• Piece of pumpkin pie the size of my face.
• Packer/Bear game.  

What we are doing today in class in bullets

In the comments state some of your Thanksgiving bullets, or give one of the exponent rules.  

Imaginary Friends

Toby and Cece, the names of my two childhood imaginary friends.


Please tell me I am not alone in this.......who else had an imaginary friend?  Fun fact, having them are supposed to be a sign of creativity.





Without further ado: solve this problem and put your answer in the comments.

Halloween

The best part about Halloween is the candy, right?  Snickers and Resse's Peanut Butter Cups are my favorites, and are considered an acceptable breakfast for the week following Halloween.

If snickers costs .25 per pound, and RPC cost .40 per pound.  How many pounds of each must I buy to make a 10 pound .30 per pound Halloween mixture?

Do you want the good news or bad news first?

Most of the time when someone asks me if I want the good news or the bad news first, I almost always say the bad news so then if it makes me feel bad I still have the good news to feel better about.

Here is your bad news.   Learn this.

Here is your good news.  Other than what we do in class today, there will be no additional homework for the weekend.  Waaaaaaahooooooo!  

Anything you are looking forward to this weekend?  Share in the comments.  

6 years ago??

Do you remember something you did 6 years ago?
Hmmmmmmm, yes I do remember, the husband and I vacationed to Portland Oregon.

Before doing this word problem, share with your group any memories you have from 6 years ago.

Now onto the problem.

The sum of Eli and Cece's ages is 60.
Six years ago, Eli was 3 times as old as Cece.
Find Eli's age now.

SET UP the system of equations, then solve.  (emphasis on the set up, that is what I am most interested in.)


If you are waiting on other groups, share some of your 6 years ago memories in the comments.  

Happy Homecoming Weekend!

Look at all your school spirit.  Love it!

Enjoy!
Have Fun!
Be Safe!
Keep it in the back (very back) of your mind that the summative is Tuesday next week.

Share one thing from your weekend.

Absolute Value.

No I am not talking about the V shaped graph. 

 

I am talking about things we absolutely value in life.  

If you do not know what that is, I was told to take a look at a current goal, or a past New Year's resolution.......it is your value that causes you to make that goal.  

Look through this list...........what is your highest value at the moment?   (we all know it can change, month to month, even day to day)  But today is it.........

• Love                      (passion, playfulness, connection, self-love, compassion, unity)
• Success                (achievement, pride, self-worth, contribution)
• Freedom               (self-expression, independence, openness, autonomy)
• Connection          (intimacy, belonging, honesty)
• Security                (trust, loyalty, confidence)
• Variety                  (flexibility, adventure, courage, excitement, adaptability)
• Empowerment     (confidence, self-esteem, fulfillment, self-worth)
• Passion                (excitement, fulfillment, aliveness)
• Trust                     (faith, comfort, ease, certainty
• Compassion        (kindness, empathy, generosity)
• Well-Being           (health, vitality, energy)
• Peace                   (presence, contentment, balance, equanimity)
• Significance        (contribution, charity, influence, gratitude, recognition)
• Balance               (flexibility, wholeness, harmony)
• Growth                (wisdom, progress, expansion)
• Joy                      (delight, humor, wonder, happiness)
