Thursday & Friday

Thanks all for checking in, as we have much to share.
First, thanks to all who contributed to our impromptu Valentine's exchange today.  We spent the last 20 minutes of the day getting sugared up.  Holy cow, it does not take much to get these kids going.
Second, we are postponing out math test until next Tuesday.  The kids will benefit from a few additional days of working with the decimal / fraction dynamic.
Third, we are officially in the Gold Rush mode of our history studies.  With our reading of By the Great Horn Spoon! nearly complete, we will be venturing into a simulation game to further cement our understanding of this very important time of California's history.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- 20 minutes DEAR
- RPB p. 361
- Math extra, p. 435, sets b&c

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in.  I hope that each enjoyed your three-day weekend.  Mine was so nice, that I made it 4!  I was not in class today, as I was having a filing done.  Not as fun as I would have liked.  Oh well.  I will be back on Wednesday.
Thanks to everyone who made it to the mission with us on Friday.  What a great day.  I will be posting some pictures here in the coming days, so check back in soon.

Wednesday

Hello all, and thanks for checking in.  Your children have their progress reports, and hopefully they are eager to share them with you.  While the cover letter will explain a great deal, you may still have questions or concerns.  Please feel free to contact me should the need arise.

The kids are responsible for the following today:

- Nature Log entry

- RPB p. 335 (We ran out of time to cover this material prior to the end of school today.  If your child is not readily grasping the concept, no worries.  We will cover the content on Thursday.)

- Math 19.3, problems 7-18

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
