Howdy all! I'm writing from my conference because I forgot completely to get back to folks regarding something we read at Mission San Juan Bautista. The word "monjerio" came up during the scavenger hunt that the kids participated in, and I honestly could not recall its meaning. Well, for all interested parties, the word is used to describe a dormitory for young girls. Consider yourself knowledgeable.
BTW, Mrs. Abelar tells me the kids had a very nice day. I'm glad to know it.
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Mission fun
Howdy all! I just wanted to leave a quick note thanking everyone for a very special day. The kids had a wonderful day at San Juan Bautista. We were able to see first-hand all of the goodies we had learned about in compiling our reports. The above photo shows a few of the kids playing in a trough in the stables.
I know that a few of the kids took materials home to work on, but I am foregoing the posting of homework until tomorrow.
Have a great afternoon, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday's Field Trip Info
Howdy all,
The kids had some questions regarding Tuesday's trip to San Juan Bautista that I would like to clarify for everyone here.
Students:
-everyone needs to bring a sack lunch,
-cameras are permitted,
-no need to bring additional $, as we've already paid for admission,
-a jacket might be a good idea, as valley weather is often different from ours,
-we'll be in small groups, exploring the mission and surrounding grounds, &
-each group will have a mission scavenger hunt to complete.
Drivers / chaperons:
-you'll need a sack lunch as well,
-bring a jacket
-we'll be leaving school as near to 9 as possible. The following folks have graciously volunteered their energy and time: Laura Cook, Holly Maixner, Evan Field, Mary Squires, Ellie Amarlou, Bill Peck, the Perrys, and Julie Roberson. We'll be organizing seat / car assignments Tuesday morning in case our driver list changes on Monday. Seeing as students from all fourth grade classrooms are attending, we may have students from multiple classrooms in one car.
This trip is genuinely interesting. I hope that each of you enjoy it, and walk away with a greater understanding of the mission than could be covered in our social studies books and reports.
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
