The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it. Woodrow Wilson

Hello there!

Thank you so much for returning your RSVPs so quickly for next Tuesday night's Civil Right's Showcase. Spencer and Max's moms…I will be contacting you soon! Thanks for offering to help. We are sure getting excited to show you all our stuff. I think you will be amazed to hear just how much academics I have crammed into so many different projects. :0) Cya at 6:30 that night.

It is Arrowhead REEF night tonight! It is from 4-8. Emma, Beau, and I will be between 5:30 and 6 and will stay till 8. Zach really wanted to come, but the roads are little slick to drive in. Luckily, we have family in Billings to stay at after we are done having some swimming and sliding fun, fun, fun! If you attend Reef night, write the word REEF in the planner for $50 tomorrow.

Because of the school event, there is no homework tonight except to study for the spelling test. Yay!

Yesterday, Miss Amanda made a connection to her learning. She wore a peace shirt on purpose. She shared with me that she wore it because it reminded her of MLK, Jr. So, so awesome! Man, I love these kid's minds!!!!!



Tomorrow is an Arrowhead Spirit Day. For a dollar donation (real money), kids may wear their Super Bowl spirit gear. I haven't heard no hats, so I think it is a go???? Go Broncos and Seahawks! Since the Steelers aren't in it, I will be rooting for both and just watching the game for fun. Actually, it will be more honest to just say I will be enjoying all the football food. :0)

Kids need PE shoes and Library books tomorrow.

A HUGE thank you to Ty for leaving me a temptation gift on my desk last night. Too funny! As some of you know, I USED to be heavily addicted to Mountain Dew. I quit cold turkey about a month ago. I made a bet with the kids that if they ever saw me with a Dew again, I would owe all of them $100 in fake money. I have yet to fold!!!! I actually went down to Mr. Casey and blamed him for tempting me cuz he was telling the kids they should do that. Turns out, it was one of my own. So….Casasha has tempted me with her Mountain Dew shirt and now Ty with his pop can. They sure are tempting me, but I am resisting!!!!! Yay Ms. Erickson!!!!



Have a wonderful night and hope to see you at the Reef.
Ms. Erickson

P.S. A weird side note…I don't normally wear boy swim-shorts over my swimsuit, but I just feel weird around students otherwise. Dorky, but that is just me. :0)
