Happy Friday!

We had a busy week here in the classroom. We’ve been working on classifying triangles by angles, using pronouns, and finishing up our work on Asia. We have also been working being respectful of each other and using kind words. Today was our field trip to the Public Lands and to see the start of the Fur Rondy Races downtown. We learned all about Alaskan animals and we got to see the sled dogs up close for the races. It was a lot of fun!

On Wednesday, March 9^th, we will be going to the museum to explore the new Near the Bear exhibit and see a show in the planetarium. We will be leaving Denali at 9:45 and returning at 2:00pm. This is a free field trip and we will be eating lunch at the museum. On Thursday, March 3^rd , there will be a parent tea for the third grade parents at 5:30 in Denali’s library. This is a change for the third grade parents to meet the intermediate teachers and ask any questions about the transition to 4^th grade. Denali is also participating the Jump Rope for Heart and I packed is going home about this program.

We earned a tally party and after a very close classroom vote, it was decided that will have a game/read in day on Friday, March 4^th. Your child is invited to bring in a game to share and/or a book to read (as long as it is small enough to fit in their backpack and they can carry it on their own). Thanks! Snack calendars are also going home today for the month of March.
