Howdy all. The ocean animal reports are coming along swimmingly (bad pun). Thanks to those of you who have sent in shoe boxes. If you have yet to send one it, please do so by Friday at the latest, as we'll be assembling our reports on that day after the kids have the opportunity to observe their animals Thursday at the aquarium.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log
-Math 5A
-Reading practice book pages 81 - 83

Aquarium reminders
Howdy all. This is just a quick reminder that we will be leaving school at 9:45 on Thursday for the aquarium trip. Students and chaperones will need to bring a bag lunch.
Also, for those of you who have volunteered your precious time and energy in accompanying us, can you please send me a quick e-mail letting me know whether or not you have an aquarium membership. The students are free, but we have only a limited number of adult passes. Therefore, if you have a pass, please let me know and remember to bring it along on Thursday. It will make our entry process to the aquarium an easier one.
And, again, we have a surplus of drivers. We'll be doing our best to condense our classroom into as few cars as possible. I'll have maps and parking information in class Thursday morning.

Monday and the week
Howdy all. Please be on the lookout for Orange Folders today, as they are full of information about Friday's Harvest Festival, the Toyota fundraiser and raffle and, of course, your child's completed work.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium trip is this Thursday. We've gotten some bad news from the reservation department in that they will not allow us entry until 10:45. We have never been scheduled for such a late arrival, and the aquarium has chalked it up to demand. Our original plan, which called for a lab, has been canceled and we will now have a scavenger hunt instead. I am a bit ambivalent about the fact that we will only be allowed to spend two hours in the aquarium, but the kids will have a chance to view and observe their ocean animals that are the focus of their reports. We'll be leaving school at 9:45.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Orange Folders
-Reading Log (due tomorrow, new log in Orange Folders)
-Math lesson 29, 1-20
-Reading practice pages 86 & 87
-"Tomas" spelling words for Friday can be found on page 413 of the Reading practice book

Thursday and Friday
Howdy all. I do hope you've been enjoying our Indian summer. The weather has left your kids with many a smiling faces. Today was so nice that we took our Reading Buddies to the park and read for a while on the grass.
We are wrapping our Native Californian studies, and will celebrate tomorrow by creating coiled clay pots just like Cahuilla tribe we studied today. Please remember that tomorrow brings our Native Californian vocabulary quiz. Next week will bring the unit assessment on our Indian studies. The kids will be able to use the study guides they've worked on in class during the test.
Each student will need a shoebox in class for their ocean animal reports by next Wednesday.
Students are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log
-Math lesson 27 (all), pages 117-118
-Native Californian vocabulary and definitions are due tomorrow
