Haggerty Chorus Sings at Providence Bruins
On Sunday, January 11th, 60 of our Haggerty Chorus singers made the trip to Providence to sing during a Providence Bruins Hockey game. The students were so professional and brave! It was very cool to sing and see yourself on the jumbotron!

Library

Library Corner 
By Sarah Novogrodsky – Library Media Specialist
Skype with Erica Perl!
Fourth grade book club had a fun Skype visit with Erica Perl, author of When Life Give You O.J.. She told us about her inspiration for the book and for many of the book’s characters, including the crazy grandpa, Ace. Read more >>

Kindergarten Research on Ocean Animals
Frequently we read nonfiction during K library time. In December we read nonfiction books about sea animals and went on Reading Rainbow adventures with Levar Burton to see whales breach and sea turtles lay eggs! Next, we painted the glass wall in the library with ocean characters and added our facts for everyone to enjoy.

Music Corner

Math
                                  
1, 2, 3 Math!

By Lucy Wittenberg                                             
This year at Haggerty we are focusing on the Math Practice Standards (National Standards that support students to successfully approach math). These practices help students develop habits that will help them approach complex tasks throughout their lives. Learn more >>

PE

Physical Education Corner
If possible please send students to school on Phys. Ed. days with clothing and accessories suitable for vigorous physical activity. I suggest sneakers be brought in a bag on days when boots or fancy shoes are worn. An extra hair elastic for long hair, shorts if a dress or skirt is worn. No dangling earrings and as little jewelry as possible. Thank you.

Bus

Drop Off Safety Reminders
There have been a couple of car accidents (cars hitting other cars) in front of school in the morning and we would like to remind drivers to be very careful when dropping off their children in the morning. Please look to Phoebe, our crossing guard, for direction. She is there to keep everyone safe. We appreciate your help! It will only become more difficult when the snow piles arrive. Thanks for your help! Lissa
