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
for Thursday the 28th and Friday, March 1st :). Happy studying!
