BOOK IT! 
This year our classroom is participating in the BOOK IT! Program to encourage your child to find the joy in reading.  The mission of the program is to turn "have to read" into "want to read" and the only way to get better at reading is to take the time to do it!  Information was sent home October 4 as to how the program works, along with ideas on how you can get involved at home.  So please READ! READ! READ!  every school night (weekends too to make up for school nights you may miss)  and record  how long you read and what you read on  your monthly Calendar in your planner. 

Please checkout daily new ST Math assignments to be completed at home.  Thank you




 




JANUARY FIELD TRIP!
Fourth Grade will be visiting the Utah Museum of Natural History Thursday, January 17th.  Please join us!  We need as many parent volunteers as possible in order to help us tour the museum in small groups.  Per the state requirements, parent chaperones must complete the fingerprinting/background review prior to acting as a field trip chaperone.  If you are interested in becoming eligible to chaperone and completing the state requirements,  please stop by the school office for more information.  We would so love to have you join us!  PERMISSION SLIPS SENT HOME WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14 INCLUDED ON THE SKI UTAH PERMISSION SLIPS.   DUE NOVEMBER 30

SKI/SNOWBOARD TRIP DATE: January 9, 2019
Ski Resort: Snowbird
Woodstock students will be renting equipment from ski rental shops in the valley the night before our ski day. Students are allowed to choose between skiing and snowboarding. It is not recommended to choose snowboarding unless they have snowboarded before.
Registration Checklist for Parents
Before your child can ski or snowboard, there are several things you need to do. Here is a checklist:
 
  • REGISTER TO SKI OR SNOWBOARD – Register online at http://www.skiutah.com/school .
  • PROVIDE NOTIFICATION OF REGISTRATION – Return the notification that you have registered. (Fill out, cut off, and return the bottom section of the letter from Ski Utah.) This is the only way we will know if your child has been registered online.
  •  SIGN & RETURN THE WAIVER & GRANITE FIELDTRIP PERMISSION FORMS – When you register online, you will be prompted to print a Ski Utah Waiver. You do not need to print your own copy because a copy of the waiver is attached along with the Granite Fieldtrip Permission Form.
  • PAY FOR THE TRIP – The cost is $28.00.  Pay for the trip with cash or write a check made out to Woodstock Elementary School. THIS IS NON-REFUNDABLE. Buses and ski instructors are set up based on our expected numbers. This cost includes the transportation, equipment rental, and group skiing/snowboarding with an instructor. Please speak with your child’s teacher if payment is an issue. We want all children to have the opportunity to participate.
  •  Do all of the above by Friday, November 30th. 
Great News!  Students now have access to the XtraMath Program!  XtraMath is a program used to increase speed and accuracy in Math.  Students, you are invited to spend a few minutes each day practicing math on a computer, table, or phone.  Parents, if you would like your student to do XtraMath on a table or smarphone, look for XtraMath in the app store.  The app costs $5.  On a laptop or desktop computer, he/she can do XtraMath for free at xtramath.org.
