{ Welcome to Tucker Beach }

What a way to end the week! We have had an awesome week! Looking forward to next week! Look for a letter about your students reading level…it was stapled into their planner today! Have a GrEaT weekend!! Mrs. Tucker

We are on a roll! Students are engaged and working toward completion of projects! This is one amazing group of kiddos! I told them that this morning, and of course they agreed!   LoVe It!!   Third and Fourth Grade Homework Practice words for spelling test tomorrow and read for twenty minutes or more and record on their yellow reading log! Have a fabulous evening! Mrs. Tucker

Third Grade: Math: Write an organized list for $0.25 and an amount of your choice. {example: $0.10 10 pennies, 0 nickels, 0 dimes, 5 pennies, 1 nickel, 0 dimes, 0 pennies, 2 nickels, 0 dimes, 0 pennies, 0 nickels, 1 dime.} Social Studies: Home Address, City, Zip Read for at least 20 minutes and record on the yellow reading log.

Each student received their list today and all they need to do is cut them out, sort them, and then place them in a baggie to be brought back tomorrow. Usually I will have them cut them out and baggie them before they leave, but time got the better of us today. Their homework will look a bit different with their Words…some of it will be math related, others will invilve writing, or finding synonyms. thanks! Mrs. Tucker

Tonight for both Third and Fourth Graders, homework consists of working on Brainiac projects, and making sure they have at least one address of someone they can send their Flat Stanley to. We will be mailing them out by Friday of this week. Upcoming events: September 27 : We are participating in a project with Thanksgiving Point called Tulips North! We will be planting tulip bulbs around the school on this day and would love any parent help! October 4: Our first field trip! We will be going to the This Is The Place Monument and participating in activities there. Parent volunteers are welcome and more information will be forthcoming. Thank you for all you do! Mrs. Tucker  

We are ready for a new week and the adventures that are ahead of us! Third and Fourth Grade homework We are going to be starting a project that goes along with the book “Flat Stanley” , that will incorporate writing, math, social studies, and reading! Students have been asked to bring in the names and addresses of at least two friends or family members that live outside of Utah that they can write to and will participate in our project. We will begin writing the letter tomorrow and mail them out by the end of the week.

We are almost there!

Welcome back from a wonderful Labor Day break!

I will be updating the blog everyday with homework assignments and needed bits of information. Normally I send out an email of information, but this year I will be utilizing the blog more.

So….here we go!

Third Graders: Homework for this evening is as follows: Find four number patterns and record them. Select one of the patterns and write a story problem incorporating the pattern into it. Bring in a chapter book to have on hand. Read for twenty minutes. Practice math facts.

Thank you parents for all you do!

Mrs. Tucker

What a wonderful week! We are almost done with all of the testing and can now get down to business! Thank you to those who emailed me with a little note. This was so I could easily set up my email group for parents. I plan on sending out an email on a daily basis with the homework for the evening. This week I introduced the Brainiac! projects. The handout is at the top of the blog and will open as a Word document. This is a research project that will be completed on a monthly basis, with each month being a certain number of words. Students are to pick a topic that they want to learn more about and research it and then they can present their findings in almost any way they want. Their creativity and curiosity are the only limitations. Remember…there is no school on Monday. Have a great Labor Day! Mrs. Tucker
