New student teacher

Hello families!

I just found out last night that we will be getting  a student teacher in our classroom beginning on Monday morning!  Her name is Mallory Rutter and she is a student at BYU.  We will have her in our room until mid-April.  I have not met with her yet, but have talked to her over the phone and I know she is excited to be a part of our classroom!  I have asked her to write an introduction letter to parents that I will be e-mailing out next week. 

On Monday, our January reading calendars are due.  Many of the students want to earn a "Roaring Reader" pass, but they must complete their 400 minutes of reading for homework before they can add additional minutes for the Roaring Springs pass.  (An additional 600 minutes are needed for the pass by March 14.) 

The 2nd trimester is quickly coming to an end.  We are finishing up our preposition unit in language and space unit for science this next week and then will go back to history in the afternoons to finish up the 3 final weeks of the trimester.

I have updated the volunteer calendar. Check it out! If you would like to be added to the list, or need to change your time, just e-mail me to let me know!

Finally, we have a Valentine's Day party coming up on Friday, Feb. 14th.  It will be from 2:45-3:45p.m.  We will be watching a movie, reading our Valentine cards, and eating during that time.  I will send out a sign-up e-mail next week to help with the food.  We will be making our valentine bags in class the week of Valentine's Day.  I sent home a class list on bright RED paper if students would like to bring in any valentines cards for the class.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Spenner
