Dorothy outgrew her skates, so she borrowed Sarah's. Then Sarah's skates broke, so she's pictured wearing Brian's skates (toes stuffed!)

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy's homework asked:

You have 2/3 cup of flour in a bin and 7/8 cup of flour in a bag. To determine whether you have enough flour for a recipe that needs 1 & 3/4 cups of flour, should you use an estimate, or is an exact answer required? Explain.

Dorothy said aloud:

"That depends on whether you're okay making a smaller batch of cookies."

We watched the Student Spotlight video about Dorothy. In the video, she was pointing to something in the science experiment the class was doing. "Are these kids at your table the ones you're always willing to help when they don't get it?" Brian teased, referencing the video. "No," Dorothy said, "everyone at Table One gets it."

Brian turned on the Chicago Bears - LA Rams game. He told Dorothy, "Everyone in Chicago is excited because it's really cold there, and they're playing the Rams, who are usually in LA, where it's always warm." "Oh, do they like visiting there?" Dorothy asked.
