Thursday

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in. Sorry to be posting late day.

Please remember that tomorrow is the final day for kids to turn in their Native California / Mission extra credit projects. Kids that turn them in will be sharing on Friday.

Friday is also the Big Spin award ceremony. Everyone is welcome to attend. We'll be honor student effort and citizenship. The hoopla takes place from 1-2 in the MPR.

Friday will bring a spelling and science quiz.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 12.5 (1-7)
- Read Practice Book pages 158 & 159
- complete spelling and vocabulary for Friday

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Wednesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. You each should have received a call from Mrs. Dorney last night regarding next week's choir performance at Aptos High. I need to stress that this is not an event that your children are required to attend. There are fliers going home with the kids today regarding the logistics of the evening. As much as I would like to attend, I have class at San Jose State that evening. I'll be there in spirit!

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 12.4, problems 1-30
- nature log entry (kids can select their own subject to observe and write about)
- finish diseno mapping (if necessary)
- continue with spelling and vocabulary

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday & Wednesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had an extremely productive day! If you'd not had the opportunity to look over the Monday folder, please do so. I wrote yesterday that I am modifying the homework schedule in an effort to help the kids better manage their time during the week (and, of course, keep myself more organized).

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 12.3 (1-30)
- reading practice book pages 166 & 167
- continue with spelling and vocabulary

Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant

Monday and the week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are back to our classroom routine after what seemed like the shortest 5-day break ever. I hope you each enjoyed yourselves.

I'd like to send a big thank you out to Sheila Hurley for organizing our Thanksgiving Feast last Tuesday. It was genuinely enjoyable, and everyone's efforts were greatly appreciated.

You'll hopefully notice that I am attempting to change the manner in which homework is assigned. I'll be offering up some math and spelling / vocabulary materials in Monday Folders that can be done at any time during the week. I'll be assigning other materials during the course of the week, but am hoping that the Monday work will give the kids a head start on the week.

The Monday Folder is chock full of goodies, including the week's assignments and a study guide for Friday's science quiz. I have also included the reprinted report cards that corrected the error I made on the originals. All checks, minuses and pluses have are now accurately recorded.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- Monday Folder
- Reading Practice Book pages 162 & 163
- spelling / math / vocabulary are printed on homework sheet

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
