Announcements: We have a few field trips coming up in the spring we wanted to give you a heads-up about. We are going to the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper on Friday, March 24th and the Clarke Planetarium in Salt Lake City on Friday, April 12th. These will both be Front Runner field trips. More info will be posted this week.  Please make sure you’ve turned in permission slips and paid the donations at the front office.  Thanks!

The students will use this sort to practice the indicated patterns. Quest has asked us to have the students type their spelling word sort each night, but I would like to keep homework quick and simple. Just have your children sort the words. They do not need to type or write the sort.
