Good Afternoon,

  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I spent the weekend in D.C. talking to a group of teachers about math and the results of the project that we worked on all of last year.  It is very exciting to see that teachers from all around the country are downloading and using the lessons that we created.

  This morning we had an assembly led by the school's leadership committee (5th and 6th graders).  They have asked the school to focus on random acts of kindness and have challenged us to fill our rock bin (because of the acts) before break.  Students and teachers will be looking for and engaging in  random acts of kindness throughout the day.  The following video was presented to the students.  I find this video to be very powerful and it fostered a great discussion back in our classroom.

<br />
I hope you all have a great week.

Peace,
Tommy
