submitted by North Salem School With bullying issues continuing to make news headlines across the nation, the North Salem Elementary School started out the school year talking to students about this very important topic. This year, Mrs. Michelle Bedigian, LCMHC, Guidance Counselor for North Salem, talked to the students throughout the school about bullying. “We as a school want to be able to limit problems from starting and if there are problems, then we want to stop them. One of the ways that we can do this is by informing our students about not only the expectations of their behavior, but also what to do if they are affected by bullying.”


Some of the things discussed in the lesson were:


• Nonverbal cues to be aware of, such as facial expressions and tone of voice


• Bullying behaviors such as hitting, calling names, laughing and pointing when someone trips and falls, making fun of someone’s clothes, telling others not to let someone join in the game at recess, and rumor starting.


• Respectful behaviors such as inviting a new student to sit with you, being a good listener, getting a teacher when you see a student being hit or teased, and being kind to everyone and not just your friends.


• What to do if someone is being bullied or sees someone being bullied (tell the person to stop, get a teacher right away, not joining in if they see kids being teased). “We want to make sure that the students know that bullying is not accepted ever and that it needs to be brought to our attention right away so that we can help the students,” she said. There is a parent library at North Salem where books about bullying have recently been added both in story form as well as informational. The booklist is located on the school’s Website for your convenience.


Lancaster


submitted by Lancaster School The 2010-2011 school year promises to be an exciting one at Lancaster! Renovations are underway, and by this time next year, we will have a beautiful and spacious new school. September was a very busy month at Lancaster. The PTA kicked off the school year with the annual Back-to-School Ice Cream Social. Thanks to all the parents who came out on a very soggy evening for the Fall Open House, and thanks to all the students and parents who participated in our Fall Fundraiser. Mark your calendars for Family Fun Night on October 22. Come


enjoy pizza, games, and raffles. More information will be sent home with students soon. Also, please plan on attending the next PTA meeting, which will be held October 19 at 7 p.m. in the school library. There was a great turnout for September’s meeting with lots of new faces and great ideas for a successful year. Don’t forget to continue collecting Box Tops for Education, Campbell’s Labels for Education, and Tyson Project A+. Each classroom has a collection box, and each month, the classroom that

grade students eagerly anticipate a year of learning, fun, and growing. They look forward to reading chapter books, writing fiction and non-fiction stories, and learning to write in cursive.

Map skills have already been introduced and will be an important, on-going skill in the Social Studies area. Science will include study, making predictions, and constructing models.

Making new friends, learning to respect one another, and working as a team is already underway. Since learning is a life-long endeavor, it’s rewarding to hear students say “Learning is fun.” Once again, third-graders at the Barron School have the right attitude for a successful year. Barron School Kindergarten News Kindergarten is off to a wonderful start here at Barron School. Students are learning their daily routine, making new friends, and reading lots of books. Their days are filled with fun in learning. Students started learning a new letter of the alphabet each week. They learned all about apples and even tasted the different-color apples. Then, they graphed the results. Together, they read the story Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and made their own Brown Bear story books to read at home to their families. Students also have been working on recognizing their high-frequency words. In kindergarten, students feel

fortunate to get to go to the school library. They take out books once a week and keep them safe in their own library book bag. It was wonderful to have everyone visit the classroom again for Open House. Everyone was able to see the hard work that the children have been doing during their time in school. It was great to introduce Mat Man and Zero the Hero to everyone. The children loved having special visitors in the classroom on Grandparent’s Day. They read the story Abuela and made their own heart- shaped clouds with cotton balls. It was a very special day for the children. Barron teachers and staff are looking forward

A Salem resident, Angela’s animated storytelling weaves traditional world folktales, mythology, regional legends, and history with humor. Angela has earned national recognition, telling at festivals, museums, schools, and libraries across the country. There will be two separate storytelling sessions: Session 1
