Welcome back! It was a rainy weekend, but so nice to have an extra day off. Well, it was for the teacher and the children. For the parents, well, maybe it was different.
We started off today with Independent Reading. We went on to our new Open Court Reading story this week. This is called "Shadow of a Bull". It tells the story of Manolo Olivar, the son of a famous Spanish bullfighter. Everybody in his small town expects him to be a bullfighter like his late father, but he years to be a doctor. It's from an old Newbery Award winner.
The fabulous student musicians from the Colburn School came by for a concert. They did a number of marvelous selections including two pieces by Mozart, an excerpt from Mendelsohns's Midsummer Night's Dream, and Sheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov.
After lunch, we corrected our math test. We also began correcting some of our history work. We did not quite finish that, so we'll do more of than tomorrow.
