insert ominous music and evil laughter here......REPORT CARDS!

Howdy all. Yes, the time is here and report cards are following your children home today. I'll take a quick moment to note that I am extremely impressed with the overall effort of this year's class. The children have made such strides since the beginning of the school year, and the end result for this trimester is awesome. The majority of you will be very happy with report cards. I'm not one to taut the whole Honor Roll thingy, but we have 16 students on the Principal's List (all As) and Honor Roll (all As & Bs). For those of you who are unhappy with your child's report card, please remember that this is just the first of three report periods for the school year and there is ample time for improvements and efforts to amp up. I know that the pace and content of the fourth grade is often a shock, but it would appear that the kids are adjusting, for the most part, with ease. Things only get harder as the year progresses, so please continue to support your kids with their efforts whenever possible.

Students are responsible for the following work tonight:

-Reading Log (due Friday)
-Library books due Friday
-math lesson 48 (1-20)
-Scary Stories should be turned in on Friday as well.

Have a wonderful and relaxing week off. Take time to enjoy each other's company and eat some good grub.
Respectfully, Mr. B

Howdy all. Early word from the classroom is that the kids are managing well with Ms. Landmann.

The week is short, so there will not be any tests, cursive packet, nor spelling words to study.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

-Reading Log (due Frifday)
-Math lesson 46 (all)
-reading workbook pages 162 -163
-finish disenos (maps of home, fully labeled and colored)
-Green Folders signed and returned
