Welcome To The Captain William G. Shoemaker Elementary School
Welcome back. Our staff has been working hard in preparation for what promises to be a great year. Let's kick off the school year with a renewed determination to create the most positive and challenging learning environment for our students. For our part, we will offer a first rate educational experience and in return ask that you ensure your child's regular attendance. We also ask that you make a genuine effort to be involved in your son's and daughter's school throughout the year. Let's work together so that everyone wins: Parents, teachers, and students.

Public Notice to comply with P.L. 107-1 10, Section1111 (h) (6) (A)
The Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires school districts that receive federal Title I funding to notify parents of their right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct their child.
As a recipient of these funds, the Lynn Public Schools will provide you with this information in a timely manner if you request it. Specifically, you have the right to request the following information about each of your child's classroom teachers.
• Whether the teacher meets the state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and subjects he/she teaches.
• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status because of special circumstances.
• The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.
• Whether paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if so, their qualifications.
The Lynn Public School System is committed to providing quality instruction for all students and does so by employing the most qualified individuals to teach and support each student in the classroom. If you would like information about the qualifications of your child's teachers, you may contact the principal of your child's school. |

Lynn Schools Healthy Meals Program
The Lynn School Food Service Program is comprised of a partnership between Preferred Meals Systems and Chartwells.

Removing all fried foods from the menu and zero trans-fat in all foods. Look fore more exciting changes to come in the near future. Click here for School Lunch Menus and Food Program |

Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System
The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is designed to meet the requirements of the Education Reform Law of 1993. This law specifies that the testing program must
- Test all public school students in Massachusetts, including students with disabilities and English Language Learner students;
- Measure performance based on the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework learning standards;
- Report on the performance of individual students, schools, and districts.
As required by the Education Reform Law, students must pass the grade 10 tests in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics and one of the four high school Science and Technology Engineering tests as one condition of eligibility for a high school diploma (in addition to fulfilling local requirements).
In addition, the MCAS program is used to hold schools and districts accountable, on a yearly basis, for the progress they have made toward the objective of the No Child Left Behind Law that all students be proficient in Reading and Mathematics by 2014.

Shoemaker Curriculum | Resources Overview
Dear Parents,
To work on improving student achievement we have implemented School Wide Routines in all grades. By using common language, strategies, and practices throughout the school, the students will become very familiar with them. Some examples are:
| 2 Column Notes: |
| |
Students write main ideas in column 1 and details in column 2 |
| |
Students write vocabulary in column 1 and definition in column 2 |
Get the Gist:
A practice to help students learn how to summarize sections of text |
| BUS: Bracket the question, Underline key words, Solve the problem |
The routines we are using in ELA and in Math are included here so that you know what your child is talking about if he/she mentions them. We are hearing that students frequently use the term BUS when doing homework. I hope these explanations help. If you have any questions please drop by and we can provide more examples.
We are using new Math and ELA Standards. In Math students must be able to show through “visual representation” how they got their answers. They may draw a picture or graph but they cannot just provide an answer. An example:
2 X 3 = ______ OO OO OO
3 X 3 = ______ ooo ooo ooo
In all subject areas students must explain both verbally and in writing. For example, after reading a story they will be given questions that will require them to answer and then explain how they know or what was in the story that led them to their answer. Because of this we need to include a lot of writing instruction in all subject areas so we will not be scheduling a separate writing period. We hope you find this information helpful. I will try to update this page as we tweak our instructional plans.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pat Riley
| ELA Routines |
GET THE GIST
To be done with class or small group
- Read a section of story or chapter
- Brainstorm who and what section is about
- Revisit brainstorm and eliminate what is not important
- Write a 10-12 word sentence using the info from the brainstorm to create a one sentence summary of that section
- After all sections have been completed combine sentences to form the summary. Revise to make it flow. |

SELF-HELP STRATEGIES
- Identify vocabulary you do not know:
circle, write it on a post-it note, in a notebook, or on a scrap of paper
- Think First. (pause) Then Remember we …
- Clink (what makes sense), Clunk (what am I not getting?)
- Give students time to work it out. Place something on desk (e.g. paper clip) “I know you are having trouble. Keep trying. I will be back.” |
