Monday & the week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are off and running with our last week of Gold Rush studies. We'll be finishing the Great Horn Spoon on Wednesday and Golden Gulch on Thursday. The kids will be quizzed on their Gold Rush knowledge on Friday. The exam is 25 short answer responses.

Blue Folders are full of goodies. Folks should take a look at the California Research report outline. Kids will need to submit a minimum of two report choices by Wednesday for approval. We will have access to the computer lab on Thursday afternoon to begin our research, but most of the report effort will be happening at home.

Wednesday science check in is only for students who are struggling with their effort. If kids need help with their experiment, they will need to meet with me soon in an effort to get on track, as the due date is looming.

If at all possible, please order from one of the Scholastic book catalogs that followed the kids home today. I am attempting to accumulate points toward a new classroom computer. I will leave this order cycle open until the 1st of May, and it will be last order of the school year.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- reading log
- reading practice book pages 376 & 377
- math page 502 (from big book)
- blue folders

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
