Jeff, the Nature Guy Comes to Bitterroot 4th Grades

Jeff, the Nature Guy, will be in our classroom LIVE on Monday afternoon.  He is going to be here to talk about beavers & their habitat.  Your child will be in "awe" as they listen to him.  His knowledge of animals & nature is amazing, plus the energy & fun he brings to his presentations.
The field trip to the beaver dam/lodge is going to be a happening deal.  We are going to be going on Wednesday, October 27th.  Permission slips will be coming home Monday.  We weren't sure if we would go because of the $6 that it is going to cost your child because we aren't guaranteed to see beavers in action as they are noc-turnal, but there is so much to learn about their habitat and the kids are eager to go so we are going to do it.  Cross your fingers that we see them in action.

Permission slips for the Detention Center are going to be coming home this week also.  We have lots going on for Drug Free week as you will see on the slip that comes home.

Parent-Teacher Conference slips went home on Friday.  Please mark your 1st & 2nd choices for your day & time.  We do what we can to give you one of those choices.  Due to the availability of times,  I appreciate the effort that split families make to come  up with one conference time that you can come together to talk about your child.  Thank you.

Thank you for all the positive letters that you have written about your child and their experience so far in 4th grade.  I am so happy to read about the positive impact our morning meetings and character building are making for your child.  Putting the extra time and effort in for this is so important for building relationships and teamwork.

Reminder:  Early Dismissal on Wednesday, October 20th-12:00 dismissal

Health test on Tuesday.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
