Thursday, February 9, 2017

            Our next scheduled field trips are tomorrow Friday, February 10. We are going ice fishing at Jewel Lake from 1:00-2:00. Please have your child dressed for the weather. The forecast is for single digit highs. I can’t take a student who does not have the proper gear to be out in those temperatures for over an hour. The nurse sometimes has extra gear, but there are many classes going and it may be gone. I want the students to enjoy this trip and the correct gear is necessary. We’ll leave the school at about 12:20 and return about 2:30. Drivers please meet in Room 177 by 12:10. On Tuesday, February 21we will walk to the Alaska Public Lands Information Office on 4^th 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. I have sent permission slips home in today’s folder for these trips. Please send them back as soon as possible.

            Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23. The conference scheduler will be available for you to schedule conferences on Zangle beginning on Friday, February 3. 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.

On Tuesday, February 14 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.

            This week the students have been studying gravity and the scientific method, math facts, synonyms, spelling, penmanship, problem solving in math, writing, practicing math operations, reading, writing friendly letters, interjections, journaling, geometry, reading comprehension and activities, biome, continents, and country research and more. It has been a busy and wonderful 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
