Okay, My life is a little repetitive and boring to some. But, I have a funny story about one of the boys that I'm working with...
He's in fifth grade. We are focusing on "how many more" math problems.
Teacher--- A runner is running 26 miles. She already ran 13 miles. How many more miles does she have to run.
Student---- huh
Teacher--- How many more miles does she have to run if she already ran 13 miles...
Student--- I don't know.
Teacher---- Okay If you have already gone 13 miles, what do you have to do to get to 26.
Student---- walk
It was very funny and very cute.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Kids are so funny! Those kids are super lucky to have you in their classroom. I'm sure you do a great job!
BTW - I think we'll be in Columbus this weekend working on the house. Drop by if you get a few minutes! I'll try to call too.
that seems like kind of a trick question....no wonder the kid was confused
Yeah, I never liked word problems! Funny story!! :)
Out of the mouth of babes. Love it. And the best part is how they answer you like, "duh, shouldn't you know this already?!"
HUH.....I don't get it either!! Just playin'....what a funny story.
Now you and your mother can share stories about your students!!
