Sorry for the late post

Hello,

The day went pretty well.  Lots of volcano talk. Classroom job talk.

You'll see the math workbook come home for the first time tonight.  The assignment is to do problems 1 - 10 starting on page 3.  I couldn't get that on the homework calendar without google rewriting it as taking place between one and ten pm.

A little job application went home as well. This is more informal than I have done in past years, but hopefully easier for them to do. You may give some suggestions for references.

We had our first official Rocket Math tests.  Good to get them going.  Everyone is starting with addition.  The idea is to get our addition facts down cold. The tests go from A to Z.  Everyone started between A and J, depending on their pretests.

Art class seemed to go well again.  I don't know Mrs. Crosby very well, but I have been nothing but impressed with our music and art programs here at HBS.  I'm sure that she is continuing the excellent instruction that seems to be the norm in their departments.

I am running late and when I start dishing out compliments, I figure I'm getting light-headed.

Thanks for reading this brief blog. I figure with the fifty four pounds of student mail, you've read enough tonight. (That sounds more like me.)

Mr. Shea
