Hello Everyone,

If you haven’t done so yet, please be sure to review all of the information and sign the permission slip here as soon as possible for your child to attend our field trip next Wednesday, March 5th, to the Natural History Museum of Utah. If you indicated your interest in serving as a chaperone for this field trip, we will notify you if you are selected in the next couple of days. 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. That donation may be paid to the front office. Thank you for your support!

Also, our class reward of an electronics party will be this Friday, February 28th. Again, if you haven’t done so yet, please review the permission slip here for that party with your child and sign as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions!

This week in math we will be reviewing all fraction operations–adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, and taking RISE benchmark tests for these standards in preparation for end of year testing. This is hard work, and any extra time that can be spent practicing these skills at home for 20 minutes per day is greatly appreciated! In ELA, we will continue to work on identifying a main idea and key details in a text and evaluating text structure as we study the progression of scientific knowledge over time. In science, we will learn about what plants eat and the importance of the Sun for food webs on Earth.

As always, please encourage your student to read for 20 minutes at home!

Thank you,

Mrs. Shaw
