Hi there. What a weird day. The minute we walked in from recess, which was almost HOT, it started raining. Once again, gotta love Montana.
Speaking of Montana, the states and capitals test for the west is this Friday. That is in two days. Students will need to match them and also know where they are located on a map. The 50 states and capital's test was going to be on Monday, but I have moved it to Wednesday. There are a few more review things I want to do first. A study sheet will come home this weekend.
Tomorrow is our field trip for the History Day. We will travel to Hardin first thing, so please have kids on time. We will not wait, as we have a tight schedule to keep once we are there. All kids are going. Kids MUST have on walking shoes (NO FLIPFLOPS or SANDALS). Hats are great and some sunscreen might also be wise. Kids also MUST have their sack lunch and drink. Kids are encouraged to being an electronic devise for the bus ride. Please make sure they are fully charged tonight. We will not be able to charge them midday. All electronics are the responsibility of the owner and need to be kept in backpacks while on the actual field trip.
A BIG thank you to Caden, McLean, Haylee, Jen, and Max's mom and dads for volunteering to help out with field day. HOWEVER, when Mr. Pertuit called you today, I think he roped you into helping tomorrow for the walk/run day. This is GREAT, and he needs your help, but that is not what I told you. He DOES need help on field day as well, next Monday, for field day. Remember, we will NOT be participating with you tomorrow. Please call or email Mr. Pertuit in the morning if you need to clarify. I told him at lunch today, that I had it right! :0) At any rate….thank you!
Homework tonight is Accelerated Math. Most kids scanned in class today so they do not have any homework tonight. However, there were a few that need to get it done and ready to scan tomorrow morning BEFORE we leave on the trip.
Tuesday folders came home again tonight. There were two important things that needed to reach you. One is the orchestra/band class I was telling you about awhile ago. For $40 bucks you get 3 weeks of lessons. That is awesome. Kids can come in and learn the basics of the instrument they want to play next year and be ahead of the game. Kids do need to have their instruments ready to go, and the class starts the Monday after school is let out. Eckroth and Hansens both have programs to get those. Just stop in and they will get it all set up. I know you can buy out right or rent to own. The other paper is for this weekend. The baseball association is having a Saturday fun day. For $5 you can have lunch and support a great cause. There is also games and bouncy houses to entertain the kids. I am very curious as to what is being built over here in the fields. Could it be a restroom????? There have been many times I was glad that I was a teacher here when I needed one. :0) Please sign folders again and return tomorrow.
I think that about covers it. Have a wonderful night!
Ms. Erickson
