Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Word on the street is that a good number of kids are playing hooky tomorrow so that they can extend their Labor Day weekends by venturing off to Tahoe. I'll save my rant for back to school night next Thursday, but will let folks know now that those who are absent will have two tests to make up next week.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- Math 3.2
- Reading Practice Book pages 36 & 37 (started in class)
- California Reflections practice book pages 10 & 11 (most finished in class)
- students who did not complete their nature log entry on a bird last night will need to turn their work in on Friday

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Monday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We're looking at a groovy week as we begin our fourth grade rotations. On Thursday and Friday afternoons, the classes will take turns with Mr. McMillan and Mrs. Davis working on music appreciation and beginning Spanish courses.

Accelerated Reader goals went home with the kids in their weekly folders today. These goals are for the first trimester only. You are welcome to monitor your child's progress with this program by logging into AR from home. It is accessible through the school's website. Your child has their personal log-in information.

I would ask that you take advantage of the Scholastic Book Club whenever possible, as the classroom earns books and classroom supplies with every order placed. If possible, I am trying to eliminate the paper trail by asking folks to order on-line. The link is in the lower right hand corner of the blog. The classroom has a personal access code as well.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- Weekly Folders
- HM math 2.3
- Reading Practice book pages 30 & 31

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
