Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Weekly Folders went home with the kids today and they are packed to the gills with returned work. I took a few days over the winter break to get caught up grading, and what you are receiving is the bulk of that effort. There are a few stray papers that will be completed by the week's end, as I will be sending home progress reports next Monday.
Thanks again to those who have volunteered their time for next week's Ano Nuevo trip. We are set with drivers. For the few students who have yet to submit their permission slips and $5, please do so no later than Friday.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- math 15.3, page 333, all
- weekly vocabulary
- Weekly Folder

Thursday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in.
We are having a very pleasant week as we acclimate ourselves back into our routine. Gold Rush studies are going gang-busters and our new literature selection is a hit.
Homework tonight is minimal, as we need to work in greater depth with a few math concepts prior to the kids attempting them on their own. With that, they should focus on completing the assigned Reflections practice book pages ( 47 - 57, exclude 49 & 54), as they will be collected tomorrow.

Happy 2012!
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Hopefully the new year has brought you each peace and health.
We are back to business as usual in the classroom. The kids were a mixture of weary excitement today, and it was fun to see everyone back together again. As my email from Monday stated, I did send home permission slips with each of the kids today for our Ano Nuevo trip on Tuesday, January 24th. For some reason I wrote the trip as taking place on the 12th on the slips, but the kids have hopefully corrected my mistake. We are set with drivers, but each student will need to bring in $5 with their signed permission slip to cover the cost of admission and parking. Gotta support those State Parks!
I am not sending folders home with the kids until next Tuesday, and they are bursting at the seams with returned materials. It is nice to be caught up with all of the grading. I will sending home progress reports a week from Monday.
We are moving into our studies of the California Gold Rush with social studies and literature. We are also beginning a new science unit on ecosystems and biomes. A very time of year is in store for us all,as much of our studies are highly-interactive!
Homework is on the light side this week as we acclimate back to our routine. Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- math 15.2, pp 329 - 330, problems 1-19
- Ano Nuevo permission slip
- Reflections practice books will be collected on Friday. Student are responsible for pages 47 - 57 (but may omit 49 & 54)

Thursday and Friday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had an extremely civil day today. Quite the relief.
Friday brings us closure on 2011. We are all quite excited, and we have a few holiday activities planned between 10:30 and 11:30. All are welcome to join us. We'll be hosting our book exchange as well. Kids are welcome to bring in any unwanted books to swap with friends for something different and new. All kids will go home with at least a book.
Friday will bring us a spelling quiz. The kids should be putting the final touches on their spelling / vocabulary for the week, as their efforts are due tomorrow.

Wednesday and Thursday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Another trying day as we near closer to the Winter Break. The kids are in rare form.
Friday brings our Book Exchange. If kids would like to bring an unwanted book, they can then swap them for different books from other students. A groovy way to get some new literature.
Thursday will bring a short division and factoring quiz.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- math 14.4
- finish Mrs. Mitchener's Problem o the Week
- continue with spelling and vocabulary for Friday.
