Today was Career Day, and it was so great to hear so many questions and interest from the students!  Thank you to the parents that shared their careers with us today.
 
Recorders- Students NEED to be practicing the recorder at home and bringing it to school.  Just have them keep it in their backpacks please.  They will be playing these for the whole school at Christmas and if they don't bring it, they won't know how to play the songs.
French- interrogative sentences, informative texts
Science- rocks and minerals
Language Arts- We are finishing up Unit 3 with the strategy generalization and testing on Monday.   We tried a new writing program today called Utah Compose.  The students will be using this throughout the year to practice writing skills.  You can ask them what they thought of it.
Social Studies- Utah
Math- We are finishing up Topic 8 with a math test tomorrow (Friday).  Math is starting to get more challenging with many more steps to remember.  Please look at their math pages that go home to see how they are doing.   I have Topic 8 up on Pearson for review or practice (video, quiz, math book and worksheets).  We will start Topic 9 next week and I will have those lessons on Pearson also.
Homework- spelling, read 20 min./night, vocabulary, worksheet, Reflex math, recorders
Volunteers-each Tuesday and Thursday 8:20-9 and 1:30-2 to read with students and anytime on Fridays to grade/paperwork.
Bring in Food for the food drive- tomorrow is the last day!  The class with the most items wins a party.  The purple class is currently winning, but that can easily change still.  I will also collect box tops until the next incentive if you want to send them in occasionally.  Have a great week!
