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, November
21st.
Attached is next week’s
homework assignment. I would like to give you ample time to prepare for
it. Please read it over. If you have any questions, then feel free to
contact me.
On Friday we are going on a
field trip to the Ramsdell Theater to view the performance of Aurora.
Our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) has paid for kindergarten to 5th
grade to attend. We’ll leave at 12:00 p.m. and should return at the end
of the day. If you would like to attend, then parents and younger
siblings are invited to attend for $2.00 per person. You will need to
meet us at the theater. Once the performance has finished, all students
must ride back to school on the bus. No child is allowed to leave with
his/her parent.
Also attached is a copy of your
child’s first theme test. This test is one of the tools used to assess
your child’s comprehension, phonics/decoding and writing skills. The
class average was 89%. I gave full support on this test. At each
following test, I’ll give less and less support. No test will be given
without support in first grade. I’m building the foundation to how to
properly answer theme tests questions. Your child will take theme tests
from 1st to 5th grade. I’ll give three more theme
tests by the end of the school year. We’ll review your child’s test at
parent-teacher conferences.
Parent-teacher conferences are
on Tuesday, Nov. 25th and Wednesday, Nov. 26th
just before Thanksgiving. Students will be dismissed early on Tuesday
at 12:30 p.m. Conferences begin at 5 – 8 p.m. On Wednesday there is no
school for students. Conferences will be held from 8 – 11 a.m. If you
have not made your appointment, then please call Mary Bergren at
889-9674. |

November & December. There are some great items for Christmas. Please
let me know if any of these items are Christmas gifts for your child. I
will notify you when the books are available. Book orders on or before
