Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  The class is settling into a routine after our first week together, and we seem to working well.  Blue folders are making their way home with the kids this afternoon.  I did not grade last week's work, with the exception of Friday's spelling quiz.  Normally, a red stamped 'B' will be printed on assignments that I have logged in my grade book.  You'll note a space to acknowledge receipt of the Blue Folder on a weekly basis, as well as various means by which to contact me.  Please ensure that Blue Folders are returned no later than Friday of each week.

Today, the kids are responsible for the following:

- Blue Folders
- 30 minutes DEAR
- Reading practice book pages 30 & 31 (weekly spelling words)
- Math 2.3, page 33, problems 9-20

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
