Hello Families,
Remember there will be no school Monday, February 17th, for President’s Day. We have two exciting announcements with two accompanying permission forms!
First, we are looking forward to an awesome field trip to the Natural History Museum of Utah on Wednesday, March 5th. Please be sure to review all of the information and sign the permission slip here for your child as soon as possible. We are also asking for parent volunteers to help chaperone this field trip (as indicated on the permission slip). Space is limited, so we will draw names from a lottery and notify you if you are selected. We ask that you complete the form by this coming Wednesday, February 19th. Please note, we are asking for a donation of $5 per student and $10 per chaperone (if selected in the lottery) for this field trip.
Next, our class has worked incredibly hard to pass off over 200 iReady lessons in just 3 weeks (wow!) to earn their chosen reward of a class electronics party on Friday, February 28th. Please review the permission slip here for that party with your child. Thank you for your support with these two fun events! Please let me know if you have any questions.
When we return to school Tuesday, we will be working on adding and subtracting decimals and fractions with unlike denominators in story problems. Finding a common denominator and carrying out these equations can be tricky and I’m proud of the hard work our class has done and will keep doing together! In ELA, we will consider the question, “How can scientific knowledge change over time?” as we work on identifying a main idea and key details in a text. For science, we will begin learning about the cycling of matter, focusing on producers and consumers within food chains. It will be a great week of learning!
At home, please remember those magical 20 minutes of reading every day at home to continue to build their brain! Also, if we discussed additional practice or make-up work for math, please have your child aim for 20 minutes/day! Thank you for your support.
Thank you,
Mrs. Shaw
