Tomorrow is Baby Egg Day in honor of Mother's Day. Both 4th grades get the chance to experience mother/father hood for a day. Kids need to remember to bring in their cribs. Students will receive a Social Studies grade at the end of the day depending on what kind of shape their child ends up in. Students may buy medical insurance first thing in the morning for $50. This is the only time they may buy it. That way if baby gets hurt it will only cost $10 instead of $20 for a bandaid. They also need to keep their eyes on their baby at ALL times because it may get kidnapped by the mean Ms. Erickson. They will have to pay up a $50 ransom fine to get it back each time. They also have the option to have their friends babysitt their egg if need be for $50. There is no FREE babysitting allowed. I will take pictures of your grand-baby eggs in the morning after they come alive. :0) At the end of the day, they will write letters to moms sharing their real world experience. Many figure out very quickly how much time kids take, and how much money they cost. You are welcome. :0)
Tomorrow is also NEON day here at Bitterroot. Kids may wear all the neon they can find. Remember no hair or face paint. Wigs are ok though, as is hunter's orange gear. Kids that make a HUGE effort to show their school spirit will earn $500. Those that show some effort will earn $100. GO BITTERROOT!
Many kids came home with a long division practice sheet. We discovered today that you don't have to go through the whole process if the first number can't be divided. Instead of putting a zero up top, they can just move over and divide the two digit number. This is transferring their 4th grade skills into 5th grade. We had some frustrations, but they need to master this. Practice, practice.
Have a wonderful evening!!!!
