Dear Parents,
The
Denali Montessori Gala will be at the Anchorage Museum on Friday, May 13. We
will be auctioning baskets that evening to raise funds for our Montessori
program. Our class has been assigned to gather items for a basket to be
auctioned. Our basket theme is “Garden Lover”. If you would like to help build
our basket by sending in gardening items like trowels, gardening gloves, a
tractor, gift certificates to gardening shops, a weed whacker or anything else
gardening related, we would really appreciate it. Please send those items in by
May 6. Thanks for your support!
Tuesday,
April 19 we will be visiting the museum from 9:45-2:00. Chaperones please meet
in Room 177 by 9:30. We will leave at 9:45 and return at about 2:00. Please
send your child with a lunch and drink unless you ordered one from the
cafeteria. Wednesday, April 20 we will be going to the U.S. District Court to
be part of a trial, “U.S. vs. Goldilocks” and possibly visit some jail cells
from 9:45-12:00. Tuesday, April 26 we will hike and have a picnic at the Eagle
River Nature Center from 9:15-1:45. Thursday, April 28 we will walk to the Pioneer
School House for a tour from 12:30-3:00. Tuesday, May 3 we will be going to the
Native Heritage Center from 9:20-1:30 for a tour of all the wonderful things
they have to offer. Thursday, May 5 we will go to the Performing Arts Center to

we will make our final museum visit from 9:45-2:00. Friday, May 13 we will be
going to the West High Pool for the Kids Don’t Float activities. We will drive
to the pool at about 1:00 and return at about 3:15. 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. One more important event will be the 3rd
Grade Recognition ceremony, we have to say good-bye to our third graders and
wish them well as they move on to fourth grade. We are planning to have this
ceremony on Friday, May 6 from 2:20-3:15. 3rd grade parents please
let me know if that date will not work for you as soon as possible. Put these
dates on your calendar and we would love to have you join us if possible. I
have sent home permission slips for our trips on Tuesday, April 26 and Thursday,
April 28 in today’s folder.
The students have been focusing on work this week very
well. We have been reading, writing using similes and descriptive language,
math operations and facts, algebra, poetry, friendly letters, and more. We had
a class meeting about treating others with respect, using a friendly tone when
we solve problems, and being in control of our bodies. This time of year when
the light returns to Alaska, students and adults take advantage of the good
weather and stay up later. We get a little manic with the influx of light and
this often leads to emotional children and adults. This is such a wonderful,
caring and compassionate class and I want us to end the year on a positive
note. Please help reinforce this with your child at home and make sure your
child is getting enough sleep. Thanks for all you do!
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
