Smarter than a 5th Grader?

This is my second full day with 31 5th Graders. They have started a new math series and I can tell you all that I AM NOT SMARTER THAN A 5th Grader!! Mike taught Math for years and this new series uses terms that he has never heard. Would you believe ~ I had to "google" for some definitions of math terms - oh give me strength!

31 is a big class. AR has a limit and they would have to hire a new teacher if you were here. But base pay here for a new teacher is only about $31,000 a year and I bet MO is better at paying their teachers.

I have taught so long that they could hire 2 if I would quit, but don't think I will give them the pleasure.

Winnie I got the pictures and card yesterday. It was the bright spot in my day...Thank you.
Today I go for a breast MRI...They did a biopsy of the lymph nodes on my neck and under my right arm. It shows stage 4 cancer but it is not lymphoma it started somewhere else. I have had many tests and scans including a full body pet ct and they say they are 99.9% sure it started in my breast. I would really like that 100% before we treat and whack...
But the pictures did lift my spirits you know 8/21 was the day Daddy died it was nice to see the picture of him...Thanks again.

Hi Winnie. I spoke to the plastic surgeon today he said he felt a lot more comfortable putting in these breasts a few weeks after they are removed.....he said they tend to be uneven sometimes and sometimes not exactly the same size like if they take more off one side than the other????I will not be cut on twice..... What do you think??? Find a new surgeon???
