Hi everyone, Director Doug here. Well, once again, I get to choose my favorite mini and share it with you.

I'm a big fan of classical music and one of our minis from last year featured Claire DeLoon by Debussy,

which is a favorite of mine. I have a bit of a soft spot for that piece because my son, who's now 30 years old, really

loved listening to it as a young boy, so it brings back some very nice memories from my past.

The story in this mini that focused on the value of hard work and perseverance, I think,

is a very important message that we all need to be reminded of. Don't get discouraged when

things get a little tough. Stick with it. Work hard. And with God's help, you'll be able to

accomplish great things. I hope you really enjoy today's mini.

Hi, Miss Jean here. Have you started school again for the year? Well, how are you feeling about your classes?

Is there one class that you struggle with more than the others? Well, for Janet, algebra is a struggle.

Like a few of her friends, she decided to take algebra one during her eighth grade

year. But right now, Janet's rethinking her decision to take this high school class early. Miss

Holt might just have an interesting way to help her. Let's join them and find out in today's

mini-adventure called Mathematical Melody.

Jack's dad is four times older than Jack.

In 14 years' time, Jack's dad will be twice the age of Jack.

How old is Jack?

I'm already confused.

Janet, how are you doing?

Terrible, Miss Holds.

I can't remember how to start.

That's okay.
