We appreciate your support! <3

I hope everyone is doing well and had a nice weekend. This week:

• This week in math we will be completing module 2 lesson 19, quiz tomorrow, then lessons 20-22. Next week we will take our end of module 2 test.
• Several students are forgetting their book bags. Book bags go home every Monday with two new books. Students should read the books each day at home. They are due back to school every Friday.
• Remember, every Tuesday is an early release day. Student dismissal is at 2:25.
• Students need a water bottle and a healthy snack everyday.
• It’s that time of year. There are many germs going around and several students are coughing, sneezing, blowing their noses, etc. Please reinforce at home that students should turn away from anyone and cough and/or sneeze in their elbow. After blowing their nose students should wash their hands or get hand sanitizer. We try our best to keep germs away and reinforcing this at home is very helpful.
• Going home today is a dental form. Please read it carefully, fill it out completely front and back and return it to school by December 14 if you’d like your child to participate.
• Hundreds of children’s nonfiction books will be $0.25 each at the Friends of the Library – Dearborn (FOLD) used book sale on Dec. 13. We thought this could be a good opportunity for teachers to stock their classroom libraries. Nearly all of the books that you see in the attached photo (and more not pictured) are children’s nonfiction that will be for sale. Details: Wednesday, Dec. 13 10 am – 6 pm at Henry Ford Centennial Library  16301 Michigan Ave, Dearborn, MI 48126

Enjoy your week!

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving break, I know I did. Many students are sleepy today 😴. Let’s go to bed early tonight and get back to our regular schedule 🙂 It’s hard coming back after a break! This week:

• November reading logs are due Friday. New logs and calendars will be going home Friday too. Weekly Writing will be coming home today. This Friday for weekly writing, you can turn in a November or December topic, your choice.
• This Friday is picture retake day. If you want retakes, please return your old pictures.
• Friday is also popcorn day. Bring in $1 for popcorn!
• This week in math we will complete module 2 lessons 14-18. Quizzes from last week will go home soon after everyone has taken it (many were absent).
• Going home today is your child’s emergency card for the school. Please check both sides over carefully make any changes and make sure all questions are answered and it is complete then return it to school tomorrow.
• As the weather changes we will still go outside for recess daily unless it is raining or the wind chill is below 20 degrees. Please make sure your child has a warm winter coat, hat, gloves, etc. When there is snow, students should have winter boots. They may also bring snow pants (optional) to play in the snow. If there is snow and students do not have boots they must stay on the sidewalk. If they have boots and no snow pants, they can walk in the snow but can’t play in it.

Have a wonderful week!!

Good afternoon,

• Going home tomorrow for homework is a Thanksgiving Interview. If possible, have your child (with help if needed) interview a family member (preferably someone older like a grandparent) by asking them the questions to see how Thanksgiving was like when they were younger. It is due next Monday after Thanksgiving break.

Have a great weekend!

I-ready is our district assessment that every child takes for reading and math. Howe school has purchased an online practice program called pathways.

In folders today you will find your child’s login, password, and information to help you navigate this website.

We know that students who practice this at home will do better on the test. They will be more familiar with navigating a computer, playing the games, and listening to the computer questions and answering them.

In the letter you will find all the information you need.

I encourage you to use this website 2-4 times a week when you can. We take the next i-ready test in January.

If you have any problems the technology help line for parents is (313) 827-3075.
