Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thank you for checking in.  Tomorrow is the big Mission San Juan Bautista trip, and the kids are chompin' at the bit to go check out some history!  Please make sure that kids bring a bag lunch and jacket.  Cameras are optional.

Today, the kids are responsible for the following:

- math 19.4, 6-25
- RPB 336
- Nature Log (for those who forgot)

Respectfully, Mr. B

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

Tuesday

Hello all, and thanks for checking in.  Progress reports are ready to go, and will follow the kids home from school on Wednesday.  Each will include a cover letter that explains where we are at as a class this grading period.

Today, the kids are responsible for the following:

- 20 minutes DEAR
- RPB 332
- Math 19.2, page 421, problems 17-30

Respectfully, Mr. B

Monday & the Week

Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  There was some serious 49ers sadness in the classroom today.  Your children are so passionate!

Just a few notes to be mindful of:

- Progress Reports are not quite ready, and will be going home on Wednesday, not today.
- Friday is our Mission San Juan Bautista trip.  If you've volunteered to come along with us, please ensure that your driver forms are current with the school's office.

The kids are responsible for the following today:

- 20 minutes DEAR
- RPB p. 331
- Math unit 8 review, pp 410 - 411, problems 1-20 (There is a math quiz tomorrow on ch. 18.)

Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant

Thursday & Friday

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in.  The school was a wacky place today, as we lost access to water and toilets at 11am.  The school brought in porta-potties which the kids went crazy for.  The issue is supposed to be resolved tonight, but I would suggest that each child be sent to school with a full water bottle tomorrow in case we are in the same situation again.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- 20 minutes DEAR
- math 18 review, 1-20
- RPB p. 323

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Wednesday

Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  The class was wonderful today.  We had a great discussion about what we are working toward as a class for the second half of the school year.  We are near our hundredth day together, and we have about 90 to go.  Weird how quickly the time flies.

After our math lesson today, I am not comfortable quizzing the kids this Friday on mixed numbers and improper fractions.  We are going to take a few extra days to cement our understanding before moving forward with assessments and chapter 19.

The kids are responsible for the following this evening:

- 20 minutes of DEAR
- math 18.4, problems 8-19
- RPB p. 321
- January book reports are due tomorrow.
- We are postponing our normal Wednesday Nature Log entry until next week so as to allow our procrastinators to complete their book reports.

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant

Tuesday

Hello all, and thank you for checking in.  I wanted to let everyone know that I will be sending home progress reports this coming Monday.  They will cover language arts, math, science and California studies.  The printouts will cover your child's current academic standing.  Blanks will indicate missing work.  I will not have time to include January's book report on this printout, but they will be current to this Friday and include all of this week's assessments.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

- 20 minutes DEAR
- RPB p. 317
- math 18.3, problems 7-17
- January book report due by Thursday

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
