Howe Character trait of the month – Hello Parents, Here at Howe, we are introducing monthly character traits to build a school-wide culture. This month we will be discussing Integrity. Integrity can be hard… Especially at school. Students nowadays have lots of pressure to perform perfectly on tests, not get in
trouble, and have lots of friends. But what happens when the truth comes into question and they have to make some hard decisions that feel uncomfortable? Although they’re in elementary school we can be seen working on Integrity daily through the simplest things. Here is our Parent Letter about Integrity.

Art Club and Trait of the Month

The trait of the month is Optimism. Here is a parent letter.

Here is a letter from Mrs. Hmayed about Art Club

Good morning everyone! 

          I’m back to school from a long and relaxing maternity leave, and more excited than ever to be back at work with all my students! I would first like to say that my family and I appreciate everyone’s kind words and gifts being sent for our baby boy, and we all sincerely hope you had a wonderful winter break! 

          Starting on Friday, February 2nd, I will be hosting Art Club for another year! This upcoming week I will be sending home information,  permission slips/applications for the Art Club. I will explain to all grades their expectations for becoming a member, but I kindly ask that you would please review this with your children at home as well.               

           I’ve decided to offer Art Club to all grades K-5 this year. I am trying to accept as many students as possible! In order for me to do that, I’ll need your help! Coming soon, I will create a signup sheet for Art Club parent volunteers. We will meet once a week on Friday’s from 4-6pm.

We have some amazing big projects coming up and we can use all the help we can get. 

If you have any questions or concerns, as always, please do not hesitate to contact me, and reach out!

BoxTops Mailbox – we are looking for a mildly handy individual to help repurpose the BoxTop Mailbox into a school-wide mailbox for all the students. Can you (or someone you know) lend us a hand? Email the PTA at howe.schoolpta@yahoo.comMontessori MomentTerm to ponder – practical life skillsPractical life activities are applicable for all ages. They include self-care and care of the environment. They range from brushing their hair and making toast to something as complicated as making dessert, doing yard work or even developing a resume and making a business plan in the elementary or middle school years. Practicing these skills at home will foster confident, self-sufficient adults ready to tackle life’s bigger challenges.From Maria Montessori herself…“Repetition is the secret to perfection, and this is why the exercises are connected with the common activities of daily life. If a child does not set a table for a group of people who are really going to eat, if he does not have real brushes for cleaning, and real carpets to sweep whenever they are used, if he does not himself have to wash and dry dishes and glasses he will never attain any real ability. And if he does not live a social life based on proper education. He will never attain that graceful naturalness which is so attractive in our children. ”
