Happy Monday!

The end is in sight-Yes, I think the end of the "cold" snap is in sight once we can get rid of this crazy wind. The kids here at Bitterroot have been great though in spite of No Recess for 6 days!!!!!!! Today was a pretty normal day going through the routines & daily subjects. In Montana History, we discussed different ways the indians hunted bison back in the early days before horses & guns. Ask your child to tell you about at least 2 ways and if they can, write bison in the planner. Lead 21 started Unit 3 which is about the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and South Atlantic states which is some of the states we learned about in the Northeast Region in Social Studies. We are learning about the geography, economy, history, and culture of this region. More to come on this as we learn more about it. In math, we practiced division mental math to prepare us for our long division start up tomorrow. We also learned about 3 different kinds of triangles. Ask your child about them, and if they can tell you about all 3, write triangles in the planner. Tomorrow is PE so remember those tennis shoes. Also, we may be able to go outside tomorrow if it is above 0, so dress for the weather. Just a reminder that Friday is the Christmas Stroll. To show our support for our hard-working PTA, students will be given $300 free money if they attend. Students added $25 more to the Empty Stockings fund and more food came in today for the food drive. Way to help out the less fortunate. I am so hoping by the examples you & I are setting at home & school are what they will take with them for later in life. :))))) Have a great night.
