Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Hopefully our break has found each of you rested and healthy. Here is what is in store for the next week:
1.) We are participating in an on-line expedition of the Clipperton Atoll. We will be able to interact with scientists from Cabrillo and Long Marine Lab as they conduct field research of this remote and biologically unique island in the East Pacific Ocean. You are welcome to check out their website at www.cabrillo.edu/~ncrane.
2.) We've been having a rough time with being a little too cut-throat during our Golden Gulch Gold Rush simulation, but we will persevere. We should wrap up our game / study in the next week, and the kids will have a Gold Rush exam on Friday, April 23.
3.) We will finish our reading of The Great Horn Spoon around the same time, and then transition into our World War II literature studies.
4.) The kids have spelling and vocabulary words this week. Spelling is from "Salmon Summer", and vocabulary is from the Gold Rush. Both will be quizzed upon this Friday, April 16th.
5.) We'll be taking a break from nature logs while kids work on their science projects. The second check-in is due on Wednesday, and consists of the hypothesis and procedure steps.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- reading log (due Friday)
- math 21.4 (kids were given graph paper to complete the assignment)
- reading practice book pages 356 & 357 (spelling for the week)
- Gold Rush vocabulary
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
