Families, recently your child brought home a paper reminding you about our 5th Annual Gala event, taking place on Saturday, March 21st.  This is our big fundraising event for the year.  This is a great time to have a night out for a great cause, your children!  Money raised helps provide funds for your child’s school.  Ticket prices will go up after Parent Teacher Conference.

Reminder that Parent Teacher Conference sign up is currently posted.  If your child works with both myself and another teacher, please sign up at the same time on both schedules and we will all sit together for conferences.  Students are encouraged to attend this round of conference, it is a great way to discuss their accomplishments and create accountability.  Reminder that next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, are all early out days for conference.  School will be off  Friday the 13th and Monday the 16th.

Student will be able to bring Valentines to exchange on Thursday the 12th,  Any treats will need to be in sealed envelopes to enjoy after school.  Please know that Valentines exchange is completely optional.  For those who wish to participate, I will get a list of our class names to send home with the students in their folders for next Monday.

Home projects were fantastic for January!  Please get started soon on this months assignment.  We will soon be discussing rubrics as an evaluation tool for our home projects.

As always, questions, concerns, or celebrations, please email me.  Thank you, to those of you who have been supporting your students on their IXL, this weeks lessons are posted.  Also, thank you to our third grade families for supporting your child on Utah Compose.  I wish we had more computers to accomidate more time during class for these computer based assignments.  So please, remember to attend our Gala, this money helps to fund our technology and create more computers for our classrooms.

I look forward to visiting with you soon.
