Newsletter Week 12

Hello Families,

I would like to take a moment and give thanks to all of you!  I am so grateful to work in a district where education comes first and where parents truly care about their child’s future.  I receive so many “thank you” notes and or cards throughout the week and I just want you to all know I see them and I read them.  It truly is remarkable working for a community that gives thanks for the littlest things, which means the most to you!  Those small gestures of “thanks” really gives me satisfaction in knowing this is where I am meant to be!  I am thankful for my students and families at Haigh Elementary!     

 

During the break there will be no homework:)  Please help your child catch up on letters/sounds, counting, identifying number and sight word list 3 (highlighted words from list 1 and 2), reading eggs/math seeds; Whatever they may need to work on:)

• Update: PBIS turkey bowling has been changed to Wednesday, November 29th:)  Our November PBIS celebration is almost here and we are celebrating with a few games of TURKEY BOWLING! The party will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 29th. Students will be bowling with a rubber bowling ball to try and knock down three “turkey pins”. They will also be challenged by trying to knock the pins over while bowling backwards, hopping on one foot, blindfolded, and other fun and silly tricks. Students will participate in this event if they have demonstrated positive behavior throughout the month of November and have less than 5 card flips.  Thanks for your support,The PBIS team  **In the spirit of the holidays and to keep our turkey theme, 5 turkeys will be donated to the Salvation Army Food Bank in Dearborn Heights funded by the Haigh Spirit committee.

I hope you all enjoy your break with loved ones and you all have the time to reflect on what you may be thankful for <3.  See you all back on Monday, November 27th.
