Week 36

Weekly Greetings!

I hope you all enjoyed the extra day with your child while we had teacher in-servicing last Friday! This week, I would like to remind you that we will have a field trip to Deadman Lake on Tuesday and your child will be outside all day. Please make sure they are dressed warmly, as it can still be chilly out when there is a breeze. Kay Lynn Olde-Moore from the Telin Refuge will be visiting our classroom on Monday to prepare for the field trip the next day.

On Wednesday for Earth Day, we also had Sharron Emry in to do a special project with the class. Most of the students took their paper green house home to set in the window, but a few students wanted to leave some in the classroom window.

Our field trip Thursday was very fun and interesting. We met a number of people working for the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge and how they serve our community.

There were even familiar faces from Northway working there. It was great for the class to see their dedication to the land and culture.

One of the biologists also used one of the students as and example of to show important traits of birds.

The class then got to meet the refuge manager and were sworn in as Junior Refuge managers, to help respect and protect the land.

After lunch at Fast Eddy's, we went o 40-Mile Air Service to see how aviation plays a role in servicing our community.

With the early release that day, we made it back just in time to catch the bus so I did not sent home any "Go for the Good" cards . All the students we well behaved and even got a complement at Fast Eddy's for being so mannerly!

There will be more pictures next week of our day at Deadman Lake. Have a wonderful week!

Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
