put the "B" at the end and:
ananab spells banana backwards

Feel free to e-mail me privately in the Parents section. You will not see my e-mail address, but I can be reached through the school's K-12 access. I tried it and it works.

5th grade tests were magnificent. Tell your children how proud you are--I know that I am.

Tutoring notes will be going home soon. I will be tutoring only those in need on Mondays afterschool.

Have a great day,
Mrs. Owoc

]]> Math Websites Mon, 02 Oct 2006 18:55:40 CST http://stgeorge.k12web.com/jowoc/blog.apm?dM=10&dY=2006&b=172 Hi Dragons,

I just wanted to pass along two useful websites related to math. The first is eduplace.com which provides chapter reviews and practice for every chapter. This is especailly useful when preparing for a test.

The second website is a fun one. (Not to say that reviewing for a test isn't fun.) Anyway, it's called puzzlemaker.com The kids can create their own puzzles using math concepts.

Try them and see if they are fun and helpful.

Let me tell you---I was impressed. Several kids went pretty far around the world. All were excited and ready to join in. Thanks parents for working on the timestables with all of your kids.

Have a great weekend,

I can't wait to participate in the Walk-a-thon tomorrow. It will be a first for me. I hope that I can do the teachers proud when I TRY to play volleyball.
