Stretching Reality to Yield a Parabola

We got to watch the last of the Social Studies skits, the kids got to learn who their partners are for the big state projects, and we read the tale of Jedediah Smith. We also learned about possessive nouns.

In Math, we talked started our new chapter and our new Math Journal. The theme of this chapter is exponents. I taught them about cell mitosis and the six degrees of separation.

They do have reading for 20 minutes, the spelling test tomorrow, and a study link for Math tonight. I told them that I know they have the Clay Night tonight from 4-6, but that this is no different from having a practice for a sport or dance or whatever the kids do after school, and it's not much to do.

By the way, I received a notification regarding Carmel Clay Schools Safety Night. For our district, this will take place at Clay Middle School from 7-9pm on February 19. You are invited to attend to hear an overview of the CCS safety programs that keep our students and staff safe. They will talk about partnerships with the Carmel Fire Department and Police Department; our drills for severe weather, fire, earthquake, K-9, and lockdown; Carmel Clay counseling services; the School Gate Guardian system; anonymous alert, background checks, and emergency communication.

Please know that they ask that you do not bring your child with you to this meeting. Send any questions to Student Services Department at 317 844 9961.
