Thursday and Friday

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in. This will be my last post prior to the Spring Break, so I'd like to wish you each a peaceful and happy holiday.

The kids and I, with two exceptions, have discussed and approved science projects. I'd encourage folks to not procrastinate with these. I will provide the kids with presentation folders prior to the Spring Break, as I do not want folks spending money on fancy presentation boards (and we don't have space for them in the classroom).

Remember, if you'd like to join us for the talent show or award ceremony this week, their times are as follows:

Talent Show is Thursday afternoon from 1-2 in the MPR.
Award Ceremony is Friday afternoon from 1-2 in the MPR.

By Friday, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math ch. 23 review on page 528
- story edits resubmitted
- science practice book unit on rocks and minerals completed

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday and Science Help

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in. I wanted to offer assistance to the students who are struggling in identifying topics to work with for their science projects. I would encourage folks to visit:

www.sciencebuddies.org

On this site, the kids will be guided through a questionnaire that will hopefully lead them to topics of interest. If kids did not turn in their questions today, please make sure that we have questions in on Wednesday to approve. I want to make sure the kids get off to a good start before disappearing on our Spring Break.

Other than their investigative questions, the kids will need to take care of the following tonight:

- math 23.5 (1-7)
- continue editing short stories

respectfully, Mr. Bryant

The week...

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Lots happening during this final week prior to Spring Break. We have guests from Save Our Shores, the school-wide talent show and the Big Spin to contend with this week.

The focus of our week will involve finishing up our Hiroshima studies and fine - tuning a writing effort. Homework will be light, as I expect the kids to be devoting their efforts to working with their science projects.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 23.4
- Monday Folders
- story edits
- compose a scientific question to experiment with

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
