Thursday

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in.  Today was writing-intensive, and it was refreshing to have the kids willing to share their efforts with the classroom so early in the school year.  Quick reminders that we have both a spelling and math quiz tomorrow.  If you have not signed off and returned the weekly red folder, please make sure it comes to school on Friday.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- read for 20 minutes
- reading practice book page 5 (if not finished in class)
- math ch. 1 review, page 22, all problems

Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant

First Class Meeting

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in.  Each Wednesday afternoon, the kids and I will hold a class meeting to share in our successes and concerns.  The meetings will generally be student-driven, although I will also utilize the time to share information regarding expectations and reinforce positive practices.  Today's meeting, for example, was heavy on "housekeeping" issues (i.e. expectations for the school year).  Future meetings will usually address student concerns and accomplishments.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- 20 minutes of reading
- reading practice book, page 11
- math 1.4, page 17, problems 6-18

Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant
