Dear Parents,
The
3rd graders will be taking the Alaska Measures of Progress (AMP)
tests starting Tuesday, March 29 through Thursday, March 31 and resuming on
Monday, April 4. Friday, April 15 is a make up day. The tests will start
promptly at 9:30 each day. 3rd grade parents please send your child
well rested, well fed, and relaxed and ready to do his or her best. We won’t
have spelling tests or homework for next week due to the 3rd grade
testing.
Here
is an updated list of our scheduled field trips. On Friday, April 1 we will be
taking a bus to UAA to see a musical production of “The Wizard of Oz” from
9:15-12:30. Chaperones please meet in
Room 177 by 9:00. Tuesday, April 19 we will be visiting the museum from
9:45-2:00. Wednesday, April 20 we will be going to the U.S. District Court to
be part of a trial and possibly visit some jail cells from 9:45-12:00.
Thursday, April 28 we will walk to the Pioneer School House for a tour from
12:30-3:00. Thursday, May 12, we will make our final museum visit from
9:45-2:00. The last day of school, Thursday, May 19 we will have our annual
Primary Wing Barbecue at Valley of the Moon Park from 10:00-2:30. Put these
dates on your calendar and we would love to have you join us if possible.
I
have sent third quarter report cards home in today’s folder. Please take a few
moments to talk with your child to celebrate his or her accomplishments and
discuss some areas he or she needs to improve. Teaching your children how to
set goals is an important tool and gift that you can give them.
The
students have settled back into a nice work cycle this week. We have been
studying capitalization, word analysis, numbers and operations, math operations
and facts, grammar, writing, spelling, writing friendly letters, animal and
continent research, and more. In addition the 3rd graders have been
taking AMP practice tests to familiarize them with the format. It’s been a
great week!
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
