Dear
Parents,
I hope you
had an enjoyable holiday season. I am excited to get started on the
next several months. I would like to thank all of those that purchased
items for our classroom. Your generosity was greatly appreciated. I am
still in need of band-aids and gallon-size storage bags. During the
holidays I was so proud to be part of our community. There was not one
tag left on the Giving Trees and our Toys for Tots barrel was
overflowing. Thank you!!
Today
we went to the
Rockin’ R Stable in Bear Lake. Over the next several days I’ll add
pictures to our web page. Due to this field trip we were unable to go
the Onekama Public Library as originally planned for today. Your
child’s books have been renewed so you will not accrue any fines. I
would like all books returned by Friday, January 16th to any
Manistee Public Library branch or to school. Any books sent to school I
will return them after school for you.
Next week
students will be taking their second theme test. We will work on it
from Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 – 9:45 a.m. Please be sure that your
child has had a good breakfast and is to school time. Once I have
graded the theme tests, I will send home your child’s test in his/her
Friday Folder.
On
Thursday I will have a substitute in the afternoon from 11:45-3:00. I
will be in the building. I am on a committee to help align our writing
curriculum. Mrs. W is my substitute. She was in our room back in
October and has been a first grade teacher in her teaching career. I am
happy to have her as our substitute.
