Mrs. Niederstadt's Weekly Parent Letter

February 19, 2010 

Dear Parents,

Next week we’ll study a new health unit called “Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs.”  We’ll begin the unit with a video called McGruff: Drug-Free Kids in the distance learning room.  The unit goals are:

  • Students will comprehend different types of drugs and how they can be helpful or harmful.
  • Students will comprehend the potential poisons found in the home.

On Tuesday your child’s homework will be to identify household poisons by labeling them with an Officer Ugg sticker. 

On Friday we’ll begin our class store. Throughout the remainder of the school year students will have the opportunity to receive plastic money for our class store for homework, good behavior, helping a friend, answering a bonus question, etc.  We will have class store every Friday except the first Friday of every month due to school store.  The All about Me board will be transformed into “The Class Store.”  Once again, donations will be happily accepted.

The same morning we will have a visit from High Tech Dental.  Two hygienists will come into our classroom to talk with our class about proper dental health.

 

On Friday afternoon we will hold an Olympic Closing Ceremony in the gym at 2:20 p.m.  You and siblings are more than welcome to attend.  The real Olympic Closing Ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 28th.  To view the web pages from our Olympic Opening Ceremony, you can visit http://www.onekama.k12.mi.us/e2010/Olympics/index.htm .
