Dear
Parents,
I will
not in school on Monday. Janice Webb is my substitute. She was a first
grade teacher. The kids will love her.
Next week we will have
gingerbread activities throughout the week with Mrs. Brown’s fifth grade
class. The activities will focus on art, reading, writing and
mathematics. On Tuesday we will make gingerbread cookies at the
Onekama’s Lion’s Den. Your child needs to wear appropriate clothing for
making cookies. Enclosed you will find a permission slip. Please sign
and return to school with your child’s Friday folder.
The
Onekama Public Library will host “Create a Christmas Craft” from
December 8-11. You may stop in anytime during their library hours:
Monday from 11-5, Tuesday from 11-5 and Wednesday from 12-6. Your child
will be able to make a Rudolph ornament, pine cone Christmas tree, door
hanger, paper garland chain and many others. The library Christmas
party will be on Thursday, Dec. 11th at 3:30 p.m.
On
Wednesday we will have a pajama day in our classroom. Your child is
invited to wear their favorite pajamas accompanied with slippers,
but please be sure your child’s pajamas are
weather appropriate. Your child will be going outside for recess.
On
Wednesday evening we will have our
annual holiday program.
Your child should dress in their holiday attire. I will meet your child
in our classroom at 6:45 p.m. The program begins at 7:00 p.m. in the
gymnasium.
On Friday
we will walk to the Onekama Public Library from 11:45 – 1:30. Please be
sure to send in your child’s books by Thursday. I’ll drop them off
after school on Thursday. Ms. Jane has planned an extra special craft
for us. I would love to have some extra hands. If you are able to walk
with us, then your help would be greatly appreciated. |
Don’t shop for our holiday
party yet. Our office staff in cooperation with Rockin R Stable in Bear
Lake is working on having a day of snow much fun instead of a holiday
party. We will spend our time sledding, building snowmen and taking a
sleigh ride. I’ll keep you posted as the details are available.
Recently Mr. Brandis put up our
THIRD pencil sharpener in our classroom this year. Students have been
abusing our sharpeners by sharpening the eraser end of their pencils.
Until further notice students are unable to sharpen their own pencils.
My classroom volunteers and I will sharpen your child’s pencil. It
would be helpful for your child to have a personal pencil sharper inside
their desk. This would make a good stocking stuffer.
Last (but not least)
is our letters to Santa. Due to cut backs in our school budget, we are
unable to send out your child’s letter to Santa. Enclosed is your
child’s letter so you can send it for him/her. Enjoy!!
