Tuesday

Hello all, and thanks for checking in.  The kids are engrossed with Titanic lore, and its exciting to see them so engaged in a topic.  We'll be viewing a very cool documentary on Thursday called "Ghosts of the Abyss" which follows a crew as the explore the wreckage of the ship.  It's pretty amazing.

The class had 15 minutes of time at the end of the day, as we completed all of our tasks in a timely manner.  With that, many of the kids were able to get a very healthy head start on their homework.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- read for 20 minutes
- math 4.3, pages 79 & 80, problems 14 - 30
- RPB pp 45 & 46
- math problem o' the week (due Thursday)

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Monday

Please take a moment to review your child's red folder.  There are several notices from the school and much returned work to mull over.  Please return permission slips as soon as possible.
