U.S. Department of Education Visits Sandburg

Mar 4, 2020 Did you know that Sandburg School was visited last week by the United States Department of Education?  It was very exciting to have guests from Washington DC visit Sandburg!  Our school was chosen for a visit because of our strong work in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports or PBIS.  At Sandburg, this includes the work we do with the children around our three “respects” (Respect yourself.  Respect others.  Respect property).

Sandburg's Home - School Agreement: The Student's Role

Mar 4, 2020 As the weather warms up, it’s often tempting to put less emphasis on school.  Although this is a natural temptation, it’s not in the best interest of our children.  With a quarter of the school year left, it’s important for boys and girls to “give it all they’ve got. READ MORE

Sandburg: Responding to Errors in Your Child's Reading

Feb 18, 2020 Based on the way most of us were taught to read, we tell children to “sound it out” when they come to a word they don’t know.  While this is the most common cue from parents, it often won’t help our children.  When your child has trouble reading a word, give him about 5 seconds.  See what he tries to do himself.
