OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT

I hope to see all of you here tonight for our formal open house. There are three sessions to choose from for my class: 6-6:25, 6:30-6:55, or 7-7:25 pm. All teachers have this same schedule for families with multiple students attending Bitterroot. I will present the same information in all sessions. Please come with questions. Individual conferences can be scheduled for private information on individual students. I hope, hope, hope to see ALL of you tonight. I will be going over a lot of useful information about how to help your child succeed in my classroom. See ya soon!

Song Of The Week-This Is My First Job.

How Super Cool Is This?

Today in class we were able to use our computer to oovoo, call live, Rusty from the morning show that we watch every morning together. He will be coming to Bitterroot next month for assemblies. This was such an amazing opportunity! I bet more students will have their questions ready and turned in before the next time we do this so they, too, can get in front of Rusty. After today's show they were pumped to the max!!!!! One proud moment for me to watch!

As you can see, even Mr. Senitte got in on the action! schooltools.tv

Take Home Folders

Hello. Please make sure you ask for your child's take home folder tonight. Inside you should find their three language quizzes, their spelling skill worksheet, and their Obama address permission form. I changed the directions for the Obama sheet. We added another line that says, Yes, my child may watch the address. I would like ALL sheets to come back, yes or no. Students will earn $100.00 if it is returned tomorrow. If your child is in Read 180 or Language programs they will not have the language quizzes or spelling homework.

Saturday Live at Pioneer Park is coming up quickly. Our school does a Candy Shack. Therefore, we ask that each child donate two bags of candy. Candy needs to be individually wrapped and NOT chocolate. Chocolate melts, and the teachers end up having to eat it all! :0) Students in my class will earn $100 for each bag brought in. Examples might be lollypops, dots, skittles, etc. Thanks so much for this. All earned money goes back to the kids eventually.

Have a wonderful evening. Jacob, I hope you are feeling better tomorrow. I missed you in class today! Kaleb, glad to see you back and feeling better today!
