Happy TGIF Day

Whew!!!  Today was a busy, crazy, but FUN day.  We started with Character Building meeting and reading our great Read-A-Loud, Petey.  Has your child shared about this book with you yet?  If not, I say you should ask.  Then we had Purple Hand Cookie nominations.  Many students were nominated for kind, caring, helpful behaviors.  This month's recipient is Caiden Hanson.  Congratulations-we are so proud of you!!!!
Then Lead 21 students wrote some awesome summaries of Selection 2 in their small readers.  Great job!!!  They have definitely learned a lot about the midwest.  Speaking of Midwest, states & capitals tests went home corrected today.  Students received 2 grades once again.  One for the correct match of the state & its' capital and the other for location.  These were once again very good overall.
Then we went to buddies and got to see the awesome slideshows they put together on weather.  They should be so proud of themselves.  Lastly, we got to enjoy our Root Beer Floats and we watched a video on 3 different endangered animals.  Ask your child, what 3 they were and if they can tell you, write the names of them in the planner for free money.  I think they were surprised that it was an educational movie.
Biographies are due on Monday!!!  Can't wait to see and hear all about these famous people.
Testing season is approaching.  Yes, we will be taking the MontCas Science test on Wednesday & Thursday, March 4 & 5.  More on that in Monday's Blog.
We will be starting Montana History again this next week.  We are all excited for that.
This weekend is the end of the Read-A-Thon -so everyone finish strong.  If you do, you will get a bonus from Mrs. Hankins. :))))))
Have a great weekend.
