K-3 Newsletter
Mrs. MacIntyre
June 12, 2015
Dear Families,
This will be my
last newsletter for the year, as I reflect upon the school year and write what
will be our last newsletter, I think back to September. I am amazed and excited
of how much the children have grown during the school year. While I believe
learning our sight words, reading books , learning our numbers and learning
addition and subtraction is important in kindergarten , I also believe what we
have learned about each other and
ourselves are skills that we can only learn when we are together in a group We have learned that when we listen to each
other and respect ourselves and each other then we will be successful learners
and have more fun at the same time! The children in K-3 are full of excitement
and enthusiasm each and every day. I hope that continues throughout their years
of schooling. I hope you cherish every year with your child as they go through
school…. Believe me it goes faster than you can imagine!
On graduation day,
Thursday June 25th, there will be 3 tables set up in the back of the
multi-purpose room, one table for each classroom. There will be end of the year
bags for each child. Inside will be class work we have done and other things
from school. Please make sure to take your child’s bag with you. I will make
sure all the cubbies are cleaned out before graduation so you do not have to
worry about that.
Following
graduation, please meet at Fort Wetherill for a family picnic and games. Please
remember to bring your own picnic and drink and blanket and games. Remember
that there are no garbage cans there so you have to take your own trash home
with you,, you may want to bring a garbage bag. Please also remember sunscreen.
I have no idea what the weather will be but let’s hope for a beautiful day.
Also, a reminder that children DO NOT come back to school after the picnic.
On Wednesday, we
had a great time at Field Day. Mr. Ucci did such a wonderful job preparing
games for us to play. I am sure your children will tell you all about it!! Thank
you to all the parent volunteers!
A note about graduation day, please remember to drop your child off at the
REGULAR TIME. The graduation will begin at 9:15 promptly. I
would arrive a bit earlier. K-3 will be on the right hand side of the stage.(
if you are facing the stage)
Also, they do not
need a morning snack or drink. I will have something for them.
**PENNY CARNIVAL is Thursday June
18th. Please have your child bring in a bag of coins (pennies and dimes
or nickels) to play games designed by the 4th graders!!!!! Label
your bag please!!!
I would like to
take the opportunity to say goodbye to our friends that our leaving this
beautiful island of ours. Farewell and all the best to Booth McGraw, Jacob Marks,
Mary Faith Meyers and Peter Seguin. You have brought so much to our classroom
and our school and all of us here at Melrose School will miss you and your
families. We were lucky to have you be a part of our year.
I
know this is a lot of info. Please let me know if you have any questions about
any of this!
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
Fondly,
Colleen MacIntyre
