Come in and meet your new classroom! Today at Howe School 12:00 – 1:30 PM.

Thursday – Electronics Day, bring your electronic to school OR use a chromebook.

Bring a bag of candy if you can. We want to make a class candy salad, we will all partake of this delicious treat.

Also, check out Class Dojo. I have some great photos of your children from the past week, I think you will enjoy. 🙂

Field day is being moved to tomorrow due to rain and storms on Wednesday.

Your child needs to bring a towel and disposable water bottle. (frozen bottles work great on hot days)

We will spend the morning outside doing station rotations and then in the afternoon the fire truck will be coming. The kids can get wet with the fire truck as it sprays us in the back parking lot.

**Due to bathroom space issues we will not be able to change after the fire truck. You can either take your child home after the event (around 2:30) OR we will play on the playground after until we dry off.  If you take your child home please check out with your teacher!!!!

Wednesday – Clean up Day, make sure your child comes to school with an empty backpack to clear out their stuff.

Thursday – Electronics Day, bring your electronic to school OR use a chromebook.

Bring a bag of candy if you can. We want to make a class candy salad, we will all partake of this delicious treat.

Friday – Half Day of school

Your child is bringing home their module 5 and 6 Apply books to practice over the summer. If they return to school with those books completed, I will give your child a prize.

If your child is NOT in summer school, he or she is coming home with our One Book One School book choice, a blue backpack, a summer practice book, and summer activity ideas. Enjoy!

Take a look at the natural disaster presentations your child put together. 🙂

Our Spring Concert is TUESDAY and we are all very excited to perform.  All parents, family and friends are invited to attend the evening performance on Tuesday, May 14, 6:00 p.m.  We anticipate the performance to last 90 minutes or so.  Students in grades Kindergarten thru 5th grade will perform.  You can look forward to hearing the K, 1st, & 2nd grade students sing some delicious songs together. Then the 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade students will sing some songs followed by a Recorder Playoff.  Who will be the last person standing on the risers at the end?  We will end the evening with a performance by our 5th grade Band and Violin students.  

Please have students dress nicely (however, keep in mind that the students are sitting on the floor when they are not performing) and have them at the school by 5:45 p.m.  They will sit in concert line order on the gym floor.

Thank you to those of you who have volunteered to work at the PTA bake sale and bracelet tables and who have volunteered to assist with keeping our students organized and safe during the concert.  If you have any questions please email Mrs. Reed. reedc@dearbornschools.org

Thank you for EVERYTHING this week, I feel so loved after all the special treats and gifts this week. 🙂

I hope everyone has a great Mother’s Day and weekend. Your child has a special book for you in their folder.
