What’s neW at <strong>Gold</strong> hill?<br />
GOLD HILL ELEMENTARy SCHOOL IS PROuD<br />
TO ANNOuNCE THE OPENING OF THE RESEARCH<br />
AND DISCOvERy LAB, OR RAD LAB.<br />
This lab features a newly acquired<br />
program called LEGO Education where<br />
children acquire science, technology,<br />
engineering and mathematical skills<br />
through innovative, hands–on activities<br />
in a three-dimensional format using<br />
Lego building bricks.<br />
The LEGO Education materials support<br />
a process of learning that includes four<br />
phases: Connect, Construct, Contemplate<br />
and Continue. As the students work in<br />
small groups they develop critical and<br />
creative thinking skills that are necessary<br />
to become proficient problem solvers and<br />
decision makers.<br />
Each of the Lego Education programs<br />
provide the students with a scope and<br />
sequence that allows us to take the<br />
information from the RAD lab back to the<br />
classroom for integration in Math, Science,<br />
Technology and English Language Arts.<br />
The scope and sequence have been<br />
aligned with the new Common Core<br />
Page 2 | October 2012 | The BeeLine<br />
Domains that are in the process of being<br />
implemented school wide. Even though<br />
each of these Lego Education programs<br />
can stand alone, we have the unique<br />
opportunity at GHES to provide all of our<br />
students the experience of Lego<br />
Education therefore developing a strong<br />
sequential foundation from one grade<br />
level to the next. These programs also<br />
allow us to continue to incorporate the<br />
engineering design process into all of the<br />
activities.<br />
Our Kindergarten classes will be working<br />
with the Story Starters program where<br />
one activity is to build structures to solve<br />
a problem from a selected story. Our<br />
first grade classes will be discovering<br />
and building with Early Simple Machines.<br />
The second and third graders will<br />
continue to expand their knowledge<br />
and skills of machines while working<br />
through the Simple Machines program.<br />
Last but not least, our fourth and<br />
fifth graders will be challenged by the<br />
WeDO Robotics program. This activity<br />
involves programming their builds on the<br />
computer selecting their own sounds,<br />
movements and duration of the program.<br />
A student exhibit to display students’<br />
projects created in the RAD lab will take<br />
place during National Education Week,<br />
November 11-16.<br />
Due to the excitement of the RAD lab we<br />
have created a twitter account which will<br />
allow you to receive updates on many of<br />
the amazing skills we are learning. Our<br />
twitter account is @RADlab<strong>ghes</strong>.<br />
We would like to thank the PTA for their<br />
tremendous support in purchasing the<br />
Lego Education programs and allowing us<br />
to provide such a unique program for the<br />
students at GHES.

Common Core State Standards to be<br />
Implemented at <strong>Gold</strong> <strong>Hill</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong><br />
<strong>Gold</strong> <strong>Hill</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong> will be implementing<br />
the new state mandated reading<br />
and math standards this year in it’s<br />
K-2 programs. Next year will be a<br />
transition year for grades 3-5 with full<br />
implementation the following year.<br />
How are these standards different<br />
from how we already teach?<br />
There are many ways that common core<br />
standards are the same, but in math,<br />
students will be working on number<br />
sense from the very beginning. The best<br />
example of this is to teach numbers in<br />
a ten frame starting in Kindergarten so<br />
that when they are in 2nd and 3rd grade<br />
they will have a better understanding<br />
of addition and subtraction (i.e. 9+4 is<br />
the same as 10+3). Teachers will also be<br />
talking with the students at an earlier age<br />
about correct vocabulary. Some standards<br />
have moved grade levels and some<br />
standards that the kids previously did in<br />
6th grade, will now be introduced earlier.<br />
These new standards move away from<br />
teaching “horizontally” to teaching more<br />
“vertical”, with a deeper understanding.<br />
Because of this, teachers will be using<br />
books less and will be using hands-on<br />
activities more in class. Manipulatives<br />
used in these activities will be funded by<br />
the PTA. These are just a few examples of<br />
how teaching will change in the coming<br />
years.<br />
These are national standards used by<br />
most all states. We are hoping that<br />
because of this, the assessments will be<br />
common throughout the states.<br />
Background on the Common<br />
Core State Standards<br />
The Common Core State Standards<br />
Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated<br />
by the National Governors Association<br />
Center for Best Practices (NGA Center)<br />
and the Council of Chief State <strong>School</strong><br />
Officers (CCSSO). The standards were<br />
developed in collaboration with teachers,<br />
school administrators, and experts, to<br />
provide a clear and consistent framework<br />
to prepare our children for college<br />
and the workforce. The NGA Center<br />
and CCSSO received initial feedback<br />
on the draft standards from national<br />
organizations representing, but not<br />
limited to, teachers, postsecondary<br />
educators (including community colleges),<br />
civil rights groups, English language<br />
learners, and students with disabilities.<br />
Following the initial round of feedback,<br />
the draft standards were opened for<br />
public comment, receiving nearly 10,000<br />
responses. The standards are informed<br />
by the hi<strong>ghes</strong>t, most effective models<br />
from states across the country and<br />
countries around the world, and provide<br />
teachers and parents with a common<br />
understanding of what students are<br />
expected to learn. Consistent standards<br />
will provide appropriate benchmarks for<br />
all students, regardless of where they live.<br />
These standards define the knowledge<br />
and skills students should have within<br />
their K-12 education careers so that they<br />
will graduate high school able to succeed<br />
in entry-level, credit-bearing academic<br />
college courses and in workforce training<br />
programs.<br />
The standards:<br />
• Are aligned with college and<br />
work expectations;<br />
• Are clear, understandable and<br />
consistent;<br />
• Include rigorous content and<br />
application of knowledge through<br />
high-order skills;<br />
• Build upon strengths and lessons of<br />
current state standards;<br />
• Are informed by other top performing<br />
countries, so that all students are<br />
prepared to succeed in our global<br />
economy and society; and are<br />
evidence-based.<br />
Key Points In Mathematics:<br />
• The K-5 standards provide students<br />
with a solid foundation in whole<br />
numbers, addition, subtraction,<br />
multiplication, division, fractions and<br />
decimals—which help young students<br />
build the foundation to successfully<br />
apply more demanding math concepts<br />
and procedures, and move into<br />
applications.<br />
• In kindergarten, the standards follow<br />
successful international models and<br />
recommendations from the National<br />
Research Council’s Early Math Panel<br />
report, by focusing kindergarten work<br />
on the number core: learning how<br />
numbers correspond to quantities, and<br />
learning how to put numbers together<br />
and take them apart (the beginnings of<br />
addition and subtraction).<br />
• The K-5 standards build on the best<br />
state standards to provide detailed<br />
guidance to teachers on how to<br />
navigate their way through knotty<br />
topics such as fractions, negative<br />
numbers, and geometry, and do so by<br />
maintaining a continuous progression<br />
from grade to grade.<br />
• The standards stress not only<br />
procedural skill but also conceptual<br />
understanding, to make sure students<br />
are learning and absorbing the critical<br />
information they need to succeed at<br />
higher levels—rather than the current<br />
practices by which many students learn<br />
enough to get by on the next test, but<br />
forget it shortly thereafter, only to<br />
review again the following year.<br />
• Having built a strong foundation K-5,<br />
students can do hands on learning<br />
in geometry, algebra and probability<br />
and statistics. Students who have<br />
completed 7th grade and mastered<br />
the content and skills through the 7th<br />
grade will be well-prepared for algebra<br />
in grade 8.<br />

Accelerated Reader update<br />
The AR year is underway and we have started STAR testing for<br />
grades 2-5. The results of the STAR test are used to determine<br />
student’s individual reading level and quarterly reading goals.<br />
Students can take short quizzes on books they have read to earn<br />
points towards their goals.<br />
Our AR theme this year is “Dive Into Reading” and our year<br />
end celebration will be a Water Carnival! Students can earn a<br />
ticket to the carnival if they reach their AR goal in at least two<br />
quarters. Check out the AR board outside the Media Center and<br />
encourage your child to read each day and take their AR tests!<br />

HEAlTHy HORNETS FOOd FOR THOuGHT<br />
How Healthy is your Plate?<br />
Page 8 | October 2012 | The BeeLine<br />
Before you eat, think about<br />
what goes on your plate or<br />
in your cup or bowl. Foods<br />
like vegetables, fruits, whole<br />
grains, low fat dairy, and<br />
lean protein contain needed<br />
nutrients without excess<br />
calories.<br />
In 2010, the uSDA released an initiative to help<br />
children and adults make healthier food choices called<br />
“MyPlate”. MyPlate illustrates how to incorporate key<br />
foods from the five food groups into each meal.<br />
Below are some tips on how to use this tool in<br />
your home:<br />
• For children, use a smaller plate (lunch size). Adults<br />
can use a standard plate (9”).<br />
• Fill ½ of your plate with vegetables or a combination<br />
of fruit and vegetables. Make your choices as colorful<br />
as possible.<br />
• Divide the other ½ of your plate between grains/<br />
starches and lean protein.<br />
• Choose grains/starchy foods that are either 100%<br />
whole grain or high in fiber such as:<br />
1. 100% whole grain bread, crackers, cereal, and<br />
oats<br />
2. Whole wheat pasta, brown rice, quinoa, barley,<br />
beans, and legumes<br />
3. Whole grain tortillas, wraps, and pizza crust<br />
4. Sweet potatoes or sweet potato fries<br />
• Choose lean protein foods: chicken or turkey (skin<br />
removed), fish, seafood, beef loin, pork loin, round<br />
steak, 90% lean or leaner ground beef or poultry.<br />
Limit fried meats.<br />
• Other protein foods include: eggs or egg whites,<br />
reduced fat cheese, beans, nuts, nut butters, tofu,<br />
and soy protein.<br />
• Replace high fat dairy foods with skim or 1% milk.<br />
Choose yogurt with the least amount of sugar.<br />
• Avoid sodas, sweetened drinks, and fruit juice.<br />
Choose water and eat your fruit!<br />

Yes, GHES has a Green Team!<br />
For the 3rd year now, a <strong>team</strong> of 4th and 5th grade students have joined<br />
together to help make GHES a “<strong>green</strong> school”. Every Monday, the Green<br />
Team offers up part of their recess time to race through hallways emptying<br />
recycle bins of plastic, paper, aluminum and even cardboard!<br />
Teachers are asked to place bins outside their classroom door and offices by<br />
10 am each Monday for the Team to pick up. The Green Team Leaders, Kari<br />
Finnerty and Jennifer Levan, manage the group.<br />
A monthly GREEN TEAM TROPHy AWARD will be awarded to the<br />
classroom with the most recyclables!<br />
Also check the 5th grade hall ‘GREEN TEAM Recycle Wall’ and cafe bulletin<br />

account online.<br />
2. you can also participate by dropping off your Coke Product caps<br />
& labels with reward numbers into the Coke Rewards box located<br />
just inside the main entrance of GHES where the other drop off<br />
boxes are located.<br />
