I show it in my physical science for elem ed teachers every year. Maybe your kids could make one and post it so I can have one with English commentary. I imagine it would be a web sensation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-6473465263383161762009-08-12T01:23:52.640-04:002009-08-12T01:23:52.640-04:00I love that you weren't furious that a kid stu...I love that you weren't furious that a kid stuck his foot in one of your cooking pots.<br /><br />This time of year makes me sad, too, anticipating the change that always comes with September.
