Thank you so much for taking the time to give me your opinions!  I appreciate your kind comments so much.  I did actually look at all the templates again (it's been a long time since I've viewed them) and when I got to the rooster near the bottom, I started to laugh.  And laugh - for a long time!  I don't know why!  So I was tempted to use the rooster, just for a joke and just once, but couldn't bring myself to do it.  I have considered every response and I think, for now, I will stick with the status quo.  Thanks for your input!

Now, here's something actually related to homeschooling!  My kids recently went through a "calculator" phase where they were playing with all the calculators in our home.  I won't allow them to use a calculator during school but they are allowed to check their work with one or use it any other time.  My 7 y.o. daughter likes math and is fascinated by using a calculator.  So, during this phase, I was in line at the grocery store and there was an inexpensive calculator hanging there with the candy bars and nail clippers.  I bought it for Carmen and she was thrilled.  She did, however, complain a bit about the small buttons (my own calculator is larger and that's what she was used to) but I reminded her that she didn't have to use it.  She decided it was fine and has been using it ever since.  She plays a game called "Bug-opoly" based on the classic game and she calculates how much change she should get on the calculator.  We had Chinese take-out last week and everyone got a fortune cookie.  After dinner, I took all five fortunes and showed Carmen the lottery numbers on the back.  She added up everyone's numbers and put them in numerical order.  This is a child who actually likes math and seems to enjoy numbers a great deal.  So I was really pleased to see how the calculator has become a fun way for Carmen to learn even more.  As long as it doesn't make her lazy about doing calculations by hand and in her head, I don't mind how much she uses it.  And any learning tool under $3.00 is a bargain!
