Tuesday 8/18

Thanks for checking in. The restructured school day is always an odd one, especially now that it is falling at the beginning of the week. I think that I am going to miss the good old short Wednesday.

Our short story of the week is entitled "Akiak", and it is about an Alaskan sled dog competing in the Iditarod. Its an exciting story, and the kids have enjoyed the work that focuses on the race.

We are trudging through math, using a new district mandated curriculum. It is not my favorite, but the kids seem to be working with it quite well.

Tonight, the class is responsible for the following:

- reading log
- math practice pages 5,6,7 & 8
- reading practice book pages 6-7

Again, I will attempt to offer the kids a few minutes at the end of each day to begin their homework (in an attempt to clarify understanding, etc.), so not everyone will be bringing the full list of work home each day.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
