April 14   Field Trip to the Planetarium

FIELD TRIP AND PLAY
Remember, the field trip this week is to the Planetarium in Salt Lake.  We will meet at the Sandridge Frontrunner station in Roy at 8:15. We will return to the station at 2:45 so please remember to pick up your student before you pick up any siblings at Quest.  Your child will not need ANY money for this field trip and we have asked our volunteer adults to not purchase anything at the planetarium.  The food court is undergoing a renovation, so please do not plan to purchase your lunch there. 

We are exactly 1 month away from May 10th It’s time to start thinking about costumes and props for the play.  Remember, we will have a day performance at 1:45, as well as an evening performance at 5:00.    Your child knows his or her part and you may work in conjunction with other characters in their scene if you wish.  This play is about fairy tale characters and the costumes do not need to be anything super fancy.  If you need help with  costume ideas, please come talk to me. 

Opinion Writing
We are practicing opinion writing in preparation for our upcoming end of year testing.  Please ask your student to present their opinion to you on anything you can think of.  They need to give you a hook, with their reasons and evidence for each reason.

Donations
We are in need of #9 and #7 lead for our mechanical pencils.  Thank you advance for helping us out.

HOMEWORK

Reading
There are nightly homework assignments up in Google Classroom.  Don’t forget that you need to read for 20 minutes every night.  That is the most important part of the homework!

Math
Prodigy is set to review everything that we have taught this year.  If you spend 15 minutes every night doing the problems, you will have all concept reviewed by the end of the month.

Spelling
This week, we are studying Latin Root Words.  We will be talking about how the root of the word can help us with spelling as well as definition.  The roots we are looking at are:   vac (empty), dict (say), audi (hear), mand (order), man (hand) and port (carry)  The spelling test will be on Thursday due to the field trip on Friday.
