Monday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Now that the report card fallout has subsided, we are full steam ahead with our final trimester together. We are beginning our exploration of the Gold Rush tomorrow. We'll begin reading By the Great Horn Spoon by Sid Fleischman, and then get into a very fun Gold Rush mining simulation next week. We will be wrapping up our work with land biomes this week. We have just two left to look at and work through. With that, the kids will have a full week to complete their biome packets and study for their closed-book exam on Friday, March 26. We'll have an ample amount of time to write this grading period, and Tuesday brings a unique subject matter for the kids to engage with. Ideally, we'd like to turn the efforts into books for the May 1st Book Faire @ the Capitola Mall. We'll see how things go.

For tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- reading log
- math 19.1
- reading practice book pages 331 - 332

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
