Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. I'm posting late in the hopes that your children have already shared with you what I am going to write here. Last night one of our classmates lost his father in a motorcycle accident. We spent a great deal of our morning attempting to reconcile what has happened, and the kids wanted to share their experiences with loss and concentrate on sending positive thoughts to Rowan, his brother and mom in their time of grief. There are never the right words to express in moments like this, but the family knows we care a great deal for them. A few Rio parents are organizing a meal schedule so that we can help out where we can. We've organized for grief counselors to be on campus tomorrow, and they will be speaking with our class.
I also need to let everyone know that the classroom was exposed to Strep this past Friday. We have quite a few kids out this week with illness, so hopefully its not making the rounds.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
4th 5th
- Saxon 40 - Saxon 41
- continue with Lit Circles - continue with Lit Circles
- continue with vocabulary - continue with vocabulary
take care, Mr. Bryant
