Dear Parents,
Tomorrow is
our trip to the Captain Cook Hotel to see the gingerbread village. Then we will
walk to the Anchorage Museum to eat lunch, explore the Discovery Center, Spark
Lab and any other areas we would like to see. We will leave the school at about
11:00 and return about 2:30. Chaperones please meet in Room 177 by 10:45.
On Tuesday, December 8 we will
celebrate a successful first semester with a pool party at West High Pool. We
will drive to West High Pool at 1:30 and return at 3:30. We will have use of
the slide and the entire pool. Don’t worry if your child is not a good swimmer.
All students will be required to wear a life jacket unless they choose to take
a swim test and pass it. No one should feel embarrassed if they can’t swim. I
am not the greatest swimmer and will be wearing a life jacket. No one will make
fun of you if you are wearing a life jacket. This is a fun time to enjoy the
slide and water fun!
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.
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!
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,
math facts, reading comprehension, poetry, reading, writing letters, learning
about momentum 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
