Dear Parents and Students,
I just want to say a special thank you for all the sweet emails, encouragement, and support with this surprising change in life. Thank you!
Each day is magical with your students. I love teaching and learning with them each day. When the time comes, I will be sad to leave them. I appreciate how much they have taught me in the short time we have been together.
I love their creative insights and determination. This week students were amazed and little "grossed out" to discover the adaptations plants and animals have to live in a desert. We explored the way a cactus has small pores, waxy surface, and wide spread roots to capture and hold the greatest amount of water. Together we even dissected an Aloe Vera cactus plant. Their eyes were surprised to see the green goop inside. :)
Throughout the week we will continue to discover Utah's spectacular environments. Students will explore forests in science and language arts activities. I hope you will make conversation and connections with students about the exciting world around them.
This week our 4th grade core curriculum include the following goals:
Reading: Questioning
Spelling: Patterns
Writing: Writing process
