Jog-a-thon
Just a reminder! This Thursday is the Jog-a-thon! Your children must have the permission slip signed and turned in on the 24th or they cannot participate! Even if they don’t raise any funds, they can still run- if they have permission! If they don’t want to run, that’s fine. Depending on how many sign up to run, those who don’t turn in slips will either watch and cheer on their classmates or continue their regular class assignments while others run out on the field.
Symphony Field Trip
Parents- we had an awesome field trip to the Utah Symphony this week! Check out the new pictures posted from our trip!
Multiplication! Multiplication!
Hey parents! Just a reminder- The most important thing that your child can learn over the next few months is their multiplication tables! It is important that they know them by December. We will get into long division and two or three digit multiplication in January! If they don’t know their facts, they will really struggle! We practice daily in class, but helping at home is certainaly going to be very helpful to their success this year! Thanks for all you do!
Spelling, vocab., and homework
Hi Parents! Hope you had a good weekend! I am a little concerned about spelling, vocab., and homework! I am not getting the math box papers turned in like I should be. I am missing at least half of the classes from last Friday! Please help your children do these assignments and turn in the work to me. It is important that they get their practice in every night. Also, I am noticing that a lot of students are not studying their spelling words! SEP night (conferences) are only a month away! I am concerned about what their grades will be if more of the students don’t start doing better on these tests!
Fundraiser Reminder
Just a reminder! Keep working on those fundraiser packets. if they turn in the yellow/ red form by tomorrow they get a treat! Thanks for you support!

Field Trip!
Parents! We are having our annual trip to visit the Utah Symphony next Tues (Sept. 15)! We ask students to dress nicely. We are unable to bring chaperones on this trip due to limited space on the bus. There is a permission slip coming home tonight. It is due by next Mon. at the latest!
Film Club
This month our movie is ” Sand Lot”. We will meet on the 23rd to discuss it during lunch. I recommend looking at the public library or netflix to find some of these films. Places like Blockbuster and Hollywood only have some of them.
Math Test!
The class has a test on place value on Thursday. As I am looking over their work, I am noticing that they are struggling with where the hundreths and tenths place is. They also should review rounding to the nearest whole number- when rounding decimals. Also, understanding that the word “and” means a decimal!
Jog-a-thon!
We are working on this years fundraiser! Please support us! It is how we pay for field trips, holiday treats, etc. We are asking students to go out and get $10 in donations. We are not selling anything this year, just donating and running. Each student will join us on our run on Sept. 24th. It is during school, but I don’t know what our time will be. I will let you all know when I do. We are going to try to run 2 mi. Each student who gets ten dollars or more will get a free t-shirt! There’s an permission slip and envelope coming home. Please keep them until the week of the 24th!
