Hello all, and thank you for checking in. We had a very nice day, despite a not so great start. I didn't make it to school until almost 9, as a car crashed into my house last night! We are fine, but taking care of police reports and insurance took up my morning. The kids were great for Mrs. Maraldo in my absence.
We had a great time this week discovering the history behind the sinking of the Titanic, and the kids were treated a documentary this afternoon, "The Ghosts of the Abyss", that chronicled the exploration of the wreckage. Very cool stuff!
The kids are responsible for the following today:
- 30 minutes DEAR
- math chapter 4 review, page 88, problems 1-20
- study for tomorrow's spelling quiz
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Hello all, and thanks for checking in. The day is an obviously somber one as we recall and pay our respects to those who lost their lives on 9/11. I can't believe its been 12 years, as the memories are so vivid. The class and I did a little exploration of the subject matter today, as they were full of questions. We watched a Brainpop video on the subject, and it did a wonderful job presenting information and facts in a non-threatening, non-graphic manner. The kids may still have questions, so please be prepared should the subject arise.
The kids are responsible for the following today:
- 30 minutes DEAR
- reading practice book page 46
- math lesson 4.4, page 83, problems 8-23
- problem of the week 3 due tomorrow
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Hello all, and thanks for checking in. The above critters visited the classroom today courtesy of Kayla. Our shores have had an unfortunate wash-up in the past week and we have been treated to some rarely seen deep-sea fish. If you're interested in checking out the carnage for yourself, I'd suggest a stroll between New Brighton and Capitola (along the cliffs) at low tide. I've seen several species of eels, deep sea fish and crabs as of late.
Tomorrow is picture day. Sadly, we have PE first thing in the morning, so our scheduled picture time is 10:30. Watch out for bed head!
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- Blue Folders
- 30 minutes DEAR
- reading workbook page 45
- math lesson 4.2, pages 75 - 76, problems 6-20
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
