Dear Parents/Guardians,

This week there will be math homework on Tuesday and Wednesday. The language arts packet this week looks different, but still needs to be completed by Friday.

Wednesday the students will take a test on the water cycle and start the language arts test. Friday, they will finish the language arts test and take a math unit test.

The 4th grade level stores will operate on Thursday instead of having a Halloween party. Please talk with your child about setting up a store if he or she would like to. Your child will earn class money and pay class money for the items sold. The store applications are on October 30th (Wednesday) so I can plan for the right amount of space.

We would like to have students bring their costumes to school on Thursday. They can change into them at about 1:30. The school parade starts at 2:00 around the track. After that we will have our 4th grade store.

I will postpone the treasure hunt for chapter books until next week. So if your child is finishing a book, please keep track of it to write the report next week.

Thank you for bringing your children to school to learn and to grow.

Melissa Nielsen

I hope you had a great long weekend!

Please remind your student to keep reading. The kids are doing better on their math facts, but have them keep practicing!

Today I sent home a blue flyer explaining our 4th Grade Student Stores. The kids will each get to operate their own store on October 31st and will learn about supply, demand, profit, taxes, advertising, and more. Please refer to the flyer for complete information.

Also on Halloween day, the students can {bring} their costumes and change into them after lunch. We will have a school parade that day.

We are in great need of pencil top erasers and would love to receive some donations, if possible.

Thanks for all you do!

Have a great week,
Melissa Nielsen

  Our field trip was fun last week.  The kids learned a lot and were well-behaved.  I was proud to be their teacher.
  Since this week is short, the only homework expected from your kids will be to read 20-30 minutes each night and practice their times tables.  (Check their backpacks for practice fortune tellers)  There will be no spelling test or Fun Friday this week.
  Read a chapter book to participate in our monthly treasure hunt.
Coral Canyon Elementary Preschool has 3 openings in our 3rd session which runs 1:15-3:15 P.M.  If you are interested, please call our secretary, Dawn, for more information.  The school's phone number is (435) 652-4787.
  Your children are making lots of progress.  Thanks for your support at home.

Hello Parents,

I'm sure some of you have heard from your kids that Mrs. Nielsen has been out for a couple of days. She and her family are attending the funeral of a nephew, and she will be back at school tomorrow (Wednesday). We have our field trip to Staheli Farm tomorrow. We will be studying plants and soil. Please make sure you turn in permission slips by tomorrow morning if you haven't already. The bus leaves at 10:45am and the students will be back at 1:45pm. Don't forget to send your student with a sack lunch if you didn't elect for the school sack lunch.

Just a reminder -- please check your child's backpack nightly for school notices and to encourage your student to complete his/her homework. Together we can achieve great success!

Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Reveal (Amy's mom)
