Happy Tuesday

Busy, crazy day today.  First of all, I need to commend the students for their hard work once again on the Math CAT test which is the SBAC portion of math with lots of different math questions with some difficulty.  We now have the 2 longest ones done.  Tomorrow we are going to do the ELA (reading) performance test which has fewer questions, but with more writing/keyboarding short answers.  Then on Thursday, we will be doing the Math performance test.  So once again, attendance the next 2 days is so important so they don't get behind.
With Mrs. Neese today, students watched a short video of a lady that started and ice cream shop and it showed how she worked hard and believed in herself and now this day, she owns many different ice cream shops.  So then they got in groups and made posters of careers.  Ask your child some of the careers they came up with and ask them what they hope their career is going to be and write it in the planner.
We started our SW states & capitals test today.  They got that part done, but now we are finishing the location part and they get to use their map notes that they took as we learned about 10 different locations in this area.  This is going to show how well they listened, followed along, and took good notes.  No reason not to get a 100% on this.
Please see the note from Mr. English. Ok-so the letter didn't copy, paste, and transfer to this blog so I will try again tomorrow.  So in a nutshell,  Bitterroot School is getting new lighting, new windows, and heating vents.  What this means is that every teacher in the building needs to pack EVERYTHING up and get it out of their classrooms.  This needs to be done by Monday, June 8th.   As you can see, we are going to be busy at the end of the year wrapping up the year and also packing everything up. So what Mr. English mentioned in his newsletter is that students may be involved in a little extra PE/movie time that last week of school.   Fun to look forward to new lighting & windows though so it will be worth it in the end.  WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!  Thank you for your understanding and patience the last week if your child comes home saying they had more PE time/movie time.
Have a great night.
