Hello,

I hope you have all have had a great weekend so far.

I sent home a pink paper on Thursday that has all the information about our upcoming field trip on it. Here is the paper in case you need it: Cover letter. You all signed the permission slip when I sent home the one for the winter Nature Center field trip. If you have not, I sent another one home and I will email you a reminder.

We will be going to Children’s Discovery Gateway Museum on Wednesday, April 26. We will take the Frontrunner to and from. Please have your child at the station on Wall no later than 8:10 a.m. that morning. Our train will leave at 8:37 and we need time to get the wrist bands on all the children. We will arrive at the museum by 9:40 and attend a simple machines workshop from 10 – 10:30. We will then be able to explore the museum until it is time to leave at 1:45; our train will leave at 2:01. Lunch will be eaten at a Gateway food court which is a short walk from the museum. We will arrive back at the Wall Station in Ogden at 2:52 p.m. Please arrange for your child to be picked up there. We love when parents/grandparents come. Please let me know if you will be joining us if you have not already. If you would prefer not to be a chaperone and have a small group of 2 or 3 children, please let me know that as well. It is free for adults to go to the museum. Any siblings that come will be $4. I have a small amount of wristbands for the Frontrunner for chaperones. I will give these out on a first come basis. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Our home project this month will be a mini science fair. It will be very simple and basic science presentations. I will have a rubric and more detailed instructions later this week. Level 3s will not be expected to participate since they already did this with Ms. Kaley for studio. However, if a level 3 did not participate, they will be expected to present to the class.

Level 3 parents:
We will be doing our first round of SAGE testing this Wednesday, the 19, in the morning. It will be our writing test. We have been practicing with Utah Compose and lessons in class. I feel that being on the computers more and doing writing on them will help with the level of stress some of the students might feel. It is not timed so if the students need more time they can have it. Please make sure they bring a water bottle. They can also bring a pillow to sit on if desired. We will be doing our math SAGE test on the morning of Thursday, May 4. Our language arts one will be the morning of Monday, May 15. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
