U pon reflecting over the last five months, it is wonderful to see how the children have progressed in their learning.  So much of our lives, hopes, and dreams are tied to time and how we spend our time.  As we progress through time, we endeavor to improve ourselves each and every day through our actions, behaviors, choices, and words.  Even though their goals might have been attained, changed, or transformed, it is still incumbent upon us to review expectations with our children and to have them reflect on their growth.  It is all the more important that over the next two weeks the children continue with their reading, discuss new vocabulary, and share their understanding about what they have read.  Whether it is measuring tablespoons, counting cookies or discussing a holiday story, we need to be mindful that the time we spend providing encouragement, praise, practice, and reinforcement are the greatest gifts we can bestow upon them.  
I t is within the busy holiday times that we thank you for your continued support, effort, and commitment towards setting aside time to share a story and some problem-solving with your child.  
We wish you a happy, joyous, and safe holiday break.  
M ay the New Year bring with it all of the hope, prosperity, and health to you and yours., 

Luke Lambatos

Century
Book Club
T he Principal's Century Book Club is a listing of children who read multiples of one hundred books during their years at Eisenhower School.
*Books can be read by parents or enjoy a shared reading with your child. Take turns, use voices, and, most importantly, have fun!
Remember to ask plenty of comprehension questions and discuss new vocabulary words!
Your child’s name will be added to the front foyer wall when they read their first one hundred books. Their name continues to be added with each 100 books they read. 
Students will also receive a special prize from the office.
B ooks should be at the child’s reading level, and left to parent’s discretion.
Below, is a link to a form that you can download and print.

You may also list the books on a sheet of paper. 

Setting aside 20-minutes a night for family reading with or to your child makes a world of difference.

A big congratulations goes out to the following students for reading
100 Books!
