PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGES
A. I WISH YOU ALL A
WONDERFUL, RELAXING AND SAFE SPRING BREAK!!! SEE YOU ALL ON MONDAY,
APRIL 7!!!
B. AFTER SCHOOL ISSUES: All students (unless
parentally supervised) are to be off campus by 3:00 PM. Because there
is no adult supervision before or after these times, there can be no
exceptions. Students still on campus after 3:00 PM will
be brought to the office and parents called to pick them up. The school
cannot take on the liability of having unsupervised students playing on
the yard after school. If you have daycare needs, please take advantage
of the private daycare facility on site: the Springhill KID's HIDEOUT at
283-7808. If you have business on campus after school, DO NOT send your child to the yard
to play unless you are willing to supervise your child and ONLY your child. Thank you for
your understanding and support.
C. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO
ATTENDED LAST SATURDAY's PFC PARENT PARTY/AUCTION. Thanks especially to
Stri & Larry Zulch who chaired and coordinated the many facets of
this fantastic evening; our MC, Bob Marrone; our Silent Auction
Auctioneer, Mr. Jack McCarthy; volunteer extraordinaire, Diana Mezetz;
all members of OPM, our musical entertainment for the night; and all
other volunteers who made the evening so special! Thank you all so
much!!!
D. Join the PFC! Register for
e-SCRIP!!
DIFFERENTIATION CORNER
*
Differentiated Instruction takes place in all of our classes. Each week,
we will be profiling a particular teacher's implementation of
Differentiated Instruction every week in the Friday Flyer. Don't miss
it!!!
In Mrs. Churchill's second grade classroom, the students
participate in book clubs. This allows the students to choose a book
they are interested in. They read it during class and participate in
discussions with small groups; just like an adult book group. The
children are able to self- select their books and the culminating
activity at the end of the book club.
*Differentiated
Instruction is not individualized instruction, but rather the delivery
of curriculum to students in a manner that complements their learning
style while always challenging them at their ability level.
PAY IT
FORWARD CORNER
Every week we will be including
different aspects of our Pay It Forward theme for this year in the
Friday Flyer. Character development should be a major component in any
well-rounded educational program and it has been for many years at
Springhill. Ask your children what their classes are doing for Pay It
Forward. Come to Spirit Wednesday, 8:30 AM every Wednesday morning in
the main courtyard and find out how we promote character development at
Springhill School. We do have a significant change in the Pay It Forward
program this year. If you are familiar with how this program was
originally designed, you know that all of the "pay it forward" efforts
remained anonymous in order to promote the altruistic and selfless
nature of the act. Although we will acknowledge all of the acts
themselves in the weekly Student Bulletin, at Spirit Wednesday and in
the Friday Flyer, we will no longer identify the specific students who
performed the acts. We are hopeful the enthusiasm for the program will
continue to be as strong as it has been the last several years with this
change. Thank you.
Keep up that PIF Spirit!!!
1. RAISING FUNDS FOR THE
SOTUBA SCHOOL IN MALI, WEST AFRICA: Thank you to the Student
Council and to all who participated in the QUENCHERS fund raiser
yesterday, Thursday, March 27, to address school supplies (especially
desks!) for the school in the village of Sotuba, outside of Bamako,
Mali, in West Africa. Thank you to the Candell family for sharing their
pictures and inspiring words about Sotuba at Spirit Wednesday! Paying it
Forward at Springhill School is local and global! Keep up the great
work!
2. PENNIES FOR
PATIENTS: We are
extending up our annual Pennies for Patients drive to benefit the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society one more week! Final coins will be
collected on the Friday of our return from Spring Break, April 11! Leave
that spare change in the collection box in each classroom and help find
a cure for Leukemia & Lymphoma!!!
3. THANK YOU TO MRS. JARVIS'
2nd GRADE for their
Pay It Forward efforts at providing "Bunny Bags" (bags with very special
eggs containing positive and inspiring words) for the Woodlands Nursing
Home. They were delivered last week and were much appreciated by the
residents! Well done, 2nd graders- -- way to pay it
forward!!!

Phonathon
News!!!
Donate Early and Avoid the
Call: As Lafayette's school districts face extreme budget
reductions, LASF plays a vital role in ensuring the continuation of our
ongoing academic programs that are essential to giving our children the
well-rounded education they so deserve.
There are several
ways to contribute to the cause:
1. Make your
pledge and payment online at www.lasf.org by April 25th.
2.
Make your pledge at school during Donation Day on Tuesday, April 22nd
(see info below)
3. Mail your pledge directly to LASF at P.O. Box
923, Lafayette, CA 94549 by April 25th.
All three of the above
will eliminate your receiving a phone call soliciting a donation.
Or, you may offer
your contribution when contacted by LASF volunteers during our annual
Phonathon (April 27th through May 6th).
Donation Day:
Bring your donation to school on April 22nd and not only will you avoid
the follow-up phone call by LASF volunteers, but your child will also
receive a free book at Bargain Book Bonanza! Look for more information
to follow in your child's Friday Folder.
Volunteers
Needed: We urge you to consider donating just a few hours of your
time to help in this worthy cause. This is it - the major fundraising
event for LASF so that it can fund programs for the 2008-2009 school
year. We need your help to make it happen. Please email or call
Springhill's LASF fundraising representative, Julie Novak at thenovaks@sbcglobal.net or
930-9435.

This Week in the Library
Thank you, thank you! I want to
begin with a thank you to all of you who purchased books by Mark Teague
when he visited Springhill last week. I got a credit from the
Storyteller for $111.00 for our library! That's enough to buy several
new books. Also a big thanks goes to those of you who donated money to
the library at the Springhill Parent Party. I received a check for
$70.00, which will allow me to buy some fun holiday bookmarks for two
holidays and keep two magazine subscriptions that I would have had to
cancel. I am so grateful for your generosity and I know that our
teachers and students are too.
Ta-dah! Let's have a
drum roll for the CYRM winners here at Springhill.
Primary - - - - -
- - - - - - Henry and
the Buccaneer Bunnies by Carolyn Crimi
Picture
Books for Older Readers - - - - - - - - - - Mr. Maxwell's

winners will be announced in May.
Did you know that the
spadefoot toad spends most of its year in its underground burrow but
when it hears and feels the vibrations of heavy rainfall it digs out of
its underground home? Kindergartners are learning about amphibians so
Gail Sayre's book Dig, Wait, Listen A Desert
Toad's Tale is a
perfect read. Not only did students learn about the spadefoot toad, they
also learned about its desert neighbors and the sounds the toad listens
to. Ask your kindergartner which sound she remembers and what made
it.
March is the month we focus on women's history and celebrate
the amazing things that so many women, often unsung, have done
throughout history. For example, did you know that it was a woman who
set the first American nonstop cross-country flying record back in 1916?
First graders heard Ruth Law Thrills a
Nation, the story of that record-breaking flight. Ask your first
grader if she succeeded in doing what she set out to
do.
Lighthouses have helped vessels at sea for hundreds of years,
warning sailors of coastal dangers, especially during terrible storms or
heavy fogs, and saving many lives. Until recently, lighthouses were
manned by keepers who had to keep the lights lit and clean without the
help of electricity, radar, or radio. Imagine a huge storm off the rocky
coast of Maine in 1856 and a lighthouse keeper who had left to get
supplies and oil for the lamps. Now imagine his young daughter left in
charge because her mother was ill. This is the exciting, and true, story
of Abbie Burgess, called Keep the Lights Burning,
Abbie. Ask your second grader what he thinks might have been most
frightening for Abbie during her long ordeal.
Third, fourth, and
fifth graders worked on almanac lessons this week. We reviewed what
information is in an almanac and how you use an index to locate what you
are looking for. These lessons help our students to learn not only about
almanacs but also how to read a question carefully to find out what they
need to answer, how to determine which words in the question are the
keywords to use in their search, how to decide whether they need to use
a more specific or a more general term to locate information, and how to
skim and scan text to find the answer they are looking for. These skills
are useful for test taking as well as for research.
New Books in the
Library
Have you ever wondered why we seem to hear about whales
being stranded more often than we used to? The Whale Scientists:
Solving the Mystery of Whale Strandingsby Fran Hodgkins follows the
work of scientists trying to determine if weather, the activity of the
sun, man-made noises or other factors might play a role in this
life-threatening behavior. Meticulously researched, this book includes
lots of photographs, a glossary, a list of sources, and resources for
further investigation. It's a fascinating read!
Happy Birthday
to our Author of the Week!
Dick King-Smith was born on March 27
in Gloucestershire, England. A farmer for many years, his books are
often about animals: "farmyard fantasy", as he likes to call it. King-
Smith enjoys writing for children, meeting the children who read his
books, and knowing that they enjoy his work. Among his many titles
are Babe: the Gallant
Pig; Martin's Mice; The Toby Man; The Water Horse; and Lady Lollypop. You can
check out all of these and many others either here or at the public
library.

We
must let our officials know that funding education is a priority to us.
Education is the key to our future. Letters are a way to express our
concerns. We've passed out over 300 sets of letters. These letters must
be turned in the office by 9 AM April 7th to be hand delivered that
week. If you haven't already signed and handed in your signed letters
please make sure you hand them in by 9 AM April 7th. Please get every
concerned potential voter you know to sign a set of letters; one needn't
have a student to share our concern about proper education
funding.
Copies of the letters are in my box in the office or you
can download them at:

Easter is over but chances are, the chocolate
is far from gone!
Some tips for curbing chocolate cravings. Is it too late
with Spring Break here this weekend? Help, I love chocolate!
*Eat something that
really doesn't go with chocolate. Like something garlicky. Or a dill
pickle.
*Fulfill your craving in a healthy way with, say, a small
glass of low-fat chocolate milk or hot cocoa.
*Do something else,
such as taking a walk. It will take your mind of the sweet stuff.
*Hide it. Or, if worst
comes to worst, throw it in the trash. Still tempted? Head over to Diet
Blog for some more tips, and make sure to share some of your
own!
Here is more information on how to curb the sweet
tooth!http://www.thatsfit.com/2008/03/26/some-tips-for-
curbing- chocolate-cravings/

Michael
Pritchard on Listen to What Your Kids Aren't Telling
You
Michael Pritchard is a nationally acclaimed
keynote speaker praised by The Wall Street Journal, CNN and Time for his
ability to use humor to inspire and educate audiences. In two Moraga
schools in September, he conducted deeply moving assemblies as our kids
opened up and talked about their lives with unusual candor and honesty,
broaching topics they rarely discuss with even their parents, teachers,
or counselors. Now he's back to share with us, as parents, stories that
will open our ears to hear our own children in a new way. Book signing
at conclusion of talk: Listen to What Your Kids Aren't Telling You is
available at Amazon.com. Childcare is available for children ages 4 and
younger by contacting Kathy Veitch by March 27th at kveitch@mvpctoday.org. Sponsored
by Moms' Council, The Nurtury, and MVPC Family Ministries. Join us Thursday, April 10 at 9:30
am in the Fellowship
Hall at Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church, 10 Moraga Valley Lane, Moraga
