Dear Parents,
Denali
Holiday Night is Friday, December 11 at 6:30 p.m. The students have been
working on a presentation piece with the choir during their music class. I hope
you can join us for a night of music, food, holiday stories and more!
On
Wednesday afternoon, December 16, we will be making and decorating gingerbread
houses. I have included a list of items that the students chose to bring to
help decorate the houses. This is always a fun activity for the students. We will
begin at about 1:05. Parents are welcome to join us if they would like.
On
Thursday, December 17 Ms. Ashleigh and I are planning to have a sledding party
here at school. We will sled from 10:15 to 11:10 and then come in for hot
chocolate and a movie. We would like students to bring their own sleds that
day. I will bring some as well. I know you’re saying, “Mr. Moyer are you crazy?
There’s not enough snow to have a sledding party.” I hear you and I have it
taken care of. If it doesn’t snow by next Wednesday, I am planning to do my
famous “Snow Dance”. I am very cautious of when I do my snow dance, because the
last time I did it was on March 17, 2002. That was the year of the famous St.
Patrick’s Day snowfall of 29 inches in 24 hours. It’s hard to control the “Snow
Dance” powers, so I hope it doesn’t come to that. Think snow!
I
have decided that there will be no homework for the remainder of the year. We
will resume homework in January when we return from the break. You can still
take time to read every night, relax and enjoy some family time.
The
students have had a great week working on capitalization, spelling, math
operations, problem solving, writing thank you notes to Mr. Hickel, math facts,
reading comprehension, penmanship, the backstroke, reading, writing letters,
adverbs, learning about momentum and problem solving with Hot Wheels cars and
racetracks, and more.
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
