It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

Hello Parents~

As we are finishing the year, we have many exciting things going on. We are reading some classic Christmas books as well as some silly favorites! Ask your student which ones they like better as why. We are looking forward to our Christmas Choral Concert on Thursday December 22nd at 1:30pm. Parents are invited and our kids are practicing their songs to be ready to sing! We thank everyone who has donated food for the Utah Food Bank as well as fleece for our blanket service project. We really appreciate all of your support!

We are working hard to finish this year strong in math. The students just complete a unit on graphing, and did really well. We will be reviewing geometry for this last week of the school year, to make sure they have a strong foundation for what comes next. Try and take a few minutes practicing your times tables over the Christmas break - amaze your family members with your speed and accuracy!

Our unit on the American Revolution is also coming to a close and we have learned a lot about working together and standing up together for something that is right. As we move into our US Government unit, have your students spend some time watching the news and paying attention to the leaders of our country. We will be learning how our government works starting in January.

We will also start our Science rotations in January. Our students will start with a unit on heredity, which is always a lot of fun!

We hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday!

Mrs. Berven and Mrs. Thomas
