As it happens, no two children are in the same grade; they range from first to fifth grade. The mothers of the boys are Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Burch, Mrs. Prescott, Mrs. Foster, and Mrs. Waters. From the clues given, try to determine each child's full name and grade as well as the day of the week on which he receives tutoring.
1. Thursday's child is the oldest and Mrs. Burch's child is not the youngest.
2. She tutors Mrs. Foster's son earlier in the week than Justin but later than she tutors the second grader.
3. She doesn't tutor Brandon or Colin on Monday or Friday, but one of them is the first grader and the other is the third grader.
4. She tutors Colin the day before Brandon but the day after the Bailey student.
5. In no particular order, the three youngest students are the Monday student, the Tuesday student, and Mr. Burch's child.
6. Mrs. Prescott's son Aaron is not the oldest nor is he the one tutored on Monday.
