Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a very hectic day, full of art and adventure. we had a groovy time with lifeguards from the State Parks Dept. While the kids learned much regarding water safety, etc., I think they were most impressed with the 'vomit vacuum'. Be sure to inquire about its usage! One of the students was kind enough to share an impression that her grandfather took of a Bigfoot print. Very interesting discussion regarding legend vs. fact, with lots of opinions floating about. Math has taken a fun turn for a majority of the class, as we turn our attention to coordinate pairs and graphing.
Thursday brings us a day of Gold Rush lore and mining. Please remember that there is no school on Friday!
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- reading log
- math 21.3
- math problem of the week
- be sure to prepare and turn in your science project inquiry question on Thursday!
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

The Ugly Duckling and Tuesday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We were treated to a groovy 1st grade performance of the Ugly Duckling today. The kids did a great job, and their efforts were enjoyed by all.
I made an amendment to everyone's chapter 19 math exam today, increasing each score by one point. My apologies for the error, but I corrected the integers as negative values when they were, in fact, positives. Thanks to Alisa Black for pointing out the error.
Wednesday brings a water safety presentation for all grade levels. Tomorrow also brings a quiz on chapters 8 - 11 of By the Great Horn Spoon!
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- reading log
- math 21.1
- nature log
- continue with research for science project investigative question

the anticipation...
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. The mood is a wacky one, as we are all very excited about the upcoming break. We have a few fun-filled days together as we make our way toward this much-needed and well-deserved rest.
Here are a few things to be aware of:
1.) The Discovery Channel has premiered an amazing series entitled "LIFE". Much in the same vein of the Planet Earth series we utilized while studying biomes, this series focuses on different species of animals. Last night's episodes were "Mammals" and "Fish", while last week's were "Reptiles" and "Amphibians". There are 11 episodes in all, each an hour in length. They are simply amazing, and highly recommended. New episode are airing Sunday's at eight, with the two previous week's episodes on at 6 and 7.
2.) Blue Folders are chocked full of goodies. Please be on the look out for the parent education survey and information for the seventh annual dinner, dance and auction on May 7th.
3.) Students received materials to begin their individual 4th grade science fair projects today. The first check in is Thursday, when kids need to submit their inquiry questions.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- reading log
- math 21.1
- begin science fair inquiry
- Reflections practice book pages 62 & 63 (if not finished in class)
