Dear Parents:
This year we have the opportunity to perform with over 6,000 students from 74 Utah County schools in the “Hope of America” student chorus showcase. This one-hour patriotic program will be presented on Wednesday, April 17th. the BYU Marriott Center. Students need to be in their seats by 6:15 or they will be unable to sit in the flag formation with their class.
“Hope of America” promotes love of country, music, and good citizenship through a memorable participatory event. The chorus wears red, white, blue, or yellow “Hope of America” t-shirts. They sit in the shape and colors of the American flag, framed by students in yellow.
There is a $10 fee for each participating student. This cost helps us provide the following to each student:
- CD Take home practice CD and lyric sheet
- T-Shirt A 2013 t-shirt design
- Event Photo Delivered to your school after the performance
There is no charge for attending the event or parking. Final performance detail will be given in March.
By signing the form below, you grant permission for your child’s image to be recorded in the filmed production.

This morning so many kids brought in their reading slips! Good job! IF YOUR STUDENT HASN'T HAD YOU SIGN 4 SHEETS, HE OR SHE MIGHT BE BEHIND...Check on the classroom board to see if the minutes have been logged.
We made Valentine's folders to hang from our desks. We are looking for good and funny things others do, to build unity. It was fun watching kids write secret notes to each other. (Only appropriate, kind, nice, and upbuilding things are allowed!)
We are beginning locating and labeling large U.S. cities.

In Grammar we classified sentences. Then we read two more chapters in Ben and Me, about the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. We then worked more on our 3-point essay organizing. We will be writing these essays on Wednesday.
MATH HOMEWORK IS EXERCISE 20. Students need to draw the bar models to find the correct answers. We will be taking Test 7 toward the end of the week, so it is imperative that students complete all of Unit 7 in the Workbook.
After lunch we had Meridian Math Club and Structured Independent Reading. STUDENTS SHOULD BE BUSILY READING A BOOK OF THEIR CHOICE FOR A BOOK REPORT AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
For Writer's Workshop, we wrote the first clue in our mystery. The clues were descriptive, and they had to point us toward the ending we wrote last week.
After a well-earned recess, Fifth Graders had Science and Fourth Graders had Art. In Science we worked on our Science Fair question, hypothesis and experiment. SCIENCE FAIR IS MARCH 1ST. A registration packet will go home tomorrow. PLEASE DISCUSS AND PLAN THE SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT WITH YOUR CHILD A.S.A.P.!!
P.E. and then Science National Geographic clips of real scientists and scientific problems finished up the day.
