Book It

 

Dear Parents,

Starting today, we will begin an exciting reading challenge called Book-It!  I have provided a blank October calendar for you and your child to keep track of each day that your child reads or is read to.  I am asking that students read for 20 minutes per day. Since all students are already doing this, all I ask is that you fill out the calendar in addition to the log.  So please put a check mark or an X on the calendar of the days you read or were read to and parents please sign at the bottom and return to class at the end of each month.  We will post our Book-It Reader Roster and keep track of all those that participate.  At the end of a completed month, your child will receive a Pizza Hut coupon for a free personal pan pizza!  Happy Reading!

Thanks,

Ms. Truxall

Field Trip!

October 1, 2018

 

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday, October 24, 2018, our class will be attending a field trip to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.  We will be leaving at 9:00am and returning to school around 2:30pm. We will be in need of chaperones that can drive a group of children to the museum and be willing to pay for parking in a nearby parking structure.  If you want to drive only your own child, please check that space below.  The parking structure is 2 short blocks away.  Parking costs $1.20 an hour.  Chaperones are free at the museum.  Children’s admission will cost $14.

Please send a lunch for your child.  All chaperones will need to bring a lunch as well since there are no places to buy lunch in the museum.  We will eat in a room provided by the museum.

We will have time to explore the museum and also have a program called Slime Time.  We will be working with solids and liquids during the program.

There is a gift shop at the museum and we will designate some time to shop.  Please send shopping money for your child (if you choose) but send no more than $15. Chaperones will NOT be purchasing items for children who do not bring money.

Please fill out and sign below.  Return the bottom portion of this letter along with your payment by Friday, October 19, 2018.

Thanks,

Ms. Truxall

**If your child uses a booster seat, please send that the morning of the trip.

**Please see Bernadette soon if you need to fill out paperwork to attend the trip.  Last year’s paperwork should still be valid if you filled it out last year.
