re: Best kind of dog food

Posted by teachingtiger on 4/11/15 at 11:04 pm to
Ours eat Halo. We tried Blue Buffalo, but two of them kept picking the Life Source bits out and leaving them on the floor/patio.

We chose Halo (and tried Blue Buffalo) because we realized that their previous food was mostly filler. They were always hungry and we were constantly buying food. Now, the largest bag of Halo lasts for about a month and we are feeding three medium-sized dogs and one large dog.

re: More Common Core

Posted by teachingtiger on 12/31/14 at 8:58 pm to
You were talking about social promotion with regard to common core, I was told that the new common core test won't be completely scored until late August. So no one in Louisiana will be held back due to the 'high stake test' 

Can any educator confirm?

Sorry. On my phone and can't get quote feature to work. You are correct. No test scores until fall. So if a student passes academically, he/she will be promoted.

And because we have no idea what skills this set of students is familiar with. There are a lot of correct answers in this thread, but not all apply to a typical 4th grader's ability level.

If this is an advanced group, I could see the 9/2=4.5 rounded to 5 being valid.

Can't wait to see the actual answer.

Why would you not end up at 5? Each number in the sequence is half of the other number. Since we're dealing in whole numbers, 5 is the logical answer



I just seriously doubt that a 4th grade teacher in September of a school year is giving place value puzzles that include the division of numbers that require subsequent rounding. :dunno:

:dope: :bwahaha:
Hey, it's midnight. I just woke up from a nap. :lol:

I didn't read all the other responses. What's the deal with the ten-thousands place?

ETA: What does the OT think the ten-thousands place is? I quit reading responses when people started dividing by two and rounding up to 5.
I am going to go with 66,782.

Ten-thousands - in my post nap stupor, I thought maybe the pattern is the result of subtracting instead of division, but the 9-9=0 doesn't fit unless 27 was left out of the original pattern?

I think 36/2=18, 36/4=9, 36/6=6 is more likely.

Thousands - largest factor of 8 is 8. 8-2=6

Hundreds - 7x7=49

Tens- 4th multiple of 2 is 8

Ones- Only prime number less than 3 is 2; 1 is neither prime nor composite
I would try to stick it out to mid-year, if at all possible.
I'd definitely skip the gardens at the Louvre. :lol:

I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this. A friend's granddaughter has craniosynostosis and had her surgery a couple of months ago. She is wearing her second helmet right now and the progress has been amazing!

no way ! I would love to meet that guy and get an autograph. I think I still have a slim goodbody "vinyl album" from the very early 80's at my mom's house.


I don't remember Slim Goodbody from when I was younger, but I can assure you that the guy that was in the performance that we saw was not the original. This guy must have been about 25 and wore a white spandex, long-sleeved unitard and bright white tennis shoes. It was special. :thup:

Yes, yes he is. I took my students on a field trip to see a Slim Goodbody show last year. They were less than impressed. :lol:

I thought the EXACT same thing. :wha:

The Shed BBQ

Posted by teachingtiger on 12/13/09 at 6:08 pm
I searched to see if anyone had posted this, but couldn't find it. I thought that some of you would be interested to know that The Shed BBQ & Blues is opening in Scott, LA. I am not sure if it has opened yet, but they have been working on it.

I have never eaten there, but I love trying new places!
