www.wordle.net is a web based graphic design tool which gives you a new way to look at words and their relationships. The words from the Preamble to the Constitution were copied and pasted into Wordle and this image was generated. From the image you can tell which words are stated most frequently as they increase in size accordingly. Team Atkins @ Boosterthon

The Thursday Post for September 10
Thank you for your willingness to cooperate in our Green School Initiative. CVES has already saved significant time and money by reducing our paperwork production. In this transitional time, you will occasionally find flyers sneaking into the Thursday folders due to the need for collecting signatures for Early Release transportation, in-house field trips, volunteer sign up sheets for Book Fair and PTA committee positions. Please review these announcements and send in the completed forms. In time, we hope to automate as much of these tasks as possible and we thank you for your patience.- Cheetah Chat
- Science Lab News Grade 3
- Early Release Transportation Form
- Boosterthon Donation Extension Letter
The Science Adventure Zone hosts a wide range of science labs which are aligned with the Georgia Professional Standards. Each lab has been carefully researched and material prepared to fully engage and support students in the acquisition of knowledge. Grade 3 uses owl pellet dissection in order to develop an understanding for animal adaptations, habitats and the food web. If you ever have the chance to volunteer, don't miss out! You can fill in the science gaps from your own childhood! It's fun.
Mrs. Perez, the Curriculum Support Specialist looks on as a parent volunteer assists students with the dissection process.

Families to Watch the Obama Message Together
Dear Parents,
On September 8, President Barack Obama will host a special webcast directed to schoolchildren.
As you know, the Fulton County School System focuses on instruction and teaching the state's new curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards, so that students can achieve - and exceed - their personal and educational goals. Daily instructional time is a precious resource; therefore, schools are under no obligation to watch the hour-long address, either through the webcast or on CSPAN.
Creek View ES will not be airing this broadcast at school. Families have the option of watching the president's remarks with their children outside of the school day, as the speech is expected to be available on both the White House and CSPAN web sites after the broadcast.
Sincerely,
Mr. Matthew Rogers
Principal
Creek View Elementary
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." - Albert Einstein

The Thursday Post for September 3
Dear Parents,
We are so pleased that all of you who are able to receive email have elected to receive communications via the web. This is going to be a tremendous savings for Creek View and you will not be inundated with papers. Today it may not appear that the plan is working! You have only two email links to pdf files and 5 different colorful flyers in your student's folder. Never fear, we are working out some kinks in this process.
Read this paragraph if you ever plan to create a flyer for distribution:
Essentially we all have to get used to the idea that any items submitted for distribution must be emailed to Mrs. Gerlich by Wednesday, approved for distribution by Admin. and then they can be uploaded and posted in your weekly Thursday Folder email announcement. With a little help, any document can be converted into a pdf file. In fact if you use Google docs you don't even need to purchase Adobe Pdf Maker, so it's free. Other such services exist as well. In addition, hand written documents can be scanned as pdf files or embedded into documents and then turned into pdf files. Once the pdf has been approved, you would simply provide 100 copies that we could use for the handful of people who need them and as back up copies.
- Monthly PTA Newsletter, Creek View Connections
- Grade Levels will email/send their own newsletters at the beginning of each month.

Daily instructional time is a precious resource; therefore, schools are under no obligation to watch the hour-long address, either through the webcast or on CSPAN.
In the event a school plans to show the broadcast, parents will be notified ahead of time as well as be provided an opportunity to opt out their students through the form below. Although suggested lesson plans have been shared, they will not be used since they are not a part of the required state curriculum. No child will be penalized if he or she does not participate in the broadcast.
Families also have the option of watching the president’s remarks with their children outside of the school day, as the speech is expected to be available on both the White House (www.whitehouse.gov) and CSPAN (www.c-span.org) web sites after the broadcast.
