Even What Can't Be Defined

Well, the end of the quarter is upon us. Trust me, it's just about all I've done today. (Still not finished, so careful checking those grades right now. Don't get too excited nor too depressed just yet.)

Tomorrow is the start of a new day, though. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to make just a few little changes to our daily routine with the intentions of getting them to be a little more responsible for their own work on a daily basis.

I will hand out the kids' American Southwest maps for a big states and capitals quiz on Thursday. "Big", however, may not be the best way to describe it. While the Midwestern States contained twelve states and capitals to memorize, the Southwest has only four: Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico. While this test will be pretty small, it probably wouldn't hurt to go over these quickly in the car or at the dinner table a few times throughout the week.

We will also be reviving our Caesar's English lessons this week (any partial week, you may remember). Kids will be coming home with a list tomorrow.


Lastly, these ladies would like to remind you that October 25, a Saturday, is the Ghosts & Goblins 5K/2K at Carmel High School. Be there! I've heard this is a great event, and I'm looking forward to it this year.
