As you can see by the Smilebox that Field Day was fun & challenging. We had a great day making some fun friendship memories. The pictures of the groups sitting on the floor is of the kids practicing their Reader's Theater scripts. They are doing these for fun and will be performing them in front of the whole class sometime next week. These are just something fun now that we are done with Lead 21 for the year. They may be asking you to bring some props from home. Like I told them only if it is ok with you and that I don't want lots of money spent or anyone stressing out about it. They will be cute no matter what. Next week will be full of Wiffle Ball games as we are doing our annual wiffle ball games when we play the different classes in Grades 3-6. Then on Friday will be the Staff vs. Character Kids game where each classroom teacher will have picked 2 kids to play while the other cheer on their peers. Students will be chosen by the use of good sportsmanship, teamwork, and overall good character. This is obviously going to be a tough pick as this class uses lots of good character. Also, next week is Awards Day on Wednesday at 9:00. I will attach a note in your child's planner on Monday if they are receiving an award so you can plan accordingly if it fits your schedule. Thursday of next week is our Soul Surfer Movie in the morning so if you haven't returned your permission slip, please do so. We will be cleaning out desks on Thursday afternoon so plan for that if you have lots of stuff to carry, you may not want to ride your bike. Have an awesome weekend and I look forward to a fun last week.

Quick Post

Yes, this is going to be a quick post. Students had a great day at field day today with lots of fun and the weather cooperated. Visit with them about their favorite activity and write it in the planner. I do have to say this group is quite competitive, but I think they were able to "forgive" & "forget" and move on after some little frustrations. Thank you to Bri (Kaitlin's mom) for helping out and for Kami (Phil's mom) for bringing extra popsicles which we will have tomorrow after Fun Friday. Today we finished our Robot People-I took pictures and will post them along with the field day pics in Smilebox tomorrow. They turned out great and all quite different. We finished our Lead 21 Benchmark assessment today so we are now done with that. Remember tomorrow is the West Region states & capitals test. Also, if you haven't turned in the permission slip for the Soul Surfer movie, please do so tomorrow. Thank you. Have a great night.

Thank you, Dairy Queen

Yes, a HUGE thank you to the West End DQ as they donated Dilly Bars to everyone at our school today. What a fun way to end our "Hawaiian Bitterroot Bash Day. Of course guess what-I forgot to take a picture. :((( But we had lots of colorful, fun attire. So if you are on the West End sometime this summer and need a treat, stop by and support the DQ. Field Day tomorrow-yes, we are outside for field day tomorrow from 1:15-2:45. Great events planned. Dress for the weather-shorts, tennis shoes, sunscreen, and water bottles. If you want to come out and help out, please be here by 1:00. Thank you Today in math we started our perimeter & area robots. I will be taking pics of these as we finish them up on Friday. They have to use certain measurements, but still they are not all the same. Ask your child about theirs so far and write robot man in the planner. Permission slips went home today for the Soul Surfer movie on June 5th. It is a great tie-in to our morning meetings, setting goals, and character building. Have a great night.

Hawaiian Day Tomorrow

Not a real eventful day today so will be a short post. Students had their last class session with Mrs. Neese today and they played Jeopardy as a review of everything she worked on this year with them. Have them tell you about it and some of the questions. If they can, write Jeopardy in the planner. We almost finished our tour of the West Region today. Remember, states & capitals test is on Friday. Speaking of test, we will start Lead 21 Benchmark assessment # 3 starting tomorrow. It will take at least 2 days if not 3. Hawaiian Day tomorrow-Bitterroot Beach Bash: wear your Hawaiian attire and show your spirit. It is also the school bar-be-que tomorrow at lunch. Have a great night.

Thank You Grewell Family

As you can tell by the Smilebox pictures, we had a great field trip and it really made Montana History & Riding Freedom come alive. We learned so much about animals, farm equipment, and the history of ranching & cattle branding. Thank you Kami Bell for volunteering to go with us yesterday. This coming week is going to be a busy short week. In Math we are going to do some fun robot perimeter/area measuring & computation Social Studies, we will finish our West Region Tour-lets' look to have the states & capitals test next Friday, May 30th. We will be doing a fun Hawaii project to go along with this region. Lead 21-we have to do 1 more benchmark assessment No Spelling list this week-we are in a review unit so will end with review skills. Language -review of skills. Field Day is on Thursday, May 29th. Thank you to Kaitlin & Phil's moms for volunteering to help. We so appreciate it. Have a fantastic 3 day weekend.

Awesome Field Trip

Yes, we had a great field trip today. Have a fun discussion about it and write 3 of your child's favorite things in the planner. I will be making a Smilebox of the trip tomorrow and posting it. Thank you to the Grewell Family for teaching us & showing us so much to make Montana History come alive. Cya tomorrow

Supaman

WOW!! Today we had a treat of an assembly in the gym. It was Supaman. He was a Crow Indian who did lots of dancing, entertaining, and giving out positive messages. We even had some star dancers in our classroom. Way to go to Jacoby, Tristan, Sydnie, and Dylan for taking a risk. I think they will be on the next "America's Got Talent". Good Job. Ask your child what one of his positive messages to kids was and if they can tell you, write Supaman in the planner. Tomorrow is our field trip to the ranch. By the look at the weather we are in for a great day. Bring sunscreen & water bottles. Also, dress for the weather-you may wear shorts, but make sure you have a light jacket and wear closed shoes. No cameras for this one as we will be around lots of animals. Students may bring electronics for the bus as they can play them with their pen pals and interact that way while they visit. Remember we are providing lunch, but you need to bring your own drink. If you have read all this and are ready for the field trip, write field trip in the planner. Today in Riding Freedom, we read about "revenge". Ask them how Charlotte got revenge on Mr. Millshark. If they can tell you, write revenge in the planner. Have a fun night and I look forward to tomorrow and making some fun memories.
