Student of the Month

Thank you, Billings Exchange Club!

Thank you to the Billings Exchange Club for providing flags for Beartooth Elementary students last week.  The kids did a wonderful job of saying the Pledge and love their new flags!

Storia eReading app

You will get information in your child's red folder tomorrow about the Scholastic eReading app for kids.  If you are interested and don't have an online code, it is GLD2V.  Download at www.scholastic.com/storiaclubs.  You will start with 5 free eBooks!

PTA Officers Needed

PTA is seeking officers for the 2012-13 school year.  This is such a great way to get involved in your child's education and support what is happening at Beartooth Elementary.  If you are interested or just have questions about what would be expected of you, please contact PTA President Becky Middendorf at pchefbecky@bresnan.net.

Thank you!

Dress Code Reminder

As the weather gets warmer and students are breaking out their shorts and tank tops, please take a moment to review the Student Dress Code and be sure kids are dressing appropriately for school.  Shorts should not be too short, and tank tops should be at least three finger widths thick.  If they are wearing skinny tank tops or spaghetti straps, please be sure to cover up with a shirt or sweatshirt.  Also, remember that flip flops are hard for the kindergartners to play in, and especially on P.E. and music days they should not wear them.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Thanks for your cooperation!

Studying Earth Worms

THANK YOU to the Billings Public Schools Education Foundation for funding our grant to purchase two iPads for our kindergarten classroom!  We are so excited to use them to enhance learning opportunities in our room.

The kindergartners will be traveling to ZooMontana on Thursday, May 3rd.  Cost for the field trip is $5/per student.  We will eat lunch at the zoo, so please plan to pack a lunch that day, or let me know and I will order a sack lunch from the cafeteria.  A permission slip and lunch form were sent home in your child's folder today.  Please return by Friday, April 27th.  If you are available to chaperone, let me know.  We would love to have you join us!  Remember that you will need to complete the background check paperwork required of all volunteers.
