Hi there. Another great day in the land of Erickson. :0)

We were unable to do our talents today due to having library this morning. We watched the movie this afternoon. That left us no free time to squeeze it in. We will get them all in on Friday. Keep practicing in the meantime kiddos.

Tomorrow is our Fossil Dig Field Trip. I sure am hoping that I am feeling better. I have been fighting a cold since Monday. Don't want to miss the field trip, but also thinking it might not be the smartest move for me to be out in 50 degree weather either. Right now Bridger weather report is stating it will be cold and wet in the afternoon. I am really hoping that it holds off. Please send your child to school with the notion that we ARE going. If something happens, we will just stay at school. So, bring lunches, hats, sunscreen (apply at home), and wear those long pants and tennis shoes. The bus leaves right away and will be back around 2ish. DON'T FORGET YOUR ELECTRONICS FOR THE BUS RIDE!!!!

Now that I have reported the happy news, I will switch to the not so happy news. Mr. Senitte has taken a position at Alkali Creek Elementary School next year. His amazing leadership skills are needed there. Bitterroot will gain Mr. English. While we HATE losing Mr. Senitte, we welcome Mr. English. He comes with a lot of experience and love for kids. He is just returning from a military leave overseas as well. We can't wait to meet him. Please help me in welcoming him next year, and by saying goodbye to Mr. Senitte. A letter is coming home today explaining this as well. We wish him all the luck in the world, and NO you may not transfer your angel to Alkali next year!!!! :0)

Have a great night!
