Snow, School, Snow, School....

Girls, remember to give the Foreign Language letter to your parents!  This is an exciting and important decision that you are making--the choice of whether to take Spanish or Chinese next year!
The paper has to be returned by January 25, 2018.

What a crazy whirlwind of school, snow, school, snow...we have had, but in spite of this, we have taken advantage of every minute of academic time we could.  In math, we are adding and subtracting mixed fractions with unlike denominators.  You may notice that Singapore suggests that computation be horizontal as opposed to vertical...probably different from what you learned!  In their written reflections the girls expressed a lot of curiosity about decimals, plus we are on the second unit of fractions, and they are a little tired of just fractions, so we deviated from the course this week.  Last night they looked for examples of uses for decimals.  You may have helped them do this, but I bet you would not have expected how truly excited they were in class today.  They LOVED it and asked for more homework like that. As I have said before...this is quite the unusual class!!!  Enthusiasm for everything!

Health and Wellness Month

Because this week the focus has been on the MIND, and the ways we can keep our minds healthy,
the Wellness Committee made a special labyrinth for the girls to experience. It is located in on the terrace on the Green.  They were invited to move along the path and meditate or think creatively or spiritually...pretty cool for the girls. This morning we had a total school Shouting Prayer on the Green. Girls who have gone to Shrine Mont have experienced this, but others have not.  Ask your daughters about it!

Your girls are bringing home letters today from the PE Department with wellness tips for the girls to try at home.  Great ideas!

Lots of action in M06....

I think that you know what this is!  Look familiar!  Say hello to your younger self and welcome back to the 80s!
