Beautification Day Is Coming Back!  Buy a Plant for Warner!

Join your Warner Families, Teachers and Staff on Saturday, February 11th to help beautify our great campus!
You and your child will have the opportunity to purchase their own individual lantana bush which they can then plant on the campus grounds.
Some basic tools will be available, but if you can bring shovel it would be great.
Your plant will be an everlasting memory to the GREAT experience that is Warner Avenue Elementary.
Come join us in making Warner not only the best, but the most beautiful!

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO ART, COMPUTER, P.E., OR SCIENCE?
Has your child spent time in the Computer Lab? Perhaps participated in an Art or P.E. class? Attended Science Lab? Or was helped by the teaching assistant in their class? These programs are FULLY supported by the Warner Annual Fund. Without your contributions we would not have these classes.

If you have not made your contribution, please do so today! You can do it securely on-line at https://warnerfundraising.org/warner-annual-fund/

Currently, we are at 51% contribution school-wide, but anything short of 100% participation could result in program reduction or cuts in 2017-2018.  All donations are voluntary however, since the Warner Annual Fund benefits all Warner students, WAVE encourages all families to give (either at the suggested amount or an amount that is meaningful to you).
Thank you so much to all the families that have already made their contribution! Please CLICK HERE to view the most up to date list of WAF supporters. If you do not see your name or wish for it to be displayed another way, please contact Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

It doesn’t cost you any more money to shop Amazon through Warner and doesn’t affect your Prime account.  Your purchases are completely anonymous!

Week of 01/16/2017
Principal’s Corner: A Message From Principal Kamau
New Instruction Program at Warner
   
Warner School Teaching and Learning Success Requires an Engaged, Collaborative Community – Agnes Kamau

You are invited to a short talk about a new and dynamic writing program that some of our Warner teachers are implementing in the classroom called Writing Workshop. The talk about Writing Workshop will be lead by one of our parents, Rebecca George, and our Principal, Agnes Kamau, on Monday, January 30th in the Banooni Auditorium right after morning assembly from 8:45am-9:45am. Rebecca is an educational consultant and recruiter and she’s also one of the founders of The City School, a charter middle school on the Westside. She currently serves as Chair of our School Site Council (SSC).

Here’s a brief explanation of what Writing Workshop is all about! Please come to the talk on January 30th to learn more and ask questions.
 
Writing Workshop is a method of writing instruction that has been popularized by Lucy Calkins and others involved in the Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University in New York. Writing Workshop is used in many of the top private/independent schools across the nation as well as the best public and charter schools. This method of instruction focuses on the goal of fostering lifelong writers. It is based upon four principles: students will write about their own lives, they will use a consistent writing process, they will work in authentic ways, and they will develop independence as writers.
Writing Workshop is designed for use in all grade levels. Each grade level has specific units of study tailored to meet developmental and curricular needs. Students have a large amount of choice in their topic and style of writing. The teacher acts as a mentor author, modeling writing techniques and conferring with students as they move through the writing process. Direct writing instruction takes place in the form of a mini-lesson at the beginning of each workshop and is followed by a minimum of 45 minutes of active writing time. Each workshop ends with a sharing of student work.
The units of study are aligned with the Common Core and focus on a balance of narrative and nonfiction writing, informational, persuasive writing, and the revision process.
We encourage all parents to please attend the talk on Monday, January 30th in the Banooni Auditorium right after morning assembly, from 8:45am-9:45am. Please spread the word and invite your Warner friends to attend with you. The talk will include a Q&A and should be a lively discussion!
Bread ‘n Jam Slam

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO ART, COMPUTER, P.E., OR SCIENCE?
Has your child spent time in the Computer Lab? Perhaps participated in an Art or P.E. class? Attended Science Lab? Or was helped by the teaching assistant in their class? These programs are FULLY supported by the Warner Annual Fund. Without your contributions we would not have these classes.

If you have not made your contribution, please do so today! You can do it securely on-line at https://warnerfundraising.org/warner-annual-fund/

Currently, we are at 51% contribution school-wide, but anything short of 100% participation could result in program reduction or cuts in 2017-2018.  All donations are voluntary however, since the Warner Annual Fund benefits all Warner students, WAVE encourages all families to give (either at the suggested amount or an amount that is meaningful to you).
Thank you so much to all the families that have already made their contribution! Please CLICK HERE to view the most up to date list of WAF supporters. If you do not see your name or wish for it to be displayed another way, please contact Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com
Interested in Being a Wildcat Sponsor?
 
Wildcat Sponsors automatically become sponsors of the Spring Auction and Warner Walk.  Your name will appear in the courtyard as a sponsor before those events. You will also receive admission for two to the Spring Auction and your child will have a Warner Walk T-shirt and goodies delivered to their classroom.
Did you already contribute and now want to become a Wildcat Sponsor? It’s not too late.  Please email Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com for details.

Need a New Year’s Resolution?  How About You Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money??? : )
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

Bring out your inner Wildcat!  Join Warner Wear Wednesdays!!
From now on, every Wednesday is WARNER WEAR WEDNESDAY! Warner students (and their parents) are encouraged to wear any Warner shirt (vintage or new).  That could be their field trip shirt, Haunt shirt, Warner Walk shirts or one of the cool Warner Wear shirts available at the Warner Wear Store.
*No purchase necessary, but if you do want to buy new gear, we have a wide range of t’s and sweatshirts for adults and kids at the Warner store, open Mondays at assembly and Fridays at dismissal.   We’re proud of our school and proud of our students; Warner Wear Wednesdays!
Free Zone Volunteers

Calling all parents of grades 1-5!
Come and tap into your inner-Picasso, as a volunteer at the Art/Free Zone tables, while enjoying the lovely children of Warner Avenue.  Enjoy an afternoon playing board games, directing an art activity, or just simply creating through writing, art and conversation. Your role can be as simple as a supervisor, or as demanding as a facilitator of your own project.

For further instruction, or questions, please contact either Paula Lewis at paulafmlewis@gmail.com or Sherry Lavian at sklavian@yahoo.com. We are happy to get you started with your first shift.

Please note, if you plan a project, it should take no longer than 10 minutes. The children are only at the tables for 15 mins max.
