Dear Parents and Students,
We have been falling into some great learning adventures this week. Each of the students have brought back a magnetic energy to learn. Their excitement and enthusiasm is contagious! I am proud of their hard work and determination to succeed in their own ways.
Watch out Sherlock Homes, our students have been super sleuths this week in their new mystery reading books. Many students have a hard time putting their books down, which is exciting to see. Some of the books students are reading are: The Westing Game; The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt; The Ghost, the White House, and Me; The Witches; A to Z Mysteries: The Deadly Dungeon. Looking for clues and evidence to solve their mysteries, we will continue to learn about mystery vocabulary words and predictions.
Using their detective skills, students have been investigating rocks and minerals. We discovered how rocks are each made differently, creating different crystal structures by sorting and talking about how pasta is made differently. Using Mohl's scale and magnifying glasses, students discovered the name of many everyday minerals. They were surprised to learn how many things and ways we use rocks and minerals everyday!
This week we will continue our learning adventures. Our curriculum goals for the week are:
Reading: Mysteries and Predictions
Spelling: Long/Short Vowels & Accented Syllables
Writing: Ideas Trait of Writing
Math: Division & Multiplication
Science: Rocks & Minerals
Social Studies: Utah State Symbols
During the week, students will be involved in a variety of Red Ribbon Week activities to celebrate living a life "Drug Free." Look for a note on Monday outlining the activities for the week, including dress up days, assemblies, and other activities.
It is also important to note your calendars for Friday Halloween celebration. The parade will begin at 9:30. Our class Halloween party will be after lunch at 12:45. Please contact our learning links representative, Didi Weaver if you would like to help in any way. I look forward to see everyone dressed up!
Thank you for sharing your children with me each day. I love teaching and learning from them. They are brilliant!
