Kids

I spent the day today overseeing the scoring of 3rd graders New York State Math exams (yes, someone actually put me in charge of something). It was interesting to see the way 9 year old minds work. One of the questions asked the students to draw a ring around the 2 rectangles (there were a variety of shapes to choose from). A large number of students actually drew "rings", complete with diamonds on top, around the rectangles. Now don't worry the students still got full credit (I think they should get some extra credit). I am continually amazed at students. One of the best things about being a teacher is that every day is different and you never can predict what the kids are going to say or do.

Happy Pancake Day

I hope everyone is enjoying National Pancake Day! In honor of this special day IHOP is offering a free short stack of pancakes to all customers. What a deal. I love going to IHOP. The variety of syrups is wonderful, plus you get your own pot of coffee. Back to the topic at hand...pancakes..yum! Now I'm sure that you have tried some different types of pancakes.....blueberry, chocolate chip....but have you had Pigs in a blanket pancakes? IHOP has created a menu item where they wrap a buttermilk pancake around a pork sausage. Not only that, you get 4 of them! If only they could deep fry them and of course toss in some bacon. Perhaps there could be a cheesey dipping sauce. Now that would be a pancake celebration!

New Blogs

I apologize for not posting a new blog in a while. Life has been interesting to say the least recently. I added a blog that I started working on a few weeks ago. Unfortunatley it posts the blog according to the date I started it. So please take a moment and scroll down to February 20th. I think you'll enjoy the tale.
