Before we were married, my husband and I were excitedly planning our honeymoon. My dad had lots of air miles and was planning on letting us use them to fly to Europe. One night while visiting with a cousin on the phone, I was explaining that we had decided to go to Switzerland and France for our...
I teach middle school right outside of Fort Worth (a nearby suburb) and I'm praying soooooooooo hard that the situation doesn't get worse and that our district doesn't shut down. I want everyone to stay well so that we can have our SUMMER! It would be dreadful to have to attend school into...
I am by no means a math genius but loved fractions as a kid and I enjoyed teaching them when I used to teach 5th graders. I totally agree with the PP and want to point out that knowing multiplication facts really is a huge part of being able to do fractions. If your niece knows her facts...
Here are a few books that my 5th graders LOVED...
1. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi (very strong female heroine, lots of adventure and drama on the high-seas...impossible to put down! I have wished many times that this book would be made into a movie.)

I completely agree. Read While Europe Slept...it is an eye opener and completely addresses the fact that the radical Muslims are absolutely using western laws against us. It has already happened in Europe to great extent and unless Americans wake up and quit trying to be best friends with...
:mad: I would bet that if the shoe were on the other foot and our men/soldiers were being held prisoner by these potential terrorists, they wouldn't hesitate to brutally execute US citizens. And I for one don't want MY tax money being used to pay for the expensive trials that each of these cases...
I spent 7 days last month (May) in WDW and I was absolutely astonished that my crocs ended up being the shoes that I wore during the majority of our vacation. I have flat feet that give me quite a few problems, so I brought my New Balance tennies and planned on wearing them to the parks. I...
My DS9 got a Wii for his birthday last weekend, and our two favorite family games are "Boom Blox" and "Zack and Wiki."

Zack and Wicki is an adventure...
