the 2001
All-Star Jam Session, presented by Fleer.
This program will coincide with our Red Hot Reader program.
There is a monthly competition amongst the classes. For students
to earn credit for their class, the verification form must be completed
and turned in on time. It
is important that there is a parent’s or guardian’s signature on the
form along with the name of the teacher.
Late forms will not be credited to the class.
For the month of October, we had a total of 192 students
participate. This is 43% of
the students. They read
1,190 books. The leading
classes were:

Have you gone to Piney Point?
The Comer office offers this wonderful experience several times
throughout the school year. Any
parent, staff member, SPMT member, PTA member or active Princeton
Community member may take advantage of this opportunity.
The orientation provides an opportunity for various Comer
representatives throughout the county to experience the Comer Process in
a fun, practical, and exciting way.
While this trip is booked solid, there are spaces available for
our next trip, January 21-23, 2001.
The cost is free, but spaces are limited.
If you want more information or would like to attend the Comer
Orientation in January, please let me know or leave a note in my
mailbox. This is truly an experience you will value in understanding
the principles and foundations of the Comer Process. To find out more about the Comer School Development program,
please give me a call at the school or at the Comer Office (301)
408-7120.
Thank you.
