Happy Wednesday

Great to see many of you last night at Open House.  If you were not able to make it, I hope you will be able to take time each day to read the blog and to help me work hard with your child this year on being amazing, strong Character Warriors and keeping the lines of communication open.
Today in Math, we worked hard on comparing numbers into the millions place.  Students are doing a good job of this by putting in the correct sign, but having more difficulty reading the larger numbers so I sent a practice page home with your child tonight for them to practice with you for tonight & tomorrow and then to have them back to school signed by you by Friday.  Thank you.  If you practiced these LARGE numbers tonight, write numbers in the planner for free money.

In Lead 21, we started our unit on Heritage.  This is going to be a fun unit as students will learn about their own ancestors & heritage.  Fun project to come with this later.
Monthly reading calendars went home today with my reading kids.  Students are to read at least 30/night for at least 5 days/week which will add up to 600 minutes which is the minimum requirement for the month.  Since it is already the 10th of the month, I am requiring only 400 for this month only!!!!  Please write down the number of minutes read and initial it each day your child reads.  Of course, yes, they can read way more than the minimum-in fact-that would be AWESOME!!!!!
Ask your child what character trait we did today for C.C. meeting and one way they are going to show this trait personally and if they can tell you, write the name of the trait in the planner for free money.
We finished reading our great fact book today on hurricanes and taking notes.  Students will now use these notes for a writing project using our stoplight writing method.
PTA fundraiser packets-please keep selling those coupon books to help us get great things for our kids here at Bitterroot School.  This will end on September 22nd.
HE/PE tomorrow so remember those tennis shoes!!!!!
Have a great night.
