First Grade Parent Letter September 22, 2005 |
Dear Parents, Today we walked to the Onekama Public Library. Students were able to check out two books. These books are due on Thursday, October 13th. We will walk to the library to return our books and check out more. If your schedule permits, youre welcome to join us. On Saturday students are invited to walk in the homecoming parade with their class. Your child should be dressed in their favorite Onekama clothing or blue and gold. Balloons will be provided for each student to carry in the parade. It begins at 11:00 a.m. We will meet in the Village Park at 10:30 a.m. I will be out of town for Marys baptism. Mrs. Pepera will walk with our class. Thanks Mrs. Pepera!! The homecoming game is at 1:00 p.m. If your child is going to participate in the parade, then please be sure to return his/her permission slip. The permission slip is enclosed. In this weeks Thursday Folder your childs graded work is enclosed. There are four grades given, they are S+=Achieved, S=Progressing Successfully, S-=Beginning to Develop and U=Experiencing Difficulty. Some papers are stamped with "The Wall of Fame." These papers are the best of the best, because they have included correct answers, best writing, best coloring, no backward letters or numbers and the date. If your child has this stamped on one of his/her papers, then congratulate him/her on a job well done.

Enclosed is a wish list. As you know
our school budget is becoming less and less each year.
When I first began teaching eight years ago, we were
given a $1000 budget for each classroom. Now we were
given $150 to purchase our supplies this year. Of course
you are not obligated to purchase, but several parents
have requested a list. The wish list includes craft
supplies for our three holiday parties and other
necessary items. If you would like to help, then it would
be greatly appreciated. The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:
