Dear
Parents,
Yesterday
we walked to the Onekama Public Library. If your child returned
his/her books, then s/he was able to check out three books. All
books will be due on Thursday, May 27. On the 27th this
will be our last trip to the library. Once all your child’s books
are returned, then I’ll send home your child’s library card to use
for Manistee County Library’s summer reading program.
After we
returned from visiting Ms. Jane at the Onekama Public Library, we
received a visit from Ms. Andrea, Manistee County Library children’s
librarian. She spoke to us about the reading club and other
programs offered at all six branches this summer. This year we’ve
worked hard on establishing a love for reading. This is a great way
to continue improving your child’s reading skills throughout the
summer. Attached is a copy of the schedule. It’s free!!
Also
attached is a “Summer Reading and Math Ideas” flyer about a parent
meeting for kindergarten and first grade parents. This is another
great way to help improve your child’s reading skills during the
summer. Mrs. Zajac, our Title 1 teacher will be hosting the meeting
on Wednesday, May 19th from 2:30 – 3:00 for first grade
parents. You do need to RSVP by May 14th so we can
ensure enough supplies. Remember you are your child’s best
teacher. I will be assisting Mrs. Zajac during the meeting. I hope
to see you there!

Next week
we will study geography. Our unit will cover the world in spatial
terms and then move to places and regions. I’ve found a great
resource from Weekly Reader that will help us cover these topics.
I spoke
with Mrs. Joseph, our music teacher about our annual Spring Sing.
In the past we’ve had a theme and some dress code recommendations.
She informed me that there are no dress recommendations for our
program this year, but we do ask that students wear performance
appropriate clothing.
Please
continue to send in tennis shoes on Tuesdays and Thursdays
throughout the rest of the school year.
