Day of Play

Dear Families,

On Wednesday, May 30th we will be having a PBIS celebration to recognize your child’s positive behavior. This month’s celebration theme is A Day of Play. We will be having our lunch outside and enjoying outdoor play, so let’s hope the weather stays pleasant!

Your child may bring a towel or blanket to sit on during the picnic lunch, and we strongly encourage students bring a brown bag lunch since we will be eating outside. However, l a bag lunch (cheese, crackers, or hummus and pitta) will still be available for purchase in the cafeteria.

Thank you,

Haigh PBIS Committee

 

NWEA IS TOMORROW!

Tomorrow the kindergarten and first grade students will begin their NWEA math test.

Please make sure your child gets a good night’s rest tonight and wakes up with a big, healthy breakfast to get their brains going in the morning! Please stress the importance of these tests to your child and encourage them to take their time, listen to the questions and do their best- the test is not a race.

Next week, we will take the reading NWEA test.  Wish us luck!!

Thank you for your continued support 🙂

REMINDER: FIELD DAY IS TOMORROW

9:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades

On May 14th, students need to wear clothes that will allow them to be physically active outside, including tennis shoes.  They need to bring a water bottle. Students are highly encouraged to bring a water bottle that can be refilled at the refill station that we will provide!

 

See everyone in the morning!

NWEA is coming! Please help support our review at home :)

 

It’s that time of year again – our third and final NWEA test(s) of the year! As a reminder, we take the test in two subject areas, reading and math. These are the two main content areas in which first grade focuses on, so we see a lot of growth in these areas throughout the course of the year. Now that the school year is quickly coming to a close, it is time for them to shine and show us everything they have learned this year 🙂

Testing is scheduled from May 14-May 24. I do not have a schedule of days and times yet, but it will be sometime within this time frame.

 

I have posted these resources before and emailed them to those who sent addresses, but I wanted to share them again because they are a great tool in preparing your child for these upcoming tests. They have worked on them with a partner during our Daily 5 rotations and math workshops. They are familiar with them and should be practicing them regularly.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

To help us celebrate another fantastic school year, we will be having Field Day on Monday, May 14, 2018.  For this Field Day event students will work through stations with their class to develop skills they have learned in physical education and have tons of fun!  The schedule for the event is as follows:

9:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades

1:00 PM – 3:00 PM: 3rd, 4th and 5th Grades

On May 14, students need to wear clothes that will allow them to be physically active outside, including tennis shoes.  They need to bring a water bottle. Students are highly encouraged to bring a water bottle that can be refilled at the refill station that we will provide.

We are looking for one parent from each classroom to donate a treat for the entire class to enjoy after their session.  We are also pre-selling Fla-vor-ice as a cool treat for students to enjoy during the activities. The cost for the Fla-vor-ice is $0.50, only one Fla-vor-ice per student please. Fla-vor-ice money is due by Monday, May 7.

Lastly, we need 15 parent volunteers for both sessions to help run stations.  If you are interested in volunteering, fill out the lower portion and return it to Mr. Peecher.  Please, contact Mr. Peecher with any questions.

Thanks!  The PBIS/Field Day Committee  peeches@dearbornschools.org

*We will only be able to accommodate students & parent volunteers for this event.
