Thank You-Thank You

Thank you so much to all of you for your generous donations to the Cake Walk and Basket Raffle.  We couldn't do it without you-so thank you again.  By the looks of it that night, everyone had a great time.
Today we finished up our Reading CAT test.  Tomorrow we will be doing the Math CAT.  So have  a good night's rest, healthy breakfast, and snack.  Remember to bring gum if you wish.
Today in Social Studies we did our final stop of the SW tour learning about the Oklahoma Land Rush.  Previous to this, we watched a quick You Tube Video of the Trail of Tears showing how the Indians were pushed up into Oklahoma and promised through a treaty that they could stay on the land there.  Well then came the Land Rush where many Europeans took over the land claiming their plots.  Ask your child a little bit about this and if they can tell you a few pieces of our discussion, (we did decide that this was quite a scary scene for those involved.)  write land rush in the planner.
We are having our short states & capitals test on this unit. (4 states) and also a quiz over all the locations along the way that we visited.  They have notes to use for this.
In Montana History, we are continuing with the trapping-trading of beaver furs.  Ask your child why the 2 fur trading companies converged into 1.
Remember recorders tomorrow.
Have a great night.
