Haw River Hype

Greetings Lion Cub Families,

Last week was full of celebrations for Quarter 3 Academic Accolades and Positive Behavior! You can check out the highlights and award recipients in the "Quarter 3 Awards & Accolades" section below!

Members of our Pre-K Team were active at the "Week of the Young Child" event at The Burlington City Park. Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. McCormick worked on the planning committee to make this awesome event happen. Ms. Dee and Ms. Russell were there recruiting parents for the Village and Little Village programs that take place at HRE through collaboration with Elon University. Thank you Pre-K team for supporting this endeavor!

This week we will continue learning and leading as we apply our learning in all subject areas to show what we know and how we have grown so much this year. This week we are also celebrating and recognizing our volunteers as this is National Volunteer Recognition Week. We appreciate all our volunteers do to ensure we are successful at Haw River Elementary!

Let's get excited for our 30th week of learning, leading, and loving it!

Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0 to 20, with 0 representing a count of no objects.

Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones by:

• Using objects or drawings.

• Recording each composition or decomposition by a drawing or expression.

• Understanding that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of objects using positional terms.

Correctly name squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres regardless of their orientations or overall size.

Identify squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres as two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Science:

Compare characteristics of living and nonliving things in terms of their:

Represent and solve addition and subtraction word problems, within 20, with unknowns, by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, when solving:

• Add to/Take from-Change Unknown
• Put together/Take Apart-Addend Unknown
• Compare-Difference Unknown

Science:

Give examples of how the needs of different plants and animals can be met by their environments in North Carolina or different places throughout the world.

Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.

Understand and justify decompositions of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

• Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.

• Decompose a fraction into a sum of unit fractions and a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way using area models, length models, and equations.

• Add and subtract fractions, including mixed numbers with like denominators, by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

• Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions, including mixed numbers by writing equations from a visual representation of the problem.

Finding my Voice Through Service

Find Your Voice is using what you do well to help others. It is part of The 8th Habit®.

Leaders find their voice by using their talents, strengths, and passions to reach their leadership potential.

Think About:

Talent- What do I do well?

Passion- What do I love to do?

BIG IDEA:

TALENT + PASSION = VOICE

Practice:

What is one thing you will do to use your voice to serve others?

Reflect:

How did it feel to serve others by doing this act of kindness?

Purpose: Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was tasked to develop and maintain the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) – a federal program that offers eligible households a discount on their monthly internet bill and a one-time discount off the purchase of a laptop, desktop or tablet computer. Since launching in December 2021, the ACP has helped over 22 million eligible households gain access to online internet service, allowing subscribers to take advantage of educational and career building resources, telehealth services and more. However, the of $14.2 billion Congress initially appropriated for the ACP is approaching depletion. Without additional funding, the Commission must begin a wind-down process for the ACP.

Flu and cold season are here. It is important that we all do our best to stay healthy by washing our hands, covering our cough, and staying home when sick.

Students should stay home if

• If the student has any of the following symptoms they should stay home:

• Fever (temperature of 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit or higher),

• Diarrhea or vomiting

• Constant cough and sore throat

A student who has a fever of 99.6 or above or any student that has thrown up will be sent home. Therefore, you will need to come for him/her immediately when the school contacts you. It is extremely important that you provide your child’s teacher with several emergency contact numbers so that someone can be reached if your child gets sick or injured. We cannot allow students with these symptoms to ride home on the bus or daycare vans.

• Students need to be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.
• Anyone throwing up at night or in the morning should not attend school.

Every U.S. household may place an order to receive four free COVID-⁠19 rapid tests delivered directly to your home.

Order Free At-Home Tests

Need help placing an order for your at-⁠home tests?
Call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489).

The U.S. government will continue to make COVID-⁠19 tests available to uninsured individuals and underserved communities through existing outreach programs. Please contact a HRSA health center, Test to Treat site, or ICATT location near you to learn how to access low- or no-cost COVID-⁠19 tests provided by the federal government.
