Welcome Back!!!!

Seems like forever since I posted with the holiday break.  Speaking of holiday-I feel the holiday spirit in the air.  Students here at Bitterroot are practicing so hard for the upcoming Holiday Program which is on Friday, December 18th at 10:00 for Grades 3-6.  See flyer that went home today for all program times.
Also, the PTA is sponsoring a Family Holiday Night which is on Friday, December 11th from 6:30-8:00 so plan on coming out to join the fun.  See the flyer that went home today.
Also coming home related to the holiday spirit is the flyer that went home yesterday about Crazy Hair Day on Friday, December 11th where students can have crazy hair and bring either hair items or $ for the Tumbleweed Program.  Thank you, Hanna Hall for spearheading this great endeavor.  Tis the season for giving!!!!
Mid-terms went home today so take a good look at them, sign, and return by Tuesday, December 8th.
I want to Congratulate Team Hankins on a job well done for Chapter 2 math tests.  Super scores!!!  Also, good job to the Lead 21 kids for their great endangered animal reports.  These are up in the hall.
Fun Rudolph stories-we took a couple days and got our creative juices flowing and took a new spin on Rudolph's nose turning a different color.  Ask your child what color they chose and how it changed color.  If they can tell you, write Rudolph in the planner for free money.  These will be hanging in the hallway as well.  Fun-fun-fun!!!!!

Next week's happenings:
Math-Chapter 3 -strategies for multiplying 2 digit x 2 digit numbers
Reading-Lead 21-Unit 3 -which is on our nation's beginning
Language-verbs and verb tenses.
Spelling-Unit 14 words
Social Studies-Southeast Region-maps will come home to start practicing states & capitals

Congratulations to Ella, our November Purple Hand Cookie winner.  She was nominated by her classmates for being helpful, kind, caring, and her fun sense of humor.  Great job!!!
Congratulations to Christian, our new Student of the Week.  Christian loves pizza, PE, Christmas, the color blue.  He describes himself as generous and hopes to learn about math this year.  His idea of a perfect day is in the summer playing with his friends.  We are so delighted to have Christian and his family join our classroom and Bitterroot School this year.
Have a great weekend and as always if any questions, please contact me.
