Hi there.
A better day today by most, but still working on it with some. Thanks for your support and continuous support. I appreciate you!!!!
We took a quiz on our Fallen Rock book today. We have read 5 chapters, and I wanted to check in and make sure that everyone was on the same page and paying close attention to details. The test was multiple choice and similar to an AR test format. Students were not allowed to look back into their text, as I wanted to know what they know. I will grade those tonight and plug them into the grade book tomorrow. Please continue to look online for your child's grades and to make sure missing assignments are not happening. The fastest way to destroy a grade point average is to have a missing assignment. They can drop an A to a C with just one. There are a few kids with some work missing. I gave them a missing report today if this was the case. All work is due by the time my report cards are due. Kids are welcome to come in early or stay in at recess to finish up missing work.
In math we moved on to estimating sums and differences. This is where rounding kicks into high gear. Students had to round to get an estimated sum/difference, compute the actual sum/difference with a calculator, and then compare the two and determine if they under or over estimated. Wowzers!!! They did great. I had quite a few work with me, but they all had it by the time they left! I did have two kiddos complete the Difficult Problems First challenge and pass it. Love that I am challenging so many at the same time!
Mrs. Auch moved the due date for the Science labs to next Wednesday. Please make sure those are done by then, and ready to come back to school. Thanks!
Tomorrow is a half day. Teachers are in training and working with our grade levels to make more and more amazing learning opportunities for you kiddos! Dismissal is at noon. Please make sure your child knows how they are getting home. If you have this discussion, write HOME in the planner for $10.
The basket for Saturday Live is done and ready to go. It looks FANTASTIC!!! The person that gets that one is going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Lots of fun places to take the family out to dinner or for those mom and dad date nights! A HUGE thank you again to Haylee, Taryn, and Casasha's moms for all their hard work on this. What a great success.
Saturday Live is this Saturday at Pioneer Park. The entire Billings District will be there with a booth/game from each school in Billings. It is HUGE. A map came home today in the Tuesday folders. Find Arrowhead on there, so you know where to find us! I will be working a shift with my Zachary that day, so stop by and say hi if you come!
Have a wonderful evening!
Ms. Erickson
