Monday and the week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We're off to a wacky week already. We attempted some computer research in the lab this afternoon only to have the computers shut down on us twice. A disappointing experience, for sure.
We have officially wrapped our studies of Native Californians, and the students now have their study guides in the possession. During the course of the week the kids will need to ensure that the cover and back have been fully illustrated (in color), that their table of contents matches the organization of the guide, have completed their vocabulary and made finishing touches on notes, etc. The guide is there for them to review this week for Friday's quiz. The guide will need to come back to school on Friday!!!
Today we began our study of early explorers to California, which lends itself as a good introduction to next week's mission trip. If you've not submitted your child's permission slip, please do so quickly. There is plenty of room for drivers and chaperones, so please let me know if you'd like to come along and help out that day.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- Monday Folders
- continue with Native Californians study guide
- Reading Practice Book page 110 (started in class)
- Reflections practice book page 21 (also started in class)
- math 8 review, page 186, problems 1-20 (strangely, also started in class)

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
