Last month 3rd grade went to the YMCA for swimming safety. The 3rd graders learned a lot and had so much fun.
2nd graders in Mr. Hamilton's class just finished reading "How to catch a Leprechaun" by Adam Wallace. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, the students have been working hard on building their own traps and writing creative stories to go along with them. Great way to spend part of the day leading up to spring break. Lots of fun for all!
5th grade stepped up their reading game during the month of February in order to earn tickets for a Kindle Fire. The Missoula Masons support reading through the Kindle for Books program. These two were our lucky winners this year. Congratulations!

Hello Bonner families! Please see below flyer for Kids Eat Free Meals during Spring Break!
Forty three 8th and 7th grade students competed in the Missoula Math Contest at the University of Missoula campus on Tuesday. Students took 3 individual tests and then joined some of their classmates for a team test (pictured). It was a super fun day and inspiring to see so many kids excited about math!!
In social studies we have been studying how mining was a big part of what brought people to Montana. We started with an exploration to see where people came from all around the world to mine for copper in Butte. We also learned about the environmental impacts that the mining has had on Butte. Then we did some mining of our own to extract some precious minerals from a cookie. They were then challenged to try and reclaim their mining site to repair their cookie to look like it did before the mining occurred. They came to the conclusion that it was nearly impossible to repair cookie, but it sure was tasty!

I am so excited to get more books in the hands of our students! Thanks for supporting the Bonner Library.
It was an incredible honor to host Malia Kipp at Bonner School today. Ms. Kipp played for the Lady Griz in the 1990s as the first Indigenous woman from Montana to play Division I basketball on a full-ride scholarship. At that time, she was only one of three in the country. A valuable role model, Ms. Kipp is the subject a documentary called Native Ball, featured this week at the Big Sky Film Festival. Our 8th graders watched the film and met with Ms. Kipp during a Q&A session. The experiences and insights of Ms. Kipp were absolutely inspiring and we are grateful for her generosity!
What a lovely song and picture these TKers shared with me ❤️
Some of my favorite characters!
The 101 day of school was fun and full of Dalmatians!

In Ms. Bridges’ 7th grade Art B Day Boys made a Jackson Pollack inspired artwork. It’s gorgeous!

This week Ms. Barrick’s TK students learned about the peace symbol/sign. They read books about peace, and talked a lot about what peace looks like, both in the world around them and inside of themselves. They created bright, beautiful peace signs for their bulletin board, and will end the week with a guest from the Read for Peace project, and learn about how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. worked to bring peace to our nation.
