Owls In the Family Final Book Project.

We summarized and acted out the odd chapters, and Mrs. Brucker's class did the same for the even. Wow! We learned/remembered a lot!

What is my kid learning in Music Class??


Wow! Who knew that two Wii remotes set up just right could create this kind of interactive whiteboard for your child to learn on? Mr. Goodheart is amazing! What a great way to learn the four space notes and five line notes! Not to mention the character traits of encouragement, patience, and teamwork! Wow, no wonder we are known in the community for being a leader in becoming a true technology school! And, yes that is what they are saying about Bitterroot!!

This morning we also got a surprise oovoo visit from Rusty! He called in to just check on us and see how we are all doing. He even asked how Abby's mom was feeling after her surgery, how the dentist was for Lailyn, Jordan, Mikaela, and Natalie, and he talked pretty serious to Paige and how sorry he was to hear that her grandmother passed away. This was a very powerful connection to these kids! Neat to see!

When reading the writing journals today, (which I love by the way-hilarious!), I discovered some wishes to add some pretty interesting subjects to our academic day. They included the following: hockey class, hunter's safety, football class, home-ec, wood class, game time, mathology, Wii learn, firefighter class, first pioneer class, hubb (cooking) class, papermate class, candybar making, stranger danger class, softball, how to play video game class, doll clothes design class, pet styling class, and of course we can't leave out the ever so popular deer cooking class, and cow patty cooking class! HILARIOUS!!!

Have a great evening and I hope we have started to form a plan for those MT History projects due next Tuesday! Have a blast making memories with your kid!
