Vocabulary


If you knew my daughter A, you would find that her Language Arts teacher is, in deed, teaching her.
She is using her new vocabulary words; at home and ... and maybe even with her friends.
Heck, I would use all the vocabulary words the teacher taught me too, if A's teacher were my teacher.
The teacher for 6th grade Language Arts is not like the vintage book illustration above. The teacher is a very handsome young man!!!!
The reason A and all her classmates like him is because he is a teacher that is not so serious. He makes learning FUN. He does activities that are learning in disguise. You are having such a good laugh with your friends that you do not realize there has been a big, embossed on the brain, learning session. One of those lessons that you WILL use for the future. I like those. Days, weeks or even years later you recall just HOW you know something. That is truly teaching, to me.

"Fantasy Family"

These pictures are from this site.


1. I don't know these people, I'll bet they were kind and wonderful.
2. I make it all up, no ill will is intended.

Eula and Lilian are successful business women.
They do door-to-door sales of a large hardback book titled
The Marriage Bedroom And You.
This shy newlywed couple bought the book from Eula and Lilian several days ago.

The Father and Mother of this family were one of Eula and Lilian's first book customers many years ago. Lilian thinks this may be an extreme case and might not represent typical results!!
If you see Eunice and Lilian walking through your neighborhood, say "Hello" and ask for
a 1 night trial of their book. They're always looking for more book sales!!
