Thursday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Things are moving along smoothly this week, and the kids are accomplishing quite a bit. We are very near to completing two novel studies with The BFG and The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. Both will wrap by the end of next week. The fourth grade has begun their exploration of biomes, and are crafting books along the lines of what they created with their work on Native Californians. The fifth grade is working with matter and the periodic table. Unfortunately, it's not as exciting as the biome work, so they'll be sharing their expertise with the fourth grade as they tackle and in-depth biome report.

And here is my beating a dead horse plea for the day. Please take a peek at the Scholastic Order for this month. We are very near to earning an Ipad for the classroom!

Tonight, both grades are responsible for the following work:

- Saxon 68
- catch up with any incomplete BFG packet pages
- begin work on Nature Log reflection
- study for tomorrow's spelling quiz

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
