I just want to THANK each of you for your outstanding support with our "Mountain Man" Rendezvous!
It was a great success and the students loved it! We will be moving into our "Pioneer" families as we start our "Utah Pioneer" unit.  Your child will be bringing home a paper asking about your first family ties to Utah.  Every year, I find out I'm related to one or more of you! We have already started learning about "Rocks and Minerals" as we finish up our "Weather" unit.  We will attend Bard's Bash and The Long Island Piano Concert on Thursday.  Next week, we will start testing. I hope everyone has a great week!

Tomorrow we will be having our Mountain Man Renezvous.
We will do a bunch of Mountain Man Math activities. Students will be able to spend their Mountain Man Bear Bucks (Tickets).  I am asking that each child that would like to, may
bring treasures that they would like to trade or sell. Students may make items or gather 
unused items of their own to trade or sale. Items could include, but are not limited to: Baked goods, arts and crafts,
Kids Meal Toys, slightly used toys or games etc. Thank you for your GREAT SUPPORT! This will be a very fun, rewarding activity to wind up our Mountain Men unit.

Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!
We are fast approaching the end of level tests.
We will begin testing next week.  Please make sure that your child is at school, well rested, and having had a nutritious breakfast.  We will test on computers, at designated times and days, by a testing proctor.  If your child is not going to be in attendance during this time, please let me know well in advance, so that I can reschedule their testing times and days. We are having difficulty with improper fractions, mixed numerals, and comparing fractions.  I will send home extra practice for your child to do as homework. Please give them the individual time needed to ensure that your child understands the concepts.  Thank you for all that you do! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Everyone! 
I hope you had a very Happy Easter!
We will start testing in Science,  L.A.

Please make sure that your child is at school.
Students are tested on computers, at a designated time and day, by a testing proctor.  If you are going to be out of town, please let me know well in advance, so that I can reschedule your child's testing time and day. Also, please make sure that your child is well rested, having had a nutritious breakfast each morning.  We are having a difficult time with improper fractions,  mixed numerals, and comparing fractions. I will be sending home extra work to help students practice these concepts. Thank you for your GREAT SUPPORT!  YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
