Yesterday we did our "Grammar Rap" in front of the Lower School. Everyone was quite impressed with our singing. Even Dr. Neale made a comment on our song. We hope that this catchy tune will help the students in the future with the parts of speech. If you missed us, please ask your child to sing the rap to you!

Math 5 - students in my Math 5 class are working on multiplying decimals. The children seem to really understand how to do this. I will be tutoring Tuesday from 3:00 to 3:30. There is no homework tonight. Please review basic multiplication facts with your child.

Math 6 - students learned how to divide a decimal by a decimal. I was pleased with how quickly the children caught on to this new topic. Homework for tonight is practicing dividing decimals - page P2-9.

The first quarter ends on Wednesday, October 21st. Report cards will be sent home on Wednesday, October 27th.
