Monday & progress...

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We have a hectic week in front of us, but we are sure to rock out along the way. Please be mindful of the following:

- Progress reports followed the kids home today. Before you freak out, whether it be good or bad, please be aware that these are snapshots of where your child currently stands academically. We have a full month of school left, and the kids have the opportunity to maintain their efforts or improve upon them.

- There are two permission slips in the Blue Folders today. One for a documentary that I will be sharing with the class, and a second for our KOA field today in June. Please return them in a timely manner.

- We will be completing the balance of the language portion of the state testing tomorrow. Please make sure the kids come to school on time and having eaten a healthy breakfast (something that should happen each school day,regardless).

- There is a Number the Stars quiz on Wednesday. It will cover chapters 1-4. There is a rocks and minerals vocabulary quiz on Friday. The kids were given a study sheet last Monday to work with. It will also be due on Friday.

- The kids have a California Report check in tomorrow. It is not a huge effort, but should reference the following:
1. Subject of Report for example: Golden Gate Bridge
a. first topic (body paragraph) a. design
b. second topic (body paragraph) b. construction
c. third topic (body paragraph) c. usage

Honestly, this is all the kids need to show progress with. Hopefully it will focus their studying and writing.

Other than that, the kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- math 24.1
- reading log (due Friday)
- Blue Folder

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
