Eager Beavers

What a great day we had today.  We were eager beavers and got lots done.
Speaking of beavers, Ms. Erickson and I are great friends with Jeff, the Nature Guy, from the Beartooth Nature Center in Red Lodge and he knows of an awesome beaver dam/lodge with lots of beaver activity going on right now.  He has offered to take us there on a field trip-Yay!!!  This will cost each of us $6.00 to pay for the bus.  We talked about it today in class and most kids said the money wouldn't not be a problem.  If it is for your family-no worries, we will make sure your child goes!!  What a great opportunity to see them in action.  Permission slips will be coming home soon.
I will be collecting fake money too which helps explain the nightly writing for tonight.  Yes, parents you have homework too.
Your child has to write a letter to me telling me how our Morning Meetings and Character Building is helping them become a more positive member of our team.  ($500)
Parents:  I am asking you to write a letter to me about what you are seeing and feeling about your child this year in 4th grade.  Try to incorporate the character, social, and academics.
This will earn them another $500.  WOW-$1000 for one night-that pays for a field trip.

Talk to your child about the new skip counting activity we learned today to help with math facts.
Have a great night and enjoy the weather.
