Let's Wash Our Hands!


What a fast week! Time is just flying by! This week we learned about rotational symmetry and shapes and angles. We made snowflakes in September to show how they have turning symmetry. We are still studying about weather. We learned how to be safe in Utah's extreme weather conditions. We had our pictures taken on Thursday. Friday we had another fire drill. We discussed the importance of washing hands. Washing hands often and the right way. Please encourage your child to do the same at home.
Here is a link to the video we watched in class.
Please encourage your child to return their homework packet and the Blue Note Folder each Friday.

I would like to thank the PTO for all they do for our school and class. I really appreciate the time and effort they give in our behalf. THANKS, PTO!!!

Last Week

Last week we finished up our Haiku Poem project and they are hanging out in the hallway. The students all did a great job. In math we were working with 5-digit numbers and we will review and have our test this week We are learning to edit mistakes in a paragraph and learn the correct marks for editing. We started our weather unit. We learned about cirrus, cumulus and stratus clouds. We keep a weather data log each day at school. We continue to work on our line dancing for the festival and we are getting good at the dance!
