Being a Teacher is Like Playing in a Sandbox All Day. Sometimes We Build, and Sometimes We Bury Our Heads.

Hello there.

Last week, Taryn was our star of the week. She is sooooo crafty! I always enjoy listening to her talk about how she did this or that. Loved the picture of her and Grandpa that she made. So cool Taryn. Thanks for sharing with us. This week, we will learn more about Caden. We will do this on Wednesday, as he will not be here on Friday.



Tomorrow is Field Day. I am for sure this time. Mr. Pertuit only has 4 parent volunteers for the afternoon. Yikes! Please call him in the morning if you can do this. He needs help from 12:45 to 3. It is difficult to have it run smoothly without all the adult help. Thanks.

ALL Library books are due THIS Friday. Please remind your child to turn them in as soon as they are done reading them this week.

This weekend, Amanda and her mom ran in the Run for Heaven's Sake race. This is a race that raises money to help families with funeral costs when they lose a child that is less than a year old. She shared it with me because they named their team The BELIEVE Team. What an honor! I am so proud of them for running for such an amazing cause that makes a true difference in the world! Great job Believe Team!



Homework tonight is some language skills. Feel free to check them over. Many are still having troubles with quotations and commas. We will go over them tomorrow. Many kids also didn't finish their MT History today. We learned all about branding today in preparation of the big trip on Thursday. They now know why and how ranchers brand. Ask them to bellow for you. It is different then just the moo. It is when the calf yells for their moms in a straight moo that is continuous.

The kids enjoyed the band concert today. All the different instruments were shown and heard. It was fun to watch their faces when they heard the trombone and trumpets. :0)

Lastly, Rusty posted this on his Facebook page this weekend. Of course I ordered mine immediately. If your child would like one too, let me know the color and send in the cash. They are $15 and come in all sizes. Rusty will be in Billings next week, so he will bring them with him. Pretty cool diamonds!


Have a wonderful evening.
