Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back Bobcats! I hope you had a wonderful off-track filled with autumn activities: pumpkin hunting, corn mazes, raking leaves, and more. It is exciting to capture the fall leaf changes each day. I am looking forward to seeing you soon at school. I can't wait to explore our world with you! I have missed your glowing faces and bright smiles.
Spooky thrills and mysteries seem to capture our attention this time of year. In reading we are going to read and study the mystery genre. Mysteries are some of my favorite books to read because of the anticipation of the unexpected. Just when you think you have solved the mystery, you find you are wrong. I know you will become great detectives of your books!
Another exciting adventure we are about to begin is investigating Utah's rocks and minerals. Utah is famous for its variety of spectacular rock formations, including arches, spindles, mountain cliffs, canyons, and limestone with fossil treasures. We are going to learn about the many types of rocks and minerals found in Utah and are important resources.
As we return to school on Monday, I am looking to do a science experiment with pasta. I am hoping some of you would be willing to contribute to our experiment by bringing a box of pasta of all shapes and sizes, except long and skinny. Please email me if you are willing to help in our science exploration. Thank you for your support!!
Our curriculum goals for the week include:
Reading: Mystery Genre
Spelling: Long/Short Vowels & Accented Syllables
Writing: Traits of Writing - Ideas
Math: Factors, Multiplication, Division
Science: Rocks & Minerals
Social Studies: Utah State Symbols
I love learning and growing with your students each day. Thank you for all your support through emails, phone calls, donations, and bright smiles.
Mrs. Yates
