Dear Parents,

         Last Friday, October 30 we had another wonderful time, as Brianna and Samantha were our “Teachers of the Day”. The teachers did a super job giving spelling tests, doing pumpkin work, teaching us about the Steller sea cow, and more. It was a very peaceful and informative day!

         Thursday, November 19 is Denali’s Literature Night! Please join us from 6:30-8:30. There will be games, art, food, and more in this great community event!

Our next scheduled field trip is Thursday, December 3. We will walk to the Performing Arts Center to see Junior Theater’s production of “Madeline and the Bad Hat”. We will leave school at about 9:30 and return at about 11:45. I will send home a permission slip as this trip draws closer.

Winter has finally arrived in Anchorage and with it comes all the winter gear. Please remember to label your child’s boots, hats, gloves, snow pants, and other gear. It will make it a lot easier to sort out whose is whose. If you haven’t had time to get your child’s snow gear, please get it soon. We want your children to enjoy outdoor recess as comfortably as possible. If some of you have gently used gloves, hats, boots, coats, or snow pants that you don’t want any more, please consider donating them to nurse Pattie. We have several families in need of snow gear for their kids.

The students have had a great week working on synonyms, vocabulary, geometry, spelling, math operations, adverbs, creative writing, reading, writing letters, science experiments, informative writing, and more. This class is really impressive in their work habits, how they work with each other, and their love for learning. I am having a great time working with your kids. Thank you for all your hard work you do at home with them.

         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
