Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Well, tomorrow is the big day. We will be filming Villains in the Goldfield. We are looking forward to hamming it up for the camera, and are eager to share our efforts at Open House next Wednesday. It is important that the kids remember to bring their mining shirts! Also, if anyone has a stick horse, we would appreciate the opportunity to use it tomorrow! Everything will be returned Friday afternoon.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- reading log (due tomorrow)
- math 24.4
- complete mineral and rock vocabulary for tomorrow's quiz
- bring clothes for filming tomorrow
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Wednesday and beyond
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We are powering through our film rehearsals, and the kids are getting very excited about filming on Friday. If the kids would like to start bringing in costumes and props, they are more than welcome to do so. We are in need of bandanas and cowboy hats if folks have 'em laying around at home. They will be returned!
Tomorrow brings us our first efforts with the state math assessment. While I was not thrilled with the math curriculum we used this year, the kids are prepared to kick some equations to the curb!
Tonight, the kids should be continuing with the following:
- math 24.3 (it's an odd assignment, so if the stress levels go overboard, we will be going over the individual problems in class tomorrow. So, no worries.)
- reading log (due Friday)
- continue with California report
- continue with rocks and minerals vocabulary for Friday's quiz

Monday & progress...
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We have a hectic week in front of us, but we are sure to rock out along the way. Please be mindful of the following:
- Progress reports followed the kids home today. Before you freak out, whether it be good or bad, please be aware that these are snapshots of where your child currently stands academically. We have a full month of school left, and the kids have the opportunity to maintain their efforts or improve upon them.
- There are two permission slips in the Blue Folders today. One for a documentary that I will be sharing with the class, and a second for our KOA field today in June. Please return them in a timely manner.
- We will be completing the balance of the language portion of the state testing tomorrow. Please make sure the kids come to school on time and having eaten a healthy breakfast (something that should happen each school day,regardless).
- There is a Number the Stars quiz on Wednesday. It will cover chapters 1-4. There is a rocks and minerals vocabulary quiz on Friday. The kids were given a study sheet last Monday to work with. It will also be due on Friday.
- The kids have a California Report check in tomorrow. It is not a huge effort, but should reference the following:
1. Subject of Report for example: Golden Gate Bridge
a. first topic (body paragraph) a. design
b. second topic (body paragraph) b. construction
c. third topic (body paragraph) c. usage
Honestly, this is all the kids need to show progress with. Hopefully it will focus their studying and writing.
Other than that, the kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- math 24.1
- reading log (due Friday)
- Blue Folder

Tuesday & Wednesday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a fun short day, and hope to continue the week as such. The kids are excited to begin sharing their science projects, and we will be sharing our efforts with the entire fourth grade on Friday.
As I mentioned here yesterday, state testing begins this week. With that, daily homework will become light (as of today) with the hopes that kids focus their energies on their California reports.
We began our discussion on World War II today, and the kids were very respectful of the subject matter. There were many questions about Nazis and their persecution of Jewish people. I am treating the matter as delicately as possible, but some material is frightening. Please know that I am working to make this enlightening experience for all.
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
- reading log
- math 23.3
- continue with California reports
