Great Weekend of Weather For a Duck!

Wow-this rain is amazing. Yes, it is much needed, but I sure am missing being outside in my yard and working in my flower beds and flower pots. You are going to hear them grow once the sun starts to shine with all this moisture. Due to all the rain, we are postponing our field trip out to the ranch. It will just be too wet and muddy, and besides you can't brand wet animals. I have an email into the bus/district transportation people to see when we can get a bus and reschedule it for. Will keep you posted. Wiffle Ball starts this week supposedly tomorrow. Make sure you have tennis shoes here everyday this week along with sunscreen as I am positive the sun is going to shine. I will be watching for good/true character during these games that we will be playing against other classes/grades. Then the 2 students that demonstrate the best positive character will be chosen to play in the staff vs. student game on Tuesday, May 28th. We started our Metric Olympics on Friday. We finished the javelin throw and the hoop shoot. Ask your child to tell you about them and write Olympics in the planner. We will finish them up this week. In Montana History, we are going to finish up the section on mining/vigilantes and then hopefully get into the tribes/reservations before the year is over. Oh where did the time go??? We will have our 50 states and capitals test on Thursday. We do a little studying in school, but the majority of it needs to be done at home. In Math, we do some end of the year assessing and review of the whole year. In Reading, we are still finishing up Riding Freedom so now that the field trip is postponed we will get to finish it before we go. We are going to finish reading Hoot and then Mrs. Anderson is going to show it to the 4th grade together as kind of a library treat for having an awesome year. Students will be able to buy into the concessions again with their fake money. Have a great rest of the weekend.
