Thursday and Friday

Howdy all. I realise that the students are neck deep in their ocean animal reports, so I am forgoing the normal homework load tonight and will have students responisble for the following:

-Ocean Animal reports (if absolutely necessary, art work can come to school on Monday. Reports must be submitted tomorrow)
-Reading Log (due Friday, signed by parent)
-James and the Giant Peach vocabulary 1

As a friendly reminder, students have two quizzes tomorrow. One will involve the James and the Giant Peach vocabulary for the week. The second will encompass what we have studied with the Native Californian indian tribes. Again, students will be allowed to use their study guides with this quiz, not their texts.

Respectfully, Mr. B

Wednesday, reminders and a poll

Howdy all. I get feedback from folks from time-to-time regarding the content and usefulness of this blog. Please take a moment to respond to the poll that has been added to the page. It will take a simple click or two.
In case you missed yesterday's post, I'd ask you to scroll down and read through what the students can expect in the next two days in terms of classwork and exams.

Students are responsible for the following material tonight:

- Reading Log (due Friday)
- Math 5A
- Reading practice book pages 89 & 90
- California practice book pages 21 -23

**Please remember that library books are due back to school tomorrow**

Respectfully, Mr. B

Tuesday and stuff

Howdy all. The week is moving along well, and we are accomplishing much. Still, there is much to anticipate this week. For example, the class will be completing their current unit with math tomorrow and will be taking home pretest 5A for Wednesday night. The class was also given a new vocabulary sheet for James and the Giant Peach this week that is expected to be turned in on Friday. The students will be quizzed that same day. Wednesday and Thursday will wrap up our studies of Native Californians. Students will be tested on the materials that we have covered in these past three weeks on Friday. They will be allowed to use the study guides they created in class to aide them, but not their textbook. And, last but not least, ocean animal reports and 3-D artwork are due on Friday. We are very near completing our Power Point presentations on the laptops, and will spend one additional computer hour finalizing the projects next Tuesday.

Students are responsible for the following work tonight:

-Reading Log (due Friday)
-math lesson 29 (10-27)
-Reading workbook pages 82-83
-James and the Giant Peach creature interview
(all work was started in class)

Respectfully, Mr. B
