School News

As I said earlier, W, made A honor roll the third nine weeks.  L made A-B honor roll.  They both get to attend the honor roll celebration for their grade next week.  L was also chosen by his teacher to be on the Safety Patrol the fourth nine weeks.  Each fifth grade teacher chooses a few students each nine weeks to serve.  They work on parent drive, and stand at the entrances to each pod.  If you are a student, trying to gain access without a parent or teacher, you can hang it up!  No one is allowed in the classrooms until the bell rings.  K-1 are in the cafeteria, and 2-5 are in the gym line dancing with Mrs. Huneycutt.  They get to wear a vest type thing, and take it very seriously.  The down side?  I have to drive him to school every day by 8-8:10.  W still has to ride the bus because students can't come to school before 8:15, or you get charged for 'before school care'.  My mom checked L's math during Easter break, and called to tell me that I won't be able to check his homework too much longer.  I replied, "What are you talking about?  I can't check it now!"  They learned the formula for Pi already.  I know I didn't learn that until eighth grade.  He is multiplying and dividing fractions, and finding area, perimeter, and volume.  Last night I had to get L to show me how to check one of W's math problems.  I also had to make sure that a hexagon had 6 sides, lol.  W is finding angles in geometric shapes.  Right, obtuse, acute, etc.  The question was something along the lines of...."Sally had a hexagon, a pentagon and two quadrilaterals.  How many angles did she have left, if you take away five?  I want to say, "Tell Sally that won't matter one hundred years from now!"
