Hello Everyone! Welcome to a new week. Spirit Week is always crazy, with the crazy hair, book character costumes, PJ day, etc. I'll be very glad to have kids that are in khakis and polo shirts, who haven't just consumed Halloween candy for breakfast! I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Room Moms: Mrs. Dansie, Mrs. Chaffin, and Mrs. Peterson for planning a fun Fall Festival Class party. I would also like to thank volunteers: Mrs. Singer, and Mrs. Simar for assisting us.
This week, we are going to be studying more about the 3 Regions of Utah, and will culminate the week with our salt dough maps of Utah on Friday. Here's what I need from each student: an 8x10 piece of strong cardboard to build the regions map, and some homemade salt dough (recipe here) . Please have these items at the school by Thursday. We will be using the salt dough to create a topographical map of Utah on Friday, and then adding paint on Monday. In language arts we will be learning about Luke Howard, a British chemist who was fascinated by cloud patterns and later named all of the clouds as we know them today. We will be practicing cause and effect, as well as action and linking verbs. The students will start study soil and fossils with Mrs. Groendyke, and math will see us multiplying with two digit numbers and eventually using the distributive property and using regrouping in multiplication. I think it'll be a fantastic week. Please keep up the 20 minutes of language arts homework (Lexia, Spelling City, personal reading) each day after school, and the 15 minutes of math homework (Aleks, Reflex, homework pages). If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to Dojo me or email.
