Dear Winfield Families We are in the final quarter of the 2018-2019 school year and it has been an amazing year at Winfield. As the school year winds down, students and teachers are still very focused on learning. The end of year is a time when students are able to demonstrate what they have learned. Students will be completing Carroll County Public Schools math and ELA assessments in grades pre-K-5 throughout May and June. Students in grade 3-5 will also be demonstrating their learning in math and ELA by completing standardized state assessments. Please remember that attendance is extremely important at all times throughout the year, including the end of the year. We want to extend congratulations to all of the staff, students and families at Winfield for the dedication to teaching and learning that they have demonstrated this year! Please make sure to look at all of the upcoming events that will be occurring at Winfield from now until the end of the year. We also want to wish you all a safe and relaxing summer, which is fast approaching!

Dear Winfield Families
We are in the final quarter of the 2018-2019 school year and it has been an amazing year at Winfield. As
the school year winds down, students and teachers are still very focused on learning. The end of year is
a time when students are able to demonstrate what they have learned. Students will be completing
Carroll County Public Schools math and ELA assessments in grades pre-K-5 throughout May and
June. Students in grade 3-5 will also be demonstrating their learning in math and ELA by completing
standardized state assessments. Please remember that attendance is extremely important at all times
throughout the year, including the end of the year. We want to extend congratulations to all of the
staff, students and families at Winfield for the dedication to teaching and learning that they have
demonstrated this year! Please make sure to look at all of the upcoming events that will be occurring at
Winfield from now until the end of the year. We also want to wish you all a safe and relaxing summer,
which is fast approaching!

ATTN: Parents and Families! Help Winfield Elementary School be a Children’s Mental Health School
Champion May 6-10 is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week in Maryland. Thursday, May 9 wear green to support children’s mental health.
Fast Facts about Children’s Mental Health
Mental Health refers to a person’s overall social, emotional, behavioral and psychological well-being. It impacts how we think, feel, and act, including how a child: 1. Feels about himself/herself 2. Relates to other children and adults 3. Handles change, stress and other life situations
1 in 5 children experience a mental, emotional or behavioral health problem before age 18. These problems affect children of all demographic groups, regardless of education, income, race or culture.
Up to 70% of school-aged children with a diagnosable mental illness do not receive treatment. Early intervention is the best way to prevent long-term or severe conditions into adulthood.
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week is a great time to learn more about children’s mental health and to check out available resources to help ensure all children have the opportunity to be successful in school, at home, in the community, and in their future and adult lives.
Read more about the signs and symptoms of mental health problems and find resources, including our Family Resource Kit, at www.childrensmentalhealthmatters.org.
ECSN NEWS Your children have grown so much since they started. It has been a pleasure to watch their growth. We will continue to focus on your child’s IEP objectives. Bugs for May and Beach for June will be the themes for the remainder of the year. Bugs, fish, sand, beach ball and seashells
will be utilized for working on the children’s IEP goals and objectives. The Ants go Marching will be the rhyme for the month of May and June. Check school newsletter for important dates and information: Here are some highlighted dates: Special dates May 7- we will finger-paint – wear old clothes May 9 – Big Truck Night at the Carroll County Career and Vo-tech center. May 10 – 10:00 a.m. We will have a lamb come to school. You may bring your child to visit the lamb. You must stay with your child as I will be with the morning class. The lamb will be on our playground! We will be out with the lamb but with our group from the morning class. May 18 – Spring Fair at Winfield Play day May 31– we will attend for a small amount of time. Parents and siblings are welcomed to attend. When we get the play day schedule I will let you know when we will go outside. June 14 - 3:00-3:30. We will have an end of year celebration by enjoying your child’s artwork and music. We will enjoy time together on the playground (your child’s favorite part of the day), sharing artwork and music. June 17 – our last day of school As always, any questions please feel free to contact me at 410-795-6701 (12:35-1:15 is the best time) or write a note in your child’s notebook. Thank-you,
In math, we will end the year with Unit 5: Geometry, Partitioning, and Unit 6: Foundations of Multiplication. During Unit 5, your child will develop an understanding of how to describe and analyze shapes by examining their sides and angles. Students will investigate, describe, and reason about decomposing and combining shapes to make other shapes. Students will also partition circles and rectangles into two, three or four equal shares, describing the shares using the words, halves, thirds, half of, and thirds. Students will recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape. During Unit 6, your child will work with equal groups and arrays of objects to gain foundations for multiplication. Students will find the total number of objects arranged in equal groups or rows/columns by using repeated addition and/or skip counting. Students will begin to learn strategies in order to ensure fluency with foundational multiplication facts of 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. This unit will help transition our students into third grade. In science, we will study the remaining two units. The first unit is entitled, Matter and Its Interaction. Students will describe and classify matter by its observable properties. Students will know that different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Students will learn that engineers are people who use a process to help solve problems or make things better. We will teach the students to use the Engineering Design Process as an organized way to study a problem and identify possible solutions. The last unit is entitled, Earth Systems. Throughout this unit, students will learn that wind and water can change the shape of the land quickly or slowly. Students will be able to explain that water is located in the oceans, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Water can exist in liquid or solid form. During our Design Challenge, students will understand there is more than one possible solution to a problem. This will become evident through comparing and testing our designs. Please assist your child in practicing his/her math facts. All playground facts must be mastered by the end of second grade. Please refer to the timeline if you need assistance. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
