Happy Monday

Good day today for the first day back from our wonderful break.   I hope you had a great time with family & friends.  I sure did and got all my Christmas decorating done both inside & out.
Naming the new middle school-yes, the school district is wanting input on naming the new middle school along with a mascot & colors.  Students have an opportunity to come up with their ideas and write them down on the large index cards that they were able to take home tonight if they chose to.  Also, they need to give 1-2 reasons why they chose the name, mascot, and color(s) they did.  Then we will get together as a 4th grade and come up with one idea to enter as the 4th graders from Bitterroot Elementary.  Deadline for this process is on December 12th. Have fun and be creative.  Remember this is optional.
Today we started our Southeast states & capitals.  We didn't quite finish our flash cards today so I didn't send the practice maps yet as they will go home tomorrow.  But see if your child can name at least 2 states in the region-if they can, write them in the planner for free money.
Lead 21-all projects are done and shared so now we are on to Unit 3 which parallels our Southeast region in Social Studies.
Unit 13 spelling list.
Make sure you get your November reading calendars back to me tomorrow if you haven't already done so.  Decembers will go home tomorrow.  They didn't get back from print shop today.
Have a great night.
