Just back from a visit to Wilson County. I spent the afternoon with 80 or so first graders who are learning about different careers at Rutland Elementary in Mt. Juliet. We talked plenty of weather and the group was well-behaved and came equipped with great questions. Their parents and teachers can be proud!
If you look at the picture closely, you’ll notice that all of the students are very well dressed - I didn’t ask, but I’m guessing there’s a dress code at the school. Whatever the case, I was impressed. Why didn’t my elementary school do that?









Have you seen this before? It’s a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 71067, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
