This week is busy busy busy!

We are wrapping up cookie dough orders by this Wednesday! So sell, sell, sell to earn money for the school.

Our 1st field trip is this week. Thursday Sept 26th. We are going to American West Heritage Center in Cache Valley.

A bus will take us to the park from Quest at the beginning of school and return to Quest that afternoon. The suggested donation was $5 per student to cover all expenses for this field trip. Paying suggested donation fees is a big part of 4th-grade continuing our efforts to have and attend field trips throughout the school year. Generous donations are greatly appreciated for students who are unable to pay.
Also, we will be taking 6 chaperones to attend with each class. Chaperones have been chosen and will need to ride the bus with us and have a group of students they are in charge of throughout the entire field trip. The chosen chaperones will need to pay the Quest office a $8 field trip fee. For any adults coming along please make sure to bring a lunch for yourself as well. There is not places to purchase lunch. Chaperones need to be at the school no later than 830am to board the bus with us.

If you are an adult that is choosing to drive up and meet us as an extra adult please let me know before the day of, so we can watch for you. Please be sure to pay your admission of $5 to the front office beforehand. We should arrive on the bus to meet you by 930-945am.

Please also remind your students that they are not to bring electronics on the bus. If they have their phone, it will need to stay in their backpack during the bus ride and field trip. 
They can bring little games or cards to play or coloring items as long as it does not make a mess on the bus. 
Any questions please feel free to reach out.

Please Note: Younger siblings are not allowed on the field trip since we will be taking the bus and do not have room for them to ride the bus with us.

Learning this WEEK:

COOKIE DOUGH FUNDRAISER-Watch this video about the cookie dough fundraiser! Students can start selling on Monday, September 16th; they’ll need everything turned in at the office on Wednesday, September 25th. Angelee and Dr. Dave will be passing out Spooky Speedster prizes on Tuesdays and Thursdays before school starts in front of the library. All other prizes will be shipped to the school AFTER the fundraiser is over.

If you havent signed the field trip form please do so by Sept 17th. I will be selecting my 6 chaperones on 9/16 and will let those individuals know by email.

Math Lessons – We are working on addition. Mostly stacking in place value correctly and regrouping.

ELA is still the same from last week.

Science is still the same from last week.

Here is what we are working on this week.

On 9/11 we will also be briefly talking about Patriot Day and what happened and why we honor this day. It will be geared to children, so we will just touch briefly on 9/11 events and talk more and focus more on the heroes of that day instead. If you have concerns please let me know before Wednesday. Thanks

READING passages were sent home last week. Just a reminder that fluency is how fast we read per minute. The goal is to increase our fluency while making sure that the words we read are correct. I will be sending home these passages weekly and can be part of their 20-minute daily reading. Please support their reading and encourage them to try to beat their time with their fluency. They just need to record how fast they can read it correctly not necessarily in one minute. There are also spelling words attached they can practice spelling in any creative way they would like, as well as comprehension questions they can fill out on Thursday night. They should bring these papers signed and returned back to me each Friday. Students will be rewarded for papers brought back by Friday.

TUTORING will be starting this week. Students recently learned how to take their first comp check to prove proficiency last week. I will be starting tutoring by invitation this week. You will receive an email if your student could benefit from attending on Thurs afternoon.

Also please dont forget to fill out the yearly permission treat form and to sign your child up for the field trip coming up in 3 weeks.

Please consider donations if you are in a position where you can. Paying suggested donation fees is a big part of 4th-grade continuing our efforts to have and attend more hands-on learning field trips throughout the school year. Your Generous donations are greatly appreciated to help out students who are unable to pay. Please pay your funds to the office or online so we can get a good count. This also applies to classroom supply donations. I have to stock and restock my classroom on my own all year and this helps tremendously to offset costs. 

Here are the links again.

Students will be learning how to take their first comp check to prove proficiency this week. So check in with them as the week progresses on how they are doing. I will be starting tutoring next week Sept 9th on Tues mornings and Thurs afternoons. Those students that need some more help on Lesson 1 will be invited to attend either or both of those sessions. I will email you if they are in need of this extra help.

I am attaching a yearly treat and movie form to be filled out by you that will cover the entire year of events. Please fill out this form as quickly as possible so that your child can participate in all the upcoming fun activities.
