Dear Parents,
Thank you to all who were able to attend the Peace Concert and
make donations to The Malawi Children’s Village! Your support has raised over
$2,100 to support this wonderful cause. Thank you.
Here is a list of our scheduled field trips at this time. (Look
closely, there are two new ones) Friday, April 28 we will walk to the Pioneer
School House for a tour from 12:30-3:00. On Wednesday, May 3 we will walk to
the Performing Arts Center to see the Asian Cultural Performance. We will leave
the school at 9:15 and should return at about 11:45. Friday, May 5 we will need
drivers to take us to Bartlett High School for orienteering from 11:30-1:30. Wednesday,
May 10 we will once again need drivers to take us to the Alaska Native Heritage
Center for Preview Day. We will leave the school at 9:30 and return at about
1:30. Wednesday, May 17 we will need drivers to take us to West High Pool for
the Kids Don’t Float pool session. We will leave the school at 12:30 and return
at 2:30. Tuesday, May 23 we will be taking a bus to the Eagle River Nature
Center to take a hike and have a picnic lunch on the river in what should be
about perfect weather at 75 degrees and sunny. (I’m optimistic) The last day of
school, Wednesday, May 24 we will have our annual Primary Wing Barbecue at
Valley of the Moon Park from 10:00-2:30. This will be a walking field trip. Put
these dates on your calendar and we would love to have you join us if possible.
I have sent the permission slip for the Asian Cultural Performance and the
Alaska Native Heritage Center in today’s folder. I have also sent home
permission slips to individual students who have not returned the ones
previously sent. Please return these permission slips as soon as possible. I
will not make phone calls to get permission for any of the field trips. I will
send up to 3 permission slips home with a child. It is the child and parents’
responsibility to return them. We have enough chaperones for the next week’s
trip to the Pioneer School House on the 28th. We are rather short on
drivers for our orienteering trip on Friday, May 5. I appreciate your gift of
time to make all these trips possible.
One more important event is our 3rd Grade
Recognition Ceremony in which we send our 3rdgraders with a big
thank you and good luck in the future. This event scheduled for Friday, May 12
at 11:15.
The students and I are battling a tough case of “Spring Fever”
with all this beautiful weather, but they have been engaging in a nice work
cycle this week and I am enjoying working with them. We have been studying
numbers and operations, math operations and facts, grammar, writing, spelling,
writing friendly letters, predators and prey, ecosystems, adaptations, animal
and continent research, the life cycle of a butterfly (We have caterpillars!)
and more. It’s been a great week!
The students are really having a tough time with the fact that
there will be no more homework sent home the remainder of the year. I encourage
students to continue reading and practice math facts, but there will not be any
more spelling. Thanks.
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
