Article: If you notice any unwanted growth around the base of your tree, cut off the stems or leaves. Cleaning up around the base of your tree helps preserve the tree-like shape. To make a circle, trim the top of the tree so the sides are smooth and round. Then, make small cuts around the top in a circular shape to give your tree its form. Create a smooth, even shape so your tree has a full, blossoming top. To make an oval, keep the top slightly more pointed to create an elongated shape. Trim the sides so they are smooth and round, and then leave a bit more on the top and bottom to create an oval-like appearance. Your shape does not have to be completely perfect. As your roses grow, they will fill in the shape to create a natural appearance. To create your shape, take off about one-third of the total length of your canes. Leave 1-3 bud eyes on the cane when you make your cuts. This way, your tree rose has an attractive, compact shape so it can grow gorgeous flowers. A bud eye is a small bump where a leaf meets the stem, and this is where new flowers start from.

Remove any stems or leaves from the bottom of your tree. Cut your stems into a circular shape for a neatly manicured look. Go with an oval shape for a natural, tree-like look. Shorten all your canes to 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) to create your shape.
Article: "  Learning to count by twos, fives, and tens to 100 will improve your child's understanding of number relationships and begin to provide easy reference points. "  "Doubles" are math facts such as "3 + 3 = 6" or "8 + 8 = 16."  Again, these facts provide easy reference points as students learn to add.  A child who knows instinctively that "8 + 8 = 16," for example, can more easily figure out the sum of "8 + 9" by simply adding one to the total. Try grouping cards by fact families to emphasize the relationships among these numbers.  While students should recognize how numbers interact with each other, rote memorization of basic math facts will provide a complementary foundation for moving on to more complicated arithmetic.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Instruct children in "skip counting. Encourage children to memorize "doubles. Use flash cards to stimulate memorization.
Article: It might be a date if they show up in a dress, heels, or slacks, or it just appears in general that they put in an extra effort to see you. If your “date” is wearing an unwashed sweatshirt and it looks (or smells) like they didn’t even bother to shower, then it is probably not a date. If they ask you questions about yourself, pay attention to you, look at you often, listen to you, and generally seem like they care about you, then it is likely to be a date. It might not be a date if they are barely paying attention to you and are not trying to make conversation. If it was a date, you would be their current love life, not whatever they are talking about. It is not a date if they are going on about another person they are interested in, asking for relationship advice, or hitting on other people during the date. You can tell a lot about a situation based on someone’s body language. If they lean toward you, put their arm around you, try to hold your hand, or turn their body toward you, they might be interested in you. Whereas, if they are leaned over in the opposite direction, barely even noticing you’re on the other side of the couch, then it is not a date.  If they seem a little too comfortable and relaxed, you might be hanging out as just friends.  If they are nervous or fidgety it might be because it is a date. If they offer to pay for you, it is likely a date. If you offer to pay and they decline, pay attention to how they decline. If they seem weirded out you offered to pay at all, then it might not be a date. If they seem flattered but insist on paying for themselves, it might be a date. If they kiss you goodbye, then you can probably assume it was a date. Giving you a hive-five or handshake or simply just saying goodbye are not signals you just went on a date. It might not have been a date if they seem really offhand and casual about the goodbye (“See you later. Bye”). If they say a thoughtful goodbye, it is more likely it was a date. (“I had a great time tonight. I hope I see you again soon.”)

Evaluate their outfit. Watch how they interact with you. See if they talk about their love life. Read their body language. Watch if they try to pay or want to split the check. Notice how they say goodbye.
