Terrific Thursday

Another great day today for Team Hankins.  We finally were able to do more than just procedures-procedures-procedures today.  We started off the day with some fun review math.  I think these kids are ready for a math challenge!!!!  Yay.  It was so nice to see them come in right away and get to work on tasks at hand.  Also, they were so helpful to each other without any complaining.  Way to work on that positive character.  We started a "getting to know you" project today where they are coming up with 10 cool things that we should know about them.  We will continue these tomorrow and they will be ready for your viewing by Open House on September 9th.  Ask them 3 things they learned about Mrs. Hankins today.  If they can tell you, write in on a notecard or wherever and send it to school with them tomorrow for free money.  (Eventually we will put these blog answers in our assignment notebooks when they arrive.)
Mrs. Neese came in for her first visit today to introduce herself and tell us about what she will be doing to help kids out here at Bitterroot School.  She played a fun game too.  Ask them about it and if they can tell you, write Mrs. Neese on the card for free money.
Then we moved on to more math and played an addition game with cards as you can see from the few pics I took.
My newsletter went home today for you to read.  Has lots in it about our fake money system.  We did have a few tickets & money taken today, but it is all a learning experience about making "good choices" and remaining positive.  In the packet, please make sure you fill out the "All about you" form for me to put in my binder so I have your contact numbers & email.  Thank you.  These are due by Tuesday.  Free money when they are returned by then.
Have a great night.
