Hi there.
As you can see, we had a great time learning all about Montana at the NILE today. All the information learned will come in handy soon during our MT History lessons. Kids got to learn all about both the livestock and the crop side of MT Agriculture. They even got to drink some milk, have some fresh popcorn, and take home a honey stick. Fun! They also all got a free NILE rodeo admission ticket. I do have some extras if anyone needs one. Our first field trip sure was a success! Great behavior by all too! Well done Team Erickson. A HUGE thank you as well to Mrs. Hoke for coming along with us and helping out!!! If your child can tell you one of the 5 major crops found in Montana write it down and earn $20 tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments about how happy you are to have the blog back, and the special Snoopy drawing was great too! More than that, thank you for all your encouraging words about understanding my teaching style and all of your support!
Today, the kids are coming home with their second piece of the raindrop story for homework. We are now in the collection stage of the water cycle. They need to be doing some kind of activity on Earth and collecting with other raindrops in some fashion. They also need to end this paragraph by getting near a heat source to prepare for the next stage...evaporation! But they are NOT to evaporate yet. Please have them read it to you later tonight and correct any errors you can find. I will collect and read these over the break. We will then pick up with evaporation next Monday. Please continue to have them create their raindrops at home. Creativity and effort is key. It should not have been done last night and thats it. They need to really create the raindrop that matches their story with details from their story as they continue to write it. Please keep them at home until I ask for them to come back to school. Thanks.
Tomorrow is a half day. We will spend it by walking to our off site evacuation site with the entire school. If this were to happen for real, you would get an automated call informing you that we have evacuated off campus and where to reunite with your child. It is the Morman church on Wicks. You will NOT get a call tomorrow, as we are just practicing the walk over and back. Kids will be dismissed at noon tomorrow. Please arrange with your child how to get home before they leave for school tomorrow.
Tennis shoes for gym and evacuation walk are needed tomorrow.
I think that is about it. Have a great night.
