Happy Friday

We’ve had a great week in the classroom. We’ve been working on 3 dimensional figures and calculating the faces, edges, and vertices on them, the different uses of commas, and land and water forms. Today we had a lot of fun taking the train around Anchorage and learning a bit more about the history of our city. Thank you to everyone who has sent in a donation for our classroom’s art project, it is really starting to come along and hopefully you’ll be able to join us at Denali’s gala to see it!

Next week on Thursday, we will be walking to the Pioneer School House and learning about what it would have been like to go to school 100 years ago. Three more permission forms are coming home today for our field trips in May. On Friday, May 8^th, we will be taking a bus to the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Since this trip will be taking up a majority of our Friday, we will have spelling tests for that week on Thursday, May 7^th. On Tuesday, May 5^th and 7^th, the Kid’s Don’t Float program will be coming in to do presentations in our classroom on water safety. Then on Thursday, May 14^th, we will go to West High School pool to practice our safety skills. This trip will cost $3 per child to cover the cost of renting out the pool and it will also be a driving field trip, so if you can find time in your schedule to join us that would be great! Attached to the permission form is the updated driver form, if you have any questions please see the office. Thanks! Finally, on Tuesday, May 19^th, we will be walking to Valley of the Moon Park for our end of the year picnic. We will spend the majority of the day there playing, eating, and celebrating the end of the school year! J
