Dear Parents,
Tonight is Denali Montessori’s Open
House from 6:30-8:00. Please meet in the multipurpose room where we will have a
short introduction of the staff and PTSA leadership team. This is your chance
to visit the classroom and find out more about the Montessori program and see
what your child is doing all day at school. I will also have parent volunteer
sign up sheets for a variety of needs. I look forward to seeing you tonight!
Our first field trip of the year
will be on Friday, September 30. I sent home permission slips last Friday and
there is another one in today’s folder if you have not returned it yet. We will
be walking the Anchorage Museum for a planetarium show and interactive
experience and Spark Lab and Discovery Center explore time. Chaperones please
meet in Room 177 by 9:30. We will leave the school at 9:45 and return at about
1:45. Students need to bring their own lunch and drink, unless they have
ordered one from the cafeteria. You may have noticed that there is no cost for
this trip. The Anchorage Museum is our wonderful business partner that allows
us access to all their incredible programs free of charge. Thank you Anchorage
Museum!
I hope you take a look at our first
bulletin board of the year when you come to Open House tonight or are just
stopping by. Third graders, Finn and Robert, designed the bulletin board with
the slogan, “Room 177 Is On Top Of The World” The students colored a superhero
body and another student took face pictures to put on top of the body. Finn and
Robert then put it altogether. It really is a great bulletin board and I must
say I haven’t looked this good in years. Students took over the job of creating
the bulletin boards years ago when I realized that the students have much
better ideas and creations than I do. Please stop by and check out Finn and
Robert’s wonderful work!
Please sign up for the classroom
newsletter online. You can go to www.denalimontessori177.blogspot.com
and enter your email to receive an automatic email anytime I post a newsletter
or other item.
We have had an incredible week learning about
the noun, penmanship, symmetry, spelling, reading activities, classification,
writing friendly and thank you letters, math facts and operations, geometry, writing
about peace, and more!
If you have
any questions or concerns, please email me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or
write me a note. Thanks for all you do on behalf of your children!
Sincerely,
Craig Moyer
