2E COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL November 25, 2015 School-by-school reports cont. Students at Dorena School kicked off the start of the Ef- fective Behavior and Instruc- tional Support program with a fi eld day at Grove Christian Camp. Activities for the day emphasized team building and an opportunity to practice the Panther EBIS rules away from school. Students at Dorena know that success is built upon a com- munity of learners who practice fi ve EBIS expectations: Be safe, Be respectful, Be respon- sible, Be Here, and Be Gritty. Students are awarded Pride Panther Bucks for excellent be- havior. The school also teaches a “savings” plan where students bank bucks for future purchases at the student store. At the end of the year, students use their Pride Bucks savings to attend a spring Field Day at the Grove camp in May. Numbers Talk Teachers at Dorena have formed a PLC team to practice strategies that get to deeper conversations regarding math. Teachers are working with Marcia Trujillo to take prac- tices of Sherry Parrish’s book, “Numbers Talk,” into the class- room. After experience the lessons with students, teachers are given the opportunity to discuss their experiences with each other. Teachers will meet with Trujillo regularly over the course of the year. Harrison Elementary the day! Mrs. Nice will be kick- ing back and relaxing that day! Students will continue fundrais- ing with a bowl-a-thon and a Bingo and Dinner Night this winter. Those who would like to support Harrison Outdoor School can contact Allison Lil- lard at 541-942-3389. Latham Elementary Harrison’s three classes of fi fth graders have just completed their fi rst fundraiser by selling candy bars in the community. For every dollar’s worth they sold, the students earned $1 of Bobcat Bucks for an auction. Students have to budget their funds to purchase the items they want most. One of these awesome students will be pur- chasing the right to be “Princi- pal for the Day” and run all of our Bobcat Blitz assemblies for SUPPORTING NEWSPAPERS IN EDUCATION Thank you to the following supporters: Little Library Technology is making an impact In kindergarten, Linda Pabst is having her students utilize SeeSaw, on online portfolio and a multimedia journal that empowers students to showcase what they’re learning at school. Throughout the school year, Seesaw builds an organized, digital portfolio of each student’s learning, accessible by teacher, student and parent. Seesaw also keeps parents in the loop by giving them a real- time, personalized glimpse into their child’ s school day, via automatic iOS or Android app notifi cations, text message or email. In addition, two Latham teach- ers are utilizing DonorsChoose to receive more IPads for students to access other apps to foster learning in their class- rooms. One of these teach- ers has used her IPad to have students do a story retell for the weekly story while learning to use the I-Movie app to record their retell. London School Paying for Outdoor School EA Patti Hardy, and Principal Bill learning about the program and practicing the instructional routines. These three folks met with second-grade teacher Deb Henderson and EA Sylvia Wege on Nov. 5 to share what they learned and to plan how to effectively implement the sup- port program. Enhanced Core Reading Instruction ECRI is an evidenced-based reading program developed at the University of Oregon designed to augment South Lane’s reading adoption, “Journeys.” Thanks to Jackie Lester’s efforts and Superin- tendent Parent’s support, Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 materials and training in the program have been provided for K-2 teachers. The training on Oct. 22 saw K/1 teacher Mina Christianson, London’s new Little Library has been on site since Septem- ber, but the school offi cially christened the wonderful di- minutive repository of literature Oct. 27. Local Ford Institute project lead Don Strahan was on hand to talk with the third graders who decorated our little building, and Garrett Bridgens was out to be sure plenty of pictures were taken. Kids were excited about their contribution and immediately dug into the collection when all was said and done! Lincoln Middle School Students at Lincoln Middle School recently had the oppor- tunity to see how 3-D printers work. Casey Kerns’ math class was taught fi rst-hand by Dustin Kerns, a former student at Oregon Institute of Technology, an employee of a 3-D printer company, and, best of all, Casey’s brother. Dustin gave a presentation on the array of possibilities of 3-D printing. Students were amazed by the objects that could be created using 3D printers. As a parting gift, Dustin gave each student a cube, which was made using the 3-D printer. Most 3D print- ers are used for engineering, but they are becoming more widely used in the medical fi eld as well. At Lincoln Middle School, the technology is being used in its Lego Robotics class, where a printer called “The Cube” is being used to make rocket parts that then are tested to see which ones fl y faster.
