Western Day Tomorrow

Yes, there has been a request for western day tomorrow. So get those boots, hat, belts, etc. and show your Montana, Cowboy spirit. Not a lot of happenings to report lately as we have just been working hard doing our daily warm-ups, games, activities, and practice to prepare us for what lies ahead in the upcoming weeks. We did start our tour of the Midwest today. We learned about St. Louis, Iowa, and Dodge City, Kansas. Ask your child what they learned about each of them and if they can tell you, write 3 in the planner. Keep practicing those states & capitals. I will be setting a date for the test by the end of this week. As we finish the tour for this section, we are going to be making travel brochures to highlight what we learned. This will be a part of their grade just like the states & capitals. Excitement in math today as we learned to read a protractor and measure angles. Ask your child the 4 kinds of angles and if they can tell you all 4 and a measurement of each, write the names of them in the planner. Remember those library books tomorrow. Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, March 24th. It is a built in vacation day. Have a great night.
