We held our student elections today.

Two of our sixth grade students, Mayla and Bella, ran for student body office and gave speeches in front of the entire upper elementary class.  They both did really well, and are now waiting with baited breath for the results of the election.

On Friday, we will hold class elections for our class representative.  The class representative is responsible for attending weekly student council meetings and reporting important information back to the class.  All sixth grade students, except those who serve on the student council, are eligible to run for our class representative.  Any interested student will need to declare their intent to run and prepare a speech that will be given in class on Friday, September 12.

Level five students have a science writing assignment due Tuesday, September 9.  During class, we discussed the assignment in detail and they were given a handout with the expectations and information needed.   If you have any questions about this assignment, don’t hesitate to email me for clarification.

If you need another copy of the handout it can be found on the PDF page at the top of the blog.

I have created a new permanent page that will host the various PDFs, templates, and forms that are used in the classroom.  This resource will allow you to download, and print at home, and item that may become lost between school and home.    It will not contain morning math or language worksheets, however.   Some examples of documents you will find here are science worksheets, book report forms and field trip forms.

I know that students sometimes misplace their work and I wanted to provide a way for you to print additional copies at home.  I hope you find this resource helpful.

Below is a message from Ms. Anna, our athletic director.

Hello Parents,

This email is a reminder about your students up-coming meets and expectations for them. Parents are responsible for transporting to and from the meets and any carpooling communication should be between each other, the school and the coaches cannot facilitate any rides and are not responsible for transportation.  The coaches have asked that students arrive at the meet locations at 3:45 to allow for proper warm-up time and so students can become familiar with the track they are running. Girls will run at 4:30 sharp and boys races start at 5:00. The expectation is that the boys and girls stay for each other’s races to support and cheer each other on.  If for some reason your student needs to be late or leave early please let the coaches know and make arrangements with them. (coaches have been CC’d on this email)

Runners from MMA need to wear black shorts, a plain, white t-shirt, and running shoes (please no Converse, Cleats, or anything other than a running shoe!) . Runner bibs will be provided by the school.

Meets will be held on Tuesdays only.

Sept. 9: @ Legacy Prep. Academy (2214 S 1250 W Woods Cross UT)

Sept. 16: @ North Davis Prep.  (1765 W Hill Field Rd, Layton, UT 84041)

Sept. 23: @ MMA (TBD)

Sept. 30: @ Legacy Prep.

Regions, Oct. 7: North Davis Prep.

State, Oct. 14: TBD

We will need parent support when we host our meet for taking runner times, helping with water, and any other odds and ends. We don’t have a location yet, but if you know you will be available to volunteer that day please let us know!

Thanks for all you do!

We begin our first session of studio next Friday, September 12th.  The kids are super excited to begin their art, music and health classes.

At 2:30 today we have our first studio assembly.  At this assembly, your students will hear about the choices available to them.  They will be bringing home a flyer with information about each one of their choices.  Attached to the info will be a colored sign up sheet.  Please look at this with them as they fill it out.  They need to rank their choices in order of interest for EACH “session”.  There should be a first, second, third and in one instance fourth choice in each “session”.  Please ensure their first, last and teacher name (mine, of course) is listed in all three areas.

I know it is short notice, but we are beginning the process of forming classes on Friday. This is a time consuming process; therefore, the due date for the forms is tomorrow, Thursday, September 3rd.    I apologize for the short notice.

~Cheers
