Happy Monday! I LOVE when kids say that they are feeling happy today because it is Monday and they are back at school. Makes my day!
Today we talked about having courage. Rusty shared with us that courage is when we are afraid to do something, but we still do it because it is the right thing to do. Courage is such an amazing quality to have. I think of people like Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, MLK, Jr., and all of our Golden Apple Award Teachers in Billings and say Wow! They had the courage to stand out and stand up and be different! Makes me so proud to think of myself as getting there!!!! :0) Ask your child what they have done that has taken courage lately. Write what they say in the planner for $10 tomorrow.
In MT History, we took a look at the three different regions found in Montana: the west, the central, and the east. I read to them about each region and they had to glue in different pictures that matched my descriptions. They had to pick a landscape, an animal, and a plant for each region. Loved that thye ended the lesson saying that they had fun.
Homework tonight is a math review. Gotta keep those basics fresh. Those that have proven mastery on these topics by passing all difficult problems first in these sections were given an alternate homework sheet.
Some kiddos needed more time to finish their Reading quiz. I gave them a pass to class so they could come in early tomorrow morning. They need to be here by 8 so they can have the full 15 minutes to finish up. Please ask your child if this is them. They know.
Tauzha will be joining us from Spain tomorrow at 9:30. Please feel free to come listen to her share about her journey. I can't wait to hear all about the culture and heritage of Spain!
Well, that about sums it up for today. Have a wonderful night!
