Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, \soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.\
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. \
\afraid there's something else I have to tell you,\his father said. Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.

\my life I'll think of you, I promise I will.\Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked away.

Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning factor for children's math achievement, according to a new research from the University of Chicago. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.
Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year.
