Even a turtle reaches his destination.
As a parent myself, I'm often looking for games (board and video) my kids will enjoy and that are appropriate. If you find yourself in the same position, here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Carcassonne: it's a tile-based strategy game which is engrossing for kids and adults alike. It's available in an electronic version (app), but it began as a board game.
2. Kerbal Space Program: a video game that challenges kids (and adults - I play it with my son) to build rockets that will make it to orbit around Earth and beyond. It's challenging, interesting, and quite funny (you will see when you play).
If you have any further suggestions, fire them my way and I'll post them on the blog!

1. English: no lesson today as kids were either getting shots for HPV or helping out with "Take me Outside"
2. Math: we are examining the formula for determining the volume of triangular prisms. Should you have any kicking around the house (large toblerone bar...), ask your child to calculate its volume. We did lesson 3.4 and the homework is for tonight.

1. Math: we went over the measurement test (handed it back) so please take a moment to look it over with your child. As with all tests in term 1, there will be a re-test for those who wish to give their grade a "makeover". We began our unit on patterning today (1.5 in the textbook). Homework:
2. English: handed back "Show, Don't Tell" test and took up some of the truly stunning work created by the class; I was so impressed by the quality that I made a poster of their work and put it on my classroom door.
