Good afternoon, parents and students. We had some beautiful moments of work this past week and I am so very proud of our class for being as normalized as it is, considering we are still searching for the perfect fit assistants for our classroom. They have some things to improve upon (restoration of the environment and volume); however, I can see things coming together overall.
Second conferences occurred for some students this past week; please ask your student for a green or pink slip to determine how well they are using their time. The green means they completed their chosen and assigned goals; pink means they have some items to catch up on and need to get them done, as well as better plan their time in the upcoming weeks. Conferences are an important part of the child and teacher both being held accountable to the learning process. It helps bring to light the need for personal engagement.
This past week, fourth years attended a weather assembly and fifth years attended a assembly on energy. Please ask them about it. They appeared to enjoy the assemblies! Also, a reminder that fourth years have a field trip coming this Thursday to the American Heritage Center in Logan, a wonderful introduction to Utah and US Expansion History.
In class cultural studies this week, students investigating erosion by rain, ice, sea coast, and more. We also discussed weather, its causes, dynamic phenomena, and measurement tools. In addition, novel studies also began this past week for some. It’s exciting to figure out how our world works and what patterns exist both in our language and numbers.
Please peruse the donations page; we are in need of yarn, sewing, knitting and crocheting supplies. Also, donations towards novel purchases are welcome.
Parent-Teacher Conference Sign-ups are ready!
Thank you for all you do to aid your child in their education! Remember to have them help you add up the bill for groceries or read the signs to go to a new fun place. No effort is wasted!
