Weekly Updates

Dear Parents and Students,

Last week we finished off the week by celebrating Vancy and all she had done for Alta Elementary. It was a wonderful way to end the day. Your children wrote beautiful poems about Vancy and shared these with her at the celebration.

We also had Deputy Carr from Jackson come and speak to us about, "stranger danger". This is in light of the recent kidnappings that have happened both in Colorado and Wyoming. I would encourage you to have a conversation about this with your children as well.

We have a busy week this week:

In reading we will start to analyze characters. We will look at character traits and protagonist along with antagonist in various stories. The reading homework will coincide with this.

Thank you to all of you that were able to come to the author's celebration. We are wrapping up small moments by assessing the students on a small moment writing prompt. We will start our new genre of writing which is memoir.

In math 6th graders will continue to work on decimal multiplication, and division of both whole numbers and decimals.

In 5th grade the students will be tested on Unit 2 Estimation and Computation. This will cover estimating, addition and subtraction of whole and decimal numbers, number stories, multiplication of whole numbers and decimals, and place value.

4th graders will continue to work on multiplication and division along with looking at data.

Remember our PTO chili night is October 25th. Come support Alta Elementary!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful week.

Smile,

Mrs. Chudzik
