First Grade Parent Letter
May 11, 2006

Dear Parents,

Today your child’s spring picture money was due.  If you are not going to purchase the pictures, then the pictures need to be returned back to the school.

Next week we will begin preparing for our field trip to Orchard Hill.  Students should have their new four-inch pot with saucer at school by Monday.  On Monday we will create personalized cards for each senior recipient.  On Wednesday we will use acrylic paints to decorate our pots. Please be sure your child wears painting clothes.  On Thursday we will transplant our zinnias into the clay pots with help from Portage Lake Garden Club members.

On Thursday we will walk to the Onekama Public Library.  We will leave after lunch at 12:30 and should return around 1:30ish.  Please be sure that your child brings his/her library books to return.  We will not check out more books, but we will enjoy story time and buddy reading.  If your schedule permits, then please join us.  This will be our last visit to the library this year.  If your child’s books are returned, then his/her library card will come home in the Thursday Folder.

We are slowly preparing for summer vacation.  Your child has worked very hard this school year.  Your child’s last spelling test is tomorrow.  Next week is your child’s last week for homework.  There are three more weeks until summer vacation.

Enclosed is a permission slip for our annual Buddy Reading Beach Party.  It will be held on May 26th at 11:00 – 3:00 p.m.  Please sign and return the enclosed slip.
