Happy Earth Day!!

By looking outside, it doesn't quite look like Earth Day-Oh well-the good news is-it is going to warm up by mid-week. Today was a great day. It started out with an AWESOME note that I got from Mr. Taylor, the substitute saying the kids were the best class he's been in yet this year. That is one great compliment. Then Mr. English came in to congratulate the kids on their AMAZING NWEA growth. He told them that they had the highest growth in the school. They were so proud and rightfully so. Way to go Team Hankins!!!! Tell your kids how proud you of them too and write proud in the planner. We finished Book #3 of our worm studies today. Now we are ready for Sandy, the worm farm owner, to come and give us some new info. and hands-on learning. For my reading kids, let's get the diorama ecosystem projects here by Thursday. Notes went home today with info. about the Bitterroot Bike Rodeo. This is a great event so I hope you will take the time to participate and have a chance to win a free bike. Also, students helping out at the STEM Night on Friday got work time slips today so mark down your times so you show up to help. You will receive $500 for helping and anyone showing up to participate will also receive $500. Easy money!! Remember PE shoes tomorrow. Have a great night.
