Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Hopefully you each managed a peaceful weekend. Things were crazy here last week with the rain and power outages. Weird to think that we can go from three inches of rain on Friday alone to temperatures projected for the low 80's this week.
The fifth grade is still in need of drivers / chaperones for next Tuesday's trip to NASA. Ellen Abelar and Melina Dames have been kind enough to volunteer their time and energy. Will you? Please let me know if you are able to help us out. We'll be leaving school around 11am and returning in the early evening.
The school's 8th annual dinner and auction is coming up this Saturday, and, sadly, I will be out of town and unable to attend. I usually look forward to making a fool of myself, so hopefully someone can be foolish for me instead. If you haven't taken a gander at it yet, the on-line auction is live! I have placed myself up for bidding this year, so be be sure to check out my breakfast for three (and me) at the Silver Spur!
If you haven't been able to donate to the classroom's Donors Choose Project, please click on the link in the upper right hand corner of the blog. We've been fortunate to receive funding from several individuals thus far, but are still needing in the neighborhood of $400 to complete a very cool art project. There are three weeks left to help us out, so if you are able to help please do.
The grades are both jumping into new literature this week, and both novels are historical fiction. The fifth grade is exploring the universe and the fourth grade is wrapping up their biome studies.
Students are responsible for the following tonight:
Fourth-
- Monday Folders
- Saxon 100
- Number the Stars chapter 2 by Wednesday
- Number the Stars vocabulary, section 1 by Friday
- study for land biome quiz
Fifth-
- Monday Folders

- War Come to Willy Freeman chapter 2 by Wednesday

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
