Just a few pictures for you today. As you can see, Natalie was our star of the week. Another coin collector...who knew??? She shared that she got into this because when she was younger she used to get her allowance in coins instead of cash. Her parents would find special coins to give her if she did her weekly chores. What a cool idea!!! As you can also see, the kids really enjoyed looking at the different coins. Thanks Natalie!!
You will also see proof of our secret mission we did on Friday. Mr. English was supposed to be on his own mission and out of the building on Friday. However, due to the weather, he was unable to fly so it was cancelled. So....we had to recruit Mrs. Voigt to help us get him out of his office so we could decorate it with our Thank You Dog Tags project. Boy, was he surprised. We are so proud of all that the veteran's do for us, especially Mr. English. He came down at the end of the day to say thank you for all the nice letters. He felt special and loved. Awesome!
Speaking of secrets...I have one of my own! I will be sending home a letter to let you in on it tomorrow. Please keep this one from the kiddos. I think you will love it! The secret will be revealed to your kiddos around Christmas. Please send back the form, if you chose to, in a sealed envelope or avoid that by texting me your response. No peeking for kiddos!!!!
It is impossible to believe, but Midterms will be coming home this Friday. I can't believe we are halfway through quarter 2 already. We are learning a ton, but we still have a long way to go. I am very proud of all the kids for the growth, academically and socially, already.
Bitterroot needs your help on two projects. Mrs. Wardrip, the art teacher, is in need of cereal boxes and/or snack boxes (cheezits, glodfish, or whatever type). So, if possible, could you take out the contents and send in your boxes for her tomorrow. Each one sent in will be worth $20 for kids. We have art tomorrow, so kids can give them to her then. Tomorrow only!!! Thanks.
The second project is the Bitterroot Food Drive. If you can spare a can or box of perishable food, please do so. There is a bin by our classroom or the front office. Those that do, I will pay a standard $50 reward regardless of the amount they bring. I know how it feels to be a person in need, and now I know the importance of paying it forward. I, for one, will have my cans in hand tomorrow. Please join me in helping this great cause put on by the 5th and 6th grade KC Club. (Kindness Club). Thanks!!
Have an amazing Sunday, and we will see you tomorrow. (Billings Public Schools, unlike the rest of the world, has to come to school tomorrow.)
