Eminence Front

Was it just me, or did anyone else kind of feel the planet tilt a little further back from the sun this weekend, settling totally into the fall? This very phenomenon is one of the things we'll be discussing in Science coming right up. Astronomy will be the topic, and we will be talking about the sun and the moon and the stars. Of course, this amateur historian can't help but inundate the kids with information regarding the earliest astronomers, modern-day astronauts, and even the Old Farmer's Almanac. I wouldn't be Mr. Carter if I didn't have to teach the kids all about the context of their information in its historical sense.

In addition to this, we will be listening to the kids give speeches over the next few days as well as a lesson or three on poetry, trying to spice up their writing some, making invitations for the Veteran's Day program, and plummeting into the world of division (and all of its various and scary faces) in Math class.

Here's looking forward to a great fall break, everyone. Enjoy! You deserve it.
