Announcing the PBIS Check-In, Check-Out Program
The PBIS Check-In, Check-Out (CICO) program is designed for students whose behavior
may be getting in the way of their school success. Based upon data, a child who is nomi-
nated for CICO is paired with a coach who meets with the child twice daily. We will be ini-
tiating this program at Woodview School with a few select students beginning in January,
2012.
In the morning, the coach meets with the student, reminds them of expected behaviors and
gets their day started on a positive note. The coach gives the student a point sheet that they
will show to each of their teachers at the end of each period. The teacher’s role is to
pre-prompt for expected behaviors at the start of the class and to rate the student’s behavior
as an “area to work on”, “okay”, or a “great job!” at the end of class.
In the afternoon, the coach meets with the student and reviews the student’s performance for
that day and provides them with feedback to assist them with improving their performance.
The student takes a copy of the report home for their parent to sign and return the next day.
Every two weeks, the CICO team reviews each student’s data and assesses their progress.
The program is designed for students to gradually be able to self-monitor their behavior and
to be phased out of the program over time.
Students who participate in this program will benefit from increased adult attention, frequent
feedback, additional positive reinforcement, and increased home to school communication.
If your student has been nominated for this CICO program, you will be notified by Pam
Marks, the PBIS Coordinator at Woodview School.

STAY HEALTHY THIS FLU SEASON
TIPS FROM THE D46 HEALTH COORDINATORS
To help keep illnesses and flu to a minimum, we are asking that all students and families follow
these simple steps:
1. PLEASE keep sick children home from school until they are fever free for 24 hours without
medication, such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin). A fever is considered above 99.5
degrees, and their cough should be gone!
2. Teach your children to COVER THEIR COUGHS and wash hands often. Hand sanitizers are
also effective.
3. The CDC recommends that ALL school-age children receive flu vaccinations. Seasonal flu
vaccines are available now.
4. Prepare in advance. Have alternative childcare providers available if you cannot stay home or
pick up your sick child at school. Sick students cannot remain at school!
5. PLEASE report your child’s absence to school and tell us if you suspect flu. (just saying “sick”
doesn’t help us track illness trends in classrooms.)
6. Make sure we have current phone numbers to reach you and your emergency contacts.
Steve Feldman Woodview School Physical Education/Health teacher [email protected] (847)-223-3668 ext.5914
The 3rd and 4th graders have been going through fitness stations as well and have been doing a great job of it. Next week we are going to teach them about health. Some topics will be: Why eating healthy is important, why it is important to exercise, other ways to exercise besides playing physical activities, and many more interesting topics for young children to learn about.
P.E. UPDATE
Over the past several weeks, the kindergartners, 1st graders and 2nd graders have been working on their throwing and catching skills. They have been learning to throw all different shapes and size balls. They also have been doing different fitness stations and understanding why fitness is so important. Let's hope they bring home some ideas of fitness and use them at home!
NOTES FROM THE MUSIC ROOM
Hello Woodview families!
The Spring Concerts for 1st-4th grade are coming up in April! Full Day Kindergarten is up and moving. We are moving and singing to develop body awareness, and beat competency. Students are working together and performing a few folk dances. This will help the class work to-gether to perform as an “ensemble” later in the year. First grade is continuing sing with “solfege” (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do). In addition to using solfege, your student is playing instruments as a soloist in classroom games. This is teaching them how the independent musician fits in with the group to make music. The concert dates are posted below. Please mark your calendars. Second Grade is starting to work in small groups to create music. This is tapping into their individual creative side, while showing me their understanding of classroom concepts. The concert dates are posted below. Please mark your calendars. Third grade is continuing their work with recorder. Please find a place for your students to practice at home for at least 10 minutes a day! They are just working on 3 notes (B-A-G), so when they get comfortable with that, 3rd grade recorder will be easy! Remember, The number one issue is the holes on the recorder are not covered properly. The number two issue is blowing too hard. The concert dates are posted below. Please mark your calendars. Fourth Grade is still playing recorder, and starting to use it as an ensemble instrument in class. Fourth graders should know and be comfortable with playing 5 notes on the recorder (G, A, B, C, D). We will play xylophones, drums, and recorders all together in class. Please read the third grade message above if your students are still struggling with recorder! The concert dates are posted below. Please mark your calendars. Mark your calendars: The 3rd and 4th grade concert this year is Thursday April 12th at 7:00 pm The 1st and 2nd grade concert this year is Thursday April 26th at 7:00 pm Please check my website after winter break for updates, and lyrics for the concert! http://www.d46.k12.il.us/~smithtyler/SmithMusicClass/Home.html Please e-mail if you have any questions!

Art News
I am always looking for more parent volunteers to help out in the art room at various times throughout
the year. If you are interested in helping please contact me at [email protected].
There are different supplies that the art room is always looking for: Baby wipes, pencils, glitter, kids
treats and prizes, masking tape, large zip lock bags, tissues, washable markers.
Kindergarten
The students are combining all that they learned from the first few lessons. They learned about
different types of lines, and about different types of shapes, geometric shapes and organic shapes. With their
knowledge of lines and shapes, they will be creating an abstract picture of a person. The students looked at
the artist Joan Miro for inspiration to create the project.
First Grade
The students are doing a continuation lesson from the first project. In the first lesson, they learned
about the artist, Wassily Kandinsky and how his artwork is inspired by music. The students learned that Kand-
insky’s artwork is abstract.
The students listened to music and drew how they felt about the music with lines and shapes. While
listening to the music, they needed to choose the color they felt went along with the song. They were
challenged to make their artwork look abstract.
Now they will be choosing their favorite abstract picture and enlarging it for this next lesson. The
students are introduced to a new art media, paint.
Second Grade
The students are finishing learning all about the cultural celebration of “The Day of the Dead” or “Dia
De Los Muertos.” The students listened to a story all about that day and learned about some of the food that
is made, some Spanish words, and the cultural activities that are done on The Day of the Dead. The students
learned that The Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrating the life of past loved one, honoring the spirits. The
students created their own sugar skull and decorated it with flowery shapes and designs. The Second Graders
will be using a new art media, chalk pastels, to decorate their artwork.
Third Grade
The students are finishing learning about the artist, Georges Seurat, and how he created the art style
called Pointillism. The students learned that Seurat loved going to the circus to get his inspiration for his
artwork. The students drew their own circus animals and used the pointillism technique to fill their artwork
with color. The third grade will also learn about color blending and how one color looks like next to another
color. After the students paint their circus animals, they will create a poster to advertise their animal so people
will come see it in the circus.
Fourth Grade
The students are finishing learning about the artist, M. C. Escher, and how he created the art style
called Tessellations. The students looked at several artworks done by Escher to inspire them to create their
own tessellation. This is a cross disciplinary lesson that teaches the students about art and math. The Fourth
Graders needed to use their imagination to come up with a picture for their tessellation and make it into a
pattern.

Our 2011-2012 Market Day grocery
fundraising program is underway!
Clip & save Tyson Project A+ labels.
Turn in the labels to school. Your
school redeems them for cash. Each
label is worth $.26.
Here is another way to earn money for
Woodview. Simply clip the Box Tops
from your favorite General Mills
products and send them to school with
your child!
Chef Tony says, “”Brrrr,
soups and other hot meals
from Market Day are sure
to warm you through and
through this winter. Check
out the new flyer!”
Did you know that Woodview
collects Campbell’s soup labels? The
labels are worth points and must have
the UPC code in order to be used. The
points can be redeemed for books, gym
equipment, and other items for our
school. Each teacher has a box in the
classroom to collect labels and box tops!
In this season of gratitude and giving, I'd
like to personally thank all who have
supported our Market Day grocery
fundraiser this fall, be it by ordering
products or by volunteering your time in
support of our sales. Special thanks this
month to Woodview School and to their
large number of volunteers. Extra special
thanks to Cyndie Fidanze, Sharon Wilson,
Irena Braun, the Avon PTO board, and to
Stephanie Weatherly who are the district's
individual school Market Day chairs. A
final thanks to Sue Walker and Janine
Adams, the Meadowview secretaries who
help us out behind the "Market Day
scenes." This fundraiser wouldn’t run as
smoothly as it does if it weren't for the
efforts of all of those mentioned above. A
final note...Remember-our MD sales are
monthly; our first sale of 2012 will be
January 21st. Look for the January flyer to
come out after winter break. Hope to see
you at a sale soon!
