I can't believe it but next week will be the last week of the first quarter! We will be having math facts tests that will count as chapter test grades. PLEASE encourage them to study over the weekend.
Today I gave them a social studies project. They will be making a national park brochure, which will be due next Friday. Their assignment tonight is to come to class with the names of three national parks.
We continued today to talk about getting back up when we have failed. Here is an encouraging quote from Vince Lombardi, “It's not how many times you fall that matters, it's how many time you get back up.”

Like Vince Lombardi, Edison quotes similar convictions.
Nice alliteration in the blog's entry title, Teach.
