I’ve seen some wild outcomes at the target over the last 13+ years of coaching this sport. More Robin Hoods than I can count on two hands. But THIS?? This was a first. 👀

Arrows in a target. One arrow is barely touching the target at the point of the tip.
There is a direction down emoji pointing to the arrow tip and an emoji of an exploding head.

Is this “lame”? “tame”? “iame”? And I’m curious about intent/meaning in context 👀

Old math text screenshot - word underlined in yellow is the focus - might me “lame” or “iame” or “tame”. I can’t tell.

I need a deeper dive into the spelling. At first I thought it was a word press issue with a missing “s” but it occurs in other places. So now I need to learn when/why we replaced “f” with “s” in those words.

Historical math text discussing “carrying”. It appears as the letter “s” has been replaced with “f” in several words (ex: fuperior instead of superior, neceffary instead of necessary)

The title 👀😅 I need to google the alternate meaning of “vulgar” as it relates to mathematics. (Or if it is meant as I understand it 😆 then I need to know more)

Old math textbook title “vulgar and decimal.”

Long shot BUT does someone have the HS version of this that they’d be willing to swap for the K-5 version? I bought this and never needed it.

I like this a lot! And the creativity on this one is 🙌

If you need a new/free puzzle site, I just saw www.ponderclub.co by two indie developers on TikTok. “Thoughtful games for restless minds.” 🫶

Four rounded square tiles arranged in a two-by-two grid on a light background. Top left is a blue tile labeled “Common 3” with a Venn diagram icon and the subtitle “Arrange words by theme.” Top right is a peach tile labeled “Sudogoose” with a goose icon and the subtitle “A lighthearted spin on sudoku.” Bottom left is a green tile labeled “Slideways” with a horizontal arrow icon and the subtitle “Find all possible words.” Bottom right is a pink tile labeled “Wordie” with a grid icon and the subtitle “Guess the 5-letter word.”

Four large rounded tiles arranged in a two-by-two grid on a light grid-pattern background. Top left is a gray tile labeled “Mini 5x5” with a small crossword-style grid icon and the subtitle “Bite-sized crosswords.” Top right is a teal tile labeled “Color Flood” with a paint bucket icon pouring paint and the subtitle “Fill the grid with one color.” Bottom left is a yellow tile labeled “Double Up” with stacked blocks and upward arrows, with the subtitle “Combine same numbers.” Bottom right is a purple tile labeled “Digit Shift” with numbered tiles 1 through 4 and the subtitle “Arrange digits in order.”

Just noticed this page in the back of my Hobonichi weeks planner. Would be a cool idea for students to use in class (if I was still teaching middle school) at beginning, middle, and end of year (since most of them, unlike me, GROW in their teens😆) for data, percents, etc. (except for bare feet🤢).

Hobonichi Weeks page encouraging user to write down common measurements proportional to their size (including icons). Ex: thumb to pointer finger, thumb to pinkie, elbow to longest fingertip, heel to toe (with and without shoes), stride when walking normally , wingspan. Also includes sizes of common items like credit cards (3.4”x2.1”), A4-size paper (8.3”x11.7”), letter size paper, Hobonichi Techo Weeks cover (3.7” x 7.4”).
Has a ruler in cm down the right hand side of the page.

I miss Shelli really badly today so here are pictures of my foster kittens that I know she would love to see.

Big changes this week have worn this sweet baby OUT. Any suggestions on helping small older dogs with new anxiety issues would be greatly appreciated😅🙏

I need more books that read like case files. I’m not quite finished, I feel certain there’s a few more twists left, but so far I highly recommend. 😁

One of my archers that had never picked up a bow before tryouts shot this 49 at practice tonight and I am so happy for her. 🤩🏹🤩 I am several states away from my team right now but I am so stinkin’ proud! 🥹

Spent the weekend on phase 1 of relocating our equipment. We’ve been in that old closet for a decade - I am super excited about our new space. (But I AM gonna need a ladder😬😅)

Side by side of archery equipment (bows, quivers, arrows, etc) stored in two closet spaces. The left is a small room packed full with no room to move and the right is larger room with more space.
