The Stems and The Leaves

Hello, everyone! First things first: Meet the Teacher Night is tomorrow at 7:15 for fifth grade. It's okay to be there and be square.

Secondly, the kids have three things to do tomorrow for homework.

1. Read for a bare minimum of twenty minutes. 
2. Write definitions for their spelling list for this week.
3. My Math class has Study Link 1.3 due tomorrow. (Other classes may vary.)

Ask your child to use the word valor in a sentence. It was the Word of the Day today. We also wrote in our journals, read in our reading books, listened to a song (admittedly a fairly corny one) from our reading book, learned about landforms and longitude and latitude, and my Math class learned about stem-and-leaf plots.

Our days are full, but they are also good so far. I really truly enjoy working with these kids. I hope they are coming home excited about what we are learning each day.

Hope all is well out there in Carmel Land.
