Week 13

 Weekly Greetings!

It was great to see so many of you at parent/teacher conferences last Monday! If you were not able to attend, I hope you have received your child's report card in the mail by now. We started the week off with a visit from Lorraine Titus, who has committed to coming one day a week to teach culture and language to the class. The students really caught on quickly and are looking forward to her visit again this week on Tuesday.

It was a pleasure to see how the community honors the local veteran at the dinner last Wednesday night, and how seriously so many students participated in the patriotic event. I have included a few pictures I snapped of the opening.

my last letter, we ended our Science unit on soils by investigation mystery mixtures of the three soils we studied. The groups looked back at the properties of humus, clay, and sand to decide what was in each mystery mixture.

Please note that I will be gone the first two days of this week to Fairbanks, but the class will be in good hands with my regular aides. On Wednesday this week, we will have our one hour later start to school for this month so that all the staff can meet and discuss school issues. Also, at 2:30pm that same day there will be an awards ceremony for the first quarter. In addition, if you want to order books for your child this month please return the forms and money to me by Friday.

Have an awesome week!

Kind Regards,

Julie Brown
