Howdy all. Well the biome quiz seemed to go off without a hitch today. Hopefully tomorrow's gold rush quiz is just as stress-free for them.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-math 89 (all)
-study for spelling and gold rush quizzes
-Great Horn Spoon and biome packets are due tomorrow

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

This week and test info!

Howdy all, I will be out of the classroom at the beginning of the week, but will return on Thursday. The kids are in the very capable hands of Ms. Weston while I am in Sacramento.

I hope that each of you were able to review your child's report card. I know that we are all obsessed with grades, but take an equally serious look at the effort portions. I'd appreciate signed report card envelopes to be returned to the classroom in your child's orange folder as soon as possible.

As far as testing is concerned this week, we have have two sizable exams looming. The kids were made aware on Friday what they should be looking at to prepare themselves. For the Gold Rush exam, the kids should be reviewing sections 1-5 of their Gold Rush game packets. For the land biome test, they should be studying their land biome notes from our work in class.

I am allowing time in my absence for the following homework assignments to be started in class with Ms. Weston. So, depending on the level of effort the kids put forth during the day, they may not be bringing all of this work home.

Monday:
-reading log
-math 86 (all)
-reading practice book pages 295 - 297 (spelling for the week)
-Reflections practice book page 71

Tuesday:
-reading log
-math 87 (all)
-reading practice book pages 291 - 292 (cause and effect)
-Reflections practice book pages 72 -75

Wednesday;
-reading log
-math 88 (all)
-Morse code message
-reading practice book pages 299 & 300

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
