BURT’S BULLETIN
Third grade students at Weston
completed the Applied Skills portion of the
ISTEP+ test and took the complete IREAD3
assessments during the week of March 10th,
and did an outstanding job. During
assessments, as in the classroom, it is
important for students to try their best, use
their time wisely, read carefully, and have a
good attitude. Our 3rd graders did all of
these and we couldn’t be more proud of the
effort shown. Students and teachers
worked hard in getting to this
accomplishment.
The results are back for this year’s
IREAD3 and 96.5% of Weston’s third grade
students passed the initial IREAD3 test. The
students who did not pass will have the
opportunity to attend summer school and
retake the test in June.
“YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME”
“You’ve Got a Friend in Me” is the theme song written for the movie Toy Story (it also appears in Toy Story 2 & 3). The lyrics talk about the
compassion one person might have for another. In part, the words to the song say: “You've got a friend in me…..You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too…….There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you……We stick together and we see it through…….You've got a friend in me
We all have troubles at some time….it may be that we’ve forgotten our lunch at home, or that a friend is being mean to us, or that we miss a grandparent. These are times when we might need to talk to someone or to have help in solving the problem. This is where a person who shows the character quality of Compassion can be helpful. That person will know what to do because they will be following the 5 “I Will” statements:
I will:
Stop to help
Listen when others want to talk
Give of my resources to help
those in need
Look for lasting solutions
Comfort others without regard
to race, gender, faith, age or
nationality
Compassion is our character trait for
April and one that we all have the chance to show several times every day. In whose life will you make a difference today?
BOOK FAIR FIESTA
Weston Elementary will be having
their Spring Book Fair Family Night on
Tuesday, April 15th, in the school library.
Students, families and friends are invited to
shop and Weston students will have a
chance to win a free bookmark, eraser,
wristband or BOOK by spinning the Weston
Wheel of Wonders! Please come join us for
popcorn, shopping, spinning and a
wonderful evening!
*BOOK FAIR HOURS 5:30PM-7:30PM
WESTON GRANDPARENTS WEEK
Weston Elementary extends a special
invitation for Grandparents to eat lunch with
their grandchild during the week of April
14-18. We do not have a specific day
identified during the week for grandparents
or grade levels because limiting attendance
to one day would prohibit some
grandparents from attending because of their
schedules. Also, grandparents are not
limited to this week to have lunch with their
grandchildren. You are welcome to have
lunch throughout the year.
To maintain the continuity of the
educational program, we request that
classroom visitations not occur before or
after lunch during this week.
Parking-Since this is a special week,
we request all parking be at the
NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
Spaces are available in front for those
with special needs.
We will have a person to greet and
register visitors at door 7 from
10:20-12:00.
Please enter using door 7. Each
entrance to the building has a number
on it.
We will be set up to take a picture of
grandparents with grandchild(ren) BEFORE
eating lunch and the pictures will be
available before they leave. There is no
cost. Grandparents will be able to shop at
the Book Fair with their grandchildren.
WILD ANIMALS
Have you ever seen a baboon up close……or
had an opportunity to watch an American wolf
sniff its environment? Weston students had
both of those opportunities and more when
Larry & Cheryl Battson, from Wildlife
Educational Services, visited Weston
Elementary on Wednesday, March 19th. When
the Battsons visit, they always bring with them
the most interesting wild animals……and tell
students a little bit about each animal. Some of
the information shared during this visit
included:
American Alligator---can be put to sleep
by rubbing its belly! Over 1 million
alligators live in Florida;
American Wolf---has a very good sense
of smell and are helping to control the
small animal population in the Yosemite
National Forest
Baboon---are always learning….and are
VERY active
Python Snake---can go as long as 1 year
without eating and can then eat big
animals. This one is on the shoulders of
3rd grader Peyton Speer.
THANK YOU TO MR. & MRS. BATTSON
FOR AN ENJOYABLE AND INFORMATIVE
VISIT!
