Just a quick reminder that we will be going on our Pep Rally/Homecoming Parade field trip on Friday at 12:45. If you haven't turned in your permission slip as of yet, please do so or you will not be able to leave the Bitterroot Campus to attend.
Lunchroom Behaviors: Today the students left the lunch room without cleaning up and properly disposing of their trays. Mr. English came and talked to the students so let's hope tomorrow and here after they are responsible for this. If not, I told them we will practice during recess because it would be obvious we need to practice so we learn how to do it. Please talk with your child about this tonight and if you do, write lunchroom visit in the planner. Thank you.
As you can see from the pictures, we have begun our science unit on Matter. Students are looking through "bags of matter" and describing properties of it. We also "smelled" up the room to demonstrate how paper goes through both physical & chemical changes. Then we moved into states of matter. I told them that there is one kind of matter that can be all 3 states of matter. They are to come to class tomorrow with an idea of what they think it is. Have a fun discussion about this tonight and decide what it is. Soon we will be demonstrating some chemical reactions using household items as well as making chemical formulas using clay.
Almost done with heritage in Lead 21. We have one selection left so please be thinking about what it is that your child is going to share for Heritage Day. It is looking like sharing day will be the week of October 12th. I will let you know the exact day soon. We are going to be fortunate to have foreign exchange students coming to our classroom on Thursday, October 8th to share about their heritage & cultures. So excited for this!!!! I will have lots of pictures to share. I am also trying to get some college students from Rocky Mountain College to come as well. Will keep you posted.
Today was our session with Mrs. Neese. Ask your child what her lesson was about and if they can tell you, write Mrs. Neese in the planner.
Character Counts-our morning meetings are going great and we have now completed the character traits that I had planned to so now these amazing 4th graders are: Mrs. Hankins's Character Warriors. We read a book called "Brave Young Knight" and they are completing their shields. Ask them about the shields and the book and if they can tell you, write "character warrior" in the planner.
Well that about sums it up for this week.
Have a great rest of the week.
