Happy New Year!

Welcome Back and Happy 2024! I hope everyone enjoyed the break and great start to the New Year! November and December flew by, and were some of the busiest months! We celebrated and welcomed a new student into our class. We had a school sing along, visits from Santa, swimming field trip, and had lots of fun learning daily. Each week we have a read aloud story that we focus on and talk about. November and December stories were Thankful, In November, Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter, Snowmen At Night, Old Lady Who swallowed a Pie, The Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow. With these stories we talked about what we are thankful for, about the season change, and the Holiday Season! For our academic reading goal we worked on Major events from a story. What happened first, next, and last? We also worked on identifying unknown words from a story. All the kids worked hard on identifying and making connections with our core words that we could find in the story.

Math for November and December was identifying groups of more or less. We also worked on addition of putting things together. We made groups of a lot of items and groups of a little bit of items and found the groups of more and groups of less. with addition we found two numbers and just counted them together. We practiced these skills by using our smartboard and math manipulatives! For addition we used our number bonds, and for groups of more or less we used our alligator hands.

For writing we focused on a different letter each day. During letter work and handwriting time we practice the letter sounds, work on identify words that start with that letter, and also practice our handwriting skills by practicing those letters.

Here are some pictures from all the fun we’ve been having over that last few months!

No School Tomorrow

Greetings,

All Dearborn Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

Weather reports for tonight and into Wednesday morning are forecasting temperatures in the single digits and windchill temperatures will get to a sustained level approaching minus 20 degrees.

School closures are done to help ensure the safety of staff, students, and the community. The decision is not taken lightly as we have a limited number of “snow days” and several more weeks of winter weather ahead. Snow, cold, ice, power outages, and other events are all factors that can create the need for a school closure.

Again, please remember to dress appropriately when venturing outside in severe cold.

Be safe and stay warm
!

September Newsletter!

Hello Howe School families!

Just like that we are done with September and in to October. September was a month filled with fun and lots of learning activities. Each week we have a read aloud story that we focus on and talk about. This months stories were, Our Class is A Family, David Goes to School, Pete The Cat Rocking In My School Shoes, Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn, and The Bad Apple. With these stories we talked about a classroom community, classroom rules, How to be a good friend, and things that happen at school! For our academic reading goal we worked on WH questions. What story did we read? Who was the story about? Where did the story take place? The students did a great job and enjoyed creating a list of good rules and bad rules for our classroom.

Math for September consisted of number talk. What a number is and how we can identify that number while counting out objects. The kids love math time because they get to interact with the smartboard while working on their counting skills. We practiced counting with apples, and helping the bears get on the bus!

Our monthly Social Studies focus was on a classroom community and following school rules. We listened to many stories about school rules and talked lots about how to make a classroom community in room 110. We also created a list of good behaviors and bad behaviors that we see at school. We continued the conversation and are working on creating our own set of classroom rules for RM 110.

For writing we focused on a different letter each day. During letter work and handwriting time we practice the letter sounds, work on identify words that start with that letter, and also practice our handwriting skills by practicing those letters. We also practiced with weekly stories that relate to our school theme like back to school, of fall colors!
