Wednesday

Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  We had a fun day.  The kids had the opportunity to create a pictogram this morning in the vein of Native Americans.  Telling a story without words made for some humorous interpretations.  The kids also got their first dose of the monthly classroom auction.  Bidding was lively (and thankfully not too competitive).  We will hold classroom auctions at the end of each month.
The kids worked well on their math benchmarks this morning, and will be taking a language benchmark exam tomorrow morning.  Benchmarks are not included in grades.

Today, the kids are responsible for the following:

- read 20+ minutes
- continue with spelling and vocabulary
- math lesson 7.5, page 155, problems 1-7

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday

Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  The classroom was a furnace today.  I suppose it never fully cooled down from yesterday.  We had our math lesson taping this morning with a professor from CSUMB, and it went very well.  The kids were intimidated by his presence, but worked so well with the tasks presented to them.

Today, the kids are responsible for the following:

- read 20 + minutes
- math lesson 7.3, pages 149 & 150, problems 7-25
- continue with weekly spelling and vocabulary
- problem o' the week 3B (due Thursday)

Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant

Monday

Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  Sorry to post late, but I was working at a school in Watsonville today in preparation for tomorrow's math lesson taping.  If you've not submitted a video waiver (sent home last week) for your child, I would appreciate those making it back to school ASAP.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- read 20 + minutes
- math 7.2, pages 145 & 146, problems 8-22
- RPB pages 106 & 107
- begin the week's vocabulary

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
