Dear families,

May 6, 2016

Happy May!! It certainly doesn’t feel like May, but I know when the sunshine returns we will appreciate it more than ever. Speaking of appreciation, I appreciate you all so much. This week all the teachers at Melrose were overwhelmed with the kindness we saw from children and parents. We appreciate the candy, cards, lunch, coffee and beautiful flowers. I really do feel so lucky to teach in such a great community. The support and connection we have with families is what make our school so successful so thank you!!!

On Friday, Mr. Ucci ran the Melrose Derby, in honor of the Kentucky Derby this Saturday. Thank you to Mr. Ucci for organizing and running such a fun activity every year. The students love it!

If your child has mentioned walking club it is run by the PTO. Students can walk up on the field with volunteers on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. They can earn a little foot to put on a bracelet for every 10 laps they walk and they seen to be enjoying it.

We are planning to go to Casey Farm to explore life on the the farm on Friday, June 6th. We will leave around 9:00 am and return approximately 12:45 pm. Children will bring a paper bag lunch and have a picnic at the farm. If you would like to chaperone please let me know. The cost for chaperones is $10.00.
I will be sending home a permission shortly, which will include more details, I just wanted to let you know the date at this time.

Our kindergarten graduation is scheduled for 9:00 am on Tuesday, June 21st. Following the graduation we will have a family picnic at Fort Wetherill.

Parents and family members meet at Fort Wetherill and bring their own lunch, games and chairs and blanket. It is always a wonderful day, where families can celebrate the graduation together. I look forward to seeing you all there.

This week, the class worked hard on creating a project for their mom .. this including science, art and writing!

We are learning about pill bugs and sow bugs now. If you go for a walk with your child, they should be able to tell you where you can find them and the differences between them.

I wish you all a very Happy Mother’s Day and I thank you for sharing your child with me!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. MacIntyre
