Please remember we have a field trip to the planetarium on Friday, April 14. I need your permission slip turned in and money paid by this Thursday. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Next week is spring break so there is NO School. When we return, we will be ready to start practicing for our class play. If at all possible, have your child watch The Wizard of Oz during the break to prepare them for our class play. They will understand the humor and figurative language better if they have seen the movie. Our play aligns with Utah Core Curriculum standards and is a great way to end the school year. I will assign parts this week which I hope will give you enough time to prepare a costume for your child. Costumes should be simple. You do not need to spend a lot of money for a costume. I will be more than happy to give ideas of what students have done in the past if needed.
Thank you in advance!!

READING
Reading and applying the literary skills we learn in class is imperative in becoming better readers. With this in mind, I still require every child to read 20 minutes every night. After reading, please have your child respond to the questions on the homework document in google classroom. To do this, you will go to classroom.google.com. Their login is their first name.lastname@qackids.org. Their password is their computer password followed by rams. (Your child knows this password because they use it everyday). Remember to fill out the library Google Doc on the home page (You’ve been amazing at this!) and record how many minutes you read for the week. Please make sure your child clicks the TURN IN tab on the top right hand corner at the end of the week so they get credit for their work. Please continue to read every night for at least 20 minutes. I will also be asking for volunteers 3 times a week to give a book talk on what they’ve been reading.
If you are having trouble typing your child’s questions in the document, feel free to have them write out the answers to the questions on a piece of paper and turn it in on Friday. GOOGLE CLASSROOM DOES NOT WORK WELL IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
