 Protect Our Paws 

  

Spring has sprung! We are enjoying the warmer weather and sunshine here at Macon Elementary!

Please consider the footwear your student will be wearing during these warmer days. While open toe

and/or open heel sandals and “flip-flops” seem like an easy option, or the perfect compliment to that

cute outfit, please consider these safety concerns associated with them:

1. Little protection against potential injury -- Open toed shoes often catch on the playground

surface when the child is running. This results in scraped toes, and broken toenails. Open heeled

shoes commonly fall off during play, leading to splinters or other injuries. Blisters are common

with these shoes, and flip-flops commonly break.

2. Poor foot support -- Many sandals and flip-flops are made of thin plastic that do not support

growing feet.

3. Altered gait -- When your child wears flip-flops or other backless sandals, they grip the sole with

their toes to keep the sandals on their feet. This continued walking pattern results in shorter

steps and strain on the muscles in the legs and back.

Please avoid sending your child to school in sandals or flip-flops. (This applies to Summer School as

well). Students who do wear sandals or flip-flops to school should bring an extra pair of tennis shoes

and socks for outdoor recess and PE.

Thanks for your help!

March Golden Note Awards Make good choices 

Use good manners and be nice 

Speak when the teacher allows it 

Involve yourself in activities   

Care for the music room equipment March Golden Palette Awards Each class has the possibility to earn 5 points each day in art class. The highest average points earns the Golden Palette for that month. The first point is the ready to learn point. (HABIT 2)Classes earn this by beginning with the end in mind , entering the classroom quietly so we can get started right away. The middle three points are earned by being proactive and working quietly (HABIT 1), following directions while seeking first to understand before being understood (HABIT 5), and putting first things first (HABIT 3). The last point is our clean up point, and 

is earned through using synergy (HABIT 6) as a class effort to put things away and prepare the room for the next class. 

March Golden Keyboard Awards In March, 3rd grade typed a piece about taking a walk in the spring and what they might see along the way. They learned how to center a title, indent, change the font and font size and how to make a numbered list in Google Docs. Fourth grade typed narratives about spring cleaning their room and edited and typed one about camping. Fourth grade also spent time typing their "Dogs or Cats" persuasive narrative that they wrote in their classroom. They learned about centering a title, font and font size, indenting, and spell check in Google Docs. Fifth grade made up their own holiday and typed a piece to tell about it. They also edited and typed a narrative about the human skeleton. Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades typed sentences about St. Patrick's Day and about spring. First and 2nd grades also spent time on "Dance Mat Typing". All classes enjoyed a game of "Kahoot" about keyboarding and other subjects they learned in their classroom! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
