Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Wet days + stir-crazy students = an interesting classroom. Sounds like an odd math equation, but we actually managed through our confinement today and intermittent energy surges.
There are still a good number of students out with varying degrees of illness. I've wiped down every imaginable surface with bleach wipes several times this week, so hopefully can curtail additional cases from occurring.
I sent out an email today as well regarding the responses and concerns regarding the Sacramento trip, so check your mailboxes.
Also, I'll be out of the classroom tomorrow working on materials for San Jose State. Mrs. Abelar will be here in my place.

The kids are responsible for the following:

Fourth-

- Saxon 78
- science practice book pages 96 & 97
- studying for next Wednesday's water biomes quiz

Fifth-

- Saxon 78

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

The Short, Wet Week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We've got quite a few kids out already this week, and I am not sure if folks are ill or simply taking a few extra days off to explore the world. Still, an influenza notice is being sent home with the kids today in their Monday Folders.
The Monday Folder also has a Scholastic catalog for the month of February. Please feel free to take advantage of the on-line ordering option. The link is in the lower right corner of this page.
This week brings the close of the Pennies for Patients campaign to raise awareness and funding for Leukemia and Lymphoma. All spare change is appreciated. This week also brings the opportunity to pre-order yearbooks to a close. Orders should be submitted no later than Friday to secure the early-bird pricing.
Classwork continues to move ahead at a brisk pace, and there remains only two weeks in this grading period. I won't be cramming too much in during these final weeks of the second semester, so no worries there. Should be business as usual.

Tonight, the kids (4th and 5th) are responsible for the following:

- Saxon 76
- Nature Log reflection due tomorrow
- Monday Folders

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
