Mrs. Anson's 4th Grade Class

Grades are now available to view online. We will not be sending home paper copies, so feel free to call the front office if you are not familiar with the steps for checking grades online.

Here is some information about the end of the school year. I will edit this post if anything changes, so feel free to check back to this post over the next 2 weeks.

*We will be having an end of year 4th grade talent show. It is very informal, and we are letting kids have 2 minutes to do a talent if they want.  They have already signed up for this.

ALSO: Students wanted to link to “Six Minute Podcast” (and other kid-friendly podcasts). Here is the link.

YES!

The 4th grade just got permission to go on a last-minute field trip! We are going to go visit the Utah State Capitol Building on Monday, May 20th. We will tour the facility and see several exhibits that will reinforce what we have learned this year in Utah History. We are especially excited to see the Transcontinental Railroad display. Before returning to the school, we will cross the street and view several pioneer artifacts inside The Daughters of the Pioneers Museum.

What you need to know:
-Please pay the $5 field trip fee to the front office.
-We will be taking a school bus.
-We will be leaving the school at 8:30 sharp! (Don’t be late that day, or you will miss the bus!)
-We will be returning to the school at 2:30. 
–Students MUST wear a school uniform.
-Bring a sack lunch that doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
-Bring a light jacket and a small pack to carry your lunch and water bottle in.
–No electronics. We WILL enforce this rule on the bus.
-A small camera can be brought, but NOT a cell phone camera. (The school is not responsible for any damage/theft.)
-We have room for a few parent volunteers, so contact me if you would like to come.

HERE is the PERMISSION FORM

Just a reminder…Please look at the post before this about our best dress on Thursday this week.

The end of the year is SO MUCH FUN! 🙂

The fourth grade gets to have a free dress on Thursday because we will be performing “Utah, This is the Place” for the school in an assembly. Please have your student wear their best dress (uniforms are OK) on Thursday!

Also, book reports are next week. They are optional, so not everyone is doing one. Here is the schedule:

Mon, May 20th: Noah and Aaron, Charlee and Leiona, Aubree, Jessica
Tues, May 21st: Zoey, Adalai, Bryton
Wed, May 22nd: Eli and WIll, Kaylee (KK), Kairi and Andrew

POQA has the opportunity to get Prodigy for any parents who are interested in upgrading their student’s free account to the paid version an annual rate of $12 per student account. The normal rate is approximately $9 per month or $60 per year so this is a significant (80%) discount. In order to receive this rate, a minimum of 30 parents must be willing to purchase the upgrade at the discounted rate ($12 for 12 months).

Here are some dates to remember if you would like to mark you calendars!
Summer will be here in no time!

The entire fourth grade will be traveling to Thanksgiving Point to tour the Museum of Ancient Life on Tuesday, April 30th. Here is what you need to know!

-Please pay $7.00 per student to the front office before April 24th. Fill out the permission slip before April 22. Here is the link.

-Please wear shoes made for walking. (We walk about a mile to get to the museum from the station.) 

-Don’t forget to pack a lunch and bring a water bottle. We do not have microwaves or a fridge. (Four students ordered school sack lunch, and they know who they are.)

-No electronics are allowed on this field trip. Students may bring a book or cards for the train ride if they want.

-Do not plan on going to the gift shop, and please DO NOT send money with your student for the gift shop. 

-Meet at the Roy FrontRunner station on 4000 South between 8:00 and 8:20, and NO LATER THAN 8:20. 

-Meet NO LATER than 3:05 to pick up from the same station. 

-We have 5 free tickets for parent chaperones to attend. As a chaperone you will be in charge of 5 students all day, so please don’t take these spots unless you are willing to do this. If I get more than 5 volunteers I will choose by drawing. Chaperones PLEASE do not buy things for students in the gift shop.

-All parents are invited to come, but no siblings are allowed. You will have to buy a ticket to the museum and FrontRunner (if you are not one of the 4 chaperones). Adults are $20, Seniors are $15. You will pay your admission when you arrive at the venue, not at the school office. You are welcome to buy a FrontRunner pass and travel with us or drive separately. Please arrive at the museum before 10:00. Parents PLEASE do not buy things for students in the gift shop. It has caused a lot of problems on past visits.

Any other questions, just email me! 🙂
