...blowing up words:

Okay, so I'm not only frittering time away playing geeky typing games.

Slowly, but surely, we're figuring out the homework thing. White binder comes home on Friday and is returned on Monday with the previous week's Math and French. Red folder comes home Monday to be returned the following Monday with English. Yellow folder comes home Friday and should be returned on Wednesday with printing. Powerpoints and online activities are available on the website; weekly homework assignments are posted on the various wikis. Print out one (1) copy of each word study per week and return in aforementioned red folder. Library books come home on Friday: three (3) each French and two (2) each English, to be read in addition to the powerpoints listed above to a minimum total of 15 minutes per night at least 5 (five) nights per week.

Fall seems to have arrived today, so I can finally indulge my baking/soups/carb-loading instincts. Everybody's got their chrystanthemums out (is this just a MN thing, or is it Statesy-wide? This time of year, everyone buys these heeee-yoooge pots of mums and has them decorating their doorsteps).

(Aside: I do not. PM + potted flora = a dead plant and a waste of $$.)

I don't remember ever seeing huge mum-pots come fall, so must be a regional thing.
I love that the school uses wikis! :)

question - what is "fullhealth" on the game? and what is the HP on the bottom right corner? I can't find a full list of instructions anywhere so I'm just typing! hehe

Ha ha, Margaret - you *are* hooked!

HP = health points. It's how much life you have. If you type "fullhealth" when you have one on the screen, your points will return to 100.

Best strategy: keep a "detonate" and "fullhealth" on the screen. If things get too hairy, just type "detonate" and then it will blow up all words on the screen plus the "fullhealth," which will return you to 100 HP and you can live to fight another day.
