Dye YouthQuest Update
This past week really took flight! Our first field trip of the year was to Owosso Community Airport on Saturday, where Major Tim Harwood, Airport Manager and also a member of Civil Air Patrol showed our students what an airplane hangar looks like. The students also learned how the planes are stored and tied down to the ground in case of bad weather. An Emergency Location Transmitter was hidden and the students used Urban Direction Finding equipment to locate it, just like they were on a real search and rescue mission.
Students in fourth and fifth made duct tape wallets and purses. Kindergarten and first graders worked on their yoga positions. Second grade made slime out of cornstarch and shaving cream.
Second through fifth graders will be marching in the C-A Homecoming parade on October 11th. Go C-A!
Any questions, please call Donna Arnold at 810-922-1965.
Dye Elementary Title I News
Parents often ask how they can be involved in their child’s education when they are working or busy with younger children. Here are some ways to be involved without ever leaving home:
- Check your child’s backpack every night for important notes and papers.
- Look for the blue homework folder every week to see how your child is doing. Write a note back to the teacher if you have any questions.
- Read to your child or listen to him/her read to you. Try to do this for fifteen minutes every night.
- Simply ask your child about school. Many children will just answer with “fine” or “Nothing”. Ask again and talk about what they are learning.
