It is very important to have your child to school on time. Every teaching moment is important. When your child is late to school they miss out on the information or explanations given then they are lost not knowing what to do. It is hard to catch a child up to speed when they arrive late due to reading/spelling groups that involve me working with small groups of students. Thank you for your help regarding this situation!

REQUESTING: Each student to bring a family picture measuring 3 1/8 X 3 1/8 for a Christmas project we are working on.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We will be pressing on hard until the Christmas break and our off-track time. Please encourage your child to be on time for school and ready to give their all.

Thanks,

Even though it is not a full week of school we are still working hard. On Wednesday we will have our first "Dragon Slayer" ceremony. The students who have earned this recognition so far received and invite for their parents to attend. This ceremony will take place Wednesday, November 24th, at 11:30 am in the gym. I am hoping all of the students in the class will work hard to achieve the "Dragon Slayer". Ask your child where they are at on the multiplication test facts to see how close they are getting to this award.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

Thanks for your help and support you are to your child. I can not do my job without you!

Sorry this later this afternoon in the posting BUT the server at school will not allow me to do the blog so I just learned I will need to always do it from home. Animal reports are due Tuesday, November 23, 2010. This will need to be put on my desk as the children arrive at school that day. If your child is going to be gone next week due to Thanksgiving they will need to turn their animal report in before leaving for the break.

I am finding most of the students are having their math papers signed BUT not checked. Please check you child's math paper so you can see where they are headed and where they may need more help. I am trying hard to help all of them learn the starting of double digit multiplication and division which they were to learn some of  while in 3rd grade. Ask you child where they are on their multiplication facts. By now they should have passed off through the 12's and started working on the division ones. If they re not there yet please play the game "Ogre" with them or get some flash cards to help.

The first Dragon Slayer will be Wednesday, November 24. If your child is being knighted you will receive and invitation for that by Friday so you will be able to make plans.

Thank you for helping your child become successful in school because without you it is not possible to make everything happen for your child!

Welcome to a new Monday. As you will notice most of the week goes on the same as last week with the exception of Social Studies. We are beginning to work on our animal reports. Each student choose which Utah animal they wanted to due from the list I showed them. Every student has a different animal to do research on. We are working hard in class. Some of the work will be done in the computer lab. The poster the students will be making will be done in the lab which will help them to learn how to do their poster for the Wax Museum which is later on in the school year. Please ask your child how you can help them regarding this report.

Thanks to all of the parents who came for conferences and took an interest in your child's learning.

Each week you will see this board displaying the work we do in class. If it is not completed it needs to be taken home and returned the next day completed. You will notice on the math each day it shows the parent needs to check and sign the math paper. This is due to the situation of the students not completing the work correctly since they just wanted to play "Ogre". I am trying to help each student become more responsible for their work. This should also help you, as parents, to discuss the work with your child and to read their planner.
