Great Day Back!

We had a great day back!!! Was great to see these kids again-I missed them. They are such an awesome bunch of kids which is a huge credit to you as parents. Thank you for your hard work with them. Rusty's topic for this week is "work"-we discussed what it is and how we can help our families during this busy, hectic holiday season. They were to each write down something they are going to work hard on this week to help out their families. Have a conversation about their job or chore they are going to do and write work in the planner for free money. Montana History today took us way back into the 1700's and how the Indians were pushed from east to west by the Europeans. They also found out that the Europeans had brought many diseases with them when they came over and how this was very difficult on the Indians. We then made a collage in our notebooks of the tribes that were here in Montana Territory at that time. We also started the section on our seasonal squares which goes into detail of Indian life amid the 4 seasons. Ask them which animal was most important to Indian life. IF they can tell you, write the name of it in the planner. In Math, we did many examples of finding elapsed time. We used number lines to help us with this. We will practice this more tomorrow and then they can show you tomorrow night how to use it. They thought it was pretty cool and it makes finding elapsed time much simpler. Math homework tonight is practicing that multiplication computation. New December reading calendars went home today. I used a different format and put on a few extra dates. I hope it is not too confusing. Let me know if it is, and I will go back to the original next month. Remember if you have not brought Novembers in already, do so tomorrow. Also, we are collecting food for the Food Drive so if you want to help, please do so. Thank you We did these Turkey drumstick transformations right before break and I took pictures of them so wanted to share them with you. Have a great night and brace for tomorrow's weather.
