So I clicked start and sat there wondering why nobody would join our meeting. Until my phone began to explode with texts! "Where are you Mr. Kyle? Are you still out surfing? Was the meeting today or tomorrow?!" Well, once I finally clicked the banner by accident, I could tell I was in the right place as everyone began chatting! So great to hear your voices and see that y'all are doing well and that you're safe!
Please do a huge favor!!! Go into your Google drive and rename all your shared files! I'm going crazy fixing them all and trying to figure out what's what when I'm looking in there! Remember: your #, Name, subject and title!
Thx, check here in the morning for the next Tuesday template.
Mr. Kyle
March 22.
Dear Parents,
I am so grateful for you and our class. These are crazy times! I am going to attempt my first Zoom class meeting Monday morning at 10am-11am. Check your email for the link to sign in.
This new to me so please be patient! I have sent you an e-mail of what I shared so you are fully in the loop. PLEASE have your child read these simple rules for the Zoom meeting so it goes relatively well. This will become our new interaction for the coming weeks above and beyond my website and google classroom.
I’m hoping the students will work with their accountability partners on assignments using Zoom. Then, if they have questions, they can share a Zoom meeting for me to join. Then, together, I can help or answer questions that they have.
During the Rio staff meeting on last Thursday morning, March 18th our staff followed these rules. It was new to us, but it really helped us work together through this new Zoom application.
Parents and students will go over this prior to the class meeting:
Students will understand that if they are inappropriate, they will not be part of the next class meeting and may have their screen blanked out and their voice muted.
There will be initial hellos prior to meeting and we can be unmuted and talk/chat freely. We all miss each other and it will be fun to see each other and talk!
When the meeting begins, we will stay muted.
Questions and comments will be typed in chat section, followed by unmutes to share questions, comments, just like a classroom meeting.
It will NOT be perfect the first time but we will all learn together.
Look for the code in the email that I sent out!
Stay well everyone!
See you tomorrow morning!
Mr. Kyle

Here is an ART assignment for you to work on this week. Instructions below:
Hello Rio artists! Using pencil and paper re-create Chagall's drawing, The Rabbit. Notice his use of hatching and cross hatching. Start with the head and then move up to include the whole body. The bunny is placed on a diagonal in the composition. When your bunny is done, add the surrounding background. Take your time to study Chagall’s use of line. Please share with me. Remember to draw light until you get it right
I miss you all, Ms. K.

There are some new things here on our site this afternoon. The SeaHawk news has been updated and has some good information that should be helpful.
March 15
As you may already have heard, Rio (and all PVUSD schools) is moving to remote based learning from March 16 - 20. Below is a link that the district has provided for families to use at home. I encourage all families to set up a weekly schedule to ensure for adequate learning time. The best/productive time for our 6th graders is in the mornings from 8-10 then snack and some exercise time outside if possible. Throw in a silent reading time from 10:45 for an hour and then work on some more of the assigned sets. Please always make sure there is exercise daily and time to play outdoors weather permitting.
Our classroom Chromebooks will be made available to you if you need it to keep up with our online learning.
Your family will need to provide the WiFi at home and a printer for assignments (if required). There are already Google Classroom assignments posted, an eBook link for Anne of Green Gables with the YouTube URL for audible, Math worksheets on the HW page and a NEWSELA article in your Binder.
Here is a link from the district to get started on at home learning:

There are some really good articles about COVID-19 on NEWSELA. I just assigned one that is called: Fear is normal, but keep it in check. There are some other good ones and I hope you will check them out and take the quizzes as well. If you stumble onto a good one and you think that your classmates would like it and or benefit from it, please let me know and I will add it to our binder.
Please network with your classmates and let them know that there are assigned tasks being added to our website. This way once we return to school we will have a lot of the same background knowledge and have some good discussion.
Please continue to develop your Problem Solution Write. I will post something on Google Classroom shortly so you can check in and start sharing your Google document with me.
Stay healthy and keep washing your hands and don't touch your face!

Why is it when we are not allowed to come to school we miss our friends more than ever?
So, it looks like for the next few days we need to stay away from school. I fed the fish a little extra and
took everything off all the counters and flat areas in the classroom. We will need to help each other organize all that
stuff when we get back.
As far a Math homework, please try your best effort on the BIM 9.2.1. Use your online BIM book to help you find answers and insights. I have extended the due date to Tuesday the 17th, so do not worry about it being overdue. Check the HW page for some Pi challenges. I'll post the answers later!
Anne of Green Gables can be read at home or if you want you can access the audio and read along. If you don't have access to the book...www.planetebook.com/free-ebooks/anne-of-green-gables.pdf, feel free to simply listen to a few chapters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=STHkJqnJfO0&t=887s
March 10
Please check the www.pvusd.net website for updates on the COVID-19 and our district's schools.
We just received word today that we are unable to take any field trips out of our county till the end of May for fears of the virus.
I have been inputting the grades that I have into iGrades www.igradeplus.com/ and making changes as students hustle to get their late work and quizzes completed. Please check the grades so that you can see any progress or changes as the occur.
March 4
Looks like the kids that stayed and did the track and fitness with Mr. Sweet had a really good time today! Hopefully you have been enjoying this great weather and finding time outdoors that you can spend with your family. Tut Tut looks like rain is in the forecast starting Sat. am and then again Mon.-Wed. That's okay though, cause we need the rain and some more snow up in them thar hills!
Please check the HW page and stay caught up on whats going on in room 18! There is a scoop page there too so you can see what is coming up and things to watch out for. Remember, if you're ever absent, you can always check the website and see what we are doing. There are no real reasons to fall behind!
Pushing towards spring,
Mr. Kyle

Welcome back! So nice to have the writer's workshop completed! All the Information writes were turned in and came out looking very nice. I will be keeping the writing in class and then giving them back to students after the Open House in spring!
Feb. 18
Please try to get students to school each day and on time! We are trying to up the attendance at Rio and your help is very much appreciated! Teachers are negotiating for a raise, it will be 1% if we can improve students being in class each day! Keep in mind...if your student is running a temperature, please keep them home! I am doing everything here at school to keep our student's health in top form!

Hi Mr.Kyle's class-
Mr. Kyle is in need of some class supplies. If you can help with any of these, send with your child in the next 2 weeks. Class needs: Kleenex, Paper Towels,and Candy. Candy ideas: large like from Costco or Smart & Final or Target- , Jelly Belly, M&M's plain, Red vines, Starburst, Sour Patch kids, or pretty much anything your child will eat.
Valentine's Day Fun- First of all your child is NOT required to participate in doing valentine cards or treat. However if you child chooses to do so they MUST include every child in class. Don't forget something cute for teacher. There will not be a party however the class will do a small lunch time and exchange of cards time. Just with Mr.Kyle, no parents needed to come, thank you though. I will order pizza again. See link, in your email from me, for food sign up for some side dishes and dessert. Send items with your student in the morning please.
I am prepping the class yearbook page, if you have any photos you'd like to share with me please do. And I have a start on our class basket for the Annual Silent Auction on May 2 at Seascape Resort. I'll send out some items I need help with getting soon. And the teachers and room parents are still talking about End of Year party or event.
Thank you for being such awesome parents as my last year as a Room Mom.

Check out the HW page and see the plan for our week! We are starting in on Integers with chapter 6! This will be challenging and stretch our math skills, but don't worry... keep taking good notes, do the homework assigned, ask questions along the way and challenge yourself on the quizzes and tests!
Keep your eye on the dates for AR to end early March! It's coming up sooner than you think, so keep reading daily and keeping your journal organized! I will be giving big participation grades to students that keep good notes and journals organized. Get in the habit of getting and staying organized! This will really serve you well for the rest of this year and all the way through Jr. High, High school and beyond!
Look for the letter from Beth concerning our class and upcoming events like Valentine's Day!
Big week of learning!
Mr. Kyle

I have been going through the NEWSELA Binder assignments for Reading and Science grades so far, and wanted to give information to students that are struggling with the quiz questions. Here ya go:
If you received an 60% or less, your quiz was reset and you should go back ASAP and retake the quiz after rereading the article.
March 1st is the deadline for improving this score.
It's not the grade that counts the most, it's the amount of learning that takes place!
Mr. Kyle
Jan. 22
Worked a long time on the question from BIM 5.6.3 #53. Took me a while to be confident to teach it and I sought help from other colleagues before I was ready! Thanks Mr. Sweet and TC! Pic to the left is the easiest formula for solving the problem. Congrats to the parents that stuck with that problem helping their student and got it right!!! Respect!
There is so much to learn! Gotta make the most of everyday!!
Mr. Kyle
PS. Week Peek is posted on the HW page! Check it out!
Jan. 14
Welcome back everyone! Our class was crazy this morning as the students came in and really wanted to hear and tell all about their vacations! We talked and caught up and it sounds like everyone had a very fun and restful holiday!
We talked about flu season and the need for each of us to look out for one another and take measures to stay healthy.
Flu shots this time of year are a really good idea and can help make all the difference. Please note that the school nurse has resubmitted health sheets to be filled out by the parents. Some students have completed their immunizations while most are still needing to get this done. All students entering Jr. High next year will be required to have these updated!
Dec. 12
Receiving the Crystal Apple award was certainly a highlight of my teaching career! I was very happy to have gotten to share that experience with the students in our class! I really appreciated that none of the students asked if there was a mistake or a mix up and that none of them started picking their nose while being filmed for the KSBW 6 oclock news!
Please confirm that this really happened by watching the news at 6pm on Christmas day KSBW channel 8.
Please talk to your student/parents about a gift for Jet! Our giving during this season involves helping a family! The class chose to help out Jet Ramsey and his family. Please send in any gift cards or gifts by next Thursday the 19th!
Dec. 5
Permission slip for Friday field trip posted above! ATTN. Maddie, TJ. Paxton! No form in the am ...no go!
Talk with your student about this season of giving! We have Second Harvest Food Bank going as well as a former student's child "Jet" and family that could really benefit this season from our love!

With just two days of school this week, we are looking at some short lessons with lots of reading and journaling.
I know everyone is looking forward to doing a nice dinner with their families and friends while anticipating a much needed rest before the wind up towards the big holiday season.
I wish you all a very blessed thanksgiving!

Hello parents,
Our class is in need of a parent volunteer for the yearbook page! This job entails creating a 2-page spread for your child's class via an online program. The school photos will already be placed. You will be responsible for taking a class group photo, and including it in the page along with other photos from the year.
The amount of time this takes can vary. If prepared with the group picture(s) and an idea of a theme for the page, the project can take as few as a couple hours or less. Finding or taking a group class picture can add time, as well as being particularly creative with the layout. Basically, the time spent can be determined by the volunteer. The layouts are completed online and the program contains background and clip art.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email this year's school yearbook coordinator at alyssa_davis@pvusd.net
Thank you!
Oct. 29......It's getting kinda spooky!!
It's starting...the dreaded zombie like behavior that takes over most elementary age students as the scary day of Halloween quickly approaches.
Symptoms include: dazed looks, answering teachers questions with, "Wool no.." and "Huh?!", making funny and strange noises, unconsciously wondering around the classroom, asking to go use the restroom repeatedly as soon as a lesson starts or immediately after a recess or right after walking past the restrooms when coming back from a pull out, not turning in assigned work, and digging through their desk while the teacher is explaining a lesson.
The reason: It took me many years of teaching and researching October student behavior ( aka...OSB) to finally crack this code...but I did it!!! It's candy!
5 Ways to ease the OSB symptoms:
1. Never allow your children to know where you have hidden the Halloween candy!
2. Never assume that they do not know that you have hidden candy in the house...they know!
3. Do not hide candy in the house! I'd give you ideas of where to hide the goods, but the students might actually read these weekly updates and that could turn everything upside down. Berrrr, sends spines down my shivers!!
4. Check their lunch bag each day of Oct. and early Nov. to insure that there is no evidence of contraband is being smuggled!
5. Relax, carve a pumpkin, and do really nice things for your student's teacher to insure their sanity! Educators will need extra support as they wade through the fog of this harrowing Halloween season.
"..The midnight hour is close at hand..."
Happy Halloween everyone!
Mr. Kyle
PS. We gotta lot going on this week!! "Let's do dis thang!"
Oct. 21
Another week of learning and here we go!
We are starting "Investigating the Past" in our TCI History book this week. This will be a break from the Studies Weekly for us and should provide us with insights to a different History curriculum. We will be looking at the ways that social scientist interpret the past and how we can use this information.
Some of the students wanted to know why we're not decorating the room for Halloween. I let them know that we would be having a full day celebration on Oct.31. On that day, we would be doing some decorating and have some really cool events, but I want to keep our learning theme intact and our focus on the curriculum narrow. I compete with plenty of distractions and really don't want to add extras. Thanks for understanding!
Oct. 14
Great week of learning ahead with some quizzes coming up this Friday for Math and Language.
Please make every effort to stay organized and thorough with your Reading notebook. A large portion of your grade will come from the journal entries and organization that you put into your Reading notebook.
Remember to ask your parents if they have already taken care of the classroom fund. Any questions with this can be directed to Beth our room mom. Thanks everyone that has already paid.
Thanks for helping make our Harvest Festival awesome again this year! Hopefully you were nice to the Rock Wall guy, cause that was my boy Carson!
Remember to ask questions regarding grades and the online grade book as they come up. The answers are out there!
Have fun learning this week!
Nice to have electricity!
Mr. Kyle
Oct. 7
Checking in and noting this gorgeous weather! Where on earth can we get this kind of climate in Oct.?! I hope you have been out playing in the sun and soaking up all you can get! I have modified the homework chart to reflect time in the sun.
We do have or final draft for Small Moment coming due this Thursday the 10th. Please help your student by editing their work and seeing if there is anything to help polish this last draft.
I'm saving all the papers that I have graded for your student and plan to give it to you when we do parent teacher conferences in Nov. Let me know if you'd like them earlier or if there are any questions that I can help you with regarding the online grade book or the Week Peek!
Countdown till Halloween!
Yikes!

New day at outdoor School and the students are up early and eager to get on trail and make new adventures! Yesterday the yellow jackets went after Aiden and Vincent leaving them multiple bites. Both boys came through it fearlessly with no side effects other than it really hurt.
Homesickness was at an all time low last night with only little peaks here and there without any debilitating outbursts! Looking forward to a great day of learning together!
Thrasher
Look for more pics later today!
Sept. 17, 2019 Happy Birthday Paige!
Day after arrival at camp and everyone is still accounted for! Aside from the usual homesickness that sets in on the first night around 6pm, everyone did really well! Our class meeting netted no concerns with cabins or groupings with Naturalists. Our students were dubbed excited and very curious to learn. Trail manners were positive with many students showing quick response to instructions and signals.
Today students are split into two groups doing the long hike and the others doing TCC (Trust, communication, cooperation) and the ropes course. We should have some great stories tonight at our class meeting.
There will be some low quality pics here later today. Better quality tomorrow after I find my transfer cable!

I will try to link up class pictures. at camp here through my blog so stay tuned!
Here is the Monday morning check-list to send students off to Outdoor Science School:
1.) Wear tie-dye shirts
2.) Arrive to school between 8:15-8:30am

4.) Bring a sack lunch from home (unless otherwise arranged by the brown bag permission slips)
5.) Bring all medication clearly labeled to your teacher to transport. (Medication will be delivered to the Outdoor Science School nurse.)
6.) Refer to the blog for all of the things students should bring and NOT bring.
7. ) We return at 12:00 to Rio del Mar so please be here to pick up your child on time. They get pretty sad when they are the last ones picked up!
8.) You will need to sign out your child with your teacher to take them home.

Please note that if you scroll down, you will see previous posts and be able to keep up with what has happened earlier this year.
Science Camp is coming in 7 days! Please note the check list above! Your student is going to be checking stuff off and packing this week as our way of getting ready for next week! Hope this will help them remember everything they will need to make this a great week of learning at science camp!
We still need some papers and $ from about ten students. I have three students that have no papers turned in and I am waiting to hear what the play is?! If your student is not coming, I need to know that ASAP so that I can arrange for them to be in another teachers classroom during that week. Science camp is school that week and we expect everyone to participate and to not miss out on this incredible learning experience.
Make sure to get the doctor signatures for meds if your child is going to need to take them during outdoor school! www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2M3FQd-N9Y&authuser=0 is a quick video that will answer the med questions for outdoor school!

Hope y'all had a wonderful three day weekend and celebrated Labor day without doing labor! I had many chores to catch up that did not include golfing, mountain biking, or any surfboard riding! The house looks good but I am tired!
Still time to bring in a new white T Shirt for a Tie Dye project we started this past Friday. Many students got their shirts knotted up with rubber bands and have them soaking in their zip lock bag. These shirts will be ready to add colors to this Friday when we see our art teacher!

Please bring in a new white T Shirt for a Tie Dye project starting this Friday. Each year that the students go to science camp we like to wear tie dye shirts the first day! It is short notice, but it will be so worth it.
Let me know if you can donate bags or T Shirts as this would really help expedite the completion of this project!
Be sure to watch Science Camp presentation video with your parents before back to school night tomorrow! bit.ly/SCOSPP
Thx,
Mr. "Thrasher" Kyle
The cost for Science Camp this year is $371. This price reflects the funds raised from last year as well the price for a five day camp experience and student transportation. There is a youtube presentation video for outdoor school that is assigned for this week to watch with your students at home before back to school night. Please use the link above to watch the video.
If you have questions or concerns, I will be happy to talk with you after the class presentation on Thursday evening.
Please use this site to keep up with the adventures in Room 18!
I have updated the homework page so that the Week Peek reveals the homework and classwork pattern for the five days of school. This is the place students can check and make sure they see what is coming up, what test or quiz to prepare for, which papers need to handed in and when!
It's Tuesday, but Ride Day is coming! Join us Friday am at the corner of Clubhouse Drive and Sumner 7:35!
Thanks everyone for a great start to an amazing year of learning! Last two days have been really enjoyable getting to know everyone while sharing stories and adventures. I hope your student is coming home, after school, happy and excited about what's going on and what's coming up in room 18!
Friday is Ride Day and I will be riding my bike to school! If you'd like to join me and ride, I will be at the bottom of Clubhouse drive and Sumner at 7:30. I won't wait, so please time it so we can just keep peddling through the corner and come up the hill!
Please check the homework page and see today's updates!
Ride Day Crew unite!

Dear Students and Parents,
I am looking forward to meeting each of you and starting an exciting journey of learning together this year in Room 18!
We have a lot of exciting curriculum to travel through and many ways that we will be challenging ourselves to becoming the best lifelong learners possible!
I (Mr. Kyle) will be your guide as we discover all the incredibly unique and interesting things in our grade level curriculum!
I know you will enjoy being in room 18 as I will be giving you each ownership of the class this year! Students will be helping by having classroom jobs that benefit the classroom and our school as a whole! We will be having class meetings so that you can voice opinions, ideas and concerns on a regular basis.
It's going to be a great journey! Are you ready? Lace up, grab your backpack and lunch and off we go!
Check out the supplies page that I have attached to this site so you can get some of your materials together before our adventure begins!

There are some really good articles about COVID-19 on NEWSELA. I just assigned one that is called: Fear is normal, but keep it in check. There are some other good ones and I hope you will check them out and take the quizzes as well. If you stumble onto a good one and you think that your classmates would like it and or benefit from it, please let me know and I will add it to our binder.
Please network with your classmates and let them know that there are assigned tasks being added to our website. This way once we return to school we will have a lot of the same background knowledge and have some good discussion.
Please continue to develop your Problem Solution Write. I will post something on Google Classroom shortly so you can check in and start sharing your Google document with me.
Stay healthy and keep washing your hands and don't touch your face!

Why is it when we are not allowed to come to school we miss our friends more than ever?
So, it looks like for the next few days we need to stay away from school. I fed the fish a little extra and
took everything off all the counters and flat areas in the classroom. We will need to help each other organize all that
stuff when we get back.
As far a Math homework, please try your best effort on the BIM 9.2.1. Use your online BIM book to help you find answers and insights. I have extended the due date to Tuesday the 17th, so do not worry about it being overdue. Check the HW page for some Pi challenges. I'll post the answers later!
Anne of Green Gables can be read at home or if you want you can access the audio and read along. If you don't have access to the book...www.planetebook.com/free-ebooks/anne-of-green-gables.pdf, feel free to simply listen to a few chapters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=STHkJqnJfO0&t=887s

Please check the www.pvusd.net website for updates on the COVID-19 and our district's schools.
We just received word today that we are unable to take any field trips out of our county till the end of May for fears of the virus.
I have been inputting the grades that I have into iGrades www.igradeplus.com/ and making changes as students hustle to get their late work and quizzes completed. Please check the grades so that you can see any progress or changes as the occur.

Looks like the kids that stayed and did the track and fitness with Mr. Sweet had a really good time today! Hopefully you have been enjoying this great weather and finding time outdoors that you can spend with your family. Tut Tut looks like rain is in the forecast starting Sat. am and then again Mon.-Wed. That's okay though, cause we need the rain and some more snow up in them thar hills!
Please check the HW page and stay caught up on whats going on in room 18! There is a scoop page there too so you can see what is coming up and things to watch out for. Remember, if you're ever absent, you can always check the website and see what we are doing. There are no real reasons to fall behind!
Pushing towards spring,

Welcome back! So nice to have the writer's workshop completed! All the Information writes were turned in and came out looking very nice. I will be keeping the writing in class and then giving them back to students after the Open House in spring!
Feb. 18
Please try to get students to school each day and on time! We are trying to up the attendance at Rio and your help is very much appreciated! Teachers are negotiating for a raise, it will be 1% if we can improve students being in class each day! Keep in mind...if your student is running a temperature, please keep them home! I am doing everything here at school to keep our student's health in top form!

Hi Mr.Kyle's class-
Mr. Kyle is in need of some class supplies. If you can help with any of these, send with your child in the next 2 weeks. Class needs: Kleenex, Paper Towels,and Candy. Candy ideas: large like from Costco or Smart & Final or Target- , Jelly Belly, M&M's plain, Red vines, Starburst, Sour Patch kids, or pretty much anything your child will eat.
Valentine's Day Fun- First of all your child is NOT required to participate in doing valentine cards or treat. However if you child chooses to do so they MUST include every child in class. Don't forget something cute for teacher. There will not be a party however the class will do a small lunch time and exchange of cards time. Just with Mr.Kyle, no parents needed to come, thank you though. I will order pizza again. See link, in your email from me, for food sign up for some side dishes and dessert. Send items with your student in the morning please.
I am prepping the class yearbook page, if you have any photos you'd like to share with me please do. And I have a start on our class basket for the Annual Silent Auction on May 2 at Seascape Resort. I'll send out some items I need help with getting soon. And the teachers and room parents are still talking about End of Year party or event.
Thank you for being such awesome parents as my last year as a Room Mom.

Check out the HW page and see the plan for our week! We are starting in on Integers with chapter 6! This will be challenging and stretch our math skills, but don't worry... keep taking good notes, do the homework assigned, ask questions along the way and challenge yourself on the quizzes and tests!
Keep your eye on the dates for AR to end early March! It's coming up sooner than you think, so keep reading daily and keeping your journal organized! I will be giving big participation grades to students that keep good notes and journals organized. Get in the habit of getting and staying organized! This will really serve you well for the rest of this year and all the way through Jr. High, High school and beyond!
Look for the letter from Beth concerning our class and upcoming events like Valentine's Day!
Big week of learning!
Mr. Kyle

I have been going through the NEWSELA Binder assignments for Reading and Science grades so far, and wanted to give information to students that are struggling with the quiz questions. Here ya go:
If you received an 60% or less, your quiz was reset and you should go back ASAP and retake the quiz after rereading the article.
March 1st is the deadline for improving this score.
It's not the grade that counts the most, it's the amount of learning that takes place!
Mr. Kyle
Jan. 22
Worked a long time on the question from BIM 5.6.3 #53. Took me a while to be confident to teach it and I sought help from other colleagues before I was ready! Thanks Mr. Sweet and TC! Pic to the left is the easiest formula for solving the problem. Congrats to the parents that stuck with that problem helping their student and got it right!!! Respect!
There is so much to learn! Gotta make the most of everyday!!
Mr. Kyle
PS. Week Peek is posted on the HW page! Check it out!

Welcome back everyone! Our class was crazy this morning as the students came in and really wanted to hear and tell all about their vacations! We talked and caught up and it sounds like everyone had a very fun and restful holiday!
We talked about flu season and the need for each of us to look out for one another and take measures to stay healthy.
Flu shots this time of year are a really good idea and can help make all the difference. Please note that the school nurse has resubmitted health sheets to be filled out by the parents. Some students have completed their immunizations while most are still needing to get this done. All students entering Jr. High next year will be required to have these updated!
Dec. 12
Receiving the Crystal Apple award was certainly a highlight of my teaching career! I was very happy to have gotten to share that experience with the students in our class! I really appreciated that none of the students asked if there was a mistake or a mix up and that none of them started picking their nose while being filmed for the KSBW 6 oclock news!
Please confirm that this really happened by watching the news at 6pm on Christmas day KSBW channel 8.
Please talk to your student/parents about a gift for Jet! Our giving during this season involves helping a family! The class chose to help out Jet Ramsey and his family. Please send in any gift cards or gifts by next Thursday the 19th!
Dec. 5
Permission slip for Friday field trip posted above! ATTN. Maddie, TJ. Paxton! No form in the am ...no go!
Talk with your student about this season of giving! We have Second Harvest Food Bank going as well as a former student's child "Jet" and family that could really benefit this season from our love!
Mr. Kyle
Check the Week Peek on the Homework page.

With just two days of school this week, we are looking at some short lessons with lots of reading and journaling.
I know everyone is looking forward to doing a nice dinner with their families and friends while anticipating a much needed rest before the wind up towards the big holiday season.
I wish you all a very blessed thanksgiving!

Please check out the PTC (Parent Teacher Conference) pic above!
You'll notice that all students and their parents are represented. If something comes up and you need to make a change, please let me know so can reschedule.
AR Period 2 began Monday! This period will run all the way till the end of the 2nd Trimester! Everyone has started with a clean slate and new goals with great books to read!

Hello parents,
Our class is in need of a parent volunteer for the yearbook page! This job entails creating a 2-page spread for your child's class via an online program. The school photos will already be placed. You will be responsible for taking a class group photo, and including it in the page along with other photos from the year.
The amount of time this takes can vary. If prepared with the group picture(s) and an idea of a theme for the page, the project can take as few as a couple hours or less. Finding or taking a group class picture can add time, as well as being particularly creative with the layout. Basically, the time spent can be determined by the volunteer. The layouts are completed online and the program contains background and clip art.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email this year's school yearbook coordinator at alyssa_davis@pvusd.net
Thank you!
Oct. 29......It's getting kinda spooky!!
It's starting...the dreaded zombie like behavior that takes over most elementary age students as the scary day of Halloween quickly approaches.
Symptoms include: dazed looks, answering teachers questions with, "Wool no.." and "Huh?!", making funny and strange noises, unconsciously wondering around the classroom, asking to go use the restroom repeatedly as soon as a lesson starts or immediately after a recess or right after walking past the restrooms when coming back from a pull out, not turning in assigned work, and digging through their desk while the teacher is explaining a lesson.
The reason: It took me many years of teaching and researching October student behavior ( aka...OSB) to finally crack this code...but I did it!!! It's candy!
5 Ways to ease the OSB symptoms:
1. Never allow your children to know where you have hidden the Halloween candy!
2. Never assume that they do not know that you have hidden candy in the house...they know!
3. Do not hide candy in the house! I'd give you ideas of where to hide the goods, but the students might actually read these weekly updates and that could turn everything upside down. Berrrr, sends spines down my shivers!!
4. Check their lunch bag each day of Oct. and early Nov. to insure that there is no evidence of contraband is being smuggled!
5. Relax, carve a pumpkin, and do really nice things for your student's teacher to insure their sanity! Educators will need extra support as they wade through the fog of this harrowing Halloween season.
"..The midnight hour is close at hand..."
Happy Halloween everyone!
Mr. Kyle
PS. We gotta lot going on this week!! "Let's do dis thang!"
Oct. 21
Another week of learning and here we go!
We are starting "Investigating the Past" in our TCI History book this week. This will be a break from the Studies Weekly for us and should provide us with insights to a different History curriculum. We will be looking at the ways that social scientist interpret the past and how we can use this information.
Some of the students wanted to know why we're not decorating the room for Halloween. I let them know that we would be having a full day celebration on Oct.31. On that day, we would be doing some decorating and have some really cool events, but I want to keep our learning theme intact and our focus on the curriculum narrow. I compete with plenty of distractions and really don't want to add extras. Thanks for understanding!
Oct. 14
Great week of learning ahead with some quizzes coming up this Friday for Math and Language.
Please make every effort to stay organized and thorough with your Reading notebook. A large portion of your grade will come from the journal entries and organization that you put into your Reading notebook.
Remember to ask your parents if they have already taken care of the classroom fund. Any questions with this can be directed to Beth our room mom. Thanks everyone that has already paid.
Thanks for helping make our Harvest Festival awesome again this year! Hopefully you were nice to the Rock Wall guy, cause that was my boy Carson!
Remember to ask questions regarding grades and the online grade book as they come up. The answers are out there!
Have fun learning this week!
Nice to have electricity!
Mr. Kyle
Oct. 7
Checking in and noting this gorgeous weather! Where on earth can we get this kind of climate in Oct.?! I hope you have been out playing in the sun and soaking up all you can get! I have modified the homework chart to reflect time in the sun.
We do have or final draft for Small Moment coming due this Thursday the 10th. Please help your student by editing their work and seeing if there is anything to help polish this last draft.
I'm saving all the papers that I have graded for your student and plan to give it to you when we do parent teacher conferences in Nov. Let me know if you'd like them earlier or if there are any questions that I can help you with regarding the online grade book or the Week Peek!
Countdown till Halloween!
Yikes!

New day at outdoor School and the students are up early and eager to get on trail and make new adventures! Yesterday the yellow jackets went after Aiden and Vincent leaving them multiple bites. Both boys came through it fearlessly with no side effects other than it really hurt.
Homesickness was at an all time low last night with only little peaks here and there without any debilitating outbursts! Looking forward to a great day of learning together!
Thrasher
Look for more pics later today!
Sept. 17, 2019 Happy Birthday Paige!
Day after arrival at camp and everyone is still accounted for! Aside from the usual homesickness that sets in on the first night around 6pm, everyone did really well! Our class meeting netted no concerns with cabins or groupings with Naturalists. Our students were dubbed excited and very curious to learn. Trail manners were positive with many students showing quick response to instructions and signals.
Today students are split into two groups doing the long hike and the others doing TCC (Trust, communication, cooperation) and the ropes course. We should have some great stories tonight at our class meeting.
There will be some low quality pics here later today. Better quality tomorrow after I find my transfer cable!

4.) Bring a sack lunch from home (unless otherwise arranged by the brown bag permission slips)
5.) Bring all medication clearly labeled to your teacher to transport. (Medication will be delivered to the Outdoor Science School nurse.)
6.) Refer to the blog for all of the things students should bring and NOT bring.
7. ) We return at 12:00 to Rio del Mar so please be here to pick up your child on time. They get pretty sad when they are the last ones picked up!
8.) You will need to sign out your child with your teacher to take them home.

Happy Monday! This month is going to roar by as we are doing so much together! I hope that you are able to use this site as a place to check in and keep up with what is going on in our classroom day to day. Please note that if you scroll down, you will see previous posts and be able to keep up with what has happened earlier this year.
Science Camp is coming in 7 days! Please note the check list above! Your student is going to be checking stuff off and packing this week as our way of getting ready for next week! Hope this will help them remember everything they will need to make this a great week of learning at science camp!
We still need some papers and $ from about ten students. I have three students that have no papers turned in and I am waiting to hear what the play is?! If your student is not coming, I need to know that ASAP so that I can arrange for them to be in another teachers classroom during that week. Science camp is school that week and we expect everyone to participate and to not miss out on this incredible learning experience.
Make sure to get the doctor signatures for meds if your child is going to need to take them during outdoor school! www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2M3FQd-N9Y&authuser=0 is a quick video that will answer the med questions for outdoor school!

Hope y'all had a wonderful three day weekend and celebrated Labor day without doing labor! I had many chores to catch up that did not include golfing, mountain biking, or any surfboard riding! The house looks good but I am tired!
Still time to bring in a new white T Shirt for a Tie Dye project we started this past Friday. Many students got their shirts knotted up with rubber bands and have them soaking in their zip lock bag. These shirts will be ready to add colors to this Friday when we see our art teacher!
Science Camp is coming in 13 days! We need all papers and $ in by this Friday the 6th.

Please bring in a new white T Shirt for a Tie Dye project starting this Friday. Each year that the students go to science camp we like to wear tie dye shirts the first day! It is short notice, but it will be so worth it.
Let me know if you can donate bags or T Shirts as this would really help expedite the completion of this project!
Be sure to watch Science Camp presentation video with your parents before back to school night tomorrow! bit.ly/SCOSPP
Thx,
Mr. "Thrasher" Kyle
The cost for Science Camp this year is $371. This price reflects the funds raised from last year as well the price for a five day camp experience and student transportation. There is a youtube presentation video for outdoor school that is assigned for this week to watch with your students at home before back to school night. Please use the link above to watch the video.
If you have questions or concerns, I will be happy to talk with you after the class presentation on Thursday evening.
Please use this site to keep up with the adventures in Room 18!
I have updated the homework page so that the Week Peek reveals the homework and classwork pattern for the five days of school. This is the place students can check and make sure they see what is coming up, what test or quiz to prepare for, which papers need to handed in and when!
It's Tuesday, but Ride Day is coming! Join us Friday am at the corner of Clubhouse Drive and Sumner 7:35!
Thanks everyone for a great start to an amazing year of learning! Last two days have been really enjoyable getting to know everyone while sharing stories and adventures. I hope your student is coming home, after school, happy and excited about what's going on and what's coming up in room 18!
Friday is Ride Day and I will be riding my bike to school! If you'd like to join me and ride, I will be at the bottom of Clubhouse drive and Sumner at 7:30. I won't wait, so please time it so we can just keep peddling through the corner and come up the hill!
Please check the homework page and see today's updates!
Ride Day Crew unite!

Dear Students and Parents,
I am looking forward to meeting each of you and starting an exciting journey of learning together this year in Room 18!
We have a lot of exciting curriculum to travel through and many ways that we will be challenging ourselves to becoming the best lifelong learners possible!
I (Mr. Kyle) will be your guide as we discover all the incredibly unique and interesting things in our grade level curriculum!
I know you will enjoy being in room 18 as I will be giving you each ownership of the class this year! Students will be helping by having classroom jobs that benefit the classroom and our school as a whole! We will be having class meetings so that you can voice opinions, ideas and concerns on a regular basis.
It's going to be a great journey! Are you ready? Lace up, grab your backpack and lunch and off we go!
Check out the supplies page that I have attached to this site so you can get some of your materials together before our adventure begins!
Fun and Ownership in Learning,
Mr. Kyle
