    P RINCIPAL S M ESSAGE from Mr. Jacobs

    Volunteers Walpole School has a strong tradition of supportive, hard-working parents.Throughout the year, parents have the opportunity to develop that partnership in a wide variety of ways. Parents can join the PTG, volunteer in the classroom, help at school events, attend SiteBased meetings, read to their children and help in many other ways. It is important to your childthat you are involved in some way at school. Its a way to let your child know you think his or her school is important. We look forward to your involvement.

    Our PTG president, Melissa MacIntire, is always looking for additional help and isavailable to answer any questions you may have. She can be reached at [email protected] the school can help answer any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] .

    Routines As we begin a new school year, we find teachers/staff establishing school standardsand rules. In the most successful classrooms, teachers have established specific routines for thechildren to follow. This means giving the children a specific place to find and keep materials, aset schedule for classroom instruction, etc. These routines, blended with the teachers consistentstandards, form a smooth running classroom where the children have the security of understanding their environment and are reinforced positively for their contributions.

    At home, it is also important to provide routines. Many families build a daily quiettime when the television is turned off. This quiet time provides students the opportunity for completing schoolwork or for recreational reading if there is no homework. During this quiettime, a suitable place, somewhat free of other distractions, should be available. The routine of adaily quiet time provides an opportunity to develop self-discipline, stimulate imagination, andenhance reading skills.

    As families establish routines for the new school year, it is helpful to keep in mind thatchildhood is a special time of learning, exploration and growth. Children need to be providedfree time to explore their world and experience the joy of discovery. Hopefully, we can providetime for our children to be children. The realities of the adult world will be there all too soon.School and home can work together to build skills and knowledge, reinforce values, and developa strong sense of self-worth.

    Communication An important ingredient to a successful school year is good communication.Our newsletter, which you are reading, is one source of communication between school andhome. This newsletter is also posted on the schools website. When email address lists arecompleted, all school notices will be emailed to parents and/or hardcopies provided to thosefamilies that do not have email. Our districts website, sau60.org, has just been revised and has awealth of information. All K-8 parents have access to PowerSchool. With PowerSchool, parentshave access to lunch balances and daily school announcements. WES students also have gradesand attendance.

    Principals Coffee In an effort to be available to parents, I will be hosting PrincipalsCoffee. These coffee times will be held at 6:00 p.m. before the WPTG meetings. They will

    be informal gatherings that provide a forum for discussion about school events and news.The dates will be November 19, January 21 and March 18. Remember, you can also call or email me anytime.

    DECISION MAKINGChildren in the pre-teen years are very concerned about justice and fair play. They expect to rules and directions, andthey understand appropriate penalties for not following them. This is ideal time to begin providing simple and brief explanations about decisions and letting express their feelings about these decisions. While their reasoning powersare just beginning develop and their reactions may not be very logical, it is important to recognize their efforts andencourage continued decision making

    Children will feel loved and be less likely to question l imits or complain the rules are made to protect the rules are easily the rules are consistently the rules are appropriate for the age and recognize increasing maturity and willingness to the rules are made to help reach goals jointly set by parent and

    Parents are their children's first role models of good behavior even through the teen Especially for teens your actionsrather than your words are critical in helping your child good moral and ethical standards. Children who have positiverole models are more likely have higher self-esteem, do well in school, and less likely to use or abuse substances suchtobacco, alcohol or

    P RIMARY SCHOOL students are in the groove! The children are becoming accustomed to the routine of their classroomand school. The first graders are great role models for the younger kindergarten students. The children have enjoyed

    reuniting with friends. We witness new friendships being formed everyday. We look forward to working with allfamilies in helping their children to grow both academically and socially at WPS.

    JUST A FEW REMINDERS... *Each child is encouraged to have a water bottle at school. *Sneakers are a must for recess on the play structure, gym, and Mrs. Whippie.*Please continue to read to your child nightly.*Please check your childs folder daily.

    +SECOND G RADERS +are'off'to'a'great'beginning!''Students'have'been'working'on'increasing'their'automaticity'with'addition'and'subtraction'facts'through'20.''They'are'learning'about'life'cycles'and'understanding'that'all'living'things'go'through'stages'as' they' age.' ' Second' graders' have' also' been' working' on' increasing' their' independent' work' skills' by' reading' directions'thoroughly,'asking'students'for'assistance'and'trying'to'complete'a'task'before'asking'for'help.'

    F OURTH G RADERS have had a busy start to the school year! Students are working hard to learn their math facts withfluency. Many students have made extraordinary progress in earning their belts for our Karate Math challenge! Inaddition to practicing their facts, they've also begun working with geometric shapes and calculating area. Pretty soon,these mathematicians will be unstoppable! In reading, they have begun reading both fiction and nonfiction and practicingskills like making inferences, summarizing, and understanding story structure. Students are also enjoying books of their choice during Accelerated Reader time, and passing quizzes to show their understanding. When they aren't reading or

    practicing math, they are working on a unit of study in social studies focusing on maps and map skills. They can read,understand, and even create original maps themselves! We're looking forward to an exciting and busy October!

    F IFTH G RADERS have really adjusted nicely to the middle school schedule. We are working hard and learning a greatdeal about self-management, responsibility, organization, and personal growth. In 5R reading, we are learning about Dr.Martin Luther King by reading a biography. There is a considerable amount of vocabulary and history to absorb in thisunit. We are also working on vocabulary development in our Wordly Wise series. Mr. Cassarino's class has read severalstories from the basal series. Soon, they will be taking the challenge of reading a novel. Mr. C's class is also working onWorldy Wise for vocabulary development. In math, we have adjusted our program to meet the Common Core Standards.Many of those students who have older siblings might recognize that we are working out of Unit 2, which coversmultiplication, division with remainders, as well as area models (area), perimeter. There is also a basic overview of themetric system for measurement. Our social studies program has focused on map skills. We have reviewed map reading,map grids, hemispheres, cardinal directions, as well as continents and oceans. Additionally, students have been studyingthe U.S. Map, learning U.S. capitals, and focusing on U.S. physical geography. Our first big project will be a major reporton a state. Each student will study a state and prepare a project. An organized unit outline will be coming home soon.Science has been a busy subject this fall. We have taken on the responsibility for the gardens in the front of the school.We continued the job that our Fall Mountain High Schoolers started by weeding, pruning, and raking the gardens. After this, we laid down a layer of mulch. Finally, another area that we have been engaged in is harvesting. We have harvestedmany of the veggies from our garden. These have gone directly to the kitchen, and are eaten at lunch time! All of thisoutdoor work fits in nicely with our plant unit in the spring. A few of our students were able to help Mr. Stan and EloiseClark with the greenhouse! There is a lot of woodworking involved in this activity. We hope to have some winter gardening lessons this season. In the spring, we will be preparing the beds for planting, and will be looking for volunteers

    to assist us in this endeavor. Hooper science consists of learning about agriculture and environmental studies. Eloise hasdone three lessons with us. We have taken notes and learned about arthropods, insect life cycles, and even created bugzoo! (Of course, we let them go afterward.) We are also starting a research project with Mrs. Carla Boyington, our mediaspecialist. She is teaching us the research process. Each student is researching an arthropod and will be preparing a Power Point set of slides for their classmates. Currently, Mr. C's reading class is working on this. When they finish the research,Mrs. Boyington will work with Mrs. Ronning's reading class. This ties in very nicely with all the media/library skillsrequirements of the curriculum. We are also meeting our technology standards through this project! We still have manyother fun things going on in the fifth grade. Please stop by and visit our rooms!!!!!!

    SIXTH G RADERS worked on analyzing figurative language in poetry and theme in short fiction in Language Arts. Thestudents also learned to identify, analyze, and use sensory details and imagery in fiction and poetry. In addition, theyalso learned to identify the basic parts of a sentence.

    In math, sixth graders finished'up'working'on'factors'and'multiples.''Students'discovered'different'ways'to'find'the'GCF,' which' they' will' be' putting' to' use' in' our' next' unit' on' fractions!' Students' are' now' beginning' to' work' on'analyzing'fractions'and'creating'models'to'prove'equivalency.''In'science,'the'students'wrapped'up'static'electricity'by'testing'out'a'Van'de'Graaff'generator.''It'was'a'shockingly'good'time!

    SEVENTH G RADERS are finishing a chapter on linear models. They learned how to recognize the slope and y-interceptfrom a table, graph, word problem, equation, or recursive routine. Once they identified the slope and y-intercept, theylearned how to create a matching table, graph, equation, or recursive routine. They also learned how to substitute a valuein for the independent variable to solve for the dependent variable. Next week, we will be playing a game called Linear Models Memory where they will get to demonstrate these skills in the form of a matching game.

    In science, seventh graders began the year with an intro to Human Inquiry or the Scientific Process. After having gonethrough the parts of the scientific method, students have been designing and carrying out their own experiments on theeffect of exercise on heart rate, the dissolving rate of a lifesaver, and what effects the height of an Alka-Seltzer fueledrocket. Soon, we will investigate a series of variables in the always popular GAK experiment.

    Seventh grade Language Arts classes have also learned to identify, analyze, and use sensory details and imagery.Currently, these students are learning how to structure an essay by writing about their experiences at Camp Takodah.

    E IGHTH G RADERS did an activity where they rated different music videos on a scale of one to twenty as a culminatingactivity to a unit on analyzing data. We then used scatterplots, histograms, box and whisker plots and measures of centraltendency to decide which song the class preferred the most. We then watched a clip of the video that won.

    Science is off to a great start with the eighth grade this year. We are starting the year with Ecology and have been on two

    field trips so far: one to the Mill Pond to identify ecological relationships and one to the Cold River to do field researchanalyzing the health of that river. Students collected aquatic invertebrates and categorized them according to pollutionintolerant, somewhat tolerant, and pollution tolerant. They did a series of calculations including Total Density, TaxaRichness, EPT Richness, and % composition and from these, were able to statistically say that the Cold River is indeed ahealthy river. Gabrielle Anastasio and Raegan McAllister presented their findings to the Cold River Local AdvisoryCommittee. Their results were met with great enthusiasm.

    Eighth grade Language Arts students have just completed a unit on writing reports that incorporate research. Thesestudents used information from "Tips for Eating Healthy When Eating Out" from the United States Department of Agriculture's ChooseMyPlate.gov website to write an essay about making healthy choices when eating at a restaurant.

    games, and discussed how to have fun and be safe at recess.

    Grades 3 & 4: During September, I reminded students of my role as a school counselor and how to contact mewhen needed. We also did a team building activity and talked about friendships and kindness. Check out the

    bulletin board in the hallway at NWS to see a guidance activity done by our fourth graders after reading thestorybook, One.

    MEDIA R ATINGSIn today's world, it is very easy for children to have access to manytypes of media. It is not always easy, however, for parents to knowif the media children are using is age-appropriate or if the contentaligns with your family's beliefs.

    Commonsensemedia.org. is just theresource you need. According to itsmission statement, "Common SenseMedia is dedicated to improving thelives of kids and families by

    providing the trustworthyinformation, education, andindependent voice they need to thrivein a world of media and technology.We exist because our nation'schildren spend more time with mediaand digital activities than they dowith their families or in school,which profoundly impacts their social, emotional, and physicaldevelopment. As a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, we providetrustworthy information and tools, aswell as an independent forum, so thatfamilies can have a choice and avoice about the media they consume."

    To help you make these choices,listings include books, TV shows,movies, video games, websites, andapps. Each product is given threeratings: from the organization, from

    parents, and from kids. Each reviewexplains what age the title is mostappropriate for and why. Detailedratings are also provided for areassuch as educational value, positivemessages, positive role models,violence and scariness, sexy stuff, badlanguage, consumerism, and drinking,drugs, and smoking. At the end of each review are discussion questions,which you can use to further exploretopics as a family. With two childrenat home, my husband and I turn tothis resource quite often. I think youwill find it invaluable as well.

    WES G UIDANCE N EWS WITH M R . S TAN T HE M IDDLE SCHOOL G ARDEN is producing well this fall, even though weve been sidetracked with the construction of the high tunnel. We are pulling so many tomatoes out of the garden; the kitchen staff has to toss them into the freezer for future use. We are still eating bush beans that were frozen before the start of the school year, as well as some fresh ones.We have been harvesting peppers, acorn and butternut squash, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower for the lunch program.Pumpkins and a new crop of peas are coming along. Two beds of potatoes planted by Holly Gowdy were recentlyharvested for the school, and the Fall Mountain Food Shelf. Some local finches have been enjoying the sunflower seeds.A special thanks to Candy Fowle and Karen OBrien for doing such nice things in the kitchen with the things we grow.

    The high tunnel project was funded by a grant written by Eloise Clark of the Hooper Institute. She was able to secure several thousand dollarsfrom the Natural Resources Conservation Service to build a model hightunnel in a school garden. There have been so many people helping, butwe would especially like to thank Bill Chidsey, MaryEllen Cannon,John Treat, Brian Shriver, Nick Zachary, Holly Gowdy, Rebecca Sethiand Sara and Dave Beauregard for their help and advice along the way.Our students have been involved in setting the foundation posts,erecting the frame, and framing and sheathing the end walls. We will

    be doing some more work through the fall and into winter and spring.

    Meanwhile, the Garden Club has planted hardy greens that well beharvesting through winter. Anyone interested in helping with our garden, and future plans, please call me at the school.

    T HE SEVENTH G RADE has returned from Camp Takodah.For almost a week they practiced cooperative work ingroups, handling all sorts of crazy challenges thrown atthem by Takodah staff. Our students paddled huge war canoes in sync, swam and kayaked in Cass Pond and took on the low and high ropes, walking across cables and logsthirty or more feet in the air, and zipping over the lake.The weather was perfect all week, and especially for our

    Friday visit to Tracies Farm in Fitzwilliam, where wecleaned out cucumber and summer squash plantings andlearned about commercial organic farming. By 11:30AM, the seventh grade was climbing Mount Monadnock.Every one of the students who started up this year made itto the top. A great time was had by all, as well as a lot of

    personal learning and growth. Thank you to all the parents who came out to help with overnights and the climb. They are:Dwight Buckley, Jackie Casserta, Harry Clark, Shanda Donovan, Robert Gay, Melissa MacIntire, Nealia and Daniel Martinez,Amy Michaud, Christine Prentiss, Dave Read, Holly Vaine and Stacy Wilbur. You made our job a whole lot easier!

    T HE L AST F ALL NECAP TESTS are scheduled to begin soon. Fifth graders will test twice a day in 90 minute sessionsfrom October 8 th -11 th. Students in grades 6-8 will test the following week. Tests will assess student progress in reading,

    math, and writing. As NECAP testing fades away in these three areas, the new Common Core will soon be upon us.More on this in the near future. Classroom guidance and small groups at the middle level will begin in earnest, after

    NECAP testing is done, in late October.

    P ARENTS P LEASE T AKE NOTE : Academic support is available to all students in grades 6-8 after school, and during studyhall periods. Teachers and/or advisors are making sure that students show up for extra help when needed, but please

    parents , use your PowerSchool connection to keep tabs on your childs academic progress, and contact specific teacherswhen you become aware of specific problems. It is much, much easier to remediate academic difficulties as they present,than after weeks, or months of struggle. Being continually aware of your childs progress in each of the middle schoolsubject areas is a serious parental responsibility. Teachers cannot do it alone.

    North Walpole students enjoying the new "gagaball" pit during recess. Thank you to the WPTG forpurchasing the supplies and to Brian Shriver forvolunteering his time to build it. The kids love it!

    Below is a poem that was used as a reflective tool at campthis year and its wisdom is not just for middle school kids.

    R ISKING To laugh is to risk appearing unconcerned.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

    To express your independenceis to risk losing your friends.

    To trust othersis to risk being taken advantage of.

    To make a decisionis to risk making a mistake.

    To admit a mistakeis to risk losing the respect of others.

    To reach out to another is to risk involvement.

    To show feelingis to risk exposing your true self.

    To place your ideas,

    your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.

    To live is to risk dying.To try at all is to risk failure.

    Far better it is to dare,even though at times checked with failure,than to live in that gray twilight of security

    that does not knowthat to risk, to love, to care mainly just to be you is one of

    lifes greatest treasures that of becoming real.For it is when we are real that we have the most to give,

    the most to love.And it is through risking that we can grow to becomethe realities that we are meant to be.

    Reach out risk and only thenwill the joys of life be yours.
