Math:
We begin our study of mathematics with
a Polygon WebQuest this week. The
project requires digital photos. I
have two digital cameras in the
classroom, but if your child is familiar
with yours, and you wouldn't mind them
bringing it to class, that might help
our data collection. Go to
Math Links for more information.
A copy of the Study Link (hereafter
referred to as "SL") 1.1 Family Letter
should be in the Home Connection
Envelope this Monday for you to read.
Please look over the website so you can
find all the helpful links I have
included for you and your child.
Do-Anytime Activities
Unit 1
Help your child identify real-world examples of right
angles (the corner of a book) and
parallel line (railroad tracks).

Love and Logicisms , Wise Words About
Kids
by Jim and Charles Fay
Wise parents know the difference
between a manipulating child and one
who is hurting and desperately needs
them to listen and understand.
Kids who don't feel listened-to and
understood by their parents tend
to search for these feelings in
other places--in gangs--in cults--in
drugs--in sex--etc.

Dear Shae,
This week's Insider's Club article is an
amusing story from Jim Fay about setting
limits with your kids.
Have a great week!
Mom's Book Serves a New Purpose
Mom left our conference with a new way
of handling her kids, who routinely
trashed the house, expecting her to
clean up and prepare dinner while they
were glued to the television.
She walked into the house with a book in
hand, saying, "Wow, guys! What a mess.
I'll start dinner as soon as it's
cleaned up. I've got a great book I want
to read. I'll be in my room reading. Let
me know when the house is clean."
"No way, Mom! We have to eat right away.
You have to drive us to our game this
evening," they argued.
"Oh, guys. You worry too much," she
answered as she headed to her room.
Her kids came into the room several
times pleading with her to come out to
fix dinner—without success.
Finally they sent the oldest in to say,
"Mom. Are you on something? What have
you been smoking?"
"Yeah, pal. I'm not on drugs if that’s
what you mean. But as you see, I've gone
on strike. I'll no longer be your
servant. If I don't take good care of
myself, I don't know who will. Let me
know when the house is clean."
She tells us that she keeps a book in
her car. Each night as she arrives home
from work she has it in her hand. When
the kids see the book they yell, "Wait,
Mom. The house is clean. Can you start
dinner now?"
Mom is learning how to set limits, and
her kids are learning how to be more
responsible.
Thanks for reading!
Jim Fay
You can learn more about setting limits
with our audio CD, "Love Me Enough To
Set Some Limits."
