Dear Parents,

         Last Friday, we had another wonderful “Teachers of the Day” experience led by 3^rd graders Alexandra and Kylie. Alexandra brought her guinea pig and the two teachers taught the students about caring for a guinea pig. The students and I learned a lot and had a fun day. Thank you Kylie and Alexandra!

Our next field trip is on Tuesday, February 17 from 12:15-3:15 we will walk to the Anchorage Museum and take a docent led tour of the “Life in Alaska” exhibit. We will also explore the Imaginarium and other exhibits.  On Thursday, February 26 we will take a bus to West High to see “Monsters III”, a puppet show about Anchorage’s history from 9:15-11:30. Friday February 27, we will walk to the Public Lands Information Office for a scavenger hunt and movie and then watch the start of the Fur Rendezvous Sled Dog Race at noon. This trip will be from 9:30-12:45. I have sent home permission slips for these three trips in today’s folder.        

         On Friday, February 13 we will have a valentine exchange and snack in the afternoon. If your child wishes to participate in the exchange, he/she must bring a valentine for each student. I have provided a list of Room 177 names on the back of the newsletter.

         I have sent home parent/teacher conference slips in today’s folder. I used the same schedule as in the fall. If your student has a sibling in another class, please try to keep that appointment, as it is difficult to rearrange all the other teacher’s schedules. If the scheduled time doesn’t work for you, please let me know as soon as possible. I really enjoy conference time because I love talking about the incredible growth your children making. I look forward to seeing you all soon.

We have been hard at work this week reading, writing letters, planet research, six kingdom research, beginning our continent of Asia study, math operations and facts, penmanship, compound words, geometry, information and study skills and more.

         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
