Well here we are on a rainy Friday. We started the day with a chat about expectations and the students really seemed to be making an effort to meet my goals. Thanks! We learned about Mozart today. He started to teach himself to play the piano at the age of 4 and composed his first musical piece before he was 6! We also took a math test. If the speed with which the class got done with the test is any indication, then it was pretty easy. We also did some work for Grand Day.

Just an FYI. Thaddeus had some tests done a few weeks back and it was decided due to deteriorating oxygen distribution that his third surgery needed to be moved up significantly. The surgery is now scheduled for Tuesday October 23rd. This will cause us to need to have some flexibility in scheduling parent teacher conferences. I will be in touch when the date gets closer.

Hello everyone. It was a bit of a wild day back today. Some students seemed to have forgotten we were back in school! We had a good day none the less. We reviewed the US and Canada a bit and will be ready for the test tomorrow. We also decided that we need to work a bit more on being careful on our math assignments. We looked at fractions and measuring with rulers. Really just a lot of counting. In English we went over the different parts of classifying sentences. We had a hard time working together at times, but brought it all together in the end.
