Over The Break…
Hi Parents! Just a few things going on while we’re off track to fill you in on…
1) Literacy Night- Feb. 4th 6:30-8:00 in the gym. Brandon Mull will be there signing autographs. It’s a lot of fun! Hope you can come.
2) January reading calendars are due when we come back. I sent home February ones today.
3) We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Friday the 19th. There is a contest for decorating their Valenting box- its optional (for fun) not required. Also, they are welcome to bring treats for classmates, I just ask that they bring one for everyone or none at all, so no one gets left out. I sent home a list of our class today.
See you when we get back! Enjoy your break
Recorders
Students need to bring their recorders and music books to school on Thursday!
Things to know this week!
Parents! We have a busy couple of days ahead of us. Here’s what you need to know:
*Wed: We are having our class party that they earned. They can dress up if they like (i.e. if they’re in a martial arts class and want to wear their belt, they can). We are doing an Asian party. There will be origami, food, games- lots of fun!
Also, film club will be meeting
*Thurs: Spelling and Vocab. test & Rendezvous
*** Their Native American/Mountain Man project is due
* Fri: Track off and Auction!
Have a great week!
Recorders and Math
This is important for Wednesday! Our recorders have finally arrived. If your child has their own recorder and/or music book they need to bring them tomorrow. We will be using their recorders ut to the last week of school. They will need to bring it every day that they have music.
Also, I made an error on their math from last week’s homework! I graded them incorrectly, so they did much better than I had thought. I appologize! I am correcting them tonight, so they won’t be bringing them home to fix, but they will be in their Friday folder.

The survey is due tomorrow!
Also- Tuesday I am going to send home their homework from last week. No one did too well on it. I am going to suggest that they fix it, so I can change and raise their scores!

Spelling and Vocab.
Parents- I forgot to send the students home with their spelling words and we ended up short on copies of the vocab., so I have listed them all here for you- just click to see more! They just need to know which group they’re in. I will have them all for them here on Monday.
Mind Over Matter
The state of Utah does this survey/ assignment every year with the students. The students are asked to listen to the CD. Parents, we need those purple surveys from you next Tuesday! Thanks for all you do!
Other Assignments
There is no spelling or vocab. this week. New words will come home on Friday.
Also, I sent home a Native American/ Mountain Man project for them to work on over the next few weeks. Be sure to ask your students about it. The date on the hand out is wrong, though. It is due Jan. 21!
Homework
Mathbox homework this week is a packet of worksheets. They are to do one page a day. The packet is due on Friday. They really need to practice these problems. We are running behind. This is the last week I have to help them with two digit multiplication. Please work with your children and help them with the concept! I have many students not doing their mathbox homework and it is really hurting them in class. Thanks for your support.
