Notes for the Week!!!!

Hi, 

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend! Here is everything you ned to know for this week! 

1. Your 5 generations were amazing! They have been graded and will be returned tomorrow! Make sure you are working on your essay! The expectation is at least one page, preferably typed. If you need time to type it at school, feel free to stay after for tutoring! The final essay will be due on January 30th! I would be happy to do any editing you need help with this week! 

2. Test scores are posted on Aspire (SIS) if you are curious how your child is progressing! The class average in math in 7.2 so I am pretty excited by the progress. The reading average is only 6.7 😉 so we will be working on comprehension and vocabulary in the coming weeks! GOOD WORK KIDDOS!!!!  I will be setting up SEP conferences this week, so if you would like to meet let me know so I can schedule you a time! 

3. The Department of Natural Resources is sponsoring a POSTER contest for fourth grade students! Students should complete a poster on the theme WATER: Wild and Wonderful! Posters are due by February 15th. No time will be provided in class, but students are encouraged to participate! For more info visit the site: http://www.watereducation.utah.gov/postercontest/default.htm

4. We will have TWO special presentations this week, both on WEDNESDAY!!! The first will be Staker Parsons presentation on rocks. The second will be a special Time for Kids LIVE webinar from Antarctica! We will be switching classrooms with Mrs. Shipman so that her class can enjoy the Staker Parsons presentation in the afternoon. So look for us in her room that afternoon. I am excited for the students to get to participate in both these presentations!!!
