Howdy all. Thanks to the kids who brought in leaves for our study today. We learned how to classify them by the shape and edge. Very fun. Speaking of fun, tomorrow afternoon brings us our BIG SPIN assembly to honor students who excelled in academics and modeled good behavior during the second trimester. We'll be in the MPR from 1:15 - 2 if you would like to join us.
The students are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log
-Math 18A
-Biome study guide cover ( needs to include title and name, and should include a color illustration that represents the subject matter.)
Respectfully, Mr. B

Hola Miercoles
Howdy all. I completely neglected to remind the kids to gather a leaves for tomorrow's science experiment. If folks have time, please collect a small lunch sack of leaves that we can use tomorrow. We'll be looking at leaves from deciduous trees only, so no pine needles please! Thanks for the last minute help. It is much appreciated.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log
-Math lesson 95 (all)
-Reading practice book pages 319 & 320 on pronouns

Tuesday Terrors
Howdy all. These kids play the meanest April Fools jokes. I think I was informed that my fly was down about a dozen times. I actually fell for it the first time. And then I was told that a few of the students were moving away at the end of the week, and then the rest were taking extended vacations next week. Such imaginations!
We began our exploratory research for WWII report topics today and about 2/3 of the class has committed to a subject matter. I'll post reminders about timeframes and expectations periodically, but these reports are being structured and written in the comfort of your homes...not in class. A few folks have raised concern about the content of the WWII reports, so I will repeat here what I informed folks of way back at our Back-To-School Night last September. The reports themselves and the subject matter that we deal with in class with our readings and literature studies are simply meant to broaden perspectives of world cutures and events. It is in no way glorifying the idea or effects of war. I know the subject matter is often considered controversial, but in light of the state of the world today, it is more than relevant.
Tomorrow is a short day. Mrs. Sawyer will also be holding her used book sale after school. All books will be a quarter.
Finally, the kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log
-Math lesson 94 (1-20)
-Reading Practice book pages 316 & 317

Welcome Back!
Howdy all. Hopefully the Spring Break fround you each some time to relax and enjoy yourselves. The kids were definitely not excited to be back at school today! Still, we'll move forward with some fun and engaging work during these last months of classes.
The Green Folders are chocked full of goodies today. Please take a moment to review the World War II report and outline that went home. With two exceptions of computer research time that will be made avilable to them in the class, these reports will be completed at home. They will be due on Monday, May 12.
Next Monday will bring information regarding the 4th grade science faire. At that time, with the two rather sizable reports / activities taking place at home, I will limit homework each night to math and a reading log for the remainder of the school year. More information will follow shortly.
The school will be holding a used book sale on Wednesday after school. All books will be a quarter!
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log (in Green Folder)
-Math lesson 93 (1-20)
-Science workbook pages 104 & 105
