Dear
Parents,
Today we
walked to the Onekama Public Library. If your child returned his/her
books, then s/he was able to check out three books. These books are due
on Friday, Jan. 9th.
Enclosed
is a copy of your child’s third mathematics test. The top page is a
copy of the test. This is your child’s test without any support. The
grade on the top of the paper reflects their knowledge of the subject
tested. The second page is the actual test. We reviewed the answers
together; students were to change any incorrect answers. Our next
mathematics unit is called “Measurement and Basic Facts.” Students will
have an opportunity to measure with nonstandard units, such as hand
spans and paces, as well as with standard units, such as feet and
inches, using a rules and a tape measure.
On Monday
all items for The Giving Tree project need to be turned in. If you have
a tag, then bring your wrapped item to the office. If you are donating
a personal item, then send it in with your child. I’ve purchased a
white laundry basket to donate along with our personal items.
Unfortunately we only have four items in our basket. We need any
personal items such as shampoo, hand soap, bar soap, body soap,
toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, dish soap, toilet paper,
laundry soap, etc. Please send in all items by December 15th.

On Friday we will visit the Rockin’ R Stable in
Bear Lake along with all K-3 students. We will leave at 10:00 and
should return around 2:00 p.m. We will have a 30-minute sleigh ride,
build snowmen and sled. Students need to bring a sack lunch. We have
no access to a microwave so it needs to be a cold lunch. If needed you
may purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria for $2.25. Parents and
siblings are welcome, but you must provide your own transportation. All
students will ride the bus to and from the stable. The cost is $5.00
per person. For more information, please read the enclosed letter. You
will need to return the permission slip along with your child’s money.
Please attach the money to your child’s permission slip.
