Dear Families,

November 17, 2017

Happy Friday! I am excited to take the class today to McQuades on Monday. We have our bags of change ready and our shopping cards all set to go. Thank you also for your donations for our classroom basket. As of this year we are a Feinstein School. We are dedicated to helping our students value being a good person and doing good deeds for themselves and others. Kindergartener has always collected food at thanksgiving but this year with all the grades participating we have collected an enormous amount. Great work Melrose students!

Thanks to all of you for coming in for parent/teacher conferences. It is always nice to talk to the parents and families of the students I spend so much time with. Thank you so much for your support and trust. It makes my job so rewarding to work with such great students and families. Please feel free to email me anytime if there is anything I didn’t cover during our time together.

The students have been working very hard on their Native American crafts. We will continue to work on them next week.  We have been making drums, pattern necklaces, and headbands.  The students have also learned about How Native Americans lived off the land and now they often had to move their tepees to a new area. It led to the reading of some interesting literature and some nice classroom discussions.

My hope is that everything will be sent home on Wednesday the 22nd. If you are not going to be here due to travel plans please let me know in advance and I will send them home what we have so far.

The class is very excited about Thanksgiving and we are comparing the First Thanksgiving to the way many of us celebrate Thanksgiving now.

On Thursday, we were treated to a practice performance by the 2nd graders and their Thanksgiving play. It was a great show! I am glad we were able to attend the performance.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,

Mrs. MacIntyre
