Dear Parents and Students,
Monday: Super Hero Dress-up Day
Tip a Teacher @ Chili's
Tuesday: Crazy Hat, Hair &/or Socks Dress-up Day
| Dinner @ Chick-Fil-A Wednesday: School Colors Dress-up Day Dinner @ Wendy's Thursday: Bobcat or Team Jersey Dress-up Day Pizza Social after the Walk-a-Thon To add to BCE Spirit Week, the 4th grade has a field trip on Wednesday to see the Utah Symphony at Hillcrest High School. All students in Jordan School District will be participating in this annual event. It is a neat opportunity for students to attend a symphony performance. Due to the nature of the event, students are asked to dress in their "best dress." I always enjoy seeing the students dressed up. What fun! This past week we continued to explore story elements, specifically plot conflict. There are 4 main types of conflicts in stories including, human vs. human, human vs. self, human vs. society, and human vs. nature. It was neat to create connections of types of plots to story titles. Your students are great connectors!! As part of our plot conflict lesson, students learned about the central theme of good vs. evil, whether inside or outside. We discussed how a character's actions and choices, not their abilities, shape who they are. It was neat to see the students explore how this central theme is true to everyday life. Stories and books are great teachers of life's important lessons! I am excited to continue our exploration of story elements. I hope you will take time to travel a new adventure with your students as they read with you. |
Our curriculum goals for the week include:
Reading: Story Elements - Plot and Conflict
Spelling: Long/Short Vowels & Accented Syllables
Writing: Animal Investigation
Math: Multiplication
Science: Classification
Social Studies: Utah Regions & Landforms
Thank you for all your support with emails, phone calls, donations, and notes. I appreciate the opportunity to teach your students. They are truly amazing!
Mrs. Yates
