Tuesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Despite the rains, we had a great day. We had a great discussion regarding the difference between adaptations and accommodations. Lots of questions about evolution, so be prepared for inquiring minds. (We're a public school, so I took the scientific approach.)
I also need to relay how impressed with how well the class is handling our work with fractions. I know that they have been craving harder work, so it is great to see them step up to the challenge.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 17.6
- problem o' the week 16
- science WB pages 92 & 93
- continue with weekly vocabulary.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Monday

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in. There seems to be a stomach bug running around campus, so please be mindful of random symptoms. We had a good number of students out of class and school-wide today.
I'm running off to SJSU for classes tonight, so please pardon the brevity of this note.

The kids are responsible for the following tonight:

- math 17.5 (1-30)
- vocabulary
- Monday Folder

Tuesday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a much improved day over Monday, and everything went smoothly. Our first round of gold mining went well, and was a little cut-throat as teams staked their claims and jumped others.

- Reading Practice book pages 224 & 225
- problem o' the week
