- Moon Journals are off to a great start...I would like to take this opportunity to state that: The kiddos are only required to complete a minimum of 3 entry logs per week. I would like them to observe the sky every night, but they will turn in their Moon Journals for review on Mondays. That was unclear in my last blog post and to the students when I was explaining the project to them. Sorry for the confusion!
- Our class been selected for a lunch menu tasting/feedback program from the school district and I sent home permission slips and information about their allergies, diets, and preferences. We will (this Monday and Tuesday) sample potential lunch items that the district may add next year. This seems to be a really fun opportunity. Our facilitator also mentioned that the kids should come prepared with their own lunches (or hot lunch as normal) for those days in the event dates or things change last minute.
- We started PenPal letters last week and I am really impressed so far!!!
- There is a field trip this friday...we will be going to Herring Auditorium to see the Intergalactic Nemesis. Please send in your kiddos with $7 for the performance and transportation. Thanks so much!
Read-a-thon
We will in fact have a read-a-thon fundraiser this quarter...more details at parent-teacher conferences.
Parent-teacher conferences by the way...Mrs. Lisa Corbett in the office has the master schedule. The "time slots," are currently the same as the fall conferences, so if you would like to make a change, please call her at 907.479.4234 x222. I will send home notices and time confirmations with the kiddos soon. Thanks and I look forward to seeing each and every one of you! This is a student-led conference, so please check and see if your student will be able to be present as well.

Walk to a local lake - to be determined - with our first grade buddy class. Parent volunteers needed for the morning please!
If you are interested in volunteering on a field trip, you must be cleared with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District...see me for a packet. If you would like to simply help out in class or volunteer, just let me know, and we can arrange it so!
It's a good life!
