Please be sure to send your child’s library book to school with them on Tuesday or Wednesday, if they have not already brought it back. All books are due back by May 30th.
Please continue to put your child on readingeggs.com at home and have them do a couple of lessons each night. This can count on the reading log in the homework for some of the nightly reading! The reading eggs account will be active all through the summer and they will have the same login next school year as big First graders. Mathseeds will become available soon as well. The login credentials are the same for both reading eggs and math seeds.

Agenda for the Week
Reading/Writing: We have been working on our ocean reports. We are very excited to present all of our hard work to you! Please do not send the project to school until June 2nd. We do not have any room in the class to store projects until the due date! In the past, some families have found cute crafts online (Pinterest, YouTube, etc), and other families have used wood, plaster, recycled materials and made 3D models of the ocean animal. It all depends on how much time you and your child would like to put into the project. The children will present their craft/model and report on their ocean animal to the class and we will be inviting all of you to come in and see the crafts/models and reports!
Please refer to the note that came home for more details!
Math: We took our -8 math quiz today. Today, I sent home the -9 flashcards for practice. We will take the -9 quiz on Friday, June 2nd.
Science and social studies: We continue to work on oceans.
Housekeeping Items:
The temperature is rising and the school is heating up! Please remember that we do not have air conditioning at Haigh. It is a good idea to send your child to school in loose fitting, light clothing to help keep them cool.
If you would like your child to wear sunscreen, please apply this to your child before they come to school.
Please do not send toys, fidget spinners, or Pokémon cards to school with your child. These are a huge distraction.
The class as a whole has been super talkative. It is making instruction more and more difficult on a daily basis. Please remind the children that the rules at school and in our classroom have not changed. With the warmer weather, we are all getting restless for summer!
Children need a snack each day! Please do not send candy as a snack. The children need a healthy snack each day such as fruit, crackers, cheese, yogurt, granola bars, etc. As a reminder, no juice is allowed in class for snack.
