Happy Halloween!

This past week we learned different ways we can show division. The students did very well and are understanding division a lot better. These strategies will also help your child be able to divide with two digit divisors.

Next week:

Monday-Halloween There will be a school halloween parade at 8:15 a.m. After that we will be presenting our Halloween poems to the fifth grade. Your child may come in their costume in the morning, but we ask it it's a full Halloween costume- they change back into their clothes at noon.

Thursday-Science and Spelling tests

Friday-Honor Day We will be taking those students who have turned in all their assignments to see the Chinese acrobats at the Ellen Eccles Center.

THANKS FOR COMING TO CONFERENCES!!

Parents,
I enjoyed getting to know you at conferences. Your help and support is so important in your child's education. Here are some of the main goals that were set.

1. Organize binder and desk.
2. Read 30 minutes every night.
3. Fill out homework log every day and have a parent sign.
4. Improve comprehension strategies by using strategies on the back of homework log or other strategies we have learned in class.

Also, I told the students they will get a treat if they play some of the math games on the blog by Monday. There is the Ia.usu on the Math Tab and some to the right of this home page. (If they have ***** that means a student has recommended the game.) Which game is your favorite?Let me know on Monday.

P.S. I've been playing with the games on this page and have made a few comments by them. They are a lot of fun!! I had to download Timez Attack on my computer. WOW! It is amazing! I hope we can get it in the computer lab.

Thanks again,
Mrs. Farmer
