I see Sunshine!! Maybe we can go out on the track for a little while this afternoon and run off some energy.

Muscle Shoals High School won the WHNT Pep Rally. Tomorrow is black-out day. Wear black. I hope to get some good pictures. (If I remember my camera!!) I think someone said we should be on the 6:00 P.M. news.

Curriculum wise - Next week we will begin multiplication!! This is a unit on what multiplication is. We will not be memorizing facts just yet. It never hurts to start early at home though. We begin with multiplication as repeated addition. This will be solely an AMSTI unit. Students will not be working in workbooks, but worksheets. Some nights they might not have math homework at all. On these nights you could review some facts start with 2's. Then 4's are double 2's, and 8's are double 4's. Then 3's, 6's are double 3's 9's are triple 3's. This unit is designed to teach students that multiplication is a fast way to add equal groups of things.

Don't forget next Tuesday is Fall picture day. This will be the picture that will appear in the yearbook. We will probably also get our group picture made that day.

Well, we are off to complete our first major science test of the year.
