Brrrr!  It’s getting colder…

Students will be lining up in the gym every morning, beginning Monday. Nov. 28 until spring.  The bell rings at 8:35 and the tardy bell rings at 8:40.  Students may begin lining up in the gym at 8:20. Breakfast is served in the cafeteria, beginning at 8:15.

Dearborn Schools policy is for students to have outdoor recess as long as the windchill is 20 degrees or higher, so please be sure your child has gloves, a hat or hood and a warm coat when the temperature dips.

Stay warm!

I have corrected their unit 3 math test and they went home today. If your child received a “4”, he/she may retake the test Monday. The student needs to come to me to tell me if they are retaking the test. If a student received a “3”, he/she may see me to do test corrections to receive 1/2 credit to improve their grade. Congratulations to those students who received a “2” or “1” on the test.

This month our students learned more about our Snow School students who have a special education eligibility.  We have 5 classrooms at Snow that are self-contained special education classrooms.  While students in these classrooms learn differently, we are more alike than we are different.  It is up to us as leaders to make sure everyone feels included.  Saying or waving hello, offering a compliment,  helping a student who may have fallen are just a few ways we can connect with students who learn differently.  We can also help students learn social behaviors by modeling good behavior.  When we witness students making a bad choice we can tell them a better choice they could make.  We can also try to understand that if we see challenging behavior, it may be out of that student’s control or part of their disability.  Empathy is the ability to put ourselves into someone else’s shoes.  Questions you may want to ponder at home to further this discussion:  How would life change if  I had a disability?  What would I need to help me learn?  How would I want others to treat me?  Everyone wants to feel included and it is our hope to make sure that we are showing kindness and empathy so that everyone feels included.

Today is the last day to order books. I will be placing the order at 9:00 pm. Thank you.

Thank you to those parents that already attended parent teacher conferences last week. The remainder of the class has a scheduled conference either this Wednesday, November 16th or Thursday, November 17th. Please arrive at your scheduled time. If you are late, you will have to wait until I have an opening in the schedule.

Moon books are due this Thursday, November 17. Please make sure that all of the moons are filled in.

Please continue to have your child read every night and fill in their Weekly Reading Log. All logs are to be turned in everyday.   

Today we took our unit three math test. They will be going home this week. Please make sure you look over the test with your child when they are returned. 

We will begin our monthly PBIS celebrations the end of November. In order for students to attend the November celebration, they can have no more than 3 card flips for the entire month and no ODR referrals to the office. Students who do not earn the privilege of attending the celebration will be participating in a re-thinking group of how to change their behavior for the December celebration.

Just a reminder that there is no school Wednesday, November 23- Friday, November 25 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Snow School Skate Night is scheduled for Tuesday, November 22nd. More information will be sent home soon from the PTA.
