Learning Target:
We can use technology as a tool to share our thinking while reading a nonfiction article.

During a "Group Share" time, students participate, listen, make comments, and ask questions about our learning. It is a time to be reflective and think about how our choices impact our daily learning. Here are some pictures from a recent MATH GROUP SHARE.
September Newsletter
- Longfellow Elementary has MET EXPECTATIONS on the most
recent State Report Card. We are proud of our staff, students and
families. A letter explaining more is attached.
- Longfellow Elementary has been named a DPI School of Recognition AGAIN! We will celebrate in Madison on October 13th. This is a huge accomplishment for our school community. CONGRATS!
- Thanks to Mrs. Anderson and Macys for our books to take home through the RIF book donation! WOW! (see picture)
- Please work to complete the process of signing up for
your student's Apple ID account. If you have not completed this
process, a teal form was sent home in your child's folder. I have
also attached copies of the form to this message. Please complete
the form and return to school ASAP. This process allows your child
to access Apps on his/her Ipad. Contact Michelle Hennings (ex.
4330), our Tech Integrator, with questions.
- PFSS (Parenting for School Success) program continues
on Tuesday nights from 5:30-7:00pm. Sept. 23 and Oct. 7 will be held
at IRVING ELEMENTARY. Sept. 30 will be held at Longfellow - our
topic will be Reading. If you have not turned in a RSVP form, please
contact Vicki Cota at cotav@wawm.k12.wi.us. Dinner and childcare are
provided.
- Wednesday is Stand up to Bullying Day. We will be
doing special activities with students this week in support of our
anti-bullying efforts at Longfellow. (see picture of our pledge)
- Communicate with your child's teacher about getting
parent email access to Class DOJO. This program tracks student
progress towards meeting our PBIS expectations of Respect Self, Respect
Others, Respect Environment. It is meant to inform parents about
having a specific conversation with their student - asking your student
things like, "Great job respecting self in Art class - how did
you do that?" or "What happened this afternoon when you did not
respect the environment? What will you do differently
tomorrow?" are perfect ways to increase home-school
communication.
- The Longfellow Elementary PASS program will begin on
Tuesday, September 30th. Students invited to the program will
receive a purple permission slip this week. Please sign and return
the form if you want your child to participate.
Have a wonderful week!

W.O.W Words
W.O.W Words - Words Of the Week
Our school-wide words this week were
DESCRIBE and DETAILS.
During art class with Mrs. Ragner, students applied their knowledge of these words DESCRIBING flowers by Georgia O'Keeffe and adding DETAILS to their own flower designs.
Our school-wide words last week were
COMPARE and CONTRAST.
We read and discussed different versions of the fairy tale, "Three Little Pigs". We used a Venn Diagram to COMPARE and CONTRAST the text.
