Howdy all and thanks to those of you who attended last night's Open House. It's rare to get everyone at school at the same time, so it was great to see those who could make it.
We have scheduled next Wednesday evening as BBQ Night @ Cole's. The event will be from 5:30 - 7:30!
I sent home second and final notices for permission slips to both the KOA and beach events with students who have not submitted them as of yet. These need to be submitted no later than Tuesday, May 29th. Be cool and get these in, please!
Enjoy the long weekend. I know will.
Respectfully,
Mr. B

OPEN HOUSE SHEENANIGANS!!!!
Holy cow, these weeks are flying by. The WWII reports have been jaw-droppingly good. The kids are psyched about their work, and the class, for the most part, have proven to be a respectful and gracious audience.
Open House is this evening, so assigning homework would just about be the craziest things ever. The classroom will be open from 6:30 - 8. The kids have prepared some amazing things for everyone to see, I will also have a mini-science lab set up with an ocean theme. I've been telling the kids that I am presenting a report of the The Fish of WWII! I hope to see as many folks tonight as possible.
Just a reminder, of which there will be many, many more....our classroom BBQ @ Cole's is next wednesday from 5:30 - 7:30. I'll be pouring drinks and waiting on tables, so come laugh with us and have some good grub.

Tuesday and such
Again, a stellar set of WWII reports. The kids are really outdoing themselves with their efforts and presentations. The class has been extremely supportive of each other and are taking the time to compliment each other and ask engaging questions.
Students are responsible for the following work tonight:
-California pages 290 -292 and CA workbook page 72
-Science workbook page 121
Both assignments were started in class today.
Please be aware that proof of residency forms are due to school by tomorrow. If you need a replacement form, they are available on the school website.
Wednesday brings presentations from Sarah, Tyler, Gwen, Adam Lauren & Caleb. It's a restructure day, so we won't be doing much more than sharing reports.

Monday's fun and more...
Wow! The brave souls who were assigned presentations for today's report did not disappoint! Cool Power Point presentations, awesome maps, a puppet show on, of all things, fascism and a couple very engaging games of Jeopardy! Kudos to everyone. They have set the bar high and early.
Homework will continue to be light this week. The kids were assigned some reading tonight from their California texts (pp 281 -283) and will need to complete the accompanying workbook page 71.
Tuesday brings us reports from Shayla, Brandon, Logan, Madison, Connel, Daisy & Hannah.
Open House is shaping up quite nicely. We'll have all of our WWII work out, poetry to enjoy, and some science stations to explore. I've done some work with the Monterey Bay Aquarium this year, so I am anxious to share some of my learnings with the class and have fun with fish, etc. I'll have the classroom open from 6:30 - 8ish, and hope to see everyone there.
There is a "Great Horn Spoon" quiz on Tuesday (chapters 4 - 7), a "Yonwood" quiz on Thursday, and the year end math assessment on Friday.
Our Jogging for the Arts time is Friday @ 9:45. That and some Paper Airplane info went home in today's Red Folders.
