Grammar Review

We quickly reviewed subjects and predicates today. Each student received part of a sentence and had to find the classmate who held either the missing subject or predicate to make a logical sentence.

Snowy Weather on Friday!


Character Activity

The 9-1 boys met with their 6-B character buddy class. We spent time discussing handshakes, and then headed out to introduce ourselves to members of our community.

Here are some of the Sixth Agers introductions filmed by the Ninth Age boys. Many thanks to our Calvert community for volunteering to participate in our activity.

Multiplication Review

In class we are continuing to explore a number of ways to solve new and challenging multiplication problems. Yesterday students used doubling, arrays, and skip counting to show their knowledge of their 6x facts. The students are working nightly to practice their facts, which has helped their confidence continue to grow, even as we add new factors into the mix! Terrific job!
