Weekly Greetings,
Last week it was pretty quiet around the school after the other classes left on Tuesday. In addition, there were a number of students from our class out of school for a variety of reasons.
This week while the
older students are away, our class
will be taking a few field trips to tie into a brief “Community Helpers” unit.
I hope you all received the information and permission slip that was delivered on Thursday. The kindergarteners will have a little longer day for the days we will travel out of Tetlin, and we will call when back at the school each day before sending them home.
The three day schedule is as follows:
Tuesday
April 23:
Leave 8:30
am from Tetlin School for the US/Canadian border. Students will get to tour the
border station and learn what people need to do to enter or leave another
country. We will have a bag lunch picnic and return to school in the afternoon.
Wednesday
April 24:
Leave 8:30
am from Tetlin School for tour of the Post Office and how mail is processed.
Then to US Fish and Wildlife office to learn about how they protect and manage
wildlife in our area. The final stop will be at the Magistrates office to
understand how the court system works. We will be participating in a mock trial
of the Big Bad Wolf vs. the Three Little Pigs. Again, the students will have a picnic bag lunch.
Thursday
April 25:
Leave 8:30
am from Tetlin School to go to the Tok clinic for a tour of the emergency services provided to the community. Then we will drive to 40 Mile Air to see the air ambulance used for medivacs. We will have a pizza lunch at Fast Eddy's before going to the Tok School for music class. Having a music class at the Tok School will allow the students to explore musical instruments, like a drum set, that are too large to transport to Tetlin.
During the week, I will continue to send homework home nightly but there will not be any spelling list this week.
Enjoy your week!
