Parents,

We are working hard to be ready for our Utah Program Thursday, February 6. As part of our Utah History Curriculum, each child will research a county in Utah. Your child has selected a Utah county to research and create a collage of information for their county. They have started their research at school but will need assistance for their project. At home, please find pictures that represent their county to show in collage form. We will send posters home Monday, January 27. Be creative-there is not one right way to create their poster. Think drawings, printing, stencil, color and fun!  Please return finished by Monday, February 3, as we will be compiling all of our counties to create a collage of the state of Utah! Thank you for your support! We are looking forward to sharing all the things we have learned about Utah!

Valentine’s Day

The stores have Valentine’s cards for sale, if you are ready to buy those now here is some information to know: If you fill out THIS PERMISSION FORM your child can have and pass out candy on this day. Our class has 27 students in it. Have them only sign their card with their name. Do not address the card/prize to specific kids. We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Feb 14 from 11:20 until lunch. We will be having a card exchange and playing with prizes that were handed out to them. The kids can bring a decorated box/bag on the morning of Feb 14. They will need those totally decorated at home. If you would like to not participate in created a box/bag, I will have a simple bag for them to bring their cards/prized home in. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks

Just as a heads up, we will be starting to benchmark for the upcoming RISE test. We will be doing a 3-4 a month between now and the RISE test. This allows the kids to be more confident and ready to test at end of year. Thank you for your support in this and reiterating the importance of always doing their best.

It will be short days on both days so I can hold conferences starting around 200pm.
