Dear Parents and Students,
The magic of learning was sparked in our class this week. I am so proud of all the students' hard work, determination, and excitement to celebrate their learning. It is hard to believe this year together in 4th grade is drawing to an end. I am so grateful for the chance to have been part of their growth this year. My students are sprinkles of pixie dust in my life.
To provide students with the maximum amount of time to prepare for their upcoming wax museum report, there will not be spelling or vocabulary homework this week. Students are also encouraged to practice their math facts this week to achieve the Brilliant Bobcat Requirement.
Students will need to bring “proof” – notes, outline, rough drafts – of what they have been working on Monday or Tuesday, May 16th – 17th. This will show they have earned to go on the Alfen Ski Museum field trip on May 18th. If students have not begun their report, they will be given time this day to work on their report at school so that they can best be prepared for the wax museum on May 27th.
On Wednesday, May 18th, we will be off on a "Magic School Bus" adventure of our own to the Alfen Ski Museum in Park City Utah. On our field trip, students will be participate in an interactive learning activities that are aligned with the Fourth Grade Utah Core Curriculum. The program themes include:
■Science and Technology - how they affect a ski jumper
■Weather and Water - what the weather cycles mean to Utah
■Skiing Comes to Utah - from miners sliding on shovels to hosting the Olympic Winter Games of 2002
■From Silver Ore to White Gold - the economic effect of skiing and winter sports on the region's economy

I love learning and growing with your students each day. Each day I look forward to their sweet smiles, giggles, and hugs! It is hard to believe they are almost on their way to another year. I wish they could stay, but so glad I was able to teach them this year. Thank you for all your support through emails, phone calls, donations, and bright smiles.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Yates
