PBIS Celebration!

Dear Families,

On Monday, October 31st we will be having our first PBIS celebration of the year. This celebration is to recognize your child’s positive behavior for the month of October. Our theme will be a Fall Festival! This event will take place outside, so let’s hope the weather stays pleasant!

Be sure to check the weather forecast and make sure your child is dressed appropriately.  Students will be outside for 45 minutes, therefore, a scarf, hat or mittens may be good idea.

Thank you,

Haigh PBIS Committee

The students had a challenge to use a lightbulb, D cell battery and a wire to light the bulb. It was great to see them try various ways until they figured out that they needed a closed circuit to make it work.

The students are struggling with using the correct there, their or they’re in their writing. We have gone over the reasons for each one in class. Also we have practiced using them in sentences. Yet they still need more practice. I will quiz them on this next week.

I have recommended that they look at some sites online for practice. Here are a few to start them out.
