I just wanted to express what a joy it has been watching the students present their heritage projects this week. We have eaten delicious food, learned new words in various languages, and heard unforgettable stories. Thank you to each students for sharing a little bit about your heritage with the class! :)

Open House

A HUGE thank you to those that came to Open House. The majority of parents were not able to attend, however, so here is a quick recap of things discussed....

Your child should be reading at least 25 minutes each night... If you want more homework for your child, please encourage them to work on their Super Star Challenge, Accelerated Math (should be up and running shortly), play educational games on my blog, study spelling words, work on their multiplication and division facts, etc.

Please make sure your child has a water bottle and snack each day. Feel free to send a box of snack for your child to keep at school (that way you don't have to worry about sending one each day).

In regards to birthday treats: there are 30 students in our class and NO allergies.

The best way to get a hold of me is either by calling in the morning (I am at school by 6:30 most mornings) or by email throughout the day. My email address is michelw@billingsschools.org

Please be patient with me in regards to volunteering the classroom. I want everyone (who wants to) to have an opportunity to help out in the room, join us on field trips, etc. The first month is tricky, but I promise there will be lots of opportunities as the year progresses. :) So thank you for your patience.

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone who sent items or money for our three Saturday Live baskets. Mary Keeley did a FABULOUS job putting the baskets together. They look wonderful and the kids are so excited!

If you have any further questions, please let me know! I am sending home an Open House packet for those who could not attend in Tuesday Folders.

Have a terrific weekend,
Miss Michel :)

P.S. I hope to see everyone at Saturday Live!
