These treats will be sent home so that parents can decide if their child can have them. Nothing will be consumed in class. Please let me know of any allergies your child may have. There are 27 students in our class. If your child brings something to pass out, they must bring enough for everyone. Please don’t label them, just sign their name. We will pass out cards/treats at the end of the day. Students my bring a Valentine’s box to collect cards/prizes in. If they don’t bring one, I will have a bag for them to use.
Parent’s, it’s that time again! I’m so excited to meet with you and discuss your child’s progress this year. Please click here and sign up for a time that works for you to meet! Thank you!
Students have been working very hard to be proficient in multiplication facts! We have a few kids that are still trying to master these skills. Please help them by practicing at home. To celebrate, we are going to be watching the movie for our winter party. The party will be on Friday, December 16. This movie is rated “G.” Please let me know if you would like your child to participate in another activity that day instead of watching the movie.
Students may wear clean pajamas to school that day. They can bring a small pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal to use during the show. Kids can snack on treats they brought from home (it can be healthy or sweet). They can bring a closable drink too.
NOTE: anything they bring may not be shared with other students. Remember we have a short day this day.
Besides watching the movie, we will have a gift exchange.Please send your child with a $3-$5 gift to share. They may also regift a gently used item/toy. Please bring the gift wrapped. I will gladly except any extra gift you can send for children that don’t bring on. I will not need any volunteers for this day. If you would like to be participate in the fun, you can sure stop by for a little bit.
Upcoming Rendezvous-We will be having our annual fourth-grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Thursday, Dec 15th. It will be held in the Q1 Gym from 2:00-3:00. This is a fun activity for all who come! ALL are welcome including smaller siblings. Guests will receive complimentary “pelts” at the door to spend too.
In the next month, we will be learning about economics and rendezvous as part of our Utah history lessons. This activity will help students gain a better understanding of basic economics as well as how mountain men and early pioneers made and sold products. This activity is part of our social studies curriculum. All students are encouraged to participate and will need to be present on the day of the activity.
To be ready for this event, students will need to make a product or plan a service to “sell” during the rendezvous. Some examples are (but not limited to):
We have had in the past: flower pens, play dough, slime, hand warmers, jewelry, and other simple crafts. You pick what you would like to bring BUT no food items will be allowed. Remember what you have learned about economics, make something that no one else has. That way, you can charge more for the product because you won’t have any competition. HIGH DEMAND=MORE SALES/PROFIT 😉 Your overall profit will reward you with bragging rights. We don’t use any “real” money. We will be using rendezvous “paper pelts.”
From now until the rendezvous, students will have the opportunity to earn “animal pelts.” This is our form of money/currency given out by 4th Grade Teachers to be used to buy things at the rendezvous from other students. You will turn in your paper pelts afterward. Whatever you choose to make should be homemade or a kit (Amazon has several-but order soon). Don’t stress about this project, you can paint/use markers to color rocks and call it good. Remember***you want to have a product kids want to buy in the end though*** Students should use materials that can be found around the house to make their product-don’t break the bank. Any cost involved in purchasing materials should be minimal. Students will need to make 30 items to sell. Please let the students make this product/service with minimal help from grown-ups. Rendezvous items are due Monday, Dec 12th. This will assure that students are ready to sell on Thursday and give time for me to help students price their product and make a poster in class. AGAIN, the product posters are being made in class. Lastly, please fill out this FORM to allow your student to participate.
Feel free to email me with any additional questions.
I’m so excited to meet with you and your child to talk about their progress in 4th grade!! Use the link to sign up for a time to meet with me. We have short days on October 26th and October 27th. Additionally, do not forget that students do not have school Friday, October 28th. If you can’t make either of these days or times, let me know I would like to find a time that works for you!

Our annual Halloween Parade will take place on Friday, October 31st. The parade will start at 9:00am, have your student come to school already dressed in their costume.
Our class party will be from 10:15 to 11:45. Please fill out the Halloween Form allowing your child to participate and if you would like to help volunteer.
In preparation for our 4th-grade field trip on Thursday, October 6th, there are a couple things we need to make sure everyone is aware of.
Students and the chosen class chaperones need to be on time (8:25 am) to school that morning. Chaperones, please pay your admission fee at Quest ($7). The bus will be loaded promptly at 8:45am. We will be traveling by bus to “This Is The Place Heritage Park” in Salt Lake City. Since the bus ride is about an hour long, students are allowed to bring a book or small cards to play with on the bus. NO ELECTRONICS — including cell phones will be permitted. Cell phones will not be allowed because they can’t be safely monitored by teachers. Please go over with your student proper bus behavior before that morning. We should arrive at “This Is The Place” around 9:50-10:00 am.
Students will still be required to wear their school uniforms on the field trip. Students will also need to bring a light jacket or hoodie with them as we will be at the base of the canyon and it tends to have chilly mornings. They may bring along a small water bottle as well. Each student will also need a backpack that day to hold their jackets, lunches, and water bottles. If they ordered school lunch they would receive it that morning to carry. If they are bringing home lunch, make sure to bring it (students will not share food).
We will be reloading buses at 1:00 pm and will arrive back at school at about 2:05 pm. Your students will be back in time for the normal after-school pick-up.
If you have not already taken care of the $5 student fee, please pay at the office or online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Chaparro field trip. Please pay this fee A.S.A.P.
We hope for a fun day with all of our students.
Thanks
The 4th-grade teachers
