Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Just a head's up that the kids will have a science test next Wednesday. The test will cover the four chapters of the text that we have covered thus far, and include the ideas of predator / prey relationships, food chains & webs, energy for life, and habitats & niches. The test will be open book.

Tuesday is our aquarium trip, and we will be leaving school at 9am and returning at 3. As the trip ends after our normal school day, kids will be invited to take the homework club buses at 4:30 or have other arrangements made to get home. Students will need to bring a sack lunch and snack.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- math 5.4
- Reading Practice Book page 47
- finish Native Californian vocabulary and study for tomorrow's quiz. The words and sentences are due tomorrow as well.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Monday and the week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are having that typical Indian Summer weather, and the kids are a little squirrely for it. I can't blame them, as I would rather be outside soaking up some vitamin D myself.

We have picture day on Thursday, and our scheduled time is 9:20. Make sure to avoid the trappings of bedhead that day, please.

I have yet to receive aquarium permission slips from the following kids, and would appreciate them turned in immediately: Kidasi & Matthew. If you need duplicate forms, please contact me or download a blank permission slip form from the school's website.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- Monday Folders
- Native Californians vocabulary
- HM 5.1
- Reflections practice book page 13

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
