Math: Great class today! It was somewhat abbreviated since my homeroom had MAP-R this morning, but it was extremely productive nonetheless. I worked through similar multiplication problems using two different methods: partial products and lattice multiplication. There is a notes page coming home tonight that should provide a pretty specific lesson - they should solve the two problems in their journals using both methods.

Language Arts: We took MAP-R for the 3rd and final time this morning. Collectively we made significant growth from Fall-Winter-Spring...I'm pleased and proud of their efforts. They do know their scores so if you're interested, please ask them. If they can't remember, shoot me an email...

Science: We had a chaotic (practical though...) afternoon chockful of plants! We planted herb seeds to be be harvested and/or taken home at the end of the year. We know Damascus can farm but we'll see if the kids can...
