Math- Lesson 13 page 59-60. We are actually on lesson 15 if you want your child to continue on to 15. Those that were absent and have returned may have too much math homework to do all the pages. Take your time working on it.

Moby Max and Homework

I forgot to blog the homework for yesterday.

Math- Lesson 12 page p55-56.

New Moby Max Contest- So Thursday we had our little Moby Max Party for the students. We handed out certificates, gave a treat for those children that scored 100+ and we all danced to go noodle videos. Me too!! Our hope was that all the students surpassed 100+. Moby Max is a perfect way to prepare for NWEA. Anyway, we are beginning another contest for March, but this time we are including phonics and vocabulary as well as literature and informational reading! I already have a student with over 1,000 points!!!! I know some of you have had difficulty logging in at home. Trouble shooting is the best way to solve this problem. If you get the green screen in Moby Max that says to type school name and choose from a list of schools, ignore that and go to the bottom where it says log in with clever. Click that and it will take you right in. Also remember that your child needs his/her google account to be able to log in. Good Luck!

Field Trip

We will be going to the Dearborn Historical Museum on Monday, March 23 from 9:00-11:45. We will be riding the bus. Chaperones are needed and can ride the bus too, or drive yourself there. We will be sharing a bus with River Oaks. The cost is $5 per student. Chaperones are free! We will eat lunch at school when we return from the trip. I am sending a permission slip today!

March is Reading Month

                3-2-20

Dear Howe Parents,      

The March is Reading Month theme this year will be “Books from Around the World”.  Each classroom will choose a book from a country and read it. Classrooms will visit each other to hear other teachers read new stories to them. We will have a map to color for each country visited.  Each room will also decorate their classroom door with the book theme and country. The winner of the door decorating contest will get a party paid for by the PTA. We will also have a Reading Participation Contest too!  Students are expected to:

  • Read 20 minutes each night. 
  • Fill out a reading log passport and send the log in each Monday.  The teacher will stamp the reading log. At the end of the month, all students that participated will get a small prize.  They will also get a participation ticket and be entered into a drawing. The Montessori student prizes will be one girl and one boy bike. The participation winner for Special Ed will receive an appropriate prize for that specific student.
  • The classroom with the most participation will also earn a party.

Other events happening this month include the Scholastic Book Fair on March 18, 19 and 20, as well as a Book Swap towards the end of the month. More information to come home soon about these.  We will also have an assembly at the end of the month to announce the winner of the bikes, Special Ed. prize, door decorating contest winner and the class with the most participation.   Happy Reading,  Howe Staff

March is Reading Month- Parent Readers!

Our class would like to invite parents to come and read books to our class.  We did this last year and the children really enjoyed this time.  Ms. Truxall’s class is available for 15 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays this month from 3:00-3:15.  Those dates are March 3 and 5, 10 and 12, 17 and 19, 24 and 26, 31.  Please email me which day you prefer to come and read to us. Then on your day, come to class and read picture books or chapters in a chapter book to the students. The books are your choice.  Your son/daughter can help you make that decision.  Please do not bring any treats for the children this year.  Thanks.
