Thanks for checking in

Howdy all. We had a very productive day today. The kids worked diligently on some writing samples, learned some math patterns when working with a million, began a science experiment and started exploring the worlds of producers and consumers. Tomorrow brings us into our first literature study with The Island of the Blue Dolphins!

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

-school dismissal agreement
-math practice book pages 1&2

Respectfully, Mr. B

One day down, 179 to go!

The first day back was a pleasant one. We are fortunate enough to have some real characters in the classroom, and the vibe has been a good one. We went over curriculum today, discussed the year, tackled some math, enjoyed some art, and observed some nature. Tomorrow will give us a fuller opportunity to delve into math, literature and writing.

The kids were sent home with a heapin' helpin' of information from the school, so be on the lookout. Please complete and return the requested forms ASAP.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- Parent Packets
- PE Permission Slip
- select and bring a chapter book to school for Thursday

Respectfully, Mr. B
