In the news...
There's a lot to remember when you're a learner driver but a pretty good rule is: don't pull out in front of tanks.
That's what happened to an 18-year-old driving this Toyota Yaris in the Lippe district of Germany on Monday.
According to local police she pulled out in front of a column of British military vehicles travelling on a ring road around the town, often used by British forces stationed nearby to transport tanks and other armoured vehicles.
The driver of the tank, a 24-year-old British serviceman, wasn't able to bring his Challenger 2 tank to a stop in time.
Inevitably, in a battle between 62-tonnes of armour and a one-tonne hatchback, there was only going to be one winner.
Luckily the driver of the car was completely unharmed in the incident, and the tank crew pulled her free.
The car, however, suffered 12,000 euros (£8,600) worth of damage.
The tank, not entirely surprisingly - was unscathed.

End of the first week.
A few things as we wait to make sure all the chips have fallen and all the ducks are in a row. The school's population continues to grow, so experience suggests writing a class schedule in ink isn't always good idea. That being said, here are a few current times everyone likes to know: gym is on Days 2, 4, 7, 9 (at 1245), Music is on Days 1, 3, 6, and 8 (at 1055), and Book Exchange is on Days 2 and 7 (at 305). French is every morning, except Days 1 and 6 (at 900).
We had a few diagnostic tests this week, and we'll have a few more next week.
Please make sure you have a book to read at school. If you don't have one, we do have the book cart you can look through so you can find something that interests you.
We will start our weekly tasks next week. These include reading comprehension, cursive writing, and multiplication practice sheets. They will be given to the class at the beginning of the week and they are due the following Monday. These pages should remain at school so students have something to do if they finish a tasks before theirs classmates.
September 3, 2014

Everyone was here today. Yeah! We had a few diagnostic tests (A.K.A. "What do you already know?" tests.)
