Howdy all, and thank you for checking in. Thanks to all of you who made it out this past Thursday night for our Spring Open House. The kids have worked hard this year, and were anxious / proud to share their accomplishments with you. This Thursday night brings our Spring Concert at Aptos High School. The choir performances begin at 5, and our grade level will be singing at 7. Students are asked to wear a white shirt and black / dark pants. We are sharing our California reports during the course of the week, as presentations have been lengthy and engaging. Graded efforts should make their way home next Monday. We have begun our final literature effort together, and are revisiting the genius of Roald Dahl. The kids and I are devouring James and the Giant Peach. Such fun. We have a few assessments this week. Today, the kids took their final math exam. Friday will bring their year-end science test. We reviewed its content last Thursday with a rousing Jeopardy game, and the kids took study notes to prepare themselves with. The test is closed-book. The class will also have a vocabulary quiz on Friday (covers section 1 of James and the Giant Peach). The kids are responsible for the following tonight: - James vocabulary - RPB pp 376 & 377 Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
