Reminders

Hello there. We have ventured into the SE region of the United States. Practice maps came home yesterday for the upcoming states and capitals quiz in a couple of weeks. Last time, many kids knew the states and capitals but had trouble getting them in the right place. Hopefully this map will help. I suggested to them that they print/trace a blank map and practice writing the names and capitals in the correct spot.

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. Has your child made their bag or box? They need to bring this to school this Friday, not before. Students also need to bring in their completed valentine for each student and any supplies they agreed to for their committee. All committees met again today to make sure everyone was on the same page. Thanks again Mrs. Jensen and Mrs. Davis!!

My sister and nephew will be arriving from California on Friday so I will be out Monday and Tuesday of next week. Class will go on without me as usual. No worries there.

We will be oovooing with our pen-pals in North Carolina and a friend from Florida in the upcoming weeks to discover how life over in the SE differs from Montana! We will also have a visitor from MCC doing a live presentation.

Lastly, in March, we will be filming/producing our first School News live broadcast. We will be using an internet tool called ustream to broadcast live. This is going to be a weekly production and a great experience for all. I will send home the link address and you too can tune in from work or home and watch us live!!! Wow!!

I have added the new book order to the online site if your child would want to order this month. You can also send in the order with a check. Please no cash. Thanks.

Have a great night!
