Scheduled Lives

We learned tons of Social Studies today! I love the American Revolution! Some of the most interesting stuff comes from this time in history.

Gave the kids a book report today that is due on Monday. It's not a big project--don't panic. The meaning exercise is due tomorrow.

The remainder of the Math Bowl schedule is as follows. I'll give out a hard copy of this to the kids tomorrow, but I just got the rest of it finalized today. We've been working on this in class since my class is just the right size for an entire Math Bowl team. There is only one boy who wanted to be counted out, so that makes twenty even.

First off, if we have any time in class during ISTEP week, this is what we're going to focus on. I would really like it if on some of those days we would just be able to work straight through after school until 3:30. Math is at the end of the day, and I think it would really help to be able to work for two straight hours at least four or five times between now and the Math Bowl.

In case you didn't know, Math Bowl itself is Thursday afternoon, March 11 at Forest Dale, beginning at 5:00. I'd like for all the kids to be there by 4:30. It's always over by 7:00 at the latest.

Even though it's kind of a small-scale short-term deal, I always like for my teams to be as good as they can possibly be, and I like for them to have a good time. It's impossible to know what is going to be on each Math Bowl test, but we're going to give it a go.

Here's the schedule (subject to alteration...just make as many as you can):

Monday, March 1 Practice after school until 3:30
Tuesday, March 2 Practice after school until 3:30
Wednesday, March 3 Practice after school until 3:30
Thursday, March 4 Practice after school until 3:30

Monday, March 8 Practice after school until 3:30
Tuesday, March 9 Practice after school until 3:30
Wednesday, March 10 Practice after school until 3:30

Thursday, March 11 Math Bowl competition at Forest Dale, arrive at 4:30

We'll also be practicing during class!
