My son has
been sick this week and it was my turn to stay home with him on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Mr. Mason is one of our wonderful visiting teachers that the
students really enjoy and was able to be here while I was out. Mr. Mason said
the students continued to be engaged in learning activities and he enjoyed his
time in Room 177. I appreciate Mr. Mason’s expertise and the students’
cooperation and focus on learning. It is good to be back.
Our next
scheduled field trips are Thursday, February9, Friday, February 10 and Tuesday,
February 21. We will be taking a bus to West High on Thursday, February 9 to
see West High’s musical production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”. We
will leave the school at about 9:20 and return at about 12:30. On Friday,
February 10 I am excited to announce that we are going ice fishing at Jewel
Lake from 1:00-2:00. We will need drivers for this trip. I will need all
drivers to return their insurance information to the office by next Friday,
February 3. We’ll leave the school at about 12:20 and return about 2:30. On
Tuesday, February 21we will walk to the Alaska Public Lands Information Office
on 4th Avenue and do a scavenger hunt and watch a film on Alaska
animals. We will leave the school at about 12:15 and should return by about
3:00. I have sent permission slips home in today’s folder for these trips.
Please send them back as soon as possible.
Conferences
are scheduled for Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23. The
conference scheduler will be available for you to schedule conferences on
Zangle beginning on Friday, February 3. Follow this link…https://share.asdk12.org/support/conference-scheduler/SitePages/Home.aspx and it
will take you to the scheduling page. When it gives you the options for grade
level, choose mixed and my name should appear in the choices. If you are
going on vacation and would like to schedule your conference before you leave,
send me an email of the time you would like to meet and I can put it into the
system before February 3. I love conference time and talking about your
children and all the wonderful things they are doing.
On Tuesday, February 14 we will
have a valentine exchange and snack in the afternoon. If your child wishes to
participate in the exchange, he/she must bring a valentine for each student. I
have provided a list of Room 177 names on the back of the newsletter.
This week
the students have been studying math facts, synonyms, spelling, penmanship,
problem solving in math, writing our own ways to be happy quotes, practicing
math operations, reading, writing friendly letters, conjunctions, journaling,
geometry, reading comprehension and activities, beginning out biome research
and more. It has been a busy and wonderful week!
If you have
any questions or concerns, please e-mail me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org of call or
write me a note.
Sincerely,
Craig Moyer
