With the school year just over a month old it may be instructive
to share with you the SES staff-developed Mission Statement as
well as our School Goals for 2011 – 2012. They are both
reevaluated and revised each year and are designed to provide
educators here with guidelines for the year. Please note that
student achievement for all children is the ultimate goal; both the
Mission Statement and School Goals help determine how we as
educators – along with your assistance and collaboration – hope to
achieve school-wide academic excellence and student success.
Sudlersville Elementary Mission Statement
The mission of Sudlersville Elementary is to educate and
enlighten each of our students through and engaging curriculum
and high expectations (for both behavior and achievement) by
dedicated teachers and staff with support of parents and the
extended community.
Sudlersville Elementary School Goals
Collect and display data to promote, measure, and ensure
academic growth over time for all students.
Sustain a positive partnership with parents, community, and staff
in order to increase student achievement and attendance.
Continue to build collaboration among all staff members and
district resources to meet the needs of all students.
Recognize and reward character and good citizenship to enhance
student leadership in the Sudlersville Elementary School
community.
As always, thank you for helping your child and assisting him or her
in reaching the goals shown above. The success of all students
depends upon everyone – students, teachers and parents –
continuing to work together. Your efforts are most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Lloyd W. Taylor, Ed.D. Principal

It is hard to believe that September is
already over. The children are doing a
wonderful job following classroom
rules and routines. We have been
reading a lot of books about going back
to school. In addition, we have been
learning about color and shapes in
class. Please help your child identify
and understand that colors and shapes
can be found anywhere. We will be
learning about nursery rhymes this
month. Have your child select a
nursery rhyme and help them practice
the rhyme each day. We will be
celebrating Nursery Rhyme Day on
Friday, October 28th. If you have any
questions please feel free to
call. Thanks again for your continued
support!

Monday through Thursday. In
addition to the reading
comprehension students should also
be reading 20 minutes four nights a

Students may count their
comprehension story as part of their
20 minutes of reading as long as the
student is actively reading for 20
minutes.
Math Homework reminder: Students
should be completing one Math
handout every night Monday through
Thursday. These Math handouts are
given to the students in a packet at
the beginning of each week. We
encourage students to do Math
nightly to practice skills learned in
class. Also, if students work too far
ahead in the weekly packet they
may be attempting a skill that hasn't
been taught yet.
Monthly Book Report:
As a whole, the 4th grade
teachers were extremely
impressed with the September
Book Reports.
WAY TO GO STUDENTS!!
The October book report is on a
Non-Fiction text. Students will
be asked to select a non-fiction
text of their choice from home,
the school library, or community
library and read the entire
text. Again, this reading can be
combined with your 20 minutes of
nightly reading. Once they have
finished reading their non-fiction
text the students will be required
to write 10 question and answer
cards based on the book and 10
vocabulary and definition cards
from the text. A rubric was sent
home with your child on Thursday
September 29, 2011.

Grade 5 News
Reading
Grade 5 welcomes fall with studies
of nature, Native Americans, the
Earth, and a variety of characters in
reading. In reading classes we are
focusing on improving reading skills
by working in instructional groups
specifically designed to meet the
needs of each student for one hour
per day. We will be reading a
variety of genres and applying our
"Big 10" state curriculum standards
including: drawing conclusions,
main idea, making inferences,
paraphrasing poetry, theme, mood,
tone, and summarizing to name a
few. Student achievements will be
reviewed quarterly and an
appropriate reading placement will
be provided to them to further
their learning. Please help us in
our new endeavor by encouraging
your child to read at home for at
least 20 minutes four times a
week. Be on the look out for the
school logo eagle folder with a
reading log that we ask you sign to
verify your child is reading.
The "Literacy Blocks" are going very
well! We appreciate all the parents
who are supporting their children in
reading at home.
Remember, that all students in grades
1-5 are expected to read 4 nights a
week for a minimum of 20 minutes
per night and write the required
response on their log sheets.
Children may read anything to fulfill
their 20 minutes. (newspaper article,
cereal boxes, menus, books,
magazines, soccer skill directions,
etc.) They may read several things
for their 20 minutes, but only need to
respond to one on their log sheet with
a written response. Children in PreK and K may be read to. Some
children in 1st grade may need to be
read to also.
In addition to our reading topics we
will continue to study Native
Americans followed by explorers in
social studies and study our Earth
and its surface in science. We will
then move on to study Earth in
space. In math, we review
geometry and begin a unit on
division. We hope parents will
continue to support learning efforts
with nightly reading time,
homework discussion, and fact
practice for math. Thank you for all
that you do for our students.
Please remember:
1. The "Reading Log Sheet" should
remain in your child's "Reading" folder
and return to school each day.
2. Parents - Please sign the log sheet
each of the four days.
3. Be sure to write the amount of
time the child read. (A minimum of
20 minutes)
4. Please help your child to write a
"Complete Sentence or sentences" for
their response. Help them to use
appropriate capitalization,
punctuation, and spelling.
We are looking forward to
rewarding many SES students for
their efforts in meeting their reading
goal for the 1st quarter. We would
love to have 100%.
Working together we can help all of
our students to make progress in
reading and become successful
readers and writers.

Math Matters
This fall, try adding a little math
to your day.
At home, parents and children can
count everyday items and learn
the numbers. Card games with
number values, such as “War”
where children name and compare
values can help develop the
concept of numeration. Games
where children roll a dice and
progress forward a number of
spaces can also build this counting
and number sense. Money (with
its one dollar bills and ten dollar
bills) can be used to represent an
amount. Families can look in
advertisements and catalogs, and
then make the amount of money
needed to purchase an item, or
discuss why a certain amount of
money may or may not be enough
to purchase the item.
Older children (grades 3-5) are
asked to extend their number
skills to include larger whole
numbers, decimals and fractions.
Many opportunities at home use
these types of numbers. Lengths,
measurements for cooking, money
amount and bill paying can be
used and discussed to develop
numeration skills.
Numeration includes counting and
writing numbers, as well as
identifying equivalent forms of
numbers. Trading pennies for an
equivalent amount of money, such
as 10 pennies for a dime, can
build understanding of numbers.
When sorting change at home,
involve your child and build their
math skills. Show them that
MATH MATTERS!

for all S.E.S. students! On
Friday, October 14, S.E.S.
students will join the entire
school community in a
celebration of National Hispanic
Month, which occurs every year
from September 15 to October

This year will be the seventh
year for our traditional SES
Hispanic Month Celebration.
Parents, teachers, and students
are organizing Latino displays
and snacks that will be shared
with everyone at lunchtime on
October 14. Between 10:30 am
and 12:45 pm, every teacher
will bring his or her class to see
the displays and sample some
snacks that are being presented
by our Hispanic families and
friends.
There will be cultural tables to

traditional dance and festivals,
and a display about our S.E.S.
sister school in La Guadalupe,
Mexico. There will also be

Judy Center News!
We are so excited to be here at
SES! So, who are we? We are a
collaboration of many community
agencies working together to
empower parents as they prepare
their young children for school.
We will be working to support the
Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers,
children and their families (please
visit the main office to pick up a
Judy Center brochure for a more
detailed description of what we
have to offer).
We met many of you at the Pre-K
and Kindergarten conferences. We
hope you and your child enjoyed
the giveaway books and
information. Included in that info
was a newsletter entitled,
“Helping Children Learn”. They
are filled with great information
and activities to enhance your
child’s development as well as
parenting tips. Your child will
receive one each month.
You also should have received a
Parent Survey. Please be sure to
complete the survey and return to
your child’s teacher.
Children’s social and
emotional development plays an
extremely important role in your
child’s ability to learn. We have
introduced a new social skills
curriculum as part of your child’s
daily routine. Ask your child if
“Tucker the Turtle” lives in their
classroom. “Tucker” helps teach
self-control. Watch for the flyer

Eagle Squad
SES EAGLE SQUAD MARCHES
INTO NEW SCHOOL YEAR
On Friday, September 30, tryouts
were held for the new S.E.S.
Eagle Squad members. Thirty
students in Grades 3, 4, and 5
competed in the gym. After
submitting their application
forms, each of the students had
to be recommended by a
classroom teacher.
Students demonstrated their
athletic capability and teamwork
ability in front of the judges.
Judges were Coach Cox, Mrs.
Webster, Mr. Harrison, and Mr.
Leventhal. The candidates’
performance was excellent, so
the judges had a difficult time
selecting the 2011-2012 squad.
The twelve students chosen to be
on the squad are Madison Bailey,
Chloe Begley, Neidy Roblero,
Nicholas Short, Jacob Elborn,
Joshua Mussetter, Audrey
Karbaum, Jordan Dozier, Shelby
Connolly, Brook Garcia, Armando
Macario Galan, and Austin
Weigley. Three alternates were
also chosen. They Joanna
Escalante, Robert Sites, and
Kiara Hohrein.
Eagle Squad is managed by Mrs.
Leventhal and the drill team
instructor is Mr. Leventhal.
Students meet every Friday after
school until 4 pm. They perform
for assembly openings and
special events. The S.E.S. Eagle
Squad is the only elementary
drill team in Maryland.
Health Room
The Queen Anne’s County
Health Department once again
will be administering Flumist to
elementary students grades K
through 5th. Consent forms must
be completed and returned in
order for your child to receive
the vaccine. The first dose is
scheduled for September 28,
2011. Students who have not
previously been vaccinated with
the influenza vaccine are
required to receive a 2nd dose at
least a month apart. The Health
Dept. plans to return to
administer the Flumist to those
students who need their 2nd
dose. No date has been
scheduled as of yet for the 2nd
dose.
Those of you who wish to
receive the Seasonal Flu vaccine
may check out the Queen Anne’s
Co. Health Dept. website at:
www.qahealth.org , or call the
office at: 410-758-0720 for clinic
locations, dates, and times.
With “Flu Season” near here
are some guidelines to follow
regarding student illnesses:
Students must be “fever free for
24 hours without the aid of
fever reducing medication”, in
order to return to school. If
your child receives an antibiotic
for strep throat, pink eye, or
another contagious illness, they
must take the medication for 24
hours before returning to
school. Also, your child should
not return to school for 24 hours
after having diarrhea and or
vomiting. These guidelines are
in place to protect all students
and staff.
Thank you for your support.

Dear Parents and Families,
A Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school from October 3 – 7. It’s
a great opportunity for students to find books that really interest them.
We know kids read more books when they get to choose their own. The
more kids read, the more their reading skills improve.
You are invited to be a part of our Book Fair Family Event. It’s taking
place Wednesday from 6:00 – 8:00pm. You can shop for books for your
entire family! If for some reason you can’t make it or you want to
continue shopping from an expanded selection, you can now visit the
Fair online – www.scholastic.com/schoolbookfairs.
The online Fair:
• is available for an extended time and all orders ship FREE to school
• provides a chance for you and your child to create and send wish lists
to invite friends and family to participate in the Book Fair
• offers an expanded book selection for all ages—from preschool to
adult
All in-school and online Book Fair purchases benefit our school. Thanks
for helping get more kids reading, kids reading more.
See you at the Book Fair!

Parent Involvement
Dear Parents/Guardians,
In October, I will be scheduling lunch
groups with students. Students are chosen
based on need. Teachers can refer as well
as parents. Groups I have done in the past
include; changing families, focus, social
skills, anger management and friendship
group to name just a few. Children can
only attend group with a letter of
invitation signed by their parent. If you
see a need for your child to be in a group
or if you have any concerns with your
child's social or emotional health, please
don't hesitate to give me a call.
I have greatly enjoyed these past few
weeks of seeing old friends and making
new ones!
Mrs. Webster
Thanks to all who completed and returned the Parent Surveys. The
winners of the ice cream parties for most returned surveys are Mrs.
Bennett’s class and Mrs. Dean’s class.
The input will be reviewed and used to update the draft Parent
Involvement Plan and Family Compact.
Please remember that you must stop in the front office and sign-in
when entering the building. Also, be sure you have completed and

“smashing success” to quote Dr. Taylor. We had 96 dads and 122
students attend with 33 dads who stepped up and signed up. A
huge “Thank You” goes out to all staff and parents who helped
make this such a success! Also “Thank You” to Mr. Lance
Richardson, our Queen Anne’s County States Attorney for delivering
such an inspirational speech. Check out the “Wall of Fame” on my
bulletin board in the coming weeks for pictures of our Watch
D.O.G.S.
