Thank you so much for making sure the students are picked up on time!! 

Parents, please help us encourage your students to do their very best in class!!  We want all of our pentathletes to always do their best and show good sportsmanship!  Also, please remember to remind your students that they have Math Pentathlon on Monday mornings before coming to school.  We have had problems with a few students forgetting and getting on the buses or going in the car rider/walker lines.  A reminder to their teacher on Monday mornings might help as well.

Division I recap:

Today our Division I students were introduced to a new game — Calla.  If you have ever played Mancala, this game is very similar with only a few rule changes.  Ask your child how many cubes they need to collect in their calla to win…(at least 17.)

Division II recap:

Our Division II students also started a new game today — PAR 55.  Be sure to ask your child what PAR stands for…(perception attribute race.)  Students will move their pawn around the board by finding differences between different attribute blocks that are placed on the board.

Division III recap:

Stars and Bars is the name of the new game our Division III students started today.  Also a game based on differences in attributes, the students because familiar with the Stars & Bars cards and the different attributes with which they will be working.  Ask them what they are…(color, shape, stars and bars.)

Please try to make it to our next Monday Math Night, which will be next Monday, October 27th.  We start at 6:30 and this time we will have 2 games out for each Division.  For Division III, we will have a “pre-game” out for them to play called Triple Play.  This is a game related to Stars & Bars that helps lead into the game with the same concepts, but less rules to follow at first.  We had a great turn out for our first Monday Math Night and we hope to see the same kind of success with next week!!
