Here
are some more scheduled field trips we have planned. On Monday, March 21 we

–Light: A Glow-In-The-Dark Adventure”. We will leave the school at about 11:15

Thursday, May 19 we will have our annual Primary Wing Barbecue at Valley of the
Moon Park from 10:00-2:30. Put these dates on your calendar and we would love
to have you join us if possible.
Tonight,
Thursday, March 3 the 3rd grade parents are invited to meet the
intermediate teachers and talk about the developmental characteristics of the
9-12 year old child in the Denali Montessori Library at 5:30 p.m. This is a
great way to meet our wonderful intermediate teachers and have any questions
you may have answered.
The
homework I have sent home in today’s folder is due Friday, March 25. We have a
short week next week and will not take a spelling test. The students will be
tested on these words when we return from Spring Break.
The students have been studying
measurement, language usage skills, quotation marks, descriptive writing, math
facts and operations, spelling, reading skills, friendly letters, working as a
team, and more. We have also started a continent study of Europe. I know
several students have been to Europe and I encourage them to bring pictures and
artifacts that they could share with the class. The students will share them in
small groups of students at a time. I also invite any parents that would like
to share their cultural background or visits to Europe as well. It has been an
action packed week.
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
