Thursday, October 17, 2019 Reminder " Conferences-Wednesday, October 23 and Thursday, October 24. These are the days set aside to discuss your child's progress. Please sign up for a conference time! " Dismissal-12:30 Wednesday, October 23 and Thursday, October 24 " No School- Friday, October 25 " No Homework Next Week! - (The students were very upset) Dear Parents, I can't tell you how impressed I was with your children yesterday during our trip to the Apple Store. They were safe, well-behaved, engaged in the learning experience, shared and exchanged ideas. It was impressive to see. The students and I had a lot of fun with the "Coding with Sphero" program. The students had to program the Sphero robot to do various tasks, so there was a lot of trial and error, planning, measuring and thoughtful work going on. It was a wonderful learning experience. I am also excited about our next upcoming scheduled field trip! On Thursday, October 31 we will be walking to the Performing Arts Center to see "Soul Street Dance Company" brought to us by Alaska Junior Theater. We will leave the school at 11:10 and return about 1:15. We will have a snack before we leave and eat lunch when we return. Please indicate on the permission slip if you would like to order a sack lunch from the cafeteria for your child. Please return this permission slip as soon as possible as we have to pay for the show in advance. All payments are non-refundable. Chaperones please meet in Room 177 by 10:55. This should be a fun show for all! Winter weather is soon to be here. Please remember to have your child wear boots, hat, gloves, coat, and snow pants when that inevitable first snow falls. Also, please label all your child's gear. Many of these items are very similar and it makes it so much easier to keep track of your child's items. We have been busy in Room 177 learning about time, money, antonyms, verbs, math facts and operations, reading, writing, penmanship, thank you letters, continents and oceans, the perimeter, spelling and more! It has been a wonderful week! Your children continue to amaze me! If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or write me a note. Sincerely, Craig Moyer
