Bitterroot Olympics

Yes, our fun 6th grade classes put on a mini olympics for us this morning with 4 events. They were in charge of setting them up, running the events and then calculating the results. The results are in and we have our medal winners!!! Gold goes to Phil, Silver to Tristan, and Bronze to Isaiah. Great job to these winners and everyone who participated. Fun was had by all!!! Thank you 6th grade. Now everyone can watch the end of the olympics as they come to a close this weekend. We only got 3 biographies shared today due to this olympic activity so we will get the rest done on Monday. Sorry, if this deadline of Friday was an inconvenience for you, but now look at it this way-it is done and the weekend is free!!!! 3rd Clue today for our Read-A-Thon. The curiosity is definitely there to solve the mystery of the lost book with these clues. Make sure you read this weekend. Lots of minutes to earn this weekend. Congratulations to Phil, our student of the week. We enjoyed all that you shared with us. Lots of fun pictures, your coyote caller was cool, and your autographed baseball card. Some of his favorites are: blue, Twisted Journeys, baseball, crab, HE/PE, and some day we wants to be on the PGA Tour-who knows he may be the next favorite Phil golfer of mine. As you know, I am a Phil Mickelson fan. I actually got to meet him and have a picture taken with him!!!! The think we never knew about Phil is that he can squeak his ear!!! :) Plans for the week of February 24-28. In Math, we are moving from fractions to fractions with decimals & percentages. So students will write .89 as 89/100, and 89% or 4/5 as .80 & 80% so we will have to find the common denominator of 10 or 100. Lead 21, we will begin Unit 5 on the Midwest or Central region of the U.S. Skills this week will be main idea/details, antonyms, and prefixes. In Science, we will continue with our worm study. In Montana History, we will be finishing up the Lewis & Clark Expedition and learning some detailed facts about the Indian tribes they encountered along the way. Then we will get back into Social Studies & the Midwest Region for awhile. Unit 25 spelling words. Mid-terms went home today. Great job-remember to work hard to get those grades up from last quarter. If you saw your child's grades, write mid-terms in the planner. Have a great weekend and remember to READ-READ-READ!!!!
