Sunday, January 27, 2013

I hope you have all enjoyed the days off that we have had recently!  Between two snow days and an in service day, we are definitely behind schedule.  Please take time to read this rather lengthy update.

Book Orders - The January book orders were supposed to have gone home with your child on Thursday.  They will be coming home tomorrow and in order to make a quick turn around, I would like all orders in by Wednesday.  Please be reminded I can only take checks made to scholastic.  Thank you in advance for your orders.  I am very proud of how much reading these kids are doing this year.   March is reading month and I have a variety of activities planned, so now is a great time to get gather materials!

Lit Kits - The original due date for the lit kits was Feb. 4.  I do not plan on changing this even though we have had a couple of snow days.   Please plan accordingly.

Recess -  During the winter months, we have the option of allowing the kids to stay inside during our morning break, but they must go outside for second recess.  Please make sure your child is prepared for the colder weather.  Coats, snowpants, hats, mittens and boots are all necessary.

Field Trip - On Thursday, February 14, we will be taking a field trip to Grand Rapids.  In the morning we will be entertained by the Grand Rapids Symphony.  Following the symphony, we will be traveling on to Calvin College.   A note will be coming home soon with the details.

Student Led Conferences - I do plan on conferences being student led once again this spring.  If you have concerns that you do not feel comfortable talking about with your child present, I will gladly schedule another time to meet with you.

Stay safe, dry, and warm!!
