Wednesday & Thursday

Howdy all, we had a very rough day today. The kids are experiencing issues on the playground and in their neighborhoods that are finding their way into the classroom. We're constantly discussing ways in which to manage these issues in a positive manner, but the kids have opted for the easy eye-for-eye resolution. It's unfortunate, and we are working diligently to work our way through and around the negative. It is certainly upsetting to me to know the kids are purposely antagonizing each other, because I want the classroom to be a safe space for everyone. I need everyone to know that I do not tolerate negative behavior in the classroom, and will address it immediately (when it arises). The kids are well aware of this.

Thursday brings us our first district writing assessment. The kids will be writing on a fictional character of their choosing.

Tonight's homework includes:

-reading log
-math 70
-reading practice book pages 223 - 225 (irregular forms of the verb "be")

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
