Haigh Families,

On Monday, January 29th, we will be hosting our third annual HAIGH CARNIVAL for our January PBIS celebration. Students who have maintained positive behavior will have the opportunity to attend the carnival and play some awesome games and even win some prizes!

However, the event can only be a success with your help. We are in need of volunteers to help run stations at the carnival. If you are able to volunteer your time, it would also be appreciated. The time slots are as follows:

A.M. session – 8:35-11:15                          P.M. session – 12:50-3:25

We need 7 A.M. volunteers and 7 P.M. volunteers. If you are able to volunteer, please e-mail

Ms. Otto at ottoc@dearbornschools.org to sign-up 🙂

Thank you for all of your help and continued support!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back and Happy New Year!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful break!  It is great to see everyone back to school again!

Our spelling words this week are focused on the ar/or vowel combinations.  They are part, park, sort, horse, short, for, are, work, warm, carry and the bonus word is celebration.

Our math focus is geometry.  This is a fun unit and the class is already enjoying the activities.  I sent home a math fact sheet that was labeled December but is fine for January activities.  This is not due until the end of January.  A new reading log was also sent home today for January.  NWEA testing will not begin until next week and I am meeting with strategy groups once this week and then I will clear some time for DRA testing.  I hope to finish DRA’s by next week and possibly NWEA the week of January 22.

Looks like we have some warmer weather coming our way!!  Have a wonderful evening!!

Good Afternoon!

I hope that everyone will stay warm and safe this evening with the winter weather.  Many students left early today and we did not have a chance to review estimation fully today-so if there are any questions about the Home link for tonight don’t worry they can do it tomorrow.  Our spelling words for this week all end in ch, th, tch and sh.  They are: each, which, match, dish, teeth, switch, peach, teach, watch, inch and the bonus word is condensation.  Notes will be coming home about our next field trip which is January 30.  Please stay warm and have a great evening!!

Hi Everyone!

Good afternoon!

We have the book fair tomorrow (Tuesday Nov. 14 ) at 2:30.  There are also family nights on Wed. and Thurs. this week if you would like to come later on those nights.  Our spelling words for this week are: crow, low, doe, goes, soap, roast, know, row, roam, show and the bonus words are Thanksgiving and vacation.  Bonus words do not count toward the final spelling score, but the class does get a hoot if they spell the bonus word correctly.  

Please be sure that all students are coming to school with gloves, hats and heavier coats now that our cold weather has come to stay!

Have a wonderful day!

Mrs. P 🙂
