Parents,
Thank you for your responses to the field trip on January 28th. On that Wednesday we will have our normal schedule with the early and late readers. At the arrival of the students at 9:05 AM we will begin name tagging, gathering lunches and organizing groups. The buses need to be on the road and moving at 9:30. As we will be bunched on the buses we are asking all parents beyond the three that volunteered first, to be prepared to drive or carpool to the Aquarium. All parents that are assigned to groups need to be background checked through the office secretaries by Friday, January 23, 2015 (assuring all background checks are completed before the event).
In the classroom we are beginning the study of Fractions in math. They have completed division and multiplication strategies and are now ready to broaden their math understandings. In Science, we are being the study of Weather. In writing we are beginning to understand opinion writing. A new post on Utah Compose concerning Summer Homework will be their next venture in writing ( aside from the Wolf composition being done in class as a beginning essay for opinion writing).
Spelling this week is just 4 items on the contract sheet. We started on Tuesday and will be testing still on Monday.
Thank you for your pushing the reading hours at home. The books for rewards are purchased and students are collecting those now. Remember 75 hours of at home reading is rewarded with a book of their choice. Every 25 hours beyond that they will have another choice.
Running, walking, jogging miles for the Shark Challenge are being collected ongoing. I know they are doing this, but very few miles are being reported for recording.
As ever, thank you for your support. Looking forward to meeting with you in two weeks at Parent/ Teacher Conferences, February 4th-5th.
Sincerely,
Mr. Greene
