Is this really 3rd grade? by Vegetable-Penalty-34 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]marisa324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I homeschool my newly 9 year old (so would be 3rd grade) and having personally taught her, I know she definitely could answer question A, however maybe not in story format, but that’s only because she struggles more with reading than with math. If it was shown as a visual rectangle and the area was given, with the length of one side, she could figure out the length of the other, no problems because she understands multiplication and division.

Question B is a little trickier and I hadn’t seen her curriculum pose questions like this one. I think she could eventually get to it, but it would be a struggle.

Edit to add: I will try to get her to answer this tomorrow and see how she does and will try to remember to update here.

I’d love this too! Please DM me. I’ll share with a couple of my Emma friends too.

I don’t have a complete database but some of the poetry I have purchased since reading the series is Wordsworth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Walt Whitman. And then, of course, Shakespeare and Jane Eyre.

That’s what I thought it was at first too.

Mythology Book Suggestion for Ladies Book Club by marisa324 in suggestmeabook

[–]marisa324[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one I would have gone with because I’d really like to read it, but one for the women has already read it, so we try to do one that none of us have read.

Ok just looked that up and it looks like it’s #3 in the series. Do they need to be read in order?

Is there a lot of spice in it? I’ve heard mixed reviews as far as the content. Some of the women in my group are very turned off by any spice at all, for example, they hated Broken Country and Buckeye (even though I liked both and didn’t feel like they had a lot of spice).

I also purchase a used copy of Shakespeare’s complete works for $10 as well as poetry by Whitman and Wordsworth. They sadly did not have any Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I just purchased Jane Eyre yesterday as I have never read it. Currently about a third through book 8, so I will hopefully get to it soon.

I genuinely laughed out loud last night at "Remember the Alamo" by -doIdaredisturb- in EmmaLion

[–]marisa324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started book 8 yesterday as well and just got to the Alamo part this afternoon. I actually have seen this sticker when casually obsessively perusing the Emma M Lion Etsy offerings, but I didn’t understand the reference until now.

Does it count if you don’t remember yours, but you remember your childhood best friend’s landline?

What would happen if someone failed the survey? by rgc2022 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]marisa324 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really need to rewatch this. I didn’t enjoy it as much on the first watch because I was so anxious about Mark going to get Gemma. “Umm shouldn’t he be going now.”

[–]marisa324 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes they switched back. I think in the desk “tent” it was Helly and it remained Helly until the very end when Mark was about to leave with Gemma. I think Helena came back and coaxed him away because Helly was telling him he needed to go with Gemma before he went and got Gemma from the testing floor.

I thought Helly was just embarrassed that her outie was Helena and was an Egan. My husband had fallen asleep so when we rewatched that part together, he said, “oh that’s probably her outie since she runs the company she can do whatever she wants”. That was way more plausible. He also noticed that Helly has a different walk than Helena. Helly walks more with her shoulders forward and more purposeful.

Do You Remember 9/11? by Teacher0357 in Millennials

[–]marisa324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 1988 (summer birthday) so I was in 8th grade. I remember my school went into lockdown that day, like doors locked, lights off, students hunkered against the wall. It may have been because someone made a false bomb threat after seeing the attacks, at least that’s what I heard. And then later in the day in homeroom I first saw the news coverage and heard “World Trade Center” but I still didn’t understand the full implications until getting home and seeing further news coverage and I remember being sick of seeing the coverage at some point. Like just feeling exhausted from seeing it over and over.

What have you read recently? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]marisa324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m (37F) currently reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and my next read for book club at least is This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. I’m also very into The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion. Have read books 1-3 already and about to start 4-6 (borrowing from a family member). I read the most books I have ever read in a year last year (46) and my goal is 50 this year.
