                 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
