| The class at the Apple Store! |
Thursday, September 7, 2017
Dear Parents,
I can’t
tell you how impressed I was with your children last week during our trip to
the Apple Store last week. They were safe, well-behaved, engaged in the
learning experience, sharing and exchanging ideas. It was impressive to see.
The students and I had a lot of fun with the “Coding with Sphero” experience
that was a last-minute change to our program. The students had to program the
Sphero robot to do various tasks, so there was a lot of trial and error, planning,
measuring, thoughtful work going on. If you are interested in purchasing a
“Sphero” for the class, we would love it.
Our second field trip of the year
will be on Wednesday, September 13. We will be taking a bus to Pyrah’s Farm in
Palmer. This is a great trip that the entire primary wing is attending.
Chaperones please meet in Room 177 by 9:00. We will leave the school at 9:20
a.m. and should return at about 2:00 p.m. I have sent home permission slips in
today’s folder of all those that have not returned a permission slip. Please
return them as soon as possible. Thank you to Ms. Homan, one of our wonderful
primary teachers, for making this trip possible!
Please mark your calendars for
Thursday, September 14 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. This is your chance to visit the
classroom and find out more about the Montessori program at the Denali Open
House. I look forward to seeing you then.
I have
included your child’s spelling and reading homework in today’s folder. This
spelling work is due on Friday, September 15 and the students will be tested on
that day as well. Last week’s words will be tested tomorrow.
It’s been
another great week in Room 177! The 2nd and 3rd graders
have been great role models this year in their work effort and citizenship. The
1st graders have been following along and are working very well.
It’s been a lot of fun to see. We have been studying spelling words, nouns,
compound words, rhyming words, penmanship, reading, place value, math facts and
operations, geometry, writing our own creation stories, thank you letters, and
friendly letters. I really enjoy working with your children and observing their
growth.
Thank you
to Cole’s Mom, who has graciously given her time to fill our Thursday folders
each week. I appreciate it!
If you have
any questions or concerns, please email me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or
write me a note.
Sincerely,
Craig Moyer
