Guest Teacher on Monday

Yes, we am going to be gone on Monday to a Leadership training here in Billings with Mr. English as well as some other Bitterroot Teachers.  So please take some time this weekend or on Monday morning to talk to your children about "expectations".  Remember to remind them about what we are always saying-"True character shines when no one is watching"!!!!!  I look forward to a good report when I get back.  Students have been told that they may not be eligible for the upcoming field trip if I can't trust them when I am gone.
Today in Montana History we learned that the first capital of Montana was not Helena.  Ask your child what now ghost town was the first territorial capital.  Write it in the planner for free money.
On Friday, we had a great time playing "Car Lot" for our teamwork/building activity & Fun Friday.  I am so excited that these kids are really coming along with their maturity.
Happenings for the upcoming week.
Math-we are going to be starting rounding numbers on Tuesday.  Wait till you hear our fun song to go with it!!!!
Lead 21-continuing with heritage & starting small group rotations on Tuesday.
Spelling-Unit 3 words
Language-review of nouns/verbs and starting subjects/predicates.
Social Studies-world maps & hemisphere maps
Montana History-we will finished with our state symbols on Monday so then we will have a test over all of them this week.
Science-we are going to take all we learned about hurricanes and turn it into a stoplight writing project.
As you can see, another busy week ahead.

Today, your child came home with a paper that has all the information on it to access their grades online.  As of now, I don't have many grades yet, but will later next week so if you access it now, there will be no grades posted but soon to be.
"Dug"-yes Mr. English's dog is going to be a guest here at school at times throughout the year so please take time to read the note that came home with your child today.
Have a great weekend.
