Just a few things you should know:

• Yesterday the kids were to have checked out a "Battle Of The Books" book to start reading. If your child didn't return books, this will have to wait until next week. Some kids cannot read on that high of a level, so parents are allowed to read it WITH them. Then in the 3rd week in October the students will do a book report on it.

• If you haven't yet signed an electronic permission for safe schools and acceptable computer use, your child has a hard copy in his/her backpack to sign. We want to get the kids on the Chrome Books.

• Remember school pictures this Friday. All children will have a photo taken for the class picture unless a written note is sent in.

• Friday is our walking field trip to SUU so return those permission slips.

 • We'll see you at parent teacher conferences next week :)

September 18th

Dear families,

Your child is bringing home another progress report. Please look it over and sign that you have seen it. When your child returns it, s/he earns 5 points.

Attached also is the Parent Teacher Conference schedule for September 28, 29 and 30. The children who have siblings are already scheduled as a convenience to you. All others haven't been scheduled yet. I try to give you a chance to sign up for a time that is convenient for you and your time schedule. Please sign up for a first and second choice. I will write your child's name in the slot that you choose. It is on a first come, first served basis.

Have a great weekend!

Dear families,

FYI:

1. Bash and Splash is Saturday at 6:30 at the Aquatic Center if you want to go. Tickets are on sale early here at the school if you want to get them now.

2. Monday the 14th will be the school-wide health screening, dental screening, vision screening.

3. Friday the 18th will be the 4th grade Canyon Park field trip to let the kids see up close and personal the land forms we are learning about in class.

4. A mother pointed out that the August reading calendar hadn't been recalculated for the required reading minutes, so I am changing the home reading time required to be 70 points possible. Those children who earned the 100 points will just have bonus points. Sorry for any heartache this caused.

Curriculum:

Math: I've noticed that the students who still don't have their addition and subtraction facts memorized are really floundering. Please help them memorize these facts through 20 quickly. Then we'll worry about the multiplication tables. We work on those facts constantly in class.

Have a great week!
Carolyn
