Families, last week your student should have come home with a permission slip for the maturation presentation please make sure that paper gets back to me this week. In the event that your student’s paper did not make it home, I have attached the slip below. Please be aware that parents are encouraged to attend with their students. The maturation presentation will be on March 18th. Girls will meet at 8:40 in the gym and boys will be at 9:45. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Families, please remember to sign the permission slip for the field trip on March 16 to Thanksgiving Point and let me know if you are available to volunteer.

Parents/guardians,

The fifth grade is scheduled to go on a field trip to Thanksgiving Point on Wednesday, March 16th. We will be gone for the entire school day. Students will need to bring a sack lunch from home. If you have already paid the $30 donation earlier in the school year, this field trip was included in that. If not, we are asking for a donation of $3 per student and a required $6 per chaperone. Per Thanksgiving Point’s policy, siblings are not allowed. The donation is optional. However, if we do not have enough money donated, we will be unable to go to the Junction at the end of the year. For this field trip, we will be taking the Frontrunner from the Roy station to the Lehi station. Students need to be at the Roy station by 8:00am to leave on the 8:16am train. They will need to be picked up at the Roy station at 2:45 pm from the 2:46 train. Thanksgiving Point requires that we have an adult chaperone for every four students. We are hopeful that we will have plenty of parent volunteers to chaperone for this field trip. If we do not, we will be unable to go. Please complete the form to indicate if your child will be attending the field trip and whether or not you are able to volunteer.

Please complete the below permission slip:

It’s so hard to believe we are already into the 3rd quarter! We certainly do not slow down, but please let me know if your student expresses feeling overwhelmed. I hope each of my students feels that they could always come to me to express their concerns but in the event they don’t please do not hesitate to reach out to me. This week in Math we are starting on multiplication by a fraction (lesson 19), the PDF below shows an activity you can do with your student to assist at home with their understanding of multiplying fractions. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

We have had a number of students absent over the past few weeks and it certainly is expected that you would keep your students home if they are not feeling well, but please let me know if they will be out more than a day.

Also as a reminder, Fridays are assessment days if your student is not sick please make sure they are at school. Because of our busy schedule, those that miss assessments on Fridays have to make up those assessments throughout the next week. The occasionally missed Friday can be easily made up but those that miss Fridays on a regular basis can fall behind very quickly, and I absolutely hate to see them that overwhelmed.

What we are in need of: Lysol/Clorox wipes, fine tip black expo markers, hand sanitizer

As I am trying to make every effort to keep our classroom smelling like the inside of a Lysol wipes container (and that clean as well), we are running low on Lysol wipes so if you have the opportunity to pick some up for the classroom it would be greatly appreciated.

We can always use hand sanitizer, the large containers that I can refill the small containers with are great but I certainly am not picky!

Expo markers are the “missing sock” of a classroom! We don’t know where they go but we hope they are happy. We are in need of fine tip black dry erase expo markers 🙂

Again thank you for your continued support!

Families,
Below is the link to signup for parent-teacher conferences (2-3 Feb). 

If you require a Zoom meeting instead of an in-person meeting please let me know.

Also, mark your calendar February 4th (Friday) is a teacher workday and your student does not have school. Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to meeting with you.
