On the News Tonight!!










Howdy Partners! Today was a great day right from the start celebrating our wonderful state of Montana's birthday. We started out with MT trivia that we turned into facts and then we wrote poems this morning as part of our language/reading.
After lunch, we got both classes together and did some map work with finding cities/towns in MT that matched little clues, then made birthday hat cookies, and of course sang the great state song "Montana". Brad, from KULR-8 was here and so be sure to tune in to the 5 and/or 6:00 news!! Great job 4th graders and quiz your parents on some MT trivia and if they can answer write MT in the planner and if they can tell you how old MT is write 1889 in the planner.
Nightly writing tonight consists of writing a paragraph or two or three about all they learned today about MT and what their favorite part was. They are to use topic, detail, and conclusion sentences. At least 1/2 page and 4th grade quality.
In math, we continue to write number expressions and will start algebraic expressions tomorrow. Everyone did great on the 5's today so tomorrow we start the 6's.
Also, tomorrow we are starting our otter unit in Science. Students will be using computers to find facts on National Geographic for Kids.
Thank you to all of you that sent in the $2.50 for the field trip and the permissions slips. The rest please get them back ASAP.
Have a great night.
