While I appreciate those of you lobbying for me loop the class up to fifth grade, I do not have the clout or pull to guarantee such a reality. The reality, as it stands now, is that there will be 2 flat 5th grade classrooms, and one 4/5 combination. The fifth grade teaching staff is one that is fortunate enough to not be affected by the mass of layoffs @ Rio, and none of them have expressed an interest in switching grades. Therefore, if I am to return to Rio next year, it will be as a fourth grade teacher. Sorry to disappoint a few of you, but that is the crumbling cookie as of 5/28/09.

Howdy all
We are making great progress with our two murals. If you have time to stop by and check them out, they are in the upper quad area. If not, I'll post pictures here early next week.
Friday bring the Rio Mini-Olympics. Should be a fun day of sports and (hopefully) good sportsmanship! Each of the kids are receiving a t-shirt for participating.
Our final week of school begins on Monday! We are all breathing a big sigh of relief. If folks are interested in walking to the beach with us on Tuesday, we'll be leaving at 8:30 and returning by 10:45. I will post a list of drivers for Wednesday's KOA day no later than Monday. I'll post friendly reminders about what kids can and cannot bring to the beach day and KOA day on Monday as well.
Have a great weekend. I am dying to see 'UP'. It looks amazing. Hopefully report cards go quickly enough to allow be to go see it.

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. The kids were insane today, after our groovy three-day holiday. Hopefully everyone is feeling rested and recharged for these last few days of school.
I'm holding the sending home of Orange Folders until the last day of school. There were too many still not returned today from last week. Please make sure they are returned soon, as the final folders will have a bunch of goodies in 'em, including report cards.
We'll be painting our murals this Thursday and Friday. I asked the kids to bring a junky tshirt that they don't mind getting dirtied, as the paint we will be using does not wash off clothing. Keep the new sneakers at home those days as well.
Friday brings a morning of mini-Olympics. We still need consent forms from Ryan and Shaniah! Please get them in immediately.
We also need Beach Clean Up permission slips from Laura and Navid.
Have a good one, Mr. Bryant
