Happy Friday!

We’ve had a great week in the classroom. We’ve been continuing to explore Australia and finish up out biography posters. We also made geometrical stars using our knowledge of points, line segments, and rays and worked on apostrophes and contractions. On Thursday, we went to see Shrek at West High School. Before going to the musical, we read the picture book that inspired the movie. It was really interesting to compare and contrast the three differed interpretations of the story. Mr. Chuck, our music teacher, would love if we could all find our recorders and bring them for rest of our music classes. J

Two permission forms are going home today. One is for our Centennial train ride at the Alaska Railroad on Friday, April 24^th. We will be walking to the train station and then taking a train ride out to Westchester Lagoon. We will be leaving school around 9:15am and returning around 12:15pm. The second one is for the Pioneer School House on Thursday, April 30^th. The Pioneer School House will recreate what it would have been like to go to school in 1915. We will be walking and leaving Denali at 12:30pm and returning to the school around 3pm.
