Assembly is this Friday at 9am!

We have our first performance assembly on Friday, October 3rd at 9am. A full dress rehearsal will occur Thursday, October 2nd, for all lower school students to view, and on the Friday performance, family and friends are invited to attend. We look forward to seeing you there.

In other news, I hope to use this blog to keep you up-to-date about the techniques we are using in math. Today, I have a few games and activities you may wish to try with your kids:

The Factor Game: We played a pencil and paper version of this game in class. Try this version with your kids!

Grid Method: This activity practices the partial products method of multiplication that we have been practicing in class. If this sounds like a foreign language to you, I encourage you to check out this site! http://www.iboard.co.uk/iwb/Grid-Method-547

Volume: This activity reviews the work we've been doing with rectangular prisms. http://www.interactivestuff.org/sums4fun/3dboxes.html
