First Grade Parent Letter October 6, 2005 |
Dear
Parents, On October 1st, we began to participate in the Book-It! Program. For those unfamiliar with the Book It! Program, it is a national reading incentive program for grades K 6 sponsored by Pizza Hut. Your child has a monthly goal of 5 books. Once the goal is reached, your child will receive a Free Pizza Award Certificate, which entitles him/her to a one-topping personal pan pizza. On the first visit, your child will receive a Book It! card with clip and sticker for the card. On each subsequent visit, the child will be given another personal pan pizza and a sticker to recognize his/her reading achievement. If your child meets his/her reading goal in all six months of the program, he/she is rewarded at the restaurant with a Book It! All-Star Reader medallion with neck ribbon. Book It! will end on March 31, 2006. This program requires nothing additional to what you have already been doing; I will send home books and have your child read them to you. On Thursday, October 13th we will walk to the Onekama Public Library. Students will return their two books and check out three new books. These books will be due on Thursday, November 3rd. We will be leaving at 12:30 p.m. and should return about 1:45 p.m. If your schedule permits, please join us. If you have not visited our web site, then please do so at http://www.onekama.k12.mi.us/e2006/g1n/index.htm Youll see information from our field trips, parent letters, All About Me, Super Readers, and etc. |
Each
year Leaps and Bounds Early Childhood Education Program
hosts a Silent Auction at the Portage Point Inn. This
year it will be held on Friday, November 18th. Profits
will purchase classroom materials, supplies, enrichment
activities and much more for the childcare center.
Tickets are $10.00 each. If you or someone you know is
interested in purchasing tickets, please let me know. I
would be happy to help you, because top ticket seller
wins one free week of childcare for one child. Both my
daughters, Emma and Mary attend this wonderful childcare
program. There is no school on Monday due to a teacher in-service. The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:
Warmly, Mrs. Niederstadt snieders@manistee.org |
