This Friday is the last day of the second term.  All work must be turned in by Friday.  There is not a book report due for December.  

Monday, January 6, is a teacher work day.  I will be calculating grades on that day.  School resumes on Tuesday, January 7.

No homework this week!

What We’re Learning This Week

This week in language arts we’ll be finishing up Amplify Unit C readings on chocolate.  Our writing assignments this week we be a book review for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

In math we’ll be doing some review activities and taking the midyear diagnostic on iReady.

This week in science students will create stop-motion videos about the water cycle.

And in social studies, we will continue to learn about five world religions: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

Ballet Field Trip

Our field trip to see The Nutcracker is Tuesday.  We ask that students wear "best dress" to the ballet.  They are welcome to bring a change of clothes for the afternoon.  We will return around lunchtime.  

Cookie Concert

Then on Thursdaye will be traveling by bus to Millcreek Junior High for the band/orchestra "Christmas Cookie Concert" for sixth grade students,  We will be gone from about 9:00-10:15.  

Holiday Party

We will be watching The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movie and having a class breakfast on Friday, December 20.  If you would like to donate food for our party, please see the sign-up genius link in the email. Students may wear pajamas and bring a blanket and pillow.

Junior High Registration

I can't believe it's almost that time of year!  You can put these dates on your calendar.

Mueller Park Junior High:  We will be taking studetns on a field trip to MPJH on January 28 from 9:30-10:30.  They will be given registration packets at that time.

Millcreek Junior High:  The counselor will be coming to Bountiful to present information on January 28 from 9:30-10:30.  Registration night will be Tuesday, February 6, at MJH.

I know it can be a little overwhelming (especially if your sixth grader is your first junior high student!).  We will be having parent-teacher conferences right after the counselor visit/field trip, so I will be able to answer your questions at our conference.
