Belleaire Elementary Motto
Nothing Less Than Our Best!
Here are a few reminders to help keep the school year running
smoothly.
• Please check in with the office after you are buzzed in every time you come into the building. We want to be able to greet you and be aware of who is in our building at all times.
• Students enter and exit the building through
their assigned grade level doors. This keeps us from having congested hallways and doors during those busy times.
• School hours: 8:00 a.m. -‐ 3:10 p.m. Students
should not be arriving before 7:50 a.m. unless they are eating breakfast. Breakfast starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 7:50 a.m.
• If your child will be absent or tardy for any
reason, please call the office at 402-‐293-‐4510 and let us know, otherwise we will call you.
Congratulations to the following classes for earning Belleaire Expectation
The A.C.E. Assemblies are a part of our Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS). A stands for Academics, C stands for Citizenship, and E stands for Effort. We want to encourage students to make decisions that demonstrate how they are responsible, respectful, and ready to learn. PBIS also includes discussions about Panther Pride and school-wide Expectations. Belleaire just loves to recognize our students with positive celebrations through Panther Praises and Classroom of the Week. We are excited to celebrate as individuals, classrooms, and as a school. At the end of every quarter, if your student has not received an office referral then the Belleaire Boogie Club is the place for them. This is a fun, highly energetic, mini school dance that promotes and celebrates those who have not gotten an office referral over that current quarter.
Greetings From Mrs. Darlington’s 3rd Grade Every day is a great day for learning in Room 20! We work together daily to be responsible class members, respectful citizens and ready to learn.
We are currently learning multiplication in Math, which is very exciting for the students. They love to share the multiplication facts they are learning.
The students have been enjoying our new Reading Street curriculum. Our current unit has included stories of Smart Solutions. The students’ excitement about reading is demonstrated in our outstanding showing in the Belleaire Million Minute Challenge. We take pride every week in the increase in our minutes as the students return their reading forms.
Another exciting part of being in 3rd grade is that we learn to write in cursive! Our new Handwriting Without Tears curriculum has proven to be a great resource for the students.
Remember to read every day, and keep practicing those multiplication facts. There is an incredible amount of growth that occurs during the 3rd grade year – and every day brings wonderful new opportunities!
Mrs. Ellis’ 2nd Grade
Stop the presses! Let's see what's happening in Mrs. Ellis's second grade class. We are all very excited as each student now has their own individual iPad, thanks to the #ipadacademy. Some of the apps we are currently using include iTunes U and Notability. We are using these apps to complete our Daily Spiral Review and Problem of the Day, which is part of the Math curriculum. We will continue to use the iPads throughout the year in all areas of the curriculum.
More From Mrs. Brand the Reading Teacher In one month, Belleaire staff and students have read over 120,000
minutes toward our Million Minute Reading Challenge! Why is it so important for your child to read 20 minutes per night?
Let’s check out the math:
Student A reads 20 minutes per night.
Student B reads 5 minutes per night.
By the end of a week, Student A will have read 140 minutes.
Student B will have read 35 minutes.
At the end of a month, Student A will have read 560 minutes.
Student B will have read 140 minutes.
When the school year is over, Student A will have read 7,280 minutes.
Student B will have read 1,820 minutes.
From the beginning of kindergarten to the end of sixth grade,
Student A will have read 50,960 minutes.
Student B will have read 12,740 minutes.
Which student would you expect to be a better reader, score higher on tests, and have a superior vocabulary?
Help our school reach our goal of reading one million minutes
by having your child read 20 minutes per night
and turn in his/her recording sheet every Monday!
The student in each class who reads the most minutes at the end of the school year will get to help make Mrs. Schubauer and Mr. Wellmann into
human ice cream sundaes!

A Note From Mrs. Campbell’s Preschool The preschool room is quite busy, but we are already having so much fun! We made our own play-doh and have been creating a lot of projects in the art center. A class favorite was making letters with our fingers in shaving cream. It was a little messy, but super fun! We just finished our Beginning of the Year unit. The preschoolers learned about the classroom rules and routines. We talked about the people who work in our school and even got a special visit from Mr. Jim, our head custodian! We just started our unit on Buildings. The preschoolers love to build tall towers in the block center and are curious about what they see in our school building. The preschoolers went on a field trip to Fontenelle Forest in September! This was the first time being on a bus for some of the preschoolers, so it was quite an adventure. We explored the forest and saw a turtle, rabbit, and snake. They even let us touch the rabbit and snake! Remember to keep reading to your preschooler at home! This class loves books…our reading center has been extra busy this year!
Belleaire Direction Statement: The Belleaire community prepares students for their future by setting high expectations for all. We ensure that students achieve “Nothing Less Than Our Best” by fostering a climate of teamwork, academic excellence, and respect.
