Dear Haynes Families,
It's hard to believe that we are already more than a quarter of the way through the school year! Ms. Whitehead, our Math Coach, updates a math bulletin board with all of the different ways to represent the school days throughout the year. Last Friday, I noticed that we were already on Day 45!
As the leaves changed colors and began to fall, we used it as an opportunity to make something beautiful. Students were given a Fall STEAM Challenge to work together to build and create Land Art using the materials that they found outside. Students could use various strategies such as experimenting with color, light and shadows, negative space, finding patterns, and overlay. Below are some pictures of the artwork, students did an amazing job!
This past month, we have started our Haynes Safety Patrol where fifth grade students take on leadership positions throughout the school day. Each morning, there are Safety Patrol members at entry doors greeting students as they enter. For recess, students put out and pack away recess games. There are bus monitors that help walk our kindergartners as well as direct all students to buses safely. We also have a couple of students in charge of raising, lowering, and folding the American flag each day. Ms. Haney's class has our Safety Patrol duties right now and they will rotate to the other 5th grade classes throughout the year.
Also, I'd like to thank Mr. Miller, our crossing guard who also helps to put together our planter boxes in the front of the building to make our school look beautiful and welcoming!
Best,
Bryant Amitrano
The halls of Haynes are ringing with a chorus of coughs.
There are many types of coughs, and not all mean you have to miss school. Please keep your student home if their cough is uncontrolled, would be distracting to the class, prevents them from participating fully in the school day, or is accompanied by other severe symptoms. Coughing is also a COVID symptom that should be tested for.
Cough drops are considered medication and should not be sent with students. Any cough medication should be administered at home prior to school, unless it is part of your student’s asthma care plan. With lingering mild coughs, remind your student to cough into elbows, wash hands, and drink water. Children’s Hospital has a great information page about coughs HERE.
