Bitterroot is having a coin drive. One of our families at Bitterroot recently lost their home and all of their belongings to a fire. The class of the student who was affected wanted to help out. They decided to collect coins and then donate them to the family to help pay for items needed. If you would like to help, then please send any change to school with your child. We greatly appreciate your generosity and we know the family will also.
Thank you,
The Bitterroot Staff

Vacation is almost here!
It's hard for me to believe that there are only 10 days left before our winter break. Today we are going on a field trip to the Moss Mansion. It will be decorated for Christmas and we are excited to see it and learn about its history.
We have quite a bit to do before we vacation. We are about finished with our novel, Stepping on the Cracks. We've enjoyed reading this and as we read we have worked on many concepts such as analogies, cause/effect, character analysis, compare/contrast, and finding main ideas of the chapter to include in our summaries. Yesterday we took our math chapter 3 test. We will begin chapter 4--Adding and Subtracting Fractions. Next week the PTA will be having Santa's Workshop. The children can bring a list of people they need to shop for and money and buy presents. They usually have a great selection to choose from and reasonable prices. Everyone wins! Our lass will go to Santa's workshop on Tuesday, Dec. 16 from 8:30-9:00.
I wish all of you peace.
