Tuesday and beyond

Howdy all. Oh man, what a day. You gotta love the energy level of a classroom full of kids coming back from a three-day weekend. Note the sarcasm.
We had a rather writing intensive day as the kids were made aware of their ocean animal research reports. We had a scheduling snafu with the laptops, so the kids will not be bringing home their assignments and templates / examples until tomorrow (Wednesday). Please be on the look out for them.
The students will have a math test this Friday, with a pre-test heading home on Thursday. Thursday brings us our California social studies test. This first social studies test will be an open-book adventure. The kids will have both an "Island of the Blue Dolphin" and "Matilda" comprehension quiz during the week. We have foregone a vocabulary study unit for this shorter week.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

-Reading Log (due this Friday)
-Math lesson 13 (1-26)
-California Reflections workbook pages 10-11
-Green Folders signed and returned. Those wishing to place book orders have until Friday, September 14th to return forms and $ to class.

Respectfully, Mr. B
