| Writers began a new unit today on the personal essay. They will write tonight for homework for 15 minutes. Their writing will not look like essays until they have gathered a bunch more stories from their lives. |
 |
| Students learned the names of the parts of plants today: apical meristem, node, internode, tap root, etc. |

A word from Sima on math club:
Students in Math Club continued pursuing logic problems of increasing complexity today. Some students figured out a strategy to win a new game, Race to 20, and others enjoyed some puzzles and problemsfeaturing some of our math club students' names. Finally, a few students looked at some interesting geometry problems predicting the results of folding and cutting paper. Next week: algebra and pattern finding!
