Short Blog -Staff Meeting Tonight

Hope you are enjoying this cold, blustery day. BRRRR!! We did go out for recesses today and will again tomorrow so please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. Last night's blog didn't happen until around 5:00 so if you looked before then, you missed it. Was so happy to see so much brightness in here today-"be bright-don't do drugs". It sure helped brighten up this dreary day. Tomorrow is Camouflage Day -"be all you can be"-don't do drugs". We are almost to the end of Red Ribbon Week and I am so impressed at how much these kids are taking in along with all the great discussions we have had. I know they will be able to say "NO" to drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, and negative choices that come their way. We started our Unit 2 in Lead 21 today which is about "Going Green-reduce-reuse-recycle. I hope that everyone is trying to reduce our footprint by doing some of these things so think about it tonight and have a discussion of how your family is helping conserve/protect our natural resources. If you do, write GREEN in the planner for free money. This goes for kids not in Lead 21 too. Unit 8 spelling lists came home today. In Montana History, we learned about counties and what they are. Ask your child how many counties Montana has and which county we live in. Write the answers in the planner if they can tell you. Be practicing those Northeast states & capitals. Also, make sure you are reading nightly. October calendars will be due on Friday with your month's minutes totaled up. Part 4 of water cycle story tonight on precipitation. I am thinking today's weather will be helpful with this part. Again make sure you are helping to edit each section. Thank you so much. Ask them what they did in Art today and what they are going to be used for. Love how the art teacher is integrating our curriculum. Have a great night and stay warm.
