Wednesday and the aquarium

Howdy all. A friendly reminder that Thursday brings us both our visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the classroom assessment for our Native Californians unit. The kids have done an amazing job creating study guides that they will have access to during the test. Still, I've gone light on the homework tonight in the hopes that they will review their efforts in the study guide as a means of preparing for Thursday. I will be collecting their completed study guides on Friday once we bind them. Thursday I will be collecting the pages they have completed in their Reflections practice book.

We will be leaving, hopefully, by 9:45 Thursday morning for the aquarium. Each student will need to bring a sack lunch. Students may choose to bring cameras or notebooks to record information about the ocean animal they are studying, but they are optional. Students will not need any money for this trip, as they will not be visiting the gift shops. Drivers and chaperones will need to be at school by 9:30. I will provide directions to the aquarium, as well as parking options for the area at that time.

The students are responsible for the following tonight:

-Reading Log
-Reading practice pages 89 -90 on nouns
-study for Native Californians quiz
-bring a sack lunch for Thursday

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
