Dear Parents,

To encourage reading, it is important to visit the library often and to know your child’s reading level. For summer reading, you want to choose books that are at your child’s independent level. If you open the book to any page and the child misses three to five words on the page, it is not an independent reading level. It is also important to match books to the child’s interests. Set a specific time every day to read. Make the area quiet and comfortable. Create a routine. It is important for parents to encourage reading, listen to their child read, read with their child, and make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Let your child see you enjoying a book, as well. When you are checking out books for your child, make sure you are checking out a book for yourself too. A website of reading lists for all ages and book suggestions for parents is at http://www.readingrockets.org/books/. If I could leave one legacy to the children of the Southeast Warren community, it would be the love of books and the well ingrained habit of reading.

Mrs. Cooper, preschool teacher, extends an invitation to all children who will be three or four years old by September 15, 2012, to a Preschool Play Date on May 23rd from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the 4-year-old preschool room. Please tell your friends and neighbors!

Congratulations to the following first and second grade students who qualified to participate in our annual first and second grade spelling bee last Friday: Kloie Miller, Jordan Harrington, Emma Nady, Dominic Wadle, Cheyenne Wallace, Logan Montgomery, Cameron Dittmer, Zoey Sherman, Josie Hartman, Liberty Mitchell, Guinevere Mozak, and Abby Watt. Liberty Mitchell was our first place winner, with Cameron Dittmer finishing second. Liberty’s name will be submitted as the SEW Primary representative at the 2012 Iowa State Fair Spelling Bee. Cameron will be our alternate.

Yesterday the third graders toured the Intermediate building, met the teachers, and learned about fourth grade. While they were there, they had their spelling bee, competing against the fourth graders. Third grade participants included: Randy Jimenez, Tanner Dierking, Emily Thompson, Gabe Neer, Augustina Gavin, and Chris Montgomery. Fourth grader Diamond Mosley won that bee, and Ricky Harvey was the runner up. Congratulations to all of them!

The end of the school year is drawing near. Please remember to keep your family lunch account balance positive. From now until the end of the school year, students will not be allowed to charge meals unless there are funds in the account. Please make sure that all library books are returned by the last day of school.

The school board has appointed Dan Dow, who has served as the Intermediate principal for the past four years, as the preschool through 6th grade SEW principal for the 2012-2013 school year. I think you will find Dan very approachable and pleasant to work with.

This is my last newsletter. I am retiring as principal of the Primary building as of the end of this academic year. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the staff, students, and parents of the Southeast Warren community throughout the past sixteen years and look forward to spending more time with my family, reading, and tending the flowers in my yard. Wave when you drive by the house. You’ll make my day!

My best wishes to all of you. Thanks for all of the many kindnesses you have extended to me over the years!
