Sit! Stay! Good girl!

There are good days and bad days with my teensy weensy disability. Today was a bad day. Fortunately my "jailer," Blair, has kept me in the recliner packed in ice all day, so tomorrow won't be so bad a day. We managed to stay busy, though. Christy told a friend she was homeschooled and back came the response, "Oh yeah? Well, what's the square root of 99,873? Huh? Betcha don't know!" So the afternoon was spent finding out! We talked about all kinds of fascinating things. Square roots and squares, square footage, area, triangular numbers, the fibonacci sequence, cubes and volume, paint and carpet, it was a geometry class that just kept going until we found all the answers we were looking for. Sometimes we don't even know the questions to ask until we start finding answers, then we need to find more answers! And tomorrow when this little friend runs into Christy, she'll hear the answer to her math question: 316.02689759 But will she know if it's right or wrong? |
