Housekeeping items:
- Please provide a healthy snack for your child each day! No chips, candy, cookies/cupcakes or juice are allowed for snack. Thank you for your cooperation in promoting a healthy lifestyle for your child:).
- Make sure you provide your child with a NUT FREE snack. We are a NUT FREE classroom. Thank you for your cooperation!
- Please make sure to go through your child’s folder each night, look at your child’s work (see how they did), look at behavior, read any notes and sign in each day.
- Every Monday is library check out! Please make sure your child is returning his/her book so they can check out a new book for the week. If you misplace this book or lose it, there will be a cost for the missing book!
- Every Friday will be Kindergarten/Haigh t-shirt day! We love being in the same shirts and showing our Kinder pride at Haigh! If your child forgets to wear their shirt, it’s ok, they can wear a Haigh shirt instead (if they have one). The Haigh Owl Pride committee is going around to each classroom each Friday to tally up how many kids are in spirit wear! The class with the most participants for the month wins a trophy to keep in their room!! Let’s show Haigh that Room 42 has the most spirit! 🙂
- Spare change challenge- The PTA has come up with a fun way to collect loose change at school! The intent for the challenge is to raise money to go back to each grade level. In order to include the specials teachers, we will take a small amount from each grade level and divide that between the specials teachers. The money raised may be used for whatever the teachers feel they need for their classrooms.The contest will continue until the bottles are filled, but the first grade level to fill all of their bottles wins an Ice Cream Social.
