Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Notes for today include the following:
1.) We will be having a spelling and fractions quiz tomorrow. The kids know what to study, and they should be a breeze.
2.) Nearly all the kids have submitted their permission slips for the symphony trip on Monday, and I've included the list of drivers here on the blog as well. I've a similar list for Thursday's trip to Ano Nuevo up as well. I will be sending out a call to families on Sunday and Wednesday reminding everyone of the following day's activities.
3.) We are very near the end of this grading period. I will accept any late work (as noted on the progress reports up through next Thursday, March 4. Work submitted beyond that date cannot be included in this reporting period.
4.) We completed the readings of two books this week, James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl and The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau. We have begun the sequel to Ember, and will get into some fun Gold Rush literature after next week.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- reading log
- reading practice book page 268
- math 17.5
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Wednesday & the Symphony
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Here are a few notes of interest for you:
1.) We have enough drivers for Monday's trip to the symphony, so we are a go. I'll add the list of drivers to the blog (along with the number of available seats in each car). The kids were told today that permission slips will be accepted until Friday of this weeks. Students who do not submit permission slips by this time will be spending Monday in a 6th or 3rd grade classroom, as the 4th and 5th grades are all attending the symphony with us.
2.) The interweb safety presentation this morning raised a great deal of questions from the kids. Please attend tonight's presentation if you have questions or concerns regarding what was shared.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- reading log
- math 17.4 (its a challenging set, so the kids were told to complete what they could. We'll be going over the questions one-by-one tomorrow to clear up comprehension issues.
- reading practice book page 274
- math problem of the week for Mrs. Mitchener
- bring library books that are due

Monday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. A few notes for you all:
1.) We have the opportunity to attend a performance of the Santa Cruz Symphony next Monday. Unfortunately, the timing falls on the same week that we have our trip to Ano Nuevo to view the elephant seals in their habitat. My concern lies in taxing the parents who have volunteered their time on Thursday's trip to volunteer additional time on Monday. If you are able to attend either or both of next week's trips, please check over the permission slip in today's Blue Folders for details and let me know ASAP. If things work out, I will notify families later this week as to our final plans for attendance of the symphony.
2.) Wednesday we will be having an assembly for students regarding interweb safety. Our assembly will be from 9 - 10 in the morning. An assembly for the parents will be offered in the evening (from 6:30 to 8 in the MPR). A yellow flyer is accompanying each child home today. Please check it for specifics.
3.) The yearbook sale has been extended until tomorrow. If you have not ordered a yearbook, and wish to secure the lower price, order forms are available in the office.
4.) We've added some interesting pics from last's weeks trip and science experiment to our Shutterfly page. Check the link below and to the right to access them.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- reading log
- reading practice book pages 270 & 271
- math 17.2
- spelling and vocabulary words were made available to each student today. Spelling quiz is this Friday, with California vocabulary being quizzed upon the following Friday.
