Dear Parents,

            Tonight, Thursday, November 19 is Denali’s Literature Night! Please join us from 6:30-8:00. There will be games, art, food, and more in this great community event!

Please help us with our Denali Montessori Food Drive. We are collecting all the pieces to make great holiday meals for our Denali families in need. Each class is contributing a specific item and ours is a can of corn. If you could bring in a can of corn for those in need, it would be much appreciated!

Our class is going to have a Thanksgiving potluck on Wednesday, November 25 from 12:30-1:30 with Mr. Harjehausen’s class. Students will be making placemats, cooking, and preparing for our guests. In addition to the items we make, students may bring an item to share. So we don’t have 24 Jell-O molds, we will have first graders bring fruit or a salad or a Jell-O mold, second graders a dessert, and third graders a main dish item. Parents are welcome to join us for the feast. This should be a fun event to get to know our neighbors and celebrate our blessings.

Our next scheduled field trip is Thursday, December 3. We will walk to the Performing Arts Center to see Junior Theater’s production of “Madeline and the Bad Hat”. We will leave school at about 9:30 and return at about 11:45. On Friday, December 4 we will be walking to the Captain Cook Hotel to see the gingerbread village created by master chef, Mr. Hickel. He will talk to us and answer questions about how he created the village. Afterwards, we will walk to the museum, eat lunch and explore any areas we wish. We will walk to the hotel at about 10:30 and return about 2:30.  On Tuesday, December 8 we will be driving to West High Pool for an end of the semester swimming celebration! We will leave school at about 1:30 and return by 3:30. Permission slips are in today’s folder.

It has been a fabulous week with the students working on biome research, spelling, science experiments, math operations and facts, adverbs, writing, compound words, capitalization, reading, geometry, penmanship, vocabulary, fractions, and more.

There is no homework for next week. Please enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday with health and happiness!

The cupboards are bare in Room 177. If you could help replenish the snack cupboard, the students that have hot lunch or forget their snack would really appreciate it. Thank you!

            If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or write me a note.

Sincerely,

Craig Moyer
