Quick Post: I will make this post quick as I have a meeting today with Mrs.Anderson, the librarian, to plan some cool activities that she can do to integrate Montana History into the library curriculum. She is so awesome and we love her and how she supports what we do in the classroom. Today we had some fun, edible science. We were paleontologists and we excavated chocolate chips and m&m's from cookies. We talked about how hard of a job it was and how careful we had to be to not break and crumble it. Then we talked even further on how hard it would be to put it back together as they do with bones to create an animal skeleton. We started our Montana Research today. Fact finding will be done on computers and facts & drawings will be put into the packet given them.. One last note: Some students have reading re-do work. The quality of what they turned in today was not acceptable. They had to pay their fine and redo it for tomorrow. We talked about quality and to push hard till the end of the year. We also talked about the fact that if they don't take school seriously and work hard till the end, they may have to stay back from field trips to complete these tasks. I know they can do it and they know they can do it!!!! Tomorrow we start learning about the gray whale and then move into whale migration. Reminder: NO School on Friday due to the State Music Festival. Have a great night and let's hope for sunshine.
