Mrs. Niederstadt's Weekly Parent Letter
April 23, 2010

Dear Parents,

We’ll continue to celebrate summer birthdays next week.  On Tuesday we will celebrate Sam C’s birthday (Dec. 28th) and Kaden B.’s (August 1st) on Thursday.  The following week we celebrate Hunter H’s birthday (July 30th) will be on May 4th.

Last Wednesday we took our math assessment for Unit 7.  Enclosed is your child’s test and Unit 8: Mental Arithmetic, Money, and Fractions.  This was a more difficult test.  The class average was 68%.  In Part A topics should have been easier for your child.  If s/he missed any of these topics, then it would be a good idea to practice at home.  In Part B these were recently introduced topics. Please review Unit 8 parent letter; we will begin the new unit next week.

The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:

  • County-Wide In-Service (No School) – April 30
  • Substitute – May 5
  • Onekama Public Library – May 6
  • School Store – May 7

Mrs. Lyman and I are taking our classes on a field trip to Amber Elk Ranch in Ludington on Thursday, May 20th at 9:30 a.m.  We will leave the school at 8:30 a.m.  The tour takes about an hour.  The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) will pay for the cost of the bus and driver.  Students are responsible for a fee of $5.00 to receive a guided tour.  Afterwards we will stop at Waterfront Park for a sack lunch.  We should return to the school around 1:30 p.m.  You need to send your child’s fee of $5.00 in an envelope with your child’s name on it.   Parents are welcome to attend.  If you’re interested, then you will need to include your fee of $8.00 in your child’s envelope.  Please label the envelope accordingly.   We would prefer cash, but checks can be made out to Amber Elk Ranch’s, if necessary.  All money and permission slips are due by Friday, May 7th.  If you would like to learn more about Amber’s, then visit their web site at http://www.amberelkranch.com/.

 

Warmly,


Mrs. N
