“Mastering” the
Connecticut Mastery Test
As you read through this
month’s newsletter, you can
see that our teachers have
been hard at work in
providing challenging and
engaging
instructional
opportunities
for
your
children. We continue to
provide lessons to strengthen
your child’s skills in many
areas, and you can help by
asking your children about
the work that they do at
Keigwin each day and by
finding ways to have your
children use their academic
skills at home; reading
stories, discussing current
events, and using recipes
(fractions are fun!) are all
ways to make connections
between school and home. In
approximately four weeks,
our students will be involved
in the Connecticut Mastery
Testing. The purpose of this
test is to assess student
proficiency in mathematics,
reading
and
writing.
Teachers have been working
hard to provide your children
with the instruction and
assistance needed to develop
their skills, and we have
stressed to the students that
their continued diligence is
the most important part of
achieving success. As we
prepare to support our
students on these upcoming
assessments, I am asking that
our
parent
community
commit to joining us in
helping your children toward
achieving their best. First, be
sure that your child arrives Inside this issue:
at school on time. Students
who are continually late miss

Assistant Principal’s Message - Mr. Jeff Fournier
Dear Keigwin Students,
Parents, and Guardians,
During the month of
February, Keigwin Middle
School is celebrating Black
History Month in our
classrooms with music, art
and by reading and writing
about the accomplishments
of African Americans. So
often forgotten or ignored in
the past, this month helps us
recognize the people of
African descent who have
made lasting contributions to
our lives and country.
For example, did you
know that Phillis Wheatley,
at the age of thirteen and still
a slave, became the most
famous female poet of the
18th century in England?
Did you know that Matthew
Henson was the first man to
1
Black history is our
American history. Carter G.
Woodson, the historian
responsible for this
celebration expressed in 1926
the hope that “instruction in
the accomplishments and
equality of races may bring
about a reign of brotherhood
through an appreciation of the
virtues of all races, creeds,
and colors.” We at Keigwin
Middle School celebrate both
that hope and the diversity of
our students.
It is even more appropriate
and noteworthy to remember
a historical milestone with the
election of our current
President Obama as our first
black President.
As we
r e c ogni ze t he s e gr e a t
Americans of African
descent, may we also use
them as role models which we

A Team News—Ms. Coyne & Mrs. Ballachino, Team Leaders
Team A News: A Team teachers hope
everyone had a great winter break and
got some time to relax and enjoy family
time. It appears that Mother Nature
thinks we need more time off! In
between snow days, A team students
have been working hard in their studies.
However, we have noticed that some
students are not completing their
homework. We are asking parents to
please check your children’s assignment
books for homework assignments and to
ask your children to show you their
completed homework. Thanks so much
for your help!
World Cultures: This month in World
Cultures, we have been finishing up (or
at least trying in between our snow
days!) our interdisciplinary project
researching historic United States
events. The students learned about the
research process with Mrs. Ballachino
and used that knowledge to explore
various resources and to find important
information about specific historic
events. Then students synthesized this
research to determine the political,
social and economic effects their
events had on the American people.
Students were also pushed to think
about what their lives would be like if
these events had never happened.
Students are currently working on trifold board display of their findings;
my C-period class is using an on-line
poster program "Glogster." We hope
to take our final projects and create a
museum exhibit: "Peek into the Past
and Forge into the Future." We would
like to invite families to join us in
celebrating the students' hard work
and to see their wonderful projects.
Keep your eyes out for a flyer with
more information about this event!
Math:
A Team math students
continue their study of fractions. We
are currently multiplying mixed
numbers. We will be starting a unit
on percents followed by a geometry
unit. All classes will be taking the
state benchmark math test in the
computer lab within the next two
weeks.
Language Arts:
LA classes
completed both their poetry unit and a
review of the expository essay these
past few weeks. Over the next several
weeks, students will focus on
improving their reading skills by
learning about the importance of
inference and making connections.
These strategies will be reviewed in
conjunction with the reading of several
biographical sketches. Character traits
that are common to heroic figures will
be studied as well. Finally, please
remind your children to keep reading
every night!
Science - Starting on January 3, 2011,
we began the Properties of Matter unit.
I want to stress the importance of being
able to calculate the mass and volume
of a substance! Soon, we will be
moving into the concept of density.
Density equals mass divided by
volume. Not understanding how to
find mass and volume could cause
confusion in upcoming units, such as
T Team News—Ms. Tanasi, Team Leader
Language Arts -”Books Open The
Doors To Discovery!” Any students
who have read at least one CT Nutmeg
Book are asked to vote for the best CT
Nutmeg Book Award. During this third
term we will focus our independent
reading books on biographies, so
students can write stronger written
reading responses to CMT Strand C on
their connections. Some students are
doing an excellent job; however, others
need to improve their responses. Some
students need to replenish their pencil
supply or get another 70 page writing
journal. They are continuing to
proofread their writing using their
editing skills as they write their journals
and expository essays. We encourage all
students to participate in Silent Sounds,
which should be typed and handed into
Mrs. Hubbard or Ms. Tanasi by the end
of the month. This writing piece must
be reviewed with students’ language
arts teacher before being submitted to
this writing contest. They can write a
short story, poem (minimum 12 lines),
Page 2
or personal/formal essay.
Math - In math class students have
been working very hard with
fractions. We have just finished
adding and subtracting fractions with
like and unlike denominators and are
now moving into adding and
subtracting mixed numbers. It is
extremely important that students
continue to do their homework, as
it reinforces the skills we learn in
class. I would like to say thank you to
all the students and families who were
so kind to give me gifts before the
holiday break. Your kindness is much
appreciated!
Students, please make sure to
practice your math skills over
February break.
Science - Students in Miss
Bielefield’s science classes are now
learning about “Matter”. They will
learn about topics from density to
atoms to the elements and the periodic
table. Miss Bielefield is also in the
beginning stages of planning a science
fair for students to take part in. Officer
Derek Puorro will also start the DARE
program with T Team students.
World Cultures - T Team students
finished the unit on Immigration with a
presentation
of
immigrant
interviews.
They
were
quite
successful. Some students dressed as
immigrants and some acquired accents
to accurately portray these interesting
people. Some students earned extra
credit or super work cards by
sewing flags or cooking foods from
their ethnic backgrounds and sharing
them with their classes. The students
found our virtual tour by Victoria
Confino of 97 Orchard Street, NYC, to
be very informative. Victoria was a 13
year-old immigrant who lived in the
tenement and "told" us about her life
through an interactive game via
www.tenement.org We are now
studying the economics of the US,
which will lead us into our study of the
Great Depression.
Keigwin Middle School
K Team News—Mrs. Adams, Team Leader
World Cultures - Just when you
thought it couldn't get any colder..........K
team W.C. students will be taking a
"virtual trip" to Canada! Bundle
up! From the Canadian Rockies to the
shores of the Great Lakes, students will
explore the history, culture, and
geography, of our northern neighbor. To
help support students with their learning
and making real world connections,
please watch the news or read the
newspaper with them. Ask students what
they know about the people and places in
Canada. Please discuss any current
events that relate to Canada. As always,
thank you for your continued support and
encouragement of our K team
students! We are very proud of them!
Language Arts - We are off to a bumpy
start in 2011 as Mother Nature has given
us this wintery heaven! However, our
students are still hitting the books with
the same fury as this winter has had. In
the shortened month of January, your
child has been working hard on creating
powerful
essays
by
including
elaboration. In class, we are learning a
variety of strategies and techniques to
help students write and use more detail.
We are also banning words from their
writing so that dull words are replaced
with more vivid, exciting words. Please
ask your child to use stronger vocabulary
in their everyday language. For example,
when your child asks you to do
something “fun” because they are
“bored,” you can ask them for some
synonyms. If they can’t come up with
any, then they can continue to be “vexed
with boredom.” Hopefully by doing this,
they will see just how powerful words
can be!
Heading into February, we are also
continuing with independent reading, but
will not be requiring reading logs over
the next few months. Please check your
child’s agenda book or the K Team
website for updates on homework and
special events. Even though we are not
giving the students reading logs each
week, we want to reiterate the
importance of completing homework!
They will have assignments every day.
If they work hard at these, it will be
clear, that they will do fine in this new
year!
Science – K team students in science
have started the Matter unit! Students
are studying about the different phases of
matter and what certain phase changes
are called.
Students are also
differentiating
between
physical
changes and chemical changes as well
as learning about and calculating
density using a special density formula.
In labs, students will be determining
densities of regular objects (such as a
cube), irregular objects (such as a
faucet
nozzle),
and
liquids.
Congratulations to December Students
of the Month Nyasia Roulhac, Amber
Martinez, and Julia Magnano! All
necessary paperwork for Students of
the Month is due by the end of the
month. K Team encourages ALL
students who meet the requirements to
be Students of the Month!
The
Bushnell Field trip to see Star Trek
will be Friday, February 4.
Math - students in Ms. Brzuska's
classes are finishing working on
adding, subtracting and multiplying
fractions and mixed numbers. In the
next couple of weeks students are
going to learn about probability,
different types of graphs as well as the
properties of polygons. Please make
sure that your child completes
homework every night and reviews
multiplication and division facts. I
Health & Wellness—Mrs. Barone, R.N.
In February, letters will be going out
with report cards informing parents of
physical exam requirements that need to
be completed prior to the end of this year
so that your child will be allowed into
W.W.M.S. Each letter will be specific to
that
student’s
needs
for
state
requirements. If you have any questions
regarding the letter, please call the nurse
at 860-632-2433. If you DO NOT have a
letter attached to your child’s report card
it means that your child has completed
all State Of Ct. requirements and nothing
more is needed.
Please remember that if your child is
ill with a fever, they will need to be fever
free for 24 hours before returning to
school. Also, please remember to CALL
the school FIRST THING IN THE
MORNING to inform us that your child
will be absent or late. The absent days
remain UNEXCUSED DAYS if the
parent does not call their child out.
Cough Drops: In order for your child
to carry cough drops in school please
submit a hand written note stating that
you give permission for your child to do
so. This is a directive from our school
physician, Dr. Joseph Havlicek.
Please feel free to contact me at any
time with questions or concerns you
may have.
MONTHLY HEALTH HINTS:
February is National Heart Month.
Remember to limit television, video
games and computer time which may
lead to a sedentary life style and
excessive snacking which increases
the risk for obesity and cardiovascular
disease. ENCOURAGE PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY THAT YOUR CHILD
ENJOYS!!!

World Language students will change
languages: students in Spanish will move
to French; students in French will move
to Spanish. We are very excited to start
our new classes and look forward to
meeting our new students.
In the next month or so, I will be
sending letters home asking you and your
child to make a World Language

Art—We are halfway through our 60
day cycle. Slowly, in between snow
days we are finishing up our metal
tooling project. We have just about
finished our masks. The masks show
invented texture, line design, variation,
pattern, movement, and unity. The metal
tooling project is based on Real or actual
texture. Texture you can feel. We
again use drawn invented line designs
that when transferred to metal take on
a different meaning. The kids are
doing well and hopefully we will finish
all we need to before term ends. Mrs.
Meehl
Computers—The computer classes
have begun looking at Microsoft
Publisher. The students have been
researching an animal on the Internet
and they will use their research to
create an informational brochure in
Publisher. Once completed, we will
begin looking at Excel.
All the
students have been doing an
outstanding job. Mr. Doran
Odyssey—It may be cold outside but
things are heating up in Mathletics as
the Olympic games have officially
begun. Mathletes are competing in
the Math Olympics with Eastern and
Western Hemisphere vying for the
gold medal.
As teams compete, creative problem
solving is taking place,
mathematical intuition and skills are
being strengthened and diverse
thinking is demonstrated through daily
math challenges.
Stay tuned for the results of the
Math Olympics 2011! Mrs. Hall
Band—All Keigwin Band members
have received band music that we will
be practicing and performing in the
spring. Band arrangement MP3s can
be found on the Keigwin Band web
page: Arr/Rec 2010-2011 Students are
encouraged to download the MP3slisten, follow along, learn their parts
and practice along.
Reminders: Band instruments should
NOT be left in school over night! ID
should be put on instrument cases,
sticks & band music folders. Daily
performance,
preparation
and
participation weigh heavily into the
KB and report card grade.

Scholars in Action After School Program— Mr. Rob Arpin
Scholars in Action February
Scholars will continue to work on
their Initiation of Scholars activities into
February due to all of the time lost in
January from the snow. This is a process
by which students are empowered to
learn about themselves and students and
what it takes for them to achieve success
in school. Students participate in a series
of discussions and teambuilding
activities to develop teamwork, problem
solving and interpersonal skills. This is
an exciting time for your students! The
process will wrap up with a Ceremony
of Commitment that will take place on
February 9, 2011 at 5:30 in the
auditorium. We hope to see everyone
there!
Look out for us on TV!!!
Starting in February, a group of ten
students will have the opportunity to
learn about television and video
production. Through this choice
enrichment activity, students will shoot
footage of happenings in our
afterschool program and at Keigwin.
With the help of high school mentors
who have taken these classes, students
will be putting together a news
broadcast. We hope to air the final
productions on public access.
Students in the Fire group participate
in a group activity where they have to
line up in order of age with out
speaking. Students are sharpening their
problem solving and non-verbal
communication skills.
