Cartoon(s) of the Week Calvin and Hobbes was often an educational essay disguised as a cartoon, it seems to me. 🙂 Here, he touches on science, writing, academia, and school in general – in only two cartoons! See C&H.Snowflake and C&H.Writing. (For a related short blog on the Educational Wisdom of C & H – with 3 other cartoons – see C&H.Education.)
Krazy Pic I’m wondering if someone may need a dictionary for Christmas!? See Krazy Pic 15-17.
Brain Teasers Today’s Brain Teasers are dedicated to our 30 new teacher-subscribers from Ozark and Galena schools, where I led workshops this past week. WELCOME TO AME ! See BT 15-12. (Deadline for these and others this month will be 8/27: See below.)
More BT News & Reminders This month we will try allowing the Brain Teasers to run all month – and we may add more as we go! This is partly to try a fun, different format for all subscribers. But it is also TO REMIND ALL TEACHERS: We love getting solutions from students!! Send in your students’ solutions (and their names), and we’ll honor them when solutions are revealed. There should be at least 1 or 2 BTs suitable for almost any grade level, so start your year with a puzzle (and some fame? :-)) for your students! See BT 15-12
O-PUN Mouth . . . Is there a more torturous form of humor than the lowly pun? My uncle sent me a whole column of these a couple of years back, and I think I’ll start sharing some of them. Hope they give you a smile – which is to say a groan. 🙂 See MorePuns1

Updated August BDs Ack! I just noticed I left one of my brothers-in-law off the August Birthday list last week. Ouch! (I have two BILs, and they almost have back-to-back BDs!) Here’s the updated list: August BDs. Sorry, Don!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
