First Grade Parent Letter
November 10, 2005

Dear Parents,

Tonight is parent-teacher conferences from 5 — 8 p.m. Once again I would like to extend an invitation to your child. Tomorrow there is no school for students. Conferences will be held from 8 — 11 a.m.

Beginning next week your child will have a home link and math flashcards to practice every Tuesday. Each week your child must return his/her flashcards back to school on Wednesday. We will practice these cards at school throughout the week. Each student has a set of flashcards at their own level. The levels begin with addition from +0 to +10 and then he/she will move onto subtraction -0 to -10. In order for students to move onto the next level, they must know all flashcards without counting fingers or any hesitation.

The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:
  • Picture Retakes — November 14
  • Book orders due — November 18
  • L & B Silent Action — November 18
  • Onekama Public Library field trip — November 22
  • Girl Scout Mtg. — November 22
  • Thanksgiving Vacation — November 24 & 25
  • Christmas Program — December 21 at 7:00 p.m.
  • Christmas Vacation — December 23 — January 2

Warmly,

Mrs. Niederstadt
