“Picnic for the Planet” &  Art in the Park

The event will be held on Monday from 11:25-1:15 pm. The students will be enjoying lunch outside with their friends and classmates! 
We are encouraging you to please pack a lunch for your child on this day to make it easier for them 🙂
Students may bring in blankets or towels to sit on during the event if they do not like sitting on the grass.

Kindergarten Readers

Kindergarten parents,

The majority of our class is excelling in reading and sight word recognition so it is time to begin preparing for those first grade reading expectations!

I am sending home a comprehension question page to help you when you are reading with your child at home 🙂 Please ask them 2-3 of these questions when they are finished with a book!

Thank you for your support at home!

Mrs. Chammout

Wolf Fundraiser

It’s time for the Penny/Nickel challenge!

This week, we are continuing our endangered animal adoption project. We are reusing milk jugs to collect money for adopting a wolf through the Detroit Zoo, and we need your help!

We are asking for your help with our penny/nickel challenge.

Bring in as many extra pennies or nickels as you can to help fill our jugs! At the end of the week, we’ll count up the totals and announce our winners!

Did you know???

A single wolf can eat up to 20 pounds of food in one sitting!

Market Day!

Please come and join the first graders (and k/1 split) as we celebrate the end of our Economics unit with Market Day! Market Day is all about determining wants and needs, producing goods and services and trading. Family and friends are invited to help celebrate the world of producers and consumers by shopping at our market from 9am-11am on Tuesday, April 24th. All goods will range from .10 cents to $1.00. All Haigh students will have the opportunity to shop at our market, so if your child would like to purchase something, please send them to school with their money. Hope to see you there!

 

To help make this event a success, we are in need of 16-20 parent volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering during the event on Tuesday from 8:45-11:00, please fill out the bottom portion of this sheet and return to your child’s teacher by Tuesday, April 17th.

We are also in desperate need of donated baked goods (cookies, brownies, cupcakes, chocolate covered pretzels, etc.). These goods can be produced at home with your child and brought to school Thursday or Friday (19th and 20th) morning. We will be selling these baked goods as part of our Market Day, so please wrap each baked good individually.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

You will find a paper copy of this note to return to school in your child’s folder this afternoon. All proceeds from our Market Day will go toward purchasing a bus for our last field trip of the year to help keep ticket prices as low as possible.

Thank you again for all of your support – it is truly appreciated!

 

The first grade team 🙂
