Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Great day today! The kids are very engaged with our new literature study, The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. We'll be exploring it together for the next few weeks.

I've heard from a few parents that the homework assignments have been confusing and that the kids have been bringing home the wrong materials, etc. I am taking a greater deal of time at the end of each school day now to ensure that kids are properly filling out their planners and that they have the required books, etc. to complete their homework.

Tomorrow brings us further into The Phantom Tollbooth, as well as some math and an artist study on Camille Pissarro. I'm looking forward to another great day.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

4th grade:

- Saxon 14
- Reading Practice book pages 14 & 15 (sentence types)

5th grade:

- Saxon 14
- Reading Practice book page 17 (adding details)

Both grades will need to finish their nature logs (if they haven't done so already), as I will be collecting their efforts tomorrow.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
