Off Track

Yes, in just a couple of more days we go off track. The students are very excited for this to happen. I, on the other hand, is having a hard time believing it is time. It seems like the school year just started!

The students need to keep their reading going. They have been given their Weekly Reading Log sheets for the three weeks they will be off. We have been on track for ten weeks. On Wednesday, October 24th, the students will turn in their Read Across Utah books. By this time they need to have read ten books and filled out the correct counties to match up with the book genre. This grade goes on the report card for independent reading. Both the Weekly Reading Logs and Read Across Utah make up this grade. Please help your student to be on the right track.

I hope you have some great times while being off track. I have some great plans for my some of my time but I do have a few things to get ready for when we come back on track.

Have fun and get ready to work hard when class begins Monday, October 22.

Animal Reports

Your child choose which Utah animal they wanted to do their Animal Report on yesterday during class. They need to bring information about their animal to class. We will be doing the different parts together for this report. Daily there will be something new to add to their report so it is very important they come prepared everyday. If you have not heard about this report yet PLEASE ask your child to see the packet I have put together.

Remember we will be working on this report in class. In fact, most of the work is done in class as long as your child is in class daily. If they are not they will have homework to catch up. Also, if they do not come to class prepared they will need to do homework to catch up to where we are each day.

The animal report is due September 19th. Then your child will present to class their animal and give an oral report to us. Both parts of this report have grades, the report itself and the oral part.

Please help your child to be successful with this first report since there will be others during the school year.
