The Principal’s Posting
We have had a very successful beginning for the new school year. I want
to thank all the parents who attended Meet the Teacher and the Title One meeting, and also waited patiently in line for school supplies. This took longer than we
anticipated, but we are already working on ideas to improve this for next year. The
students of Chillicothe Elementary are to be commended for their good behavior
and attendance the first week of school. I am so proud to be the principal of such
a fine group of students. There will be a PTCO meeting on September 6th at
6:00 to discuss setting a date for the Fall Festival and planning the booths and
activities. Please make every effort to attend so we can work together to make this
a successful event.
On September 12th at 9 a.m., we have authors, Dave and Pat Sargent visiting our school. They will do a presentation and will have their books for sale.
You should be receiving a flyer with more information about this soon. We have
lots more planned for this year, and will be letting you know of events and time in
future newsletters and notes. Please check your child’s folder for all
communication being sent home. I am still in the process of getting to know all of
you, so if you visit the school, please stop by my office, introduce yourself and say
hello.

BOOK NOTES
By: Ashley Reinhardt
This week we have had a wonderful time in library
setting up A.R.. We have gotten a few new books,
and we will be visited by two very talented authors,
Dave and Pat Sargent. I think this first week in
library has been very successful and I hope you
have thought the same thing. I would like to thank
you all for trying your best in library and I hope you
will continue to work hard!
Mrs. Baird’s Kindergarten
By: Chloe Propst
This week the wonderful
kindergarteners have learned
a high frequency word and are
reviewing their ABC’S! Now
they are learning something
important, classroom rules.
Also, they have learned how to
go to through the lunch line,
and their lunch numbers.
Next week the kindergarten
class will learn a new high
frequency word! Can you
guess what that word is? It is
the word “can”! How smart are
they? I hope that they have a
year full of learning and lots of
fun!
Ms. Riley’s Second Grade
By: Maddox Flores
Last week the excited second graders all
made a 100 on their spelling test! WooHoo! They also had a great first week of
school and they learned their rules
quickly. Some of them went on exciting
vacations this summer, Weslie Daniel
went to Disneyland and saw the cars,
Katy Huse went to St. Croix.
Yay for the second graders! Great job!
FOURTH GRADE
By: Logan Pulis
Fourth grade is doing a lot of science and social
studies. They are learning about the Presidents
and the Candidates. In math, they are learning
about place value, expanded notation, and math
facts. The fourth graders are all learning the rules
and about switching classes but I think they are
doing amazing!
Fourth graders are all smiles about learning!

Mrs. Harris’ First Grade
By: Ben Brown
This year Mrs.Harris says that the first
grade class is doing a good job on their
spelling and fluency. Mrs.Harris likes this
class and thinks they are very smart and
fun. She also says that Mrs.Baird did a
good job teaching them. On their first
spelling and fluency tests they did awesome! I am pretty sure the first grade class
likes Mrs.Harris. The first graders are doing great! I think Mrs.Harris knows that
they are going to be ready for next year!
Mrs. Norman’s Third Grade
By: Emma Norman
The third graders were shocked and excited
when they found out that Mrs. Norman was
their teacher again this year, but they didn't
mind. The students were working hard, but also
are having fun learning. In Social Studies, the
kids are studying and making maps. Guess
what they made a map about? Our very own
playground! In science they have been working
in their science notebooks and have been learning the rules for science. They are also reading
a great book called the Return of the Indian.
Keep up all the hard work third grade!
Fifth Grade:
By: Armando Granados
Ms. Jones’ 5th grade class has had a very good year so far. Fifth
grade is going to start studying their reading books this week. Ms.
Jones is expecting a very good year with 5th grade. In math with
Mrs. Goins, fifth grade is learning many new things including,
decimals, place value, and ordering numbers. Fifth grade is having
a great time this year!
Sixth Grade
By: Sam Selves
This year Mrs. Goins says that the 6th graders are doing fantastic already!
The 6th grade is very excited to be doing the newspaper this year. In math we are
learning about equivalent fractions. We are also learning how to turn decimals into
fractions, and fractions into decimals. We are loving math! In ELA (English Language
Arts) we are reading a lot. We love reading and we are very good at spelling. We play a
game that's called "Sparkle." It's a game where you basically just spell a word and if
you spell it wrong you are out, but that is ok, this class is fun to be in! In Social Studies
we are learning about the cultures, major cities, capitals, countries, and states, we are
also enjoying this class. For science we are learning about the periodic table, matter,
atoms, and how to use proper clothing and equipment. This class is very good like all the
others! We are having a wonderful time in 6th grade. Good job everybody!
