While I appreciate those of you lobbying for me loop the class up to fifth grade, I do not have the clout or pull to guarantee such a reality. The reality, as it stands now, is that there will be 2 flat 5th grade classrooms, and one 4/5 combination. The fifth grade teaching staff is one that is fortunate enough to not be affected by the mass of layoffs @ Rio, and none of them have expressed an interest in switching grades. Therefore, if I am to return to Rio next year, it will be as a fourth grade teacher. Sorry to disappoint a few of you, but that is the crumbling cookie as of 5/28/09.

Howdy all
We are making great progress with our two murals. If you have time to stop by and check them out, they are in the upper quad area. If not, I'll post pictures here early next week.
Friday bring the Rio Mini-Olympics. Should be a fun day of sports and (hopefully) good sportsmanship! Each of the kids are receiving a t-shirt for participating.
Our final week of school begins on Monday! We are all breathing a big sigh of relief. If folks are interested in walking to the beach with us on Tuesday, we'll be leaving at 8:30 and returning by 10:45. I will post a list of drivers for Wednesday's KOA day no later than Monday. I'll post friendly reminders about what kids can and cannot bring to the beach day and KOA day on Monday as well.
Have a great weekend. I am dying to see 'UP'. It looks amazing. Hopefully report cards go quickly enough to allow be to go see it.

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. The kids were insane today, after our groovy three-day holiday. Hopefully everyone is feeling rested and recharged for these last few days of school.
I'm holding the sending home of Orange Folders until the last day of school. There were too many still not returned today from last week. Please make sure they are returned soon, as the final folders will have a bunch of goodies in 'em, including report cards.
We'll be painting our murals this Thursday and Friday. I asked the kids to bring a junky tshirt that they don't mind getting dirtied, as the paint we will be using does not wash off clothing. Keep the new sneakers at home those days as well.
Friday brings a morning of mini-Olympics. We still need consent forms from Ryan and Shaniah! Please get them in immediately.
We also need Beach Clean Up permission slips from Laura and Navid.
Have a good one, Mr. Bryant

Thursday & Friday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. It was great to see those of you who could make it last night for Open House. We are all a little bit sleep today after the fun.
The California reports / presentations have been very nice. The kids have been very respectful of each other and have offered heaps of praise upon each other for their knowledge and efforts. We've gone through 19 of them in last two days and will wrap them up tomorrow.
We are in need to two permission slips and $10 for the KOA trip on June 3rd. If Navid and Jalen could get those in by Friday, it would be much appreciated.
FInally, I am sending the kids home with two additional consent forms today. Each is entirely self-explanatory, but need to be returned ASAP.
Have a great afternoon, Mr. Bryant

Take care, Mr. B

The week
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are down to twelve days of school left. I have been breathing deeply, and am encouraging the kids to do the same. We are all very anxious to be through with our year!
The California report presentation schedule is listed under "projects" on the blog. Sorry, I completely spaced on posting it Friday. Must have been the anticipation of the weekend.
Open House is this Wednesday evening from 6:30 - 8. The kids are anxious to share their work with everyone. Please come by and say hello.
Finally, we are still needing a few permission slips / $10 for the KOA trip on June 3rd. Sorry to name names, by the following need to turn in slips ASAP:
permission slip & $10 from: Aleks B., Jalen, Lucas, Navid & Patrick
$10 from (already have permission slip): Lindsay & Ryan

Lice and stuff
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. It looks as if lice is making the rounds again at school, and there have been several affected classrooms. Possible exposure notices went home with the kids today. Please read over them for further information.
Please continue to work on California Reports. Everything is due Monday. Again, a presentation schedule for next week will be posted here tomorrow.
For those that have not submitted KOA permission slips and funds, please do so immediately. We are still shy a few students at this point.
