2/19 Spelling List and HW Note

I hope everyone had a wonderful President's Day weekend! It's always nice to have a Monday off.

This week there isn't a new spelling list. We are doing Unit 4: Week 4 from last week as a post test
today and then using that extra time this week to finish up our book club books, projects, and
presentations.

We finished up Chapter 8 last week in math and are starting up Chapter 9 today. It is more algebra :)

We will work on linear equations.

Don't forget to have your students work on Moby Max Math www.mobymax.com/ut1124 at home as well
as Lexia if they haven't completed all the levels yet, and utahcompose.com for writing practice.
Students should also be reading 30 minutes daily for homework.

Our Science Fair Winners (Timothy, Dallin, Sadie, and Lincoln) will be presenting at the District
Science Fair on Wednesday, February 20th at Pleasant Grove High School! Good luck to them! We
are so proud of them.

Next week's list is here though for you if you want to start studying: Unit 4: Week 5 will actually be

1/28-2/1 Spelling List and Homework Note

Hello!

The science fair is THIS FRIDAY! The students will set up their poster displays after lunch is cleaned up in the afternoon. I'm not exactly sure yet what time they will be judged and the school will walk through. Everything must be completed and turned in by Thursday January 31st! If you haven't purchased a trifold poster yet they are at the dollar store, Walmart, Target, etc. Their experiments should be done!

I'm excited to see how they all turn out! Let's have a great week!

Halloween Week!

Dear Parents and Students,

Happy Halloween Week! On Wednesday, students should come dressed in their costumes.
The parade will start at 9 am with the cute Kindergarteners. Parents should watch from the gym.
Students are allowed to stay in their costumes the rest of the day as long as they aren’t distracting to
learning and the students can sit down, write, and see properly. We will have our party with the whole 6th grade in the gym from 2-3 pm. This week for spelling we will study some spooky words :). In reading we
will work on inferencing and in writing we will finish up and share our scary stories. In math we will

10/1 Homework Note and Spelling Words

10/1/2018

Dear Parents and Students,

Happy October! Don’t forget about the Halloween Carnival tonight from 4-7 pm!
Last week’s field trip to the UVU Women’s’ Volleyball game was a blast. This week we will be going on a
field trip to the Clark Planetarium on Friday. If your student is bringing home lunch, please send it in a
brown paper sack with their name written on it neatly so we can dispose of it while we’re out.
Due to limited bus space and funds, we can’t invite any parents on this field trip. However if you’d like to
pay for yourself and drive yourself you are welcome to meet us there and tag along. This will be such a
great extension to all we’ve been learning about in science the last several weeks. Next week on Wednesday
and Thursday, the 10th and 11th I get to meet with you about your student’s progress and goals at
parent-teacher conferences. We will be finishing up our fraction unit in math this week with dividing fractions.
In their math reflections, please help think of ways what we learn in math applies to real life problems and
solutions.Happy 7th week of school!

Professor Malouf
