Dear Parents,
One of my favorite
times of the year is fast approaching! Conferences will be held Wednesday,
October 26 and Thursday, October 27 from 12:45 p.m.-4:00 p.m. I will also be
offering conferences on Monday, October 24and Tuesday, October 25 from 7:00
a.m.-8:30 a.m. Students will be released at 12:30 p.m. on October 26 and 27 and
there is no school on Friday, October 28. Parents now have the ability to schedule conference
times online. The Conference Scheduler is available starting tomorrow.
Scheduling early offers you the opportunity to secure conference times that
work best for your family. Please visit the online scheduler at: www.asdk12.org/parents. You will need to find my name and go
to mix and you will find my schedule. If you are not able to use the online
system please call or email. I look
forward to meeting with you all and celebrating your child’s progress.
I am
also excited about our upcoming scheduled field trips! On Thursday, November 3
we will be walking to the Performing Arts Center to see Alaska Junior Theater’s
musical of “The Lightning Thief” from 9:30-noon. On Tuesday, November 8 we will
be walking to the Apple Store to make an i-movie. We will be leave about 10:00
and return at about noon. Finally, on Thursday, December 1 we will return to
the Performing Arts Center to see Alaska Junior Theaters “360 All Stars”. We
will leave at 9:30 and return about noon. I have sent home the permission slip
for “The Lightning Thief “ in today’s folder. As you will notice on the form
there is a section that asks if you would like to provide a scholarship. Here
at Denali Montessori, all students are invited on field trips whether they can
afford it or not. I believe that field trips are an important part of a child’s
education. Last year at the primary level we were short over $400 in field trip
money. In the past, teachers made up this difference. Now that the district
requires our wonderful administrative assistant, Ms. Woods, handle all monies,
the burden of short funds falls on our PTSA. We will be selling popcorn after
school and other fundraisers throughout the year to provide for these
scholarships, but your donations will also go to fund Denali Montessori
students going on these fabulous learning opportunities. Thank you for your
support!
The
Denali Fall Carnival is on Friday, October 28 from 6:30-8:30. The choir will
sing from 6:30-7:00 and then the carnival will begin. Please join us for music,
games, and a lot of fun. If you are able to donate a cake for the cakewalk, it
will be greatly appreciated.
If
you have not done so, you can access all future newsletters and pictures at http://denalimontessori177.blogspot.com/. If you type in your email in the box
on the right hand corner, you will automatically receive an email when I have
added anything. Thank you again to Mr. Horning for putting this together for
me!
This week has been an incredible week of learning
adjectives, fractions, money, writing “Who am I?” stories, reading, spelling,
math operations and facts, compound words, the three states of matter
experiment in science, 3 dimensional shapes in geometry, and more. I’m
exhausted just thinking about it.
Students will be released at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
October 26 and Thursday, October 27 for Parent/Teacher Conferences. There is no
school on Friday, October 28 for the Montessori In-Service training.
The students were very upset that there is no homework
during conference week, so I promise to double it the following week.
If
you have any questions or concerns, please email me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or write me a note.
Sincerely,
Craig Moyer
