Thursday, January 25, 2018 Congratulations to our Battle of the Books participants Cora, Julia, Lucas and Sage! They represented Room 177 with grace and courtesy Wednesday morning. The students all worked hard for several months reading the books on the list, memorizing the authors and book titles, and practicing sample questions. Thank you to Mrs. Harth, our wonderful librarian, who helped prepare them for the battle. We are proud of all our battlers! It is cold outside and we want your children to enjoy recess! We go out until the temperature reaches -10 degrees, so in order for your child to stay warm they need hats, gloves, snow pants, coat, and maybe a facemask. Thanks! Our next scheduled field trips are Thursday, February 8 and 15. On Thursday, February 8 we will be walking to the Alaska Performing Arts Center to see Alaska Junior Theater’s “Anatomy of a Piano” We will leave the school at about 11:00 a.m. and will return to school at about 1:15 p.m. On Thursday, February 15 we will be taking private vehicles to Jewel Lake for the Ice Fishing Jamboree put on by Fish and Game. Students will need to be bundled up for this one, but all the fishing gear is provided. We will leave the school at 9:15 a.m. and return about 11:45 a.m. These trips should be a lot of fun! I have sent permission slips for both trips in today’s folder. Please return them as soon as possible. This week the students have been studying geometry, commas, practicing math facts and operations, reading, writing friendly letters, learning about prepositions, journaling, vocabulary, reading comprehension and activities, 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
