"BuffyBot" ,'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Okey. I'll have someone take some tonight, and e them to me! I'll be in a dark gay/str8/Goth/swingers club dancing to 80's music (Kansas City clubs are...odd) so I don't know how well the color will show. But I'll try.
I have to go to a wake in 2 hours. BUt it's in a bar, so it should be a fairly jolly wake. Lot's of stories, beer, NSM crying and wailing.
Sadly, I must go to work. But at least going to work means Matt gets to play with Nic without feeling guilt because he could be with me. actually right now, I'd like to take a nap
I am planning a lesson with quilt squares and construction paper to teach area of quadrilaterals. Do we think the (high school) kids will feel talked down to, or will they appreciate having manipulatives? I will be proving the Pythagorean Theorem, so they shouldn't feel too talked down to.
Of course they won't feel talked down to. They will love having quilting as manipulatives. I mean, who wouldn't?!
shoot, I was at a training session a few years ago that included Legos as part of a demonstration. We loved it.
I think it is a great idea, Emily. I always prefer something tangible while learning a new concept.
We forget how much high school kids are still KIDS. They love working in groups, and in math, they really appreciate anything that isn't chalkboard/paper work.
Go for it.

My friends who are high school teachers have found this to be the case too, and also that high school kids still really like to get stickers on their exams/papers, even if they don't always admit to it.
What Erin said.
I'm really not here. I'm just doing a drive-by to distribute -ma and say I'll be darker than usual ("all my shootings be drive-by" - MC Stephen Hawking). I am now not allowed on the computer at all while the DH is home, so my computer time is restricted to middle of the night when he's asleep, or the 2 hours on M, W, F when Mal is asleep.
Nighttime now, and I'm trying to make arrangements to get to the West Coast in May. They ain't gonna make themselves.
ION, I had dinner last night with a rather infamous former FSO, the guy who resigned in protest over the US invasion of Iraq. I think the dinner party represented 3 of the 4 Democrats in the Foreign Service.

Thing is, adults are usually over the "don't treat me like a little kid!" stage. Not sure about teenagers. But, yeah, you're right. I'm going for it. Because, it's geometry! It's easier if they can really see what's going on. Think I may show them the straws-and-paper-clips parallelogram thing, too.
