Happy Friday! On Monday we had a great trip to the Pioneer School House and learned all about what it would have been like to go to school in Anchorage in 1915. This week we planted our sunflower sprouts and learned about homonyms. On Monday, the 28^th, we will be practicing our citizenship skills and heading outside to pick up trash around the school. Remember, if you have not turned in your permission form, your child cannot attend. So please send those forms in. We are also looking for a couple more parent chaperones for the outing, so if you are free Monday after around 12:30 until about 2:00pm, please think about joining us.

We have two more field trips coming up in May. On Wednesday, the 7^th, we will be heading to the Alaska Native Heritage Center from 9:30am until 1:30pm. We will be taking a bus out there with some of the other primary classrooms. Yesterday, we had a presentation from the Kids Don’t Float program talking about water safety. We will have one more presentation from them on Monday and then on Thursday, May 8^th, we will go to West High swimming pool at 1:45pm to practice our water safety skills. The cost of the field trip will be $4.00 each. We will need both drivers and chaperones for the swimming trip. On the back of the permission form for the swimming trip there is a driver form. If you have already filled one of these forms out this school year, you do not need to fill out another one. Thanks!

The Denali talent show has been scheduled for May 16^th. May 9^th in the fundraising gala at the museum and movie night at school. Our classroom is putting together a Picnic basket for gala. If you have or see anything that you think would be a good addition to a picnic basket, please think about donating it to our basket.
