Welcome back...
Howdy all, and welcome back from what I hope was a restful and peaceful Thanksgiving break. The kids have been great, and are clearly happy to be back in class.
The Orange Folders that have made their way home today have new Accelerated Reading goals for this grading trimester. The goals, for the most part, are noticeably higher than the first trimester's goals, so please keep in mind what I shared with you at the conferences; these goals are based on a longer reading window. If you have questions about goals or scores, please do not hesitate to send me off an email.
As far as returned student work goes, I have caught up completely with math grading, but am still a bit behind in language packets and cursive. Families should receive the balance of their child's work in next week's folders.
In these weeks leading up to Winter Break, the class will take a siesta from literature circles and social studies textbooks. We will be focusing on short stories from our reading anthologies, producers and consumers / energy cycles in science, California mission reports and math.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log (new one in Orange Folders)
-reading practice book pages 181 & 182
-cursive packet, letter 'j'
-math lesson 51 (all)

Monday and Tuesday
Howdy all. It's good to be back in the classroom. The kids are more than excited about our two-day schedule this week, and I can't blame them!
We're keeping things simple these two days as a good chunk of the class has taken off early for the upcoming holiday. With that, there will not be homework tonight or over the break.
Two notes of interest for you all:
1.) Ann Rankin has organized a Turkey Drive for Tuesday at school in conjunction with the Second Harvest Food Bank. Those who can donate a turkey should drop it off at school tomorrow!
2.) There seems to be a rash of chickenpox running about the campus. I am sending each student home with an alert from the school nurse regarding the outbreak!

Orange Folders and next week
Howdy all. The kids each received their Orange Folders today. In them you will find ID pictures, information on the next restaurant night @ Chili's, a new reading log, and report cards. The report cards are looking stark, thanks in part to the new electronic format. You'll notice that comments are on the light sight, considering that we are just coming off of conferences. Please sign and return the manila envelope that contains the report card ASAP. In fact, returning it in a signed Orange Folder would be most appreciated. There will not be Orange Folders sent home next week.
I will be out of the classroom again next week, and I apologize for the series of absences this month. Allyson Weston, whom the kids adore, will be here in my absence.
While I am away, the kids are responsible for the following:
Monday - Reading log, math lesson 49 (all), cursive letter 'e' and reading practice book pages 155, 161 & 162.
Tuesday - Reading log, math lesson 50 (all), cursive letter 'f' and reading practice book pages 158 & 159. Please make sure that you are ready for tomorrow's Literature Circle meeting.
Wednesday - Reading log, math 8A, cursive letter 'g' and reading practice book page 164.
Thursday - Reading log, cursive letter 'h' and reading practice book page 163. Make sure you are ready for tomorrow's spelling quiz.
I will not have access to email while I am away, so pressing concerns should be addressed to administration. Again, I apologize for the excessive absences this month, but thank you each for your understanding.

Happy Wednesday
Howdy all. I hope that each of you were able to enjoy our Veteran's Holiday.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
-Reading Log (due Friday)
-Math 46 (all)
-Reflections practice page 42
Respectfully, Mr. B
