From Principal Nardelli

Assembly Recap - This past Friday at our All School Assembly, under the backdrop of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of a more equitable society, I shared the story titled Strictly No Elephants by Lisa Mantchev.  The basic story is about a boy who wants to bring his pet elephant to a pet club and is told that elephants aren't allowed.  At our assembly and in classroom discussions afterwards, we talked about the following: Friendship - What kinds of things do friends do for each other? Exclusion - What are some reasons that people (or pets) are excluded? Is this what we want for our school community? Inclusion - What does it mean to be inclusive? How can we foster an environment this is inclusive of all? Social action - What can individuals and groups of people do to make change happen? Exploring feelings - How do the various character feel in this story?  What connections can we draw from the experiences of the characters? If you would like to read the story at home and discuss at home, I’ve included a link to a pdf of the story: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QfRji-sATF8LpiK0M9oCqlmf-gq7Rlb8/view?usp=sharing Peek Week - Thank you to David Tynes for sharing the students’ past 6-8 weeks worth of work.  They’ve been learning a variety of gymnastics skills as well as healthy fitness habits. It is amazing to see the progression of skills that takes place from the beginning of the unit to the end, as well as between grade levels.  We had lots of support from families…there were large audiences all week and the kids were so excited to have visitors see their strength, their desire to help one another, and their willingness to take risks.  Thanks so much to all the friends and family members who came out to support this event. Winter Concert - Thank you to Megan Lotz, Geoff Wadsworth, and our 4th and 5th grade students for the musical performances last week. We had a packed house for the evening performance, and it was well worth it.  The string ensemble, the band, and the chorus all showed their respective talents and their ability to play/sing together in sometimes tricky arrangements.  It was impressive to see how much these musicians have grown since last year. Geography Bee - Each year our school participates in the National Geographic Geography Bee, which  is open to all 4th and 5th grade students.  Children take a series of written tests to determine a set of 10 finalists for our school.  This year’s finalists are: Layth Abduljabbar, Campbell Engler, Leah Gelfand, Aritra Ghosh, Alex Gleason, Rory Griffith, Lila Anapolle, Peter Edwards, and Raylen Li.  We held the finals competition this morning and Alex Gleason emerged as the Horace Mann champion, with Aritra Ghosh coming in second place. Congratulations to all of our contestants. Progress Reports: Progress reports will be published electronically in the first week of February.  Details about how to access the reports will be provided just prior to February 5th.  Please let me know if you do not receive any information. I thought I would leave you with the following poem, in hopes of sending a reminder to occasionally shift our focus from "deficit thinking" (or thinking that we don't have enough) to one of opportunity... Be Thankful (author unknown) Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something,  for it gives your the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations,  because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge,  because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you’re tired and weary, because it means you’ve made a difference. It’s easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to the who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

NEWSNOTES December 2, 2017   In this issue: From Principal Nardelli Calendar From the PTO

From Principal Nardelli

Food Drive - A tremendous thank you to the many, many families who have taken the time to donate a wide variety of goods for this month's food drive.  We will be delivering the items in the next week or so and they will be much appreciated.  Thank you! Communication Update - The PTO board and I agreed to make some changes to our communication methods with the hopes of streamlining things.  Over the past month or so, we have shifted to using the MYSCHOOLANYWHERE platform, which is also the site that houses our school directory.  You will now get NewsNotes, PTO postings, fundraiser information, etc. from this site.  I also post updates directly to my blog on the Horace Mann Website, which can be accessed directly by clicking on this link: https://horacemann02460.blogspot.com/ On occasion, families will still receive information about early release dates, progress reports, etc. from our district sponsored messaging system (Skyward).  Please let me know if you feel that are ways that we can improve our practices (mark_nardelli@newton.k12.ma.us) Staffing Update - A small team of people has spent the last couple of weeks interviewing candidates and watching demo lessons as part of our efforts to find a qualified educator take over for Ms. Bonzey during her maternity leave, which will begin in January.   After careful consideration and input from the team, I am excited to share that Sarah Pappo will be assuming lead teacher responsibilities when we return from the December break until the remainder of the school year.  Sarah has worked at HM for the past two years as a paraprofessional with the opes of one day having her own classroom. Throughout our search process and in her time at Horace Mann, Ms. Pappo has had many opportunities to lead whole group and small group instruction, and has demonstrated the ability to effectively manage a variety of learning environments in both K and 1 classrooms. In addition, Ms. Pappo spent last year working in Ms. Bonzey’s classroom and is familiar with many of the routines, structures, and strategies currently in place.  Please join me in congratulating Ms. Pappo on this opportunity. FORJ Group -  This group of families in and around Newton has organized an effort to educate parents, children, and various communities about race racism, culture and identity. The following message is an update of upcoming activities for the group at Horace Mann. Please consider attending our upcoming discussion event coming up next Tuesday, December 12 at Horace Mann from 7-9pm - check out the materials and RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/FORJ-HM-DiscussionGroup Newton SEPAC - Personal Safety Workshop Agenda: A discussion about Personal Safety for families with children with Special Needs, presented by a Safety Officer from the Newton Police Department. Location: Education Center, Room 210, Walnut Street, Newton, MA 02460 Date: Tuesday, December 5 7:15 - Networking 7:30 - Presentation begins Student Connectedness Survey - For the second year in a row, the district will be conducting a student connectedness survey for all students in grades 3-12. The survey was created by NPS’s Data Team and NPS staff, administrators and faculty, and is designed to help us better understand how our students are supported by and engaged with curriculum, extracurricular activities, teachers, peers, and their school community. We will be administering this survey prior to the break. Parents of children in grades 3-5 should already have received information about the survey.  If you have any questions, please let me know at mark_nardelli@newton.k12.ma.us Early Release Plan - This Thursday, December 7th, we have an early release for all staff.  Students will be dismissed at 12:30.  During this afternoon time, we are planning to have staff watch one of three videos focused on our equity work, followed by discussion activities.   We firmly believe that our own learning and reflection is central to our efforts to create a culturally responsive school.  The videos we have chosen will provide the opportunity for teachers to learn more about the diverse perspectives that our students and families bring to the classroom, and also talk about how these perspectives impact instruction and learning. Below I have provided a brief description of each video as well as a trailer link, in case you are interested in learning more. "THE COLOR OF FEAR" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rbfh5oM3EQ The Color of Fear is an insightful, groundbreaking film about the state of race relations in America as seen through the eyes of eight North American men of Asian, European, Latino and African descent. In a series of intelligent, emotional and dramatic confrontations the men reveal the pain and scars that racism has caused them. What emerges is a deeper sense of understanding and trust. This is the dialogue most of us fear, but hope will happen sometime in our lifetime. Shortly after the release of The Color of Fear in 1995, Lee Mun Wah appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in a one-hour special about his life and work. In 1999, The Color of Fear won the Golden Apple Award for Best Social Studies Video, National Education Media Awards. "I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO" -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNUYdgIyaPM In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends-Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only thirty completed pages of his manuscript. Now, in his incendiary new documentary, master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin's original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of these three leaders, Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for. "THE WAY HOME: WOMEN TALK ABOUT RACE IN AMERICA" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab7kZUOiGj8 Over the course of eight months, sixty-four women representing a cross-section of cultures (Indigenous, African-American, Arab/Middle Eastern, Asian, European-American, Jewish, Latina, and Multiracial) came together to share their experience of racism in America. With uncommon courage, the women speak their hearts and minds about resistance, love, assimilation, standards of beauty, power, school experiences, and more. Their candid conversations offer rare access into multi-dimensional worlds invisible to outsiders. The abundance of photographs, dance, and music provides a sensual richness to this provocative piece.

SAVE THE DATE: Mystery Dinner—February 3, 2018—calling all hosts! Our 2018 Mystery Dinner is Saturday, February 3, 2018 and we need hosts!!  Those of you who have been a part of the Mystery Dinner in previous years know how much fun it is.  It's a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old acquaintances, meet new friends, and connect with other HM parents; all while enjoying delicious food and supporting the school. Please consider opening your home for a dinner. For those who need more info, a quick snapshot of the night: It begins with a cocktail hour (6:30pm) where all attendees go to receive their dinner location and a list of people in their dining party.  Parties will then split up and go to their hosts' houses and enjoy a special dinner from 8:00-9:30pm.  Thereafter, all parties will reconvene at a mystery location for dessert. Being a host entails opening up your home to anywhere from 4-10 people (or more if your house can accommodate) for dinner.  You decide the theme and the menu for your party to enjoy.  Past dinners have ranged from home-cooked Italian dinners to surf & turf to Indian cuisine.  It can be as creative and involved as you wish.  It does not need to be extravagant--the point is to enjoy a good meal and to have fun! Note: it is preferred for hosts to get babysitters or have the kids at a friend's or family member's house during the dinner. If you are interested or have questions, please email Liz Kleinerman (ejkleinerman@gmail.com) or Cathy Amos (catamos@mac.com) with any questions.

NewsNotes 11/12/17

FORJ (Families Organizing for Racial Justice) - This group of families in and around Newton has organized an effort to educate parents, children, and various communities about race racism, culture and identity. The following message is an update of upcoming activities for the group at Horace Mann. For anyone interested in taking part we have two events coming up:

• We will meet on Monday, November 20 at 7pm. Kate Carpenter will host at her home on 67 Prescott Avenue in Newton. We'll get to know each other, talk about our ideas, and how we can best support Mark Nardelli and the HM staff as they learn and teach about racial awareness, bias, and privilege. 

• In addition, we're trying out an article/podcast discussion group on racial awareness and privilege for parents and guardians to connect, open up and learn, too. Our first meeting is Tuesday, December 12 at Horace Mann - check out the materials and RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/FORJ-HM-DiscussionGroup

Empathy and Cultural Humility - I came across the following article and felt it was worth sharing. Much of our conversation centers around the idea when we are willing hear each other’s stories, we are more likely to reach out to be helpful to and inclusive of others. The attached article points to several tools that are worth exploring as adults:

https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2017/11/03/4-tools-to-help-kids-develop-empathy-and-cultural-humility/

Next Generation MCAS - If you have a child in 4th, 5th grade (or 6th grade), you should have received individual results for your child’s MCAS scores from the spring of 2017.  I wanted to share a few details about the current status of standardized testing:

• Over the past several years, standardized testing has been in a state of flux.  We’ve had the original version of MCAS, PARCC (both online and on paper versions), and most recently the Next Generation MCAS. 
• For each version, the questions and format have evolved.  As I have always maintained, we do not teach to the test.  Each year, as the state releases more test questions, we will do our best to help students anticipate the kinds of questions they can expect to see.
• The results, which don’t come to us until 6 months after the test is given, are generally not helpful in making instructional decisions for individual students.  Instead, we rely on assessments that are given throughout the year to provide us with information about students’ strengths and weaknesses.
• MCAS results can be helpful in looking for patterns within a specific topic or instructional area. For example, if a large number of students do poorly on Number Sense questions, we can look at classroom instruction in that area.
• Real estate agencies typically use test scores as a major factor in helping families decide whether a school is high functioning.  For Horace Mann, we were a 9 (out of 10) two years ago, a 7 last year, and an 8 this year.  Despite the different scores, our approach and our philosophy really hasn't changed, and the scores can only indicate a portion of what is working or not working in a school.  Keep in mind that there are other important variables that need to be considered in assessing how well a school functions.  These variables include school climate, attitudes towards social emotional learning, commitment to values and priorities, efforts to promote citizenship, etc.  
• For more information about MCAS and the dilemma schools face as standardized tests have evolved, click on the following link to a recent article in the Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/10/18/new-tests-bring-worse-scores-for-mass-students/YYiJaH6OCmVcOsolkYRN7M/story.html

If you have individual questions about your child’s scores, please reach out to me and/or your child’s teachers to get a better sense of where the scores fit in with the larger picture.

NewsNotes 11/5/2017

Ready, Set, Go! Day - Thank you to David Tynes for bringing back this annual event.  Activities such as “Jump the Sock” and “Ball Factory” present students with a challenge that requires concentration,  teamwork and encouragement.  My favorite aspect of the event is watching the kids cheer for one another as they “Scale the Wall"...congrats to all. CAS: Mitali Perkins - 4th grade students were treated to a visit by renowned author Mitali Perkins, who has written a number of wonderful books that focus on doing going in the world and overcoming adversity of some sort.  In her presentation, Mitali talked about cultural differences between those we know of in the Unite States vs. those of her parents' upbringing in India.  Topics included food, marriage, clothing, and more.  For more info about Mitali Perkins and her work, click here: http://www.mitaliperkins.com/ Special Ed Workshop - The district is offering a workshop session that talks about the basics of special education.  If you are interested, the session will take place as follows: November 8, 2017: Basic Rights in Special Education, Ruth Diaz, FCSN (Federation for children with special needs), 7-9 pm, Room 210, 100 Walnut Street, Newton, 02460. Food Service Feedback - Food Service wants to hear from you! Please share your food service experience so that the NPS food service department can improve service, address any issues of concern, and make changes that create a more positive experience for students and families. The survey should take no more than 5 minutes and gives very important feedback! Parent Survey https://www.sodexosurveys.com/f/102256/699f/  School Health Update - Communicating with the School Nurse In order for the school nurse to be as well prepared as possible to care for students coming to the health room, it is helpful to have the “big picture” perspective for each child. Parents and guardians should know they have an open invitation to communicate with the school nurse both about physical changes such as significant illness, hospitalization, injury, and medication (even if not taken at school), and about social and emotional changes. Examples include changes in the family structure such as a new sibling, parental separation, illness/death in the family or a parent traveling. It is also helpful for the nurse to know if a student is having trouble adjusting to school or if a parent is concerned about bullying or classroom issues. The goal for the school nurse is to keep students in school whenever possible. This “big picture” kind of information, along with phone calls for parent consultation, is helpful to achieve this goal. Additional tips for communicating with the school nurse: For urgent or time-sensitive matters, please call. Occasionally there is a substitute nurse who cannot access the email of the regular school nurse. Parents should drop off medication directly to the school nurse instead of sending it with the student. Keep contact information such as cell phone and work phone numbers updated. Let’s keep in touch to meet the needs of your child. To reach the Horace Mann School Nurse, Elissa Matloff, please call her at 617-559-9522 or email her at Elissa_Matloff@newton.K12.MA.US. Responsive Home Workshops - The workshops below are provided for all parents and caregivers who would like to expand their toolbox for managing behavior at home.  I highly recommend the sessions.

Thank you to everyone who shopped and supported the Book Fair. Co-chairs Megan Anapolle and Jacqueline Freeman are proud to report that sales went up 30% over last year. On the night of the Book Fair the PTO placed more than $4,500 worth of books directly into the classrooms. We are proud of everyone's efforts. Keep reading!
