Dear Parents, As the weather changes, please make sure your child wears a weather-appropriate coat to school, as we will be going outside for recess most days. Additionally, we encourage you to send an extra set of clothes to keep in their locker in case of an accident or if they get muddy during recess. Thank you for your support in keeping our students comfortable and prepared! Best, Mr. Roth

With help from Mrs. Rae, classroom teachers, and our local Home Depot employees, three of our Howland Glen second-grade classrooms participated in a hands-on workshop! Mrs. Rae is our librarian and makerspace facilitator here at Howland Glen. Makerspace takes place in our library on the opposite weeks of library time. Our makerspace encourages hands-on learning through creative projects, games, challenges, or team-building activities! This week, students were able to construct and decorate a wooden toolbox! They also got to take home their very own Home Depot apron for future projects! All second-grade classes will get to participate in this workshop, as future workshop dates are being planned!
