Dear Parents, Please join us tonight Thursday, September 14 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and find out more about the Montessori program at the Denali Open House. This is your chance to find out what your child is doing in Room 177. I look forward to seeing you tonight. It’s been another great week in Room 177! The 2nd and 3rd graders have been great role models this year in their work effort and citizenship. The 1st graders have been following along and are working very well. It’s been a lot of fun to see. We have been studying spelling words, nouns, rhyming words, classification, penmanship, reading, place value, math facts and operations, geometry, writing our own creation stories, and writing friendly letters. We also had a presentation on Maria Montessori’s Second Great Lesson: The Formation of Earth. Next week we will learn about the Third Great Lesson: The Coming of Life. I really enjoy working with your children and observing their growth. Our first field trip of the year will be on Wednesday, October 3! We will be walking to the Apple Store in the 5th Avenue Mall to make our creation stories come to life. We will record our stories as a podcast and make an i-movie as well. This should be a great trip. I will send permission slips in next week’s folder. Our school is holding an emergency food drive. The Food Bank is very low on food and needs our help. If you are able to send in food, there are families that would appreciate it. There will be a table at the entrance to the school to drop off your donations. Thank you. If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or write me a note. Sincerely, Craig Moyer
