The class
and I want to give a big thank you to Tristan’s Mom! She baked every child
(Myself and Mrs. R.), a giant heart cookie in a bag with his or her name on it.
Each bag contained frosting, chocolate letters, red hots, and licorice to
decorate their cookies. The students were having a blast decorating their
cookies! It really made for a special Valentine’s Day party. Thank you
Tristan’s Mom!
Our next scheduled field trip is on
Tuesday, February 21. We will walk to the Alaska Public Lands Information
Office on 4th Avenue and do a scavenger hunt and watch a film on
Alaska animals. We will leave the school at about 12:15 and should return by
about 3:00. Chaperones please meet in Room 177 by 12:00. Thank you to all the
chaperones that make these learning experiences happen!
I am so excited to announce that we
are going to the Campbell Creek Science Center on Thursday, March 2. We will
drive there, leaving the school at 9:20 a.m. and return to school by 3:30 p.m.
This full day program is usually $24 per student, but we have received funding
to reduce the cost to $4 per student. We will participate in a learning
experience called, “Snow Sleuths”. This should be a fantastic trip!
Conferences
are scheduled for Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23. The
conference scheduler is available for you to schedule conferences on Zangle
now. Follow this link
http://www.asdk12.org/ConferenceScheduling/StudentScheduleStartExt.aspx and it
will take you to the scheduling page. When it gives you the options for grade
level, choose mixed and my name should appear in the choices. Please let
me know if the times don’t work for you. We’ll find a time that does. I love
conference time and talking about your children and all the wonderful things
they are doing.
This week
the students have been studying beginning algebra, math facts, synonyms,
spelling, penmanship, problem solving in math, writing, practicing math
operations, reading, writing thank you letters, grammar, journaling, geometry,
reading comprehension and activities, biome, continents, animals, biographies,
and country research and more. It has been a busy and wonderful week!
There will
be no homework next week due to the short conference week. We shall resume
spelling tests Friday, March 3 and I will send that work home next 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
