Welcome Back

I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend and got lots accomplished. This week we are back to somewhat normal here as we are finished with testing. YAHOOO!!! The kids did great though. We were treated with a surprise this morning as the Castle Rock Honor Orchestra came to perform. It is always so fun to hear them and to see former Bitterroot students a part of school activities. It was also great as these 4th graders are studying instruments with Mrs. McKennsey in Music. Some of the happenings this week: Lead 21-we started our Unit 7 which is on the Western States-yes that is Montana. We will find out lots of facts & info on these Mountain & Pacific states. Spelling-Unit 33 word list Science-continuing with owls & Owl in the Family book. Today the groups shared their owl facts. Ask them to tell you 4 new things they learned and if they can tell you, write owls in the planner. Social Studies-moving along with the Southwest tour. We learned some cool things about Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon today. Math-we are going back and reviewing some skills that we are needing extra practice on such as measurement, fractions, and decimals. Morning Meeting Read-A-Loud-we started our new book today called "Riding Freedom". Ask your child what it is going to be about and what happened to Charlotte when she was only 2 years old. If they can tell you, write Riding Freedom in the planner. Congratulations to our Fit Kids Club participants. They are: Jacoby, Kylee, Kaitlin, Caden, Isaiah, Phil, Kiernan,and Hanna. Way to take part in being committed to good health & fitness. Friday, May 9th is Family PTA movie night in the gym from 6-8. Have a great week.
