Wednesday & Thursday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We have officially completed our State testing, and the kids are thrilled. I won't be assigning homework for the remainder of this week, as the kids should be focusing on their California reports.

Have a great afternoon, Mr. B

Tuesday and testing

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in on this damp day. Math testing went off without a hitch this morning, and the kids walked away feeling confident with themselves and their work. Instead of waiting three days to finish the material on Friday, we'll be completing the math portion tomorrow morning. We will hopefully sidestep some of that testing anxiety by getting it out of the way.

The science projects are looking very good. The kids will begin to share their work tomorrow, and we will have a 4th grade science fair on Friday so that the classes can share their work with each other.

Each year I have the class work on a school beautification project. Last year we completed the monarch mural, with a surfer and the California bear flag happening in previous years. In keeping with our local California theme, the class has voted to paint a mural of the Seacliff Pier and the cement ship. We'll be completing the mural during the last two weeks of school, but will be auctioning off a dedication for the piece at Friday's Boots & Buckles dinner!

Have a great day, Mr. B

Monday and the week

Howdy all, and thanks for stopping in. We are in our final week of STAR testing, and will be wrapping up with two math assessments. One will be Tuesday morning, and the second will fall on Friday. Please make sure your child is present and accountable on these days.

Orange folders have progress reports in them today. Please look them over. Sorry about running low on ink for the last page, but the content is still legible. Please email me with questions.

Science reports are due tomorrow. The kids will be sharing them on Wednesday and Thursday.

Respectfully, Mr. B
