Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After nineteen years of child-rearing, they are unemployed.

Need a Science Project?
You've been assigned a Science Fair project!
What topic are you going to choose?
How do you get started?
What data will you collect?
How do you draw conclusions?
What will you graph?
HELP!
Another mom shared this tonight and I thought I would tuck this away for safe keepings. Maybe it will even help out someone else. :)

Math help
Go ahead and post what your son needs help on, I'd love to help.
Here are some math sites that may be helpful for you in the future:
- http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ put in a topic and search
- http://www.webmath.com/ This one will work the problem out for you and then explain the answer. This site is good for parents to use who are trying to help the kids understand.
- http://www.myalgebra.com/algebra_solver.aspx This one solves the problem, but does not explain it, you have to buy the software for that.
- http://www.sosmath.com/algebra/solve/solve0/solve0.html Another solve and explain site.
I hope these can help someone

Website of the Day for March 31--CaloriesPerHour.Com
CaloriesPerHour.Com
If you manage your weight by counting calories and exercising, our website of the day will come in handy.
CaloriesPerHour.Com is a fun, simple website that will tell you precisely how many calories are burned by all the activities in our lives.
You type in your age, gender, weight and height and choose an activity from a list of several hundred.
For instance, a 39-year-old man of average height will burn 318 calories doing 45 minutes of traditional American Indian dancing.
Thats enough exercise to burn off four apples.
If that same man runs for an hour, he'd burn 887 calories--the equivalent of a McDonald's fish sandwich and a small shake.

Great Math Game (Timez Attack)
I recently visited JenIG blog. She was talking about this great new computer video game called TIMEZ ATTACK. By Big Brainz. I downloaded the free verision today. My son L-O-V-E-S it. He has been playing it for a while now. He gets so excited at each level passed.
The way JenIG (see full blog on this here) wrote up the game say's it best.
"characters have to walk around and figure things out and then battle against bad guys. In other words, it is fun and has challenging elements that make kids want to play. But here’s the kicker, when you get certain keys, you have to defeat *bad guys* by entering in proper multiplication answers"
"I’ve never seen an ‘educational video game’ that plays like this.
We will be buying the verision very soon. Thanks Jen for the link. It is awesome!!
As a side note, there is nothing graphic what-so-ever in this. When you kill the bad guys they simply flop over or they *poof* disappear. It is neither violent nor gruesome. It’s just fun."

Website of the Day for February 8--PseudoDictionary.Com
PseudoDictionary.Com
Our website of the day makes everyone's "pseudo English" legit.
PseudoDictionary.Com has thousands of words that aren't in the dictionary, but probably should be.
You can submit your own words, and look up slang words so you can finally understand what your kids are saying.
