County Fair

Wow! Our Utah Adventures did an amazing job at our county fair on November 20. The students displayed and presented the many things they have been learning about their county to parents, students and teachers. It was neat to see their faces glow with excitement as they showed off their hard work!

This last week, students have been presenting their reports to the class and have been doing a fabulous job. Way to go!

These are some pictures of our Utah Adventurers.

Reading Construction Workers

At our Friday book club, students finished creating a "setting shoe box" model for their book club books. They turned out amazing! It was neat to watch the creative "construction workers" at work. The students worked hard with their book club groups to create the setting in their imagination in a 3-D model. Way to go! Check out some pictures of the models below.

Thank you to our book club moms for making our first round of book clubs such a success! I have enjoyed watching the students discuss and learn about their books with you each week. I hope you will continue to take part in this learning adventure!

Dear Parents & Students,

 

Welcome to a new school year! It is so exciting to start a new school year with each of you. I am excited to be your 4^th grade teacher and am looking forward to a fun year. We are going to have some great learning adventures together!

I thought I would let you know a little bit about me. The most important thing to know about me is I love being a Butterfield Canyon Bobcat. I have taught 4^th grade at Butterfield Canyon for 3 years, and 6^th grade before that at Riverside Elementary. I believe 4^th grade is the BEST grade! I love teaching and working with kids. They are always teaching me something new. I know we will grow lots together this year.

            In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, gardening, running, playing sports (especially basketball), cooking, and traveling. My favorite treats are chocolate milk, Great Harvest Bread, and fruit smoothies. I love reading, especially children’s books. It is hard to choose one favorite book, but some of them are: Sister’s Grimm, Tale of Despereaux, Harry Potter, Fablehaven, and Princess Academy. 

In 4^th grade, we will be exploring many fiction and nonfiction books; writing creative and true stories; discovering new math tricks like multi-digit multiplication, long division, fractions, decimals, measurement, and geometry; traveling through Utah history with Native Americans, Spanish explorers, trappers, and pioneers; and investigating our state’s water resources, weather, rocks and minerals, soils, and environments. I can’t wait to start our learning journey! 

I am excited to meet all of you on the first day of school on July 28. Parents I look forward to meeting you at Back to School morning on July 27, 9 – 9:30 am.

 

See you soon!
