Week 38

 Weekly Greetings!

Last week was incredible, with some special events that went very well! Before I recap all of that, I want to remind you that we will be traveling to Fort Greely on Thursday.  Make sure your child is on time that day, as we will leave shortly after breakfast. 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. After they swim, we will eat pizza before traveling back to Tok. When we leave Delta, I will call all of you with a time that we will be back at the Tok School. 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! On Tuesday, the class did a wonderful job at both performances of the Spring Concert "At the Bandstand. "  I think they really had fun with the old rock and roll songs, in addition to dressing up for the their parts.
The class also had their last art class with Ms. Shauna, and were able to complete the projects they started last month.
 Finally on Thursday, the mock trial "The Three Bears Verses Gold E. Locks" the class had been working on took place at the Tok District Courthouse. The students that had key roles did a great job, and in the end the jury found Gold E. Locks guilty of bad manners.  The event gave the class an opportunity to ask questions about real laws and sentences for breaking the law.
  
  
There will be regular homework this week, with the exemption of Thursday due to our field trip.

Have a great week, and kind regards!

 Weekly Greetings! Our first quarter is officially over, and I will be contacting you soon about Parent/Teacher conference times for November 10. With the short week last week, in addition to basketball and my absence for medical appointments the week before, Halloween preparations sort of crept up on me. We will have a class party on Tuesday after the Halloween parade, and I will provide nachos and popcorn. If you would like to join us, or send a treat in with your student, it would be most welcomed. The party will start after the costume parade. On Tuesday, students can bring costumes as long as it does not distract them from the normal morning routine of reading and math assignments. During class, any masks or distracting accessories will have to be put away.  The Halloween parade will be from 2:00 to 2:15pm. It will start with the lower grades, and pass from grade to grade adding all the grades through fifth to march the halls. Last week raced by with only three days, and we

Please see the yellow note attached to my weekly parent letter. Also, I am attaching a flyer I received over the weekend about celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss.  I did not hear about the event until I got the flyer, but if your child wants to participate they still can starting on Tuesday. Now for a recap of some highlights from last week. On Monday after discussing Presidents' Day, the students made George Washington Cherry Thumb Print

 Weekly Greetings! Wow, what a great week we had and less than two left to go! Before our field trip to go swimming, there were a number of special things that the class participated in last week. First on Monday, we were invited to the 1st Grade to watch each student's presentation on an animal they researched. Afterwards, there were some delicious snacks that symbolized each report in some way. Tuesday started with the Student of the Month assembly, and our very own Colten Bitz was honored as the April pick. I am sorry to say that the picture I took is too blurry to add in this posting. Then on Wednesday afternoon, the class watched the first half of the high school play presentation of "The Treasure of Shiver River." In between all the student activities, the Tok ASB and district office was pampering all the staff with daily reminders of appreciation for Teacher Appreciation week. To add to all that, one of the fourth grade students made my day on Wednesday with a sw
