Thursday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We're making wonderful progress with our anthology for the Young Authors Fair. The kids have been furiously typing expanded versions of some of the quick writes we've worked on during the course of the year. They're coming out nicely, and the kids are adding illustrations to compliment their work.

Tomorrow brings the due date for another writing, as the kids should be completing their final drafts of the picture is worth a thousand words story. I'm excited to share and read their efforts.

The fifth grade has a solar system exam tomorrow consisting of ten short answer questions. The fourth grade will have a short answer exam next Wednesday on land movement. They'll receive a short study guide on Friday to begin working with.

Just as a friendly reminder, science projects should be coming to their fruition this weekend. Completed projects are due Tuesday morning. The kids will be sharing their efforts with the class between Tuesday and Thursday of next week.

Finally, the kids are responsible for the following tonight:

Fourth-

- Saxon 113 / HM math 20.3
- finish 1,000 word final draft

Fifth-

- Saxon 113 / HM math 20.1
- finish 1,000 word final draft
- study for science exam

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
