Dear
Parents,
Next week we will study a new science unit: life cycles. We’ll
watch several video clips in the distance learning room by Discovery
Channel. They will discuss the stages of life cycles for plants and
animals.
On
Thursday we’ll walk to the Onekama Public Library from 11:45 –
1:30. I will stop at the library after school on Wednesday to
return any books. If you are able to join us, I would love your
help.
“The
Class Store” is open for business on Friday, February 26th. Sue
Tolin has been my cashier for about eight years. She has graciously
volunteered to help with our class store again this year. The Class
Store is a bulletin board consisting of many items such as rulers,
pads of paper, posters, stickers, pencils, pens, highlighters,
bookmarks and much more. Each item has a price tag. Students will
be able to purchase items on Fridays. They must be able to count
the money in order to purchase an item. Your child will earn
plastic money for completing work, following directions, working
quietly, helping a friend or many other possibilities. The store is
a privilege for those who have earned it. Donations are always
appreciated. Any of the many dollar stores offer great items for us
to use. |
There is
no school on Monday – Winter Break. Due to the short week there
will be no spelling words. Your child’s next spelling list will
come home on Monday, Feb 22nd. Attached you should find
