Band/Orchestra Concert

Great job to all the 5th/6th Band & Orchestra kids here at Bitterroot. They did a great job today. It is amazing how far they have all come since the beginning of the year.
Today in Math we started Elapsed Time. This is one of those concepts that either kids "grasp" right away or it is a "struggle". The more practice they have not only in school, but at home will make them successful. Please practice a couple examples with your child tonight and write time in the planner. Example: Movie starts at 6:20--Ends at 8:47-how much time has elapsed?
Also, we continued with geometry. If they can tell you or draw what a diameter & radius are on a circle, write circle in the planner.
Reminder: Tomorrow is our shopping day for Santa's Workshop if your child chooses to. Everything is $1.00.
Also, tomorrow is HE/PE.
We will be talking about Polar Express trains tomorrow and what supplies are needed. The supplies sheet will come home tomorrow.
Remember states & capitals test is on Friday.
We had our test on skin today. Most did quite well. Their papers came home today. It was off of stuff we discussed, read about, or watched on short video clips. Definitely shows who has been paying attention in class.
Have a great night.
