Principal’s Corner
Welcome back to Illinois School, we hope you had an enjoyable holiday break. Once
again, thank you! Thank you for joining us as we provide an enriching educational experience for our children toward mastery of the College Career Readiness Standards
(Illinois State Common Core Standards). With this one goal and directive to achieve
90% of all of our students performing at or above grade level, I want to remind everyone of some simple steps that can be implemented at home to help Illinois School continue its academic progress:
1.
Come in and volunteer for just one hour each month- This becomes a visual representation to your child of the importance of community service, and doing you their
best in school.
2. Set aside twenty minutes a day of uninterrupted quiet reading time, or reading with
your child time: This reading experience is not the reading students have to do for
school. This reading is simply for the child's enjoyment.
3. Visit the library bi-weekly to allow your child/children to check out books to enjoy.
4. Establish a quiet zone for students to complete homework.
5. Develop Literacy Rich Environments in your home. For more information on how to
establish Literacy Rich Environments in your home go to: https://www.bloomcarroll.k12.oh.us/pdf/Providing-a-Literacy.pdf.
6. Keep a positive line of communication open with all of your child's teachers; including the Extra-curricular Classes.
7. Activate your Power School account and visit our open web page at
www.sd162.org. If you have not done this already you are missing out on wonderful
real time information for your child's grades and class activities.
8. Join the Illinois P.T.L (Parent Teacher League) and support our fundraising and
special events programs.
9. Have your child/children practice their High Frequency Words (students in grades
Kindergarten-6th), and their Math Automaticity (fluency with adding, subtraction,
multiplication, and division).
10. Talk with your child/children. Ask them what they learned today, and to show you
how to do it. To teach is to learn twice. This will only help your child/children to
reflect on the day’s lessons.
These tips are simple ways to help improve your child's academic proficiency, thereby
helping us to insure our students are on a solid foundation to build on towards becoming
College and Career Ready.
We all look forward to seeing you volunteering at Illinois School. GO WOLVES!

Illinois School had a fabulous second quarter! November brought wonderful parent participation at Illinois
School for our V.I.P. Day and Parent-Teacher Conferences. We appreciate all of our parents and other
special guests who came out to show our students how
important they are to all of us! Mr. Dwayne Bryant
was a wonderful V.I.P. Day speaker, keeping us all
entertained! We look forward to seeing him back and
sharing that positive energy with Illinois School in the
future! We began the busy month of December with
our Family Fun Night at Fuddruckers and our Illinois
Holiday Concert at GSU. We continued a strong focus
on academics, as we prepared for the winter break,
and ended the month with a celebration of festive
music at our District Holiday Concert at GSU. The
Illinois choir, band and soloists all sounded fabulous!
After our students and staff had a much needed break,
January began with annual Illinois Science Fair (see
science fair section and website for winners) and District Spelling Bee. It is such an honor attending events
where students are striving to be the very best in a
specific academic area and achieving success as a
result of their hard work. All of these students should
be very proud of their accomplishments! Finally, we
closed out the 3rd quarter with Pajama and Movie
Night activity, which was a fun, Friday night activity
for our students and families. We are gearing up for a
strong 3rd quarter, continuing our drive for fluency
skill mastery and high academic rigor for our students. This will undoubtedly lead our students to
great success on the PARCC and Terra Nova tests, as
well as in preparation for the next school year!

FABULOUS FIRST GRADE NEWS
During 2nd quarter, we celebrated the season by having a Fall Feast where
we shared each other’s company and enjoyed homemade Chex mix. As winter break neared, we made our very own gingerbread houses! The children
had fun decorating the houses with gum drops, M&Ms, and peppermints. It
turned out to be a fabulous holiday season in First Grade.
In Reading we have been focusing on sequence. The students have been
using graphic organizers as a tool to help them comprehend different stories. We just began a new read aloud series for EngageNY where the students will learn how the human body.
As we approach third quarter we are going to be focusing on having “fact
power.” Make sure to practice addition and subtraction facts with your
child. This will help improve their math fluency. Also,
make sure to ask your child “how” they solved a math
problem. It is important to you have your child explain
how they got their answer!

SECOND GRADE NEWS
Second quarter has been quite busy for the second
graders! They started the quarter off with map skills
and learning about landforms. They even created their
own landform map! In math, students have extended
their understanding of place value to the hundreds
place! They also became math detectives by writing
and solving addition and subtraction number stories.
They are currently studying clocks and how to solve
written time problems. Second graders also explored
animals and the habitats in which they reside. We investigated food chains and created our own. Finally in
math, students were introduced to the inch and centimeter as standard units of measurements and they
measure a variety of objects in the classroom. In
reading and science, second graders are learning
across the curriculum. They are exploring the rain
forest specifically. Through nonfiction text, they
read about rain forest babies. The students became
scholars of their own rain forest baby when they researched one of their choosing in the technology lab.
The second graders have also researched bats and
how people are protecting them in one specific habitat. Who knows! Maybe some of these second graders
will become veterinarians or animal rights activists!
In language arts, the second graders have improved
their fluency tremendously through the use of a
morning message from the teacher each day. They did
a great job with our reading targets this quarter: vocabulary, text-based evidence, author’s purpose, writing responses, and ask and answering questions. Lastly,
the students wrote fantastic pieces of writing for
winter, Martin Luther King Jr., animal research , and
explaining our answers in math! Third quarter, we’re
coming for you!
TERRIFIC THIRD GRADE NEWS
During this 2nd quarter, our third graders have been
working hard in reading to improve their comprehension. First, they worked on memorizing their list of
sight words. 92 % of the class have passed their list
and have moved on to tackle the next list. Students
have been taught how to locate evidence in the story
or passage they are reading. They have then carried
this skill over into their writing and are working on constructing a proper response to a question by having the
evidence. Third grade students have also been working
on personal narrative stories. Students focused on
events in their own lives to write about. Based on some
stories, we have an interesting group of children that
have traveled, enjoyed many waterparks and are very
athletic. I am looking forward to reading more stories
and exposing them to informational writing next.
In Math class, the third graders have been hard at
work building foundations alongside learning new skills.
We continue to master our addition, subtraction, and
multiplication facts, but have started using these foundations skills to expand our problem solving abilities.
Please continue/start practicing these foundation
facts with your student at home. 30 minutes a day
doesn’t keep the doctor away, but it sure makes math a
lot easier!
Mrs. Duh & Mr. Schleicher
FLUENT FOURTH GRADE NEWS
Second quarter is officially done. We
have been very busy
in fourth grade doing
a lot of different
things. In math, multiplication is becoming
very fluent and we are on our way to almost full mastery. Fractions are becoming more prominent in lessons along with fractions that are tenths and hundredths. We are also working on balancing math
equations with Marcy Cook math. It was a huge hit!
Illinois School News
We really have to persevere to make sure everything
is balanced and correct. Colonial America has been
the topic for reading this quarter. We learn everything from what the colonial Americans ate, different vocabulary words, and how often they went to
church, sometimes for the entire day. Writing skills
are continuing to build. Using different types of sentences can make writing more complex. The West
region, American history, and animal adaptations are
all topics we will continue to explore this upcoming
quarter. Fantastic job fourth grade!

FABULOUS FIFTH GRADE NEWS
How time flies!!
Here we are at the half-way point of fifth grade! We’ve learned so many new things and skills, and using
that information and those skills in fun and exciting ways!!
In reading, we are applying what we’ve learned while doing activities in conjunction with our latest
novel study, “Promises to Keep: How Jackie Robinson Changed America”. This novel will lead us right
into our Black History Month curriculum in Social Studies. Not only will we study the history and
contributions to the world made by African-American citizens, but we will also dive into our own individual family histories, and share our own diverse backgrounds. We’ll end the month with presentations of research done for our Black History projects.
Math finds us focusing on fractions…and all the ways we see and use
them in our lives each day. Seeing how relevant fractions are in real
life makes it a little easier for us to understand and work with them.
We would like to say “Thank you!” for all your help at home in preparing for a successful science fair. The exhibits were great!!
Lastly, but certainly not least – our class will be going to see the movie “Hidden Figures” on February 8th.
We are really looking forward to learning about the women who worked at NASA and contributed so much
to the space program!
SENSATIONAL SIXTH GRADE NEWS
For the second quarter, our 6th graders have continued to
learn the Digits curriculum and everything that it has to offer.
The students enjoy doing their homework on computers and laptops. In the second quarter, students have emerged themselves
into fractions. They continue to work hard and share their
work, both in oral and written forms. I can’t wait to see what
see what the second half of the school will bring.
Mr. Van Dyke’s Math Class
2nd Quarter was exciting! Sixth grade learned valuable information about Ancient Egypt
though fun projects and began our journey though Ancient China.
The reading classes have been devouring a host of interesting focus skills and engaged
in reading their novel, The Lightning Thief.
We look forward to the challenging yet enriching months to come.

MARVELOUS MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH NEWS
The 7th and 8th Graders are busy preparing for standardized assessments and diligently working in
Digits!! The 7th Graders are focusing on Multiplying Positive and Negative
Integers. The 8th Graders are focusing on Solutions to Linear Equations. Daily review of the Basic Math Skills is being encouraged so we can
climb our way to successful college and career ready students!!
MARVELOUS MIDDLE SCHOOL ELA NEWS
The middle school students continued to be very busy in English Language Arts during the second quarter. Seventh grade continued to read the novel, A Long Walk to Water. While the eighth grade enjoyed their
novel, Inside Out and Back Again. Both novel studies focus many aspects that are allowing our students to be
college and career ready in English Language Arts. Students are working hard on their writing skills and being
able to find textual evidence with their written answers. Seventh graders learned the R.A.C.E.S. method to
writing and constructing an answer using textual evidence to help support their answer. Eighth graders continue to utilize this skill to enhance their writing.
R = Restate the question in your answer
A = Answer the question
C = Cite from the text using quotation marks
E = Explain in your own words how your citation supports your answer
S = Sum it up with a conclusion by writing that pertains to personal experiences or other connections.
MARVELOUS MIDDLE SCHOOL SOCIAL STUDIES NEWS
Our 7th graders have been learning about the early accounts of our early colonization of the Americas and have seen the
colonies grow despite the oppression of King George III and Parliament. We are now starting our journey in what will become
the United States but not without conflict with the American Revolutionary War. As we wrap up the war
in 3rd quarter we will also start our journey into the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions. Watch for the letter
concerning these two tests during 3rd quarter.
The 8th graders on the other hand have been learning about early industrialization
and the history of slavery in the United States which leads to Civil War. After
the Civil War we will deal with Reconstruction, Westward expansion, The Great
Wars, as well as the Great Depression and Civil Rights. So much history and so little time!
History has been flying by and so much has been experienced! I would also like to
take this moment and remind you that the history fair will be approaching in May.
Students will start receiving information towards the end of 3rd quarter in order
to complete their history board project. Also to give you advance notice the students will need a 36” x 48” display just like the science fair to display their information. Please have
your students bring in their boards by the end of February.

The EarlyAct Club of Illinois School continued its tradition of giving by leading a letter writing
campaign to Santa. For every letter written, Macy’s Department Store donated $1 to the Make
-A-Wish Foundation. The foundation grants wishes for children with
life-threatening medical conditions. EarlyAct members helped younger students write letters, as well as crafting letters of their own. Their efforts raised $187 for a worthwhile
cause, proving that no matter how big or small, we can all make a difference in the life of a
deserving child!

DECK THE HALLS
When the EarlyAct Club and the Student Council decided to sponsor a Winter Door Decorating Contest, they
never imagined all the magic it would bring to Illinois School! The staff and students transformed the building
into a seasonal sensational. Teachers took their classes on a “Door Walk” around the school.
This is what they saw:

There were ornaments and lights that were hung with great care.
 Rudolph and his reindeer friends roamed the halls, even in the dark!
This is what they did:
 Sat by the fireplace and had a warm gingerbread cookie with the abominable
snowman after a chilly snowball fight with the snowmen
 Took selfies with Santa, after we pulled him out of the door, of course.
 Took a ride on the Polar Express with Snoopy
 And talked about peace on earth with the Elf on the Shelf.
The competition was far fiercer than the winter wind in Chicago. Members of the EarlyAct Club
and the Student Council were given directions and a ballot to judge the doors. They checked the
ballots . . . and then they checked them twice . . . The Winter Door Decorating Contest winners were: Mrs. Hanson (Specialists); Ms. Travis/Mr. Pieper (Middle School); Mrs. Bradshaw and Mrs. Daniels (Intermediate); Mr.
Schleicher (Primary); and a special award with a perfect score, went to Dr. Cogar. Prizes were provided for the
winning classrooms and staff. Magical memories are made at Illinois School!

MS. LACEY’S COUNSELOR’S CORNER
STRANGER SAFETY!
As a parent, we eventually come to the realization that “Don’t
talk to strangers” needs to be refined. Things such as, “Who
qualifies as a stranger?” and “When is it ok to talk to a
stranger?” need to be explained. We don’t want to scare our
children but we do need to educate them in order to foster
their “street smarts”. Here are some ideas that may be helpful in presenting the topic at home.
The National Crime Prevention Council (www.NCPC.org) suggests that a stranger is anyone that your family doesn’t know
well. These people can include the next door neighbor, a
coach, a teacher, the mailman, mom’s friend from work, the
person walking by you on the street, etc. Teach your child (no
matter what age) that there are “safe strangers” that are
appropriate people to approach if there is a problem or an
emergency. These people may include teachers, police, firemen, principals, the local librarian, or a neighbor.
The following are helpful hints in helping to keep your child/
children safe:
bor’s house, into a store or public place, into the house). Have
them tell their story so the authorities can be alerted
-Show them safe places
-Teach children to trust their instincts. If it doesn’t feel
right, it’s probably not right!
-Encourage your children to play with others and never walk
alone. There is power in numbers.
The following can be valuable resources for you and your family:

WE LOVE TO READ “ARR” BOOKS!
Great things were happening in the Illinois School Library during second
quarter. We held our fall Scholastic “Bookaneer” Book Fair. Many students participated and we raised $406 for children, families, and teachers in need of
books through the “All for Books” donation drive.
The Illinois School Library would also like to thank our community libraries: Richton Park Public Library, Matteson Public Library, and Park Forest
Public Library. Representatives from the libraries currently come to our school
for story time, STEM activities, and book clubs. Activities are available for all
grades, Kindergarten through Eighth.
The Illinois School Library would like to encourage students to “checkout” our new and themed books. We have books available for Black History Month, Presidents’ Day, Groundhog’s Day and Valentine’s Day.
WE ARE SMITTEN WITH TECHNOLOGY
We are off to a great start! Our students are learning increasing their
typing speed with EduTyping, learning the fundamentals of Word and
PowerPoint, and preparing for PARCC by practicing online.
Students were able to participate in an Hour of Code and have
accounts created to continue the fundamentals of coding in
https://studio.code.org. We finally have Windows 10 on our
PCs as well as our Kodu Game Lab. Sixth
graders are able to experiment with
creating worlds to share with others.
Our class is truly “smitten” with Tech!
BEING HEALTHY IS A WORK OF ART!
Health and fitness night was a great success for first quarter. The Illinois School Student
Council and the P.E. Department will be hosting the next Health and Fitness night on Jan
27th from 6:30-7:30. Please come out and join us for a night of Zumba, basketball, karate,
virtual reality games and much more. The pom pons will have a special performance to kick
off the event.
The 5th grade art students from the Fiber Arts class are creating outstanding examples of African Dashikis. The students have designed and sewn each garment by hand. They have also created a personal Sankofa
patch to be incorporated into the design. The finished Dashikis will be worn in February for the Black History
assembly.
Artistic Breezes is back! The Matteson Public Library will be displaying the artwork from Illinois School
and District 162 for the month of February. Opening reception date TBA. Please join us for a night of great
art, friends and fun.
The Art Department received a yarn grant from the Craft Yarn Council. Thirty crochet kits were given to the
school for student use in the Fiber Arts class. This program has done research that shows skills like crocheting
help to improve motor coordination, and calm and focus students.

¿QUÉ PASA EN LA CLASE DE ESPAÑOL?
In Spanish class, the students are combining all the information and vocabulary they have learned and use it to talk
about themselves.
The students are juggling several vocabularies at the same time while telling their stories. From 2 nd to 8th grade and
everyone at their own level, the kids are telling where they go on their free time, with whom they go, what they do
there, what was the weather at the time, what they or their siblings look like, and their ages. The younger students
describe their homes and pets. In some classes, the students write an essay. In other classes, they write and deliver
a speech!
Everyone says you cannot learn a foreign language once a week and it may be true in other schools, but we are proving
them wrong at Illinois School. Our secret? Our students learn Spanish starting in Kindergarten, and we continuously
review our materials year after year and eventually it clicks!
I am so proud of my students and the program at Illinois!
YEARBOOK IS ON SALE NOW!
Every year the Illinois School Yearbook looks amazing. We have pictures of every event in the school
and every homeroom. This year is even better. A full color book, it is going to have hard cover and as a
special bonus only for this year the cost is $17.
Our Technology department under the direction of the very talented Ms. Burnett is organizing a contest for the best digital cover. We are going to feature 1st place in the front cover and 2nd through 5th
place in the back cover. The students are very excited.
The more events you attend in the school the more opportunities for your picture to be shown in the
book.
There is a special page for the Winter Concerts at GSU, Science Fair, Reading Night, Sunflower Festival, Black History Month and other events. We also show candid pictures of every class, sometimes
fun fieldtrips, other times a special project. A special page in the middle of the book is all our 8 th
graders dressed up with cap and gown!
Make sure you reserve your copy. You don’t want to miss on the memories.
Send your $17 in an envelope with the student’s name and the Homeroom teacher’s name on it. Checks
should be payable to Illinois School.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH
November—Robert Schleicher
My career as a photographer began back in college. I was working with a
friend at a one-hour photo lab and he was getting into photography. It looked
interesting to me and I had remembered that my dad had some old camera
equipment that he wasn’t using. I asked him if he would loan me the equipment
and I started going out with my friend and taking photographs. In the beginning, I took a lot of bad photographs, but as time went on, my skills sharpened.
Photography became a passion for me. I love composing a picture of looking for
a perfect back drop. I have photographed sporting events, weddings, engagements, family events, and personal journeys. To me, a photograph is a way to
capture a memory; an instant way to take you back to a time and place from your past. My photos that are on
display are a mix of some of my early years of experimentation and journeys I have been on in the past. I
hope you enjoy my memories.
