Dr. Miller's Message
It is hard to believe that in a few short days we will be to the
end of 2013 and then end of 1st semester. As we wrap up the 2nd quarter
and we begin to do some of our district wide benchmark testing, we will be
working to see which students are making expected progress, which ones are
making more than expected progress and which students are not making expected
progress.
As we get this new data in between December and January, we will
begin to make plans to move all of our students. If you know that your
child is lagging behind in reading, writing or math, I would encourage you to
make time each day over the break for your child to work in these areas.
There are numerous programs that the NKC School District pays for that
kids can log into from home. If you are not on-line at home, see about
taking several trips to the local library so your student can log on and get in
his/her daily practice.
Our goal is to have every student reading, writing and solving
math problems at or above grade level proficiently. You are vital to your
child meeting this goal. Thanks in advance for finding time each day to
allow your child to work on these areas.
It was great to see so many at Grandparents' Day. We love to
have you attend school events. Please be watching for information from
your child's teacher or listen for my Bulldog phone calls. Thanks for a
great 1st semester.
Guess who’s coming to the library?
Santa, Mrs. Claus, and one of their elves will be visiting the Claycomo Library for a very special storytime.
After they read a holiday story, you can sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what you want for Christmas!
Bring the whole family and don’t forget your cameras!
Saturday, December 7 at 2 PM.

Book Clubs
Did you know that the Claycomo Library has not one but two great book clubs?
One meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 1 PM to talk about adult fiction. This month, we will meet on December 18 and discuss The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian.
Our other book club is designed for adults who enjoy young adult fiction. We meet the third Thursday of every month at 7 PM. This month we will meet on December 19 to discuss A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron and The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.
Everyone is welcome to join us for coffee, conversation, and fun!
Recycle your holiday lights We have a recycling bin set up in the entryway of the library for your broken or unwanted holiday lights.
This just in!
Brand new books our staff recommends:
Daddy’s Gone A Hunting by Mary Higgins Clark. A suspense-filled thriller with a twist!
Gulp by Mary Roach. A funny, fascinating look at the digestive system.
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. An award-winning children’s book (that adults love, too!) based on the true story of a gorilla living in captivity.
