Greetings Pinney families,
I would like to thank all of our parents, students, and visitors who joined the celebration at Pinney
Palooza on Friday, September 13th. The Jerome Marching Band and cheerleading squad highlighted
the evening followed by lots of fun events for our families. With over 1000 people in attendance, it
was our best event yet!
Friday, October 11th, is our annual Fall Festival at Leed’s Farm. We hope to have another great community night with our families. Look for more information to come out this week.
A few events to highlight in October include parent teacher conferences, fall book fair, Dads & Donuts, and our annual Harvest Parties on Thursday, October 31st.
All 3rd grade students will take the Ohio Achievement Assessment in reading on Tuesday, October
8th. The assessment will take place in the morning from 9:15-12:00 p.m., so please refrain from
making appointments during that time frame.
Thank you to our PTO and families for your continued support!
Go Panthers!

• Students may not enter the building until 9:00 a.m. daily.
• Be patient in the pick-up line at the end of the day. Cars need to remain in a single file line to
pick up students. Also, please drop off your child at the sidewalk or side door in the
morning. A Pinney staff member will monitor the side door beginning at 9:00 a.m. daily. We
do not want children walking through cars and/or traffic. Student safety is our priority.
• Give the buses the right of way during arrival and dismissal. No cars in the bus loop during
the following times: 8:45-9:15 a.m. & 3:15-3:45 p.m.
• Call the office or the automated attendance line (718-8960) if your child is going to be absent
or late. Please send in a note if your child is signing out early for an appointment.
• If your child is going to be absent from school, we would appreciate a phone call before 9:30
a.m. of that day. Ohio state law does require us to now have a written note upon a child’s
return to school after an absence of any kind. An absence form can be found in the
downloads section of our Pinney website (Absence Notification Form). We would appreciate
your help by sending in this form or a note explaining the absence upon your child’s return to
school. It is also important that you know that absences due to a family-planned vacation
are no longer excused absences.
• All phone number changes should take place at the building level. Please do not call the
district office to change your contact information. Please call the Pinney office for questions
(798-3570).
• Send in a note if your child’s end of the day arrangements change. Without a note, we will
follow typical end of day routine.
• Both students need a note giving parent permission when bringing home a friend. New
“Note to School” pads can be picked up in the office.
• Write your child’s first and last name on the inside of lunch boxes, backpacks, jackets and
other items so that we can return them if lost. All lost and found items will be donated to
Welcome Warehouse at the end of each trimester.
• The archived “Pinney Post” can be found in the “Newsletters” link on our website.
• Check your child’s backpack frequently.

Clinic Communication with Mrs. Slack & Mrs. Pagan
The Dublin City School District has developed policies to help insure the health and safety of
all our students. These policies have been developed in direct correlation with the recommendations of both Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control. It is even
more important that parents familiarize themselves with these policies and adhere to them as
we move into the time of year when flu and other contagious illnesses become more prevalent. Please take time now to review the following information. If all of our parents follow
these policies, we can reduce illness and absences for your child.
• It is important to keep any child home exhibiting signs of illness. Signs of illness include fever
of 100 degrees or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, chills, irritability, or unusual skin
rash. Other signs of illness are red and crusty eyes, as well as, other symptoms that are unusual for your child. If your child has been home ill, they must be symptom free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school. If they have been placed on an antibiotic for a
contagious illness, they must be on the antibiotic for 24 hours before returning to school.
• Please remember that parents are responsible for supplying the school with any medication
(prescription and over-the-counter) that needs to be given during school hours. The appropriate forms(s) must be completed for clinic staff to be able to administer the medication. Prescription and non-prescription forms are available on the district web site at
www.dublinschools.net or from the clinic. The clinic staff is happy to help you determine which
forms are needed for your child.
• Please make sure to call the school if you change phone numbers. This information is vital
as we often need to contact a parent(s) if there is an injury or illness. When listing someone
as an emergency contact, please make sure it is a local person who would be able to pick up
an ill child.
• Remember that cough drops are considered a medication. They must be kept in the clinic
and must be sent in with a non-prescription medication form that has been completed by a
parent. Students are not permitted to carry cough drops with them during the school day.
• When leaving a message on the attendance line, please provide any symptoms your child
has such as student's temperature, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, vomiting,
diarrhea, etc. Please also include if your child has been seen by a doctor or travelled abroad.
Please feel free to call the clinic and speak with the clinic aide or school nurse regarding any
questions or concerns you have. Thank you for your help keeping all of our students healthy
and safe this season.

Counselor Corner * Mrs. Cellar
The 2013-2014 school year is off to a great start! This year in guidance, our monthly
lessons will consist of an emotional health curriculum grounded in developmental theory
as well as the principals of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. (The Passport Program:
A Journey through Emotional, Social, Cognitive and Self-Development by Ann Vernon.)
Through the use of this curriculum, our students will learn positive mental health concepts and navigate through the situational and developmental challenges of growing
up.
In kindergarten, we will read a new picture book each month that will introduce children to the four areas of development (self, emotional, social and cognitive.) October
will focus on self-development and how we are all different, with a read aloud of Todd
Parr’s book, “It’s Okay to Be Different”.
In first grade, students will participate in an activity called “I Can, They Can”. The objectives of this lesson are for students to learn that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and that everyone is worthwhile, regardless of their weaknesses.
In second grade, students will participate in an activity called “Dial M for Me”. The objectives of this lesson are for students to develop awareness of abilities and attributes,
and to learn to accept oneself with these abilities and attributes.
In third grade, students will participate in an activity called “Who I am, How I Act”. The
objective of this lesson is to learn that how one acts does not determine self-worth.
In fourth grade, students will participate in an activity called “Just a Mistake”. The objectives of this lesson are to learn that making mistakes is natural and that making mistakes does not make one a bad person.
In fifth grade, students will participate in an activity called “Wanted: A kid Like Me”. The
objective of this lesson is for students to be able to identify their own positive attributes.
Stress and Relaxation Small Group
I will be running a small group that will focus on stress reduction and relaxation techniques. Students are invited to participate through teacher and/or parent referral. Our
first of six sessions is October 4 and group concludes December 6.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at

What’s Happening in Phys. Ed *Ms. Hathaway
I believe physical education is the cornerstone of an active life. Physical education provides the
skills, knowledge and attitudes that facilitate choosing physical activity that will help your child
enjoy a lifetime of physical activity and good health. As your child's physical education
teacher, my goals are to:
*Establish a positive, safe learning environment for all students
*Teach a variety of physical activities that make class fun and enjoyable
*Create maximum opportunities for students of all abilities to be successful
*Promote student honesty, integrity and good sportsmanship
*Assist students in setting and achieving personal goals
*Provide specific, constructive feedback to help students master motor skills
*Create opportunities for students to succeed in cooperative and competitive situations
*Prepare and encourage students to be active learners for a lifetime
1st and 2nd grade PE
We have started the school year with a movement awareness unit. This unit provides
students an opportunity to explore self space, locomotor movements, pathways, force and levels. Scrambled Eggs, Five Noses, Mr. Wolf, Movement Tic-Tac-Toe, Three Finger Tag and Squirrels, Trees and Foxes are activities which review these concepts. These games also provide an
opportunity to discuss teamwork, fair play, safety, having fun, and the importance of following
directions.
Within the next few weeks, the students will also have the opportunity to use the parachute, shoot hoops, play Gotcha, experiment with foxtails, and play a speedy game of Pet
Catcher! Ask your child to tell you about these games!
3rd, 4th and 5th grade PE
We began the school year with emphasis on teamwork and cooperation. Cooperative
initiatives enabled students to display those talents as well as leadership, respect, and problem
solving skills. The students were introduced to a new game called Ant Tag. They displayed
curiosity and creativity while exploring and solving movement puzzles.
We have begun our first sport unit, football. The football unit involves an eight week
investigation of the many different ingredients of the game. We, of course, practice most of
the fundamental skills of football. Offensive and defensive strategies are also introduced and
applied to game situations. Along with skill practice, the students will also learn rules of the
game. To combine their new knowledge and skills, the unit will end with an opportunity to
participate in a tournament. The tournament also showcases the students’ leadership skills
and sportsmanships.

The Art Program
The Eli Pinney Art Department promotes critical thinking,
creativity, collaboration, communication, systems thinking and
synthesis through visual art processes and production of
visual artifacts. Each grade level focuses on a different big
idea that will provide the lens through which each unit is
viewed. The grade level focus represents an alignment with
the State of Ohio’s Visual Arts Standards, Common Core, and
social and behavioral sciences of whole child development.
Each big idea builds on the previous one and by the end of
the fifth grade year, each student will be able to, through

the top ten jobs of 2010 did not exist in 2004, education

compartmentalized blocks of time and subjects hinders their
ability to transfer knowledge, make connections, and see
how their learning applies to the world outside of the
traditional school setting. The project-based learning
approach in the art room allows for students to see problems
from multiple perspectives and provides time to explore the
problems in-depth. Student connectivity allows them to

understanding of complex ideas. Each focus provides an overarching umbrella that covers all projects throughout the year. Having a large focus
over a period of a year allows the students to dig deeper into the creative process and enables them to make personal connections to material
being taught. By the end of the five year program, each student will have a better sense of themselves, others, and how they and others will use
visual art as a means of expressive visual communication.
Relationships
The students in first grade focus on relationships and connections in art throughout the year. Relationships and connections are important at this
stage of development. These students are becoming more self-aware and learning about interacting with others. This focus also enables the
students to see the relationship between materials and concepts as well. Each lesson is related in some way to the idea of relationships. This
focus also prepares the students for more abstract thinking and identification of patterns and connections later.
Community
The students in second grade transition from a focus on relationships to applying this knowledge to create a community in which everyone is
working together. Throughout the year, students will be viewing, discussing, and creating works of art that deal with community. Second grade
students welcome responsibility and can grasp the idea of working as a group to accomplish a task. This year-long focus allows the students
the opportunity to further understand the relationship between an artist and his/her community.
Communication
The students in third grade will transition from a community focus to communication. At this point, the students have a solid understanding of
who they are, how they relate to others, and how they can work as a team to accomplish a goal. This stage now focuses on how to visually
communicate clearly and effectively. The previous two years promoted self-awareness, empathy and compassion. In order to communicate
effectively, a child must have a solid understanding of the target audience. This focus allows the students to use all that they have learned about
themselves and others and begin to focus on how best to communicate an idea and/or concept.
Identity
The students in fourth grade become increasingly aware of their strengths and weaknesses. They tend to compare their work to others at this
stage more than ever. Fourth grade students become more self-conscious as well. Taking this into account, this focus empowers the students
to be more introspective and confident in the creative process. This focus helps the students understand how identity is reflected in the artistic
process. By looking at artifacts from our visual culture, this focus also helps the students to understand how these artifacts affect the identity
formation process. The purpose of this focus is for the students to reflect on who they are and how to create visual artifacts that reflect their
attitudes, beliefs and/or traditions.
Leadership
The fifth grade students focus on leadership for the final stage of the Eli Pinney art program. This focus utilizes all prior knowledge to become
leaders. As fifth grade students, these individuals are seen as the leaders of the school. This focus features the work of artists and designers
that are viewed as leaders in their field. The students in fifth grade take on a leadership role and develop a sense of what it takes to be a leader.
The students operate at a high level of independence at this stage as well. They are thinking critically, exhibiting high levels of creativity, acting
collaboratively, and communicating effectively throughout all five years in the Eli Pinney Art Program.
Please feel free to email me with any questions. If you would like to donate any small materials, cardboard, plastic or other
interesting and unique items to the art room for the students to reuse in their artwork, please email me. The students tend to go
through the recyclable materials at a fast pace, so any items to replenish would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for your support.
Sincerely, Jason Blair <blair_jason@dublinschools.net>

4th Grade Reading LEAP:
Students are exploring the book “Blood on the River.” This historical fiction novel takes
place in the year 1607. The book follows the journey of a young Samuel Collier in the new
world. As a class we will be using the novel as a springboard into non-fiction. We will be practicing previewing, predicting, and providing evidence from the text to support our analysis.
Later, students will be writing fictional persuasive letters to their family members still in England, warning them not to join them in James Town.
4th Grade Math LEAP:
What is the perimeter and area of the big toy at Pinney Elementary? Just ask the students in 4th Grade Math LEAP. Students are studying area and perimeter of squares, rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms. As part of our study students used the City of Dublin’s interactive site, Dubscovery, to view familiar landmarks and find their area and perimeter. The
class will also be having a speaker come to share with us how Dublin City plans, designs, and
creates parks. Students will then be challenged to design their own parks. This will provide
them with real life application and exploration of both perimeter and area. In class we are
also practicing algebraic concepts and building our number sense.
5th Grade Humanities LEAP:
Students are reading the book “Counting on Grace.” This historical fiction novel takes
place during the early 1900’s. As a class we will make connections to non-fiction by exploring
the pictures and story of Lewis Hine, a famous photographer and reformer of child labor in
America. Throughout our study students will practice making predications, inferences, and
providing evidence from the text to support their findings.
