Dear Parents, Tomorrow we are walking to the Performing Arts Center to see Alaska Junior Theater’s “Air Play”. We will leave the school at 11:00 and should be back about 1:15. We will eat lunch in the classroom before we leave at 10:20. Chaperones are welcome to join us for lunch, but don’t need to be in Room 177 until 10:45. Thank you to all the chaperones that are able to join us. It should be a fun performance. Our final field trip of 2017 is Thursday, December 20. We will be driving to the West High Pool for some water fun. We will leave the school at 12:30 and return by 2:30ish. If your child requires or you prefer your child to use a booster seat and you are not driving, please send in your child’s booster seat on Thursday morning. Your child also needs to bring his or her own swimsuit, towel, goggles (optional), and plastic bag (for the wet swimsuit). Don’t worry if your child is not a swimmer. Students will all be given a life jacket, unless they choose to take the swimming test. We have use of the slide and most of the students stay together in the shallow end any way and have a good time together. I want everyone to have fun and not to worry if you can’t swim. Chaperones, I need a copy of your current valid driver’s license, a copy of your current vehicle registration, and a copy of your proof of insurance with the minimum $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage included. Parents will need to sign the district swimming form waiver or your child may not attend. I can’t make phone calls to get permission on this trip. I have put permission slips in today’s folder. Please return them as soon as possible. Thanks! Let’s have fun swimming! Holiday Night 2018 will be held on Friday, December 14th from 6:30-8:30. This event will be an opportunity for parents, students, faculty & staff to celebrate the Season. The evening will incorporate singing by the Denali Choir and our class (that’s correct, our class will be singing), holiday fun and more. Please put this on your calendar. The students have had a great week working on homophones, spelling, math operations, problem solving, math facts, reading comprehension, penmanship, reading, writing letters, pronouns, vocabulary, science, classification, geometry, and more.
