May 2008

Dear Parents,

It’s hard to believe we’re almost at the end of the school year. We’ve had a lot of fun. I hope the children learned something along the way. This will be my last newsletter. I would like to thank all of you for your support, interest, and thoughtfulness.

At this time of the school year most of the glue sticks are pretty well used up. Please ask your child if he/she needs a new gluestick to finish out the year. Thank you.

Our Letter People for May include Miss K who has a Kaboom Kick, Miss Y who does Yodeling Yawns, Mr. Q with Quiet Questions, and Mr. X who is Different. We will do simple addition and subtraction in Math this month.

We will be having our annual Letter People Day on, Friday, May 23rd. Each child will choose a letter out of a hat, and I will send home a note to let you know which letter was picked. I’m asking you to help your child dress like the chosen Letter Person, to know the letter’s name and three words that begin with that letter. We will be visiting several other classrooms to share our Letter People. PLEASE DON’T BUY ANYTHING FOR A COSTUME! I’m encouraging your child and you to use creativity and come up with a fun outfit.

I am encouraging the children to read simple stories to me, and then I will send them home to be read to you. Please take a few minutes to listen to their reading. They are very proud when they can read to Mom or Dad. The stories should come back to school the very next day. Thanks!

Thanks so much for a wonderful year!

Mrs. Post
