Dear Parents,
We
had a fabulous learning experience at the Campbell Creek Science Center
yesterday! The students participated in experiments learning about how whales
use blubber as insulation, what types of socks are best to wear in cold
weather, and how a snow shelter can actually keep you warm. They examined snow
crystals under a microscope. They had the opportunity to see Alaskan animal
adaptations by looking at a variety of furs, feet, and skeletons. We went on a
fabulous snowshoe hike. It was an excellent trip! Thank you to all the
chaperones and drivers that made it happen!
Next
week is the beginning of Spring Break for the students. There is no school on
Friday, March 10 and student s will return to school on Monday, March 20. We
will not have homework until we return from Spring Break.
We
will celebrate the end of the 3rd quarter with a Read-In next
Thursday, March 9. I will be serving waffles and juice in the morning. Students
may wear pajamas and bring a stuffed animal, blanket and some good books to
read. We will be participating in reading activities throughout the day.
I
have thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you all and celebrating your child’s
success. I appreciate all you do on your child’s behalf. I love working with
your children and observing their growth and maturity academically, socially,
and emotionally. Thank you for all your help with field trips, spelling tests,
laminating, listening to students read, sharing your expertise with the class,
and all you do to make Room 177 and Denali Montessori such a wonderful place to
be.
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
