Unwaxed Museum

What a treat we had today!!!  We went & listened to the 6th graders share their book at the Unwaxed Museum presentation in the gym this afternoon.  Students read a book of choice, dressed up as a character and then shared the book with us.  They shared all the good parts of the book trying to convince (persuade) us to read it.  It was so fun to see former students and how they have grown academically over the years.  Great job & kuddos to all the 6th graders.  Let's hope our biography projects are as impressive. Ask your child which was their favorite and write it in the planner for free money.   Also loved the tie-in to our persuasive writing that we just did last week.
I know there was some confusion as to how to access gmail account from home.  Go to the Library page of the Bitterroot website, then to D2 apps.  go to gmail-if you already have a gmail account, your child will have to create a new one for themselves.  It is their first name.last name@billingsstudents.org and then their password is their ID #  Example:  john.smith@billingsstudents.org  Hope this helps, if not let me know.
PTA sponsored Read-A-Thon flyers went home today.  Please take time to read it and jot down any questions you may have so we can answer those when we get started.  Always a fun reading adventure.  Thank you-PTA.   HMMMM-I wonder what the secret prize is.  I BELIEVE we can do it!!!!!
Equivalent fractions in Math today.  Have your child find an equivalent fraction for 4/9.  Show your work in the planner.
Remember spelling test is on Thursday this week.
Thursday is also the Valentine's Day party.  We are decorating valentine bags so if your child wants to bring anything from home to use in decorating it, they may do so tomorrow.  Otherwise they will be able to use crayons, markers, and construction paper here as well as a few cutouts I have.
Bring valentines on Thursday along with treats if you are on the treat committee.
Students are also allowed to bring a board game of their choice to play that day.
Have a great night.
