Wow. It is winter break time already! In just 6 short months, you'll be chill-axing your way through summer vacation, can you believe it?
3 things ruling our roost this week:
1. Spelling. Your skits are due Wednesday and will be performed for Mrs. Rau's class on Thursday. Spelling test will be on Friday (a change from last week's schedule), and a spelling sort it on Thursday.
2. Chapter 5. You're good buddy chapter 5 is back to teach you all about land use, and the theme: human-environment interaction. You'll meet the study guide on Tuesday, but the big showdown comes on Wednesday with the chapter 5 test.
3. Reading Logs: numero uno is due on miercoles. That's Wednesday!
So, it looks like WEDNESDAY, wednesday, Wednesday is the day where all the magic will happen, the place where spelling, reading and social studies will come together in a united homework front of fantastic fun. Do you have goosebumps yet? I can't wait, and I'd be willing to guess that you can't either.
Enjoy your last school week of 2007!

This Week: December 10-14
This week students will get new spelling words (test is Thursday December 20th), work on chapter 5 in the social studies book (all about interacting with our environment...test on December 19th), turn in their B.A.R.F. on Friday, and continue to read, read , read.
Edline is being updated this afternoon (sorry for the looooong delay).
As many of you know at least on period during core on Fridays' is devoted to fun-writing, starting this week, one period on Wednesdays will be devoted to grammar. This does not mean that the only time we will discuss grammar is Wednesdays, it just means that we will focus a larger chunk of our time on Wednesday to working grammar. Doesn't that sound fun and exciting? I bet you can't wait!

Welcome to the big show...Tri 2
Wow-e-wow-wow! This week has flown by. Sorry I haven't kept you updated this week (I will resume my regular posting habits on Monday).
This week was a busy one. For a recap and for the new and updated December calendar, please head over to the website and click "calendar and assignments" or if you don't want to take the scenic route, you can click here.
I hope that all of you have a wonderful weekend. I am heading to Salem for a cookie making party tomorrow evening, working at the destination imagination skills fair tomorrow morning, and on Sunday driving down to the beach to check out the damage on my parents house.
Stay safe.
Hope for snow! (I know it isn't' int he forecast, but I always hope for it around this time of year).

Trimester One is looooooooooong gone. Helllllloo Trimester 2
Ahoy.
Just wanted to give the loyal readers out there a heads up. Trimester 2 reading requirements are now posted over on the website. I know that you were dying to know what was going to happen with reading journals in the next trimester (or the Empire Strikes Back, as I like to call all good things with cliff hanger endings that fall between the beginning (tri one) and the end (tri 3).
Have a good weekend!
I'm here at school doing your grades and thinking about low snow levels tomorrow morning! Can't wait!

This week in CORE...Nov 26th - Nov 29th
hey hey, Trimester 1 is almost behind us! (woot-woot!)
Before you get too excited, realize that you do have one week of Tri one left, and boy will it be a rockin' one.
Monday students turned in the Types of Government chart and received new spelling words (test on Monday December 3rd btw.)
Tuesday we will get BARF #2 (due 12/14) and CE #3 (due 12/4). Tuesday is also the very last day for extra credit, late work, make-up work, missing work...pretty much the whole ballgame.
Wednesday we'll discuss culture and turn in our final READING LOG OF TRI 1 (again....woot! woot!)
Thursday we'll sort our spelling words, discuss culture, and relish in the fact that Tri one is done.
No school for STUDENTS on FRIDAY! It's probably a good time to get your room cleaned, rake the yard and butter up those parents before your report cards drop in next week to make your life either a) super awesome, or b) a time to clean and do chores. Only you control your school destiny (as they say, make it a great on or not...the choice is yours).
Happy last-week-of-November-and Tri-one!
Miss B's tip(s) of the week: wear your coat (it'll be cold), hope for snow (that would rock! but not this weekend or on Friday...think Thursday, or Wednesday), memorize your lunch code (prices are rising on Thursday and we are also getting a new computer system), be nice to your elders, and spread good cheer!

Ch Ch Ch CHANGES!
Same blog, new name.
1. Why?
Miss Bryant's Blog didn't have any charisma, spunk, or sassy-ness.
Bee-Rant has all of that and a whole lot more
2. What does Bee-Rant mean?
Well, I am Miss B. this is my blog for ranting (and raving). Also, Bee-Rant is what my mom's students call her...I like it, so I changed it.
3. How?
I have been trying to create a blog header/banner (that blue thing with the bee you see at the top of the page), but I couldn't find any free un-copyrighted bee clip art to use, so I decided to draw a bee, take a picture with my document camera and use Photoshop to make a banner. Voila! What do you think? Did you like the old way better?
enjoy.
BLOG ON!
This is what the bee looked like before I worked my magic.
