Are you smarter than a Fifth Grader?

Ummm...I guess not. I'm not even smarter than a fourth grader!

As I sat in my classroom of 15 or so 4th graders mulling over and over a logic puzzle with no luck. One student suggested, "Don't you have the answer key? You're a teacher, you should have the answer key." Ummm...yeah! Hello....leave a sub out in the cold why don't you.

I hate these things. I've always hated these things. BUT in the final moments before bell ring, I had a breakthrough and me and a few other kids started getting it. So did we redeem ourselves? I hope so.

Next time you're over, I'll have you take a stab at it. So there!
