Have a Monstrously Good Weekend!

The kindergartners had a wonderful first week.  I am sure they will be tired this weekend.  Have fun, and we'll see you Tuesday!

My Teacher Should Be...

The kindergartners have been doing a wonderful job in school!  We have talked a lot about rules and expectations of kindergartners.  Today we brainstormed ideas of what the kindergartners expected of their teacher.  They had some great ideas.  I am looking forward to getting to know them and you better this year!

Beartooth Kindergarten Changes

Beartooth kindergarten will have a very new look this year. To address overcrowding issues in our school, we plan to have 4 kindergarten teachers who will be team teaching in 3 classrooms.  Each kindergarten child will be assigned a home room teacher that will be the main teacher for that child.  Your child will have many teachers who will work with him or her to best meet each students' needs. We are excited about this model and INVITE ALL KINDERGARTEN PARENTS to meet on Monday, August 26th at 4:30pm (before Meet Your  Teacher Night) for more details.

Kindergarten teachers this year are:
Mrs. Paige Bealer, Mrs. Traci Piltz, Mrs. Calli Rusche-Nicholson and Mrs. Melisa Sigurdson.  While Mrs. Bealer and Mrs Rusche-Nicholson are new to Beartooth, they have experience both in and outside of Billings Public Schools, and will be a great asset to our school.
