Weekly Greetings,
Important news for this week is that we will be taking a field trip to Tok on Wednesday. That is also the day that we start school 1 hour later, so we will leave when the class is done with breakfast. To tie into the careers focus started Mrs. Lundy, we will be going to 40-Mile Air to hear about what a career as a pilot is like. The students will also get to go for a short flight if they have the approval box filed in by a parent on the permission slip. Please make sure your child is on time for school that day. Also, please return any book orders to me by Friday if you would like to buy books for your child.
The students have really been excited about the butterflies in our Science unit. Not only have they been able to observe the stages of change, but also the specific parts of the Painted Lady butterflies.
On Wednesday, Ranger Stephen Rudolph from the Tetlin Refuge was at school to give Duck Stamp awards and prizes to those in our class that participated. Quinten, DeMarcus, Noah, and Evan received honorable mentions. Jasmine, Kayann, and Terrence received 3rd places ribbons, and Brandi won a 2nd place ribbon. The pictures to follow are of the class with their certificates and displaying their artwork.
Ranger Rudolph also shared with the class about different animal tracks and what the tracks can tell us.
He also brought some of the furs that go with the animals he discussed.
The school wide reward program has been a big success this year. Many of the students in our class have been saving for some of the big items in the store. Terrence just saved enough for a new bike! Just in time for summer fun!
In art this week, the class made colorful butterflies for spring decorations. The wings allow light to shine through the colored tissue paper, and the lovely butterflies are displayed in the class windows.
There will be more interesting things to share next week from our field trip. Enjoy your week!
Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
