Wednesday

Howdy folks, and thanks for checking in. Wow, what a difference a day makes! The kids and I are working very hard to be respectful of each other and to do our best every day. Today was miles better than yesterday. We had some very cool discussions surrounding food chains and webs, as well as studied the Hupa Indian tribe. The kids are working diligently at creating some awesome Native Californians books. We even had energy to begin working on the first part of our cave paintings.

Many of you have inquired about picture day next Monday. I'm sorry, but the studio has not provided us with order forms as of yet. I will send them home with kids as soon as I receive them. Our appointment time on Monday is 10:45.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- reading log
- continue studying spelling words
- math 4.4, pages 33 & 34
- some kids may need to finish science practice book pages 70 & 71

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Amongst those of importance are a field trip permission slip, a new reading log, Scholastic Book Club forms, information regarding Student / Parent Conferences and the Harvest Festival. Check it out, and please send folders back in a timely manner.

I have posted two extra credit opportunities for students who are interested in attending cultural or environmental functions this weekend.
