Help Recycle Markers
The Art room is recycling dried up markers. A collection box is located outside the Art room. If you have any old useless markers, any kind, any color, simply drop them in the box. Last year we recycled over 4,000 markers. Let’s see what we can do this year.

Title I Family Math Night at Dye Elementary
Over 100 students participated in Family Math Night during parent-teacher conferences. Every student received a Math Game Kit to take home. Title I staff was available to teach families to play the games in the kit. Students earned play money for every game they played. They used their play money to budget and buy trail mix ingredients.
This was a great opportunity for students to use their math skills. Many families also had ideas about how to play similar games at home. And of course, we had fun!
Randels Newsletter
Our Michigan Weather
Please send your child to school with coats, hats. Gloves, boots, snow pants, and anything else to keep them warm and dry. Our children love to play outdoors so we need to dress them for the elements. Remember, unless the outside temperature is 0°F or lower the children will have outside recess. Children need a doctor’s excuse if they need to stay in from recess for more than two consecutive days.

From the Randels STAR Room
Title One News – When your child’s teacher uses the words “have your child retell the story” she wants your child to tell you:
– WHO is in the story (the characters)
– WHERE does the story take place (the setting)
– The ORDER OF EVENTS of the story in sequence (in the order they happened) Use key words such as: what happened first, next, then, last, and finally.
When your child can retell the story they just read, it is reinforcing that they are comprehending what they are reading and that they understand the story. You can also ask them how they think the character in the story was feeling, how they felt about the story, etc….
