We had a great time making our Montana state map cookies. I always love this project because kids really get a good picture of what features are found in Montana. They also see that most of the major cities are found in the Western part of Montana in the mountains and by rivers. Why???? I ask. Ask your kiddo why this is. If they can tell you because it is so beautiful and that there is a lot to do then write WHY in the planner for $20. I took a picture of each kiddo and their cookie before they devoured it to put in their MT History journal. Here are a few samples of what they did. Fun!
It was great to see so many of you this morning at the Veteran's Day concert. Wasn't that so great?? I was glad I was in the back because I teared up both times. Amazing!!! When the lights were out and the candles were lit with the old flag in the background I was just so touched. Great job 4th and 5th graders!!! I am sure the Veterans sitting in the front were very touched! I tip my hat to Mrs. Waddell. Job well done there for sure!
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day. We will be doing a few activities to drive this holiday home. We will do a timeline to show us the history of it, watch a video on the poppy flower and discover what part it plays in the holiday, and then do a buddy activity dealing with art.
I will be gone in the afternoon. Zach and I will be listening to our sweet little one's heartbeat. Mrs. Young is the sub. She is great. The class will do some science and social studies.
Tomorrow is supposed to be even more cold with even more snow. Kids that do not bring a winter coat and a hat will not be going outside. I told them this today…by the way they are saying you say it is ok. I am not sure I am buying that one when it is this cold out. Please remind them to stay warm so they can stay healthy and at school. Being sick is no fun!
Homework tonight is to study for the upcoming states and capital's test on Friday and to do a math sheet. Sections 5, 6, 7, and 10 are challenge homework. With a little bit of help from home or from watching a youtube video not eh subject most kiddos should be able to get it. Some kids are just ready to push forward on their own or with a little bit of help. Not ready…no problem. They are optional. The rest of the sheet is homework though. They are all a review of things we did in class so far or did in the 3rd grade. Help should not be needed for sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, or 9. Thanks.
Have a great, great night!
Mrs. Grewell
