PTA NEWS
Come out TONIGHT to unmask our MASKED READERS! This event will be in the CES cafeteria from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Bring blankets and food to have a picnic dinner while we unmask our readers. There will also be packaged snacks available. This week students watched videos of faculty from Camanche Community School District read a portion of a book. Hint: not all the readers were from CES. Each class voted on who they thought the masked reader was and submitted it to the PTA. The readers are masked or in costume. There is no charge for this event or snacks. No videos of the unmasking will be posted on social media due to copyright laws.
Ties & Tiaras will be on Sunday, April 7th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. in the CES gym. Admission is $10 per family and will include a snack and drink. Corsages and boutonnieres will be $2 each. All pre-sales will be due Tuesday, April 2nd. Limited quantities will be available at the dance.
Our fourth graders have picked the theme Marble. Fourth grade parents, please send us your favorite baby picture for the “Guess the 4th Grader Baby” page. These can be sent to the Camanche Elementary PTA Facebook Messenger or email stormpta@yahoo.com. Yearbooks are $22 plus tax for soft cover and $28.32 for hard cover. Don’t forget you can design two FREE custom pages of your student in their book. Custom pages must be completed by April 30th. The yearbook will be submitted May 5th to guarantee delivery by the end of the school year. Here is the link to purchase the yearbook: https://web.treering.com/create-account/1015351206774106?PassCode=1015351206774106

FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week discuss with your student what including others means. When we include others, it opens ourselves up to different ideas, perspectives, and thoughts. Including others in your circle is important because you never know what you may be able to teach (and learn from!) each other. Here are some articles on teaching inclusion to children: https://www.parenting.org/article/Pages/Five-Tips-for-Raising-Children-Who-Celebrate-Diversity.aspx
Read these books together on including others:
· Ada Twist, the Scientist by Andrea Beaty
· The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi
· Lily the Unicorn by Dallas Clayton
· A Peacock Among Pigeons by Tyler Curry
· Pink Tiara Cookies for Three by Maria Dismondy
· When I Care About Others by Cornelia Maude Spelman
