Who:  ALL second grade students only. Unfortunately with our current circumstances, parents and siblings will not be able to attend our function. 

When:  10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Wednesday, June 16th, 2021. 

Where: Haigh Elementary-Upper El. Playground (near basketball court off of Silvery Lane)

What to bring: Sack lunch, plenty of water, apply sunscreen BEFORE coming to the playground, towel or blanket to sit on, hat, outdoor toys (chalk, balls, jumprope, etc.)

Why: To celebrate our soon to be third graders as a whole group full of fun! 

*Please use the restroom before coming at 10 to minimize indoor traffic with ALL the students. 

We will monitor the weather that morning. Please check your emails or messages at 9:30 a.m. if the weather seems questionable. If we cannot proceed with our outdoor plan, we will have to cancel the picnic. 🙁 

Thank you for a wonderful year! Looking forward to our picnic!

Second Grade Teachers~

Please make sure all computers are fully charged!! If possible, bring your power cord to school just in case.

Water bottles are very important as the temperature continues to rise. (All the school water fountains are not in use at this time.)

Thank you

Happy Sunday families!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend and for those who celebrate is having a nice Ramadan. The schedule for the week is posted below. Those who are signed up for extended day, that begins this week, on the 2 days your child is at school, from 2:30-3:30.

I’m also nearing 38 weeks pregnant, so I could be gone any day now 🙂 April 30th will be my last official day before maternity leave begins, unless she decides to come sooner! Mrs. Maria Bolger will be subbing for me and I’m confident leaving my class in her hands. She has been around Haigh for many, many years and is there daily in the building. She has been sitting in our classroom and has joined our Zoom’s to see how things run on a daily basis to try and keep things the same for the class.

I plan to be back in June, depending on when she comes, to close out the year with the kiddos. It’s been a challenging, yet rewarding year with this class because we had to be online for so long and adjust to new learning. But they all did so great and proved to me how much they learned when they came back in class, I’m so happy I got to be in person with them for a couple months at least 🙂 They definitely have impressed me!

I will keep you all posted as to when my last day ends up being and I will send pictures of the baby! While I’m on leave, you can contact Mrs. Bolger through a Schoology message (Zoom and Schoology will stay the same) or through email. Her email address is: bolgerm@dearbornschools.org.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. The kids are aware that Mrs. Bolger will be taking over shortly. Thank you for your support and encouragement this year and have a wonderful week ahead!

Happy Sunday! I hope you all enjoyed the warmth and sunshine today, we sure did over here 🙂 We are now in Week 28. Group A I will see you at school tomorrow, Group B please be on Zoom promptly at 8:40 to discuss the checklist. Please note on the schedule that it is also Spirit Week this week.

Monday- Pajama Day

Tuesday-Twin Day

Thursday- Dress like a book character

Friday- Hat Day

We are starting Unit 8 for ELA, and also Module 6 for Math. The card marking ended on Friday and we are now in the last card marking of the year! It’s hard to believe that!

Please, please make sure your child is bringing everything to and from school on their days in- fully charged chromebooks, math books, ELA foldable, folder, white board/marker. I do not have extra of these things to provide your child when they do not bring them. Also please note that the Zoom times for their asynchronous days are at 8:40. If they log on late they miss info, and we are only on for about 15 minutes or so.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a great week!

Hi families! Sorry for the late blog post, my son had a hockey tournament all day in Fraser, and we ended up playing until the Championship and took home the gold! Proud mom over here 🙂

On the schedule this week you’ll find the checklist for Group A and Group B. Your child will have to get on live Zoom’s with their special teachers- 3 a day when at home. I would have them go to their schoology accounts at that time and find the zoom links. The only one that won’t be live is Media for now, but there will be a video posted for the kids.

We will be reviewing and testing for the end of Module 5 this week, so I only assigned Zearn for work on their off days. They will also take the Spelling Test at school starting this week.

Please only have your child work on the check list on the days they are not in school. Please do not have them work ahead!!!! Please make sure they are packing a snack and have all their books and materials with them when they come to Haigh for the 2 days. It’s a heavy backpack I know, but unfortunately the only way to do it because they are remote the other 3 days.
Any questions, don’t hesitate!!

Hi families! I’m excited to welcome your child back Monday or Tuesday of this week 🙂 This week will look the same as last, with in person for Group A on Monday- Group B on Tuesday. When they are not in school these days, they will have a checklist (on the schedule or schoology) of work to complete. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be our normal Zoom meetings. Next week is when we will begin full hybrid.

Please be sure your child has their chromebook, math book, ELA foldable, whiteboard/dry erase marker, and an extra mask. Don’t forget that we will also have one snack in the afternoons on the days they are in school. Please pack this snack in their backpack separately from their lunch.

Here is the schedule-don’t hesitate to ask questions!

Hi families! I hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine this weekend 🙂 Our hybrid schedule (kind of) starts tomorrow! I’m excited to be with your kids at least one full day this week. Please remember to check the supply list that’s posted on a previous blog post and on Schoology under the main course to know what your child should have in their backpacks when coming to school this week. Please also see the “checklist” on the schedule or on Schoology to know what your child should be doing when at home on either Monday or Tuesday (their asynchronous day).

Wednesday will be a remote day for the entire class, as well as Thursday and Friday, due to district wide staff vaccines.

We will be taking a Math test (mid-module) on Monday or Tuesday, depending when they are in class. We will review together before hand then test. Your child will also receive the new ELA foldable and a packet when they come to school M or T, to use for the remainder of the next couple weeks.

If you have any questions regarding anything at all, don’t hesitate to email or contact me via Dojo! This will be an adjustment for everyone (especially the mask wearing all day) but I know we will be just fine!

Can’t wait to see the kiddos this week! Here is the schedule.

Here is a slide about what should be in your child’s backpack when they are at school for a full day. Because the schedule has been changed again, and technically we won’t start the full week schedule until March 15, we will continue to see the old lesson plan and schedule sent out on Sunday. But I wanted to send this out since each child will have a chance to attend 2 full days over the next 2 weeks. I will also post to Schoology on the main course page.

Supply List:

Hi families!

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend 🙂 Back to the grind tomorrow. Below is the schedule for this week, also posted on Schoology. In-Person learning labs will continue this week so make sure to check the schedule. If your child is attending in person labs, please be sure to be prompt in your arrival and pick-up. We will be working on a writing narrative piece while at labs this week.

Throughout this week, you will be getting a lot of information from me and from Mr. Short regarding return to school and the schedule. Please be on the lookout for his blog posts and mine. I will post what the students need, what our days will look like, and what the asynchronous days will look like at home. The schedule going forward will look different than what I’ve been sending out the last 24 weeks-due to the fact that I will now have an A and B day schedule. Hopefully this new “checklist” will be more student friendly so your child can see what they should be doing on their days at home 🙂

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Sunday! Here is this week’s schedule:
