Wednesday and Thursday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a very pleasant day, and the kids were charming. We were able to wrap up our literature study of the Witches by Roald Dahl, and the kids have until next Wednesday to complete and turn in their study packets.

We also reviewed the finer points of nature logs. The kids will be working on an observation of their choosing this afternoon / evening.

Thursday is the last day of this school week so that we may observe Veteran's Day on Friday. With that, I'd like to wish you each a peaceful three-day weekend. I will be on campus tomorrow, but only in the classroom until recess. The new report cards are taking some time to get used to, so I will be in the computer lab most of day in an effort to complete them.

Report cards go home on Monday, and will include a detailed print out of assignments and Accelerated Reader efforts for the first trimester. New AR goals will also be included with the report card, but goals are already available on-line.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 10.3, page 221, problems 1-25
- a nature log entry of the student's choosing (must not be man made or a pet)
- work with Witches packet as necessary
- complete Mrs. Mitchener's math problem of the week (if necessary)
- continue studying spelling words for tomorrow's quiz

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
