Dear
Parents,
Today we
walked to the Onekama Public Library. This was our last trip for this
year; we did not check out any books. If your child returned his/her
books, then enclosed is your child’s Manistee County Library card.
These cards are good at all Manistee County Library branches: Arcadia,
Bear Lake, Kaleva, Manistee, Onekama and Wellston. All library branches
offer a wonderful reading program complete with prizes and wonderful
programs such as scrapbooking, planting, painting, drawing, crafts,
speakers, and of course story hours during the summer months. You
should have received their schedule in the last Friday folder.
Yesterday
we went to Moomer’s Ice Cream in Traverse City. As always everyone had
a wonderful time. The weather was a bit drizzly, but it didn’t stop us.
On
Tuesday we will participate in Good Behavior Field Day.
It is from 12:00 – 2:30 p.m. on the football
field. In order to be prepared for the weather, you may want to send in
a coat/sweater, water bottle and hat with your child. Also it would be
a good day to have sun block on. The Lions Club will provide hot dogs,
popcorn, and pop for an afternoon snack. Volunteers help make this day
a great success. If you are able to lead an event/activity, then please
contact the office.
On
Wednesday students need to bring an extra bag.
They will take their belongings home.
Thursday is our
last day of school. After lunch we will walk to get ice cream. I am
working on sealing one of two deals: Blue Slipper Bakery or Teddy &
Annie’s. Students will use their money from their money holders. At
the beginning of the year you sent in (2) quarters, (10) dimes, (5)
nickels, and (20) pennies. During the school year a few coins may have
been lost, please send in $1.00 for your child to use in addition to
their money. Students will be responsible for counting out their money
to purchase ice cream. Afterwards we will go to the Onekama Village
Park to spend the remainder of our day. We will return back to the
school at 2:30 p.m. Please note that your child’s report card will come
home in his/her Friday folder. If you have any questions, then please
feel free to call me on Friday until noon. |
Enclosed
is your child’s spelling test and spelling graph. The test consists of
ninety words that your child should know by the end of first grade.
Your child took this test in January. Any
misspelled words were your child’s individualized spelling words.
Recently I gave this test again to see our growth. Most students are
above average. First grade average is 68 words out of 90, which is
75%. During the summer you may want to practice any misspelled words.
I
would like to take this opportunity to thank our classroom helpers: Mrs.
Acton (School Store), Mrs. Johnson (Monday Helper), Mrs. Dutton
(Thursday Helper), and Mrs. Tolin (Class Store). They have been
wonderful helpers throughout the year. I appreciate them taking time
out of their busy schedules for us. Next week our schedule will be
winding down. There were be cleaning, packing and organizing days so
our classroom helpers will not be needed. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!
The
following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:
- Good
Behavior Field Day – June 2
- Last
Day of School – June 4
Warmly,
Mrs. N
