Colorado weather….From 70 degrees on one day to snow the next…Please remind your fourth graders to wear proper outerwear, especially on cold days. They will go outside for recess when the weather is at least 20 degrees and there’s no blowing snow or rain. Additionally, with students bringing in extra clothing for colder weather, please make sure everything is labeled. Students will only be allowed on the blacktop when snow is present, but if they have boots (or additionally a snow suit, gloves, etc.), they will be allowed on the field and the rest of the playground. If they bring boots to school, they will need an extra pair of shoes, because boots are not dress code.

Language Arts- We are working on Unit 6 in our Treasures curriculum. We are focusing on adverbs and adjectives as well as using negatives properly and combining sentences with prepositions. We will be ending this unit towards the last week of school.

Saxon Math Website

Your student’s math textbooks are now available three different ways. The first being the physical textbook, the second being a CD. The replacement cost for the textbook and CD is approximately $63.00. The third way is an access link online.
