Tok School's Fantastic 4th Graders

Weekly Greetings! The last few days of school are here, and we start off the week with another field trip! Monday will be our final spring field trip to Moon Lake with Tim Lorenzinz of the Tetlin Refuge. The students will observe and photograph any wildlife we see there. Tuesday and Wednesday will be regular school days, except the class will pick up trash on Wednesday afternoon around the ball field and fairgrounds. The last day of school on Thursday will begin with an awards assembly at 8:30 am, and then there will be field day activities with a picnic after. Students will be released at 1:00pm for summer vacation.

Your child will need a swimsuit and towel, and may bring extra snacks. I will have bottled water, snacks, and a bag lunch for the trip there.

Please remember that you will need to meet us there, as we will probably return between 6pm and 7pm. For this trip, I will allow electronic devises but your child must be responsible for it if you choose to send one along. Now. to recap the highlights from last week!
