Field Trip Reminder
The First Graders will be taking a trip to Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter on March 18th from about 9:00am-1:00pm. Chaperones should be at the school by 9:00am. Chaperones need to sign in at the office prior to coming down to their child's classroom. Students will need a sack lunch (please no lunch boxes, plastic containers, or glass) or have made arrangements to purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria. We will be going rain or shine, so please dress appropriately for the weather. Students are encouraged to wear any Salem Elementary or Michigan t-shirt and comfortable walking shoes or boots (if rainy). Please remember not to send any cash with your child.
Yearbooks/ Spring Pictures
Per Mr. Knapp From 2-21-20 Salem Scoop:
Spring Pictures (also known as “Fun Pictures) will take place on March 12th, 2020. Feel free to complete the order form and send it back with your student on Thursday, March 12 or complete the order online at schoolpictures.com and use the access code “AA5301”. Print the receipt and send it in with your student on the 12th.
Attached to the Picture Fun Day order form is an order form for the 2019-2020 Salem Yearbook. This is your last opportunity to order a yearbook, no extra books will be ordered and sold when yearbooks arrive in late spring. 140 families purchased their yearbooks when they ordered fall pictures, you can look at your receipt from Fall pictures if you aren’t sure you ordered or not. Please send in yearbook orders separate from your Picture Fun Day order. Again, we will not sell yearbooks out of the office after they arrive, we are only ordering yearbooks for those that have pre-purchased. All orders must be received by Thursday, March 12, 2020.
March is Reading Month
March is Reading Month has begun! This year's theme is #MIcoyotes Booking Across Michigan. In addition to everything schoolwide, I will also be having a few special activities in our classroom.

Another activity we will be having EVERY Friday, starting March 6th is Flashlight Friday! Students will read in the dark with their flashlight:) Please make sure that your child's flashlight is labeled with their name.
Later on in the month, I will also be hosting a book swap. Students will be able to bring in a couple of books that they don't want anymore, and swap them for some other student books. I will let you know the date when I figure it out, but for now, your child can start looking through their shelves to see what they want to swap:)
Reading is so much fun!!
