Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a rough, but fun day, as the kids were wound up from the holiday yesterday. Hopefully things mellow out as we close out the week and send home report cards tomorrow (on Friday the 13th, no less. How ominous!)
Please remember that report cards represent just the first third of our year together, and that the kids have done a tremendous job adjusting to the pace of a much more rigorous academic schedule. Kids will fine tune their skills as the year progresses, and this first report card does not always look as good as we would like them to look. (Disclaimer: the grades look good as a whole, but we all know the kids can do better when they apply themselves to their potential and take responsibility for their themselves.) OK, my soapbox moment is over.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- math 9.3
- reading log
- ocean animal reports due tomorrow in final draft form
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday and Wednesday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. It is my sincerest hope that each of you have a peaceful and restful Veterans Day Holiday tomorrow. I will be out of the classroom on Thursday, working at the District Office on math assessments. Mrs. Abelar will be here in my place, and the kids are looking forward to having her around for the day.
The kids are responsible for the following in the next two days:
- reading log
- finish explorer art (if necessary)
- a nature log entry
- catch up with The Witches packet (if necessary)
- ocean animal reports are still due on Friday

Hello New Week
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are officially into our second trimester. We had a chat today about what to expect from report cards now that they have letter grades on them, and I think I might have scared a few kids. Oh well, Friday will come soon enough.
We started a new social studies unit on Early California Explorers today that will segue into the Mission System. I am going to go light on the Mission studies this year, and we will be making mission brochures rather that full mission reports.
Blue Folders have second trimester AR goals. Please be on the lookout for them.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- reading log
- math 9.2
- blue folder
- ocean animal report is due no later than Friday
