Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. I just sent out a mass email explaining the details for tomorrow's trip, so I won't go into depth with them again here. Just quickly, I will remind you each that the kids should bring a sack lunch and a light jacket. We will be back by 2.
There is no homework tonight, as the kids should be getting together any missed assignments to turn in by tomorrow's semester end. Please remember that I am extending the AR deadline until Monday when we have access to the computer lab.
Thanks for a groovy first trimester!

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Wednesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Just a few quick notes for your consideration:

- Picture retakes are tomorrow. If you are getting retakes, please bring in the original set of pictures and they will shoot again. Those who missed picture day can pick up order forms in the office.

- Thanks to those of you who volunteered to join us on Friday for our trip to San Juan Bautista. We have enough drivers now and the kids are excited to experience some history!

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- from California Studies Weekly, the kids will write a one-page response to the "Let's Write" prompt on the back page. Responses can be written on lined paper.

- Math chapter 9 review, page 204, questions 1-20

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday and beyond

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are off to a busy week, and things went rather smoothly today after our sugar explosion yesterday. Thanks again to all the families who coordinated their efforts in pulling off a truly memorable day.

This Friday is our planned trip to Mission San Juan Bautista. We are low on drivers, and I am putting out a call to any brave, patient and available souls who might kindly join us for the day. The weather is finally supposed to turn nasty on Thursday, so if that is a consideration for you be mindful.

I met with each student this afternoon to go over any outstanding missing assignments. As many of you already know, Friday is the last day of the first trimester. While most kids were good, I did write out missing assignments for each child who has them. I will accept this work up through Friday. Kids have until Monday to work with AR for this grading period. While I met with the kids individually, the class was allowed time for homework and completing missing assignments. With that, homework may be light for many tonight.

If not completed here, the kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- Weekly Folders
- Math 9.3, p. 197, problems 1-23
- Witches packet, "Hello, Grandmomma" chapter

respectfully, Mr. Bryant

A Ghoulishly Groovy Day

One million thanks to the blood and sweat that went into organizing and pulling off today's Halloween festivities. From the toilet paper surplus to the dance party to the amazingly spooky food, everything was a blast.
Have a safe and exciting time Trick o' Treatin' tonight. Tomorrow is back to the grind. We'll be keeping it realistic, as I know that most of the kids will be sporting a sugar hangover.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
