My 5th grader has just learned the phrase "Parachute Expert: My Dear Aunt Sally" in her math class. This sentence is used to teach the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. For some reason, she finds the sentence to be so entertaining and keeps talking about her "Dear Aunt Sally", but changing the first part to different phrases such as: poaching eggs, praising excitedly, paper eater... too funny! Dear Aunt Sally is welcome to stay right now as she is making math class fun! When learning is fun...the day is good!
Peace,

...and that's what Homeschool is all about! Way to go!
That's so hilarious! I've never heard that before . . . I may have to just introduce it around here.
Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally - I never understood what we were suppose to excuse my Aunt Sally from doing. I imagined that she burped and that only distracted me from doing my math. Maybe that is the root of all my math inabilities - Aunt Sally.
Be blessed.

Funny! my dear Aunt Sally is a very busy woman.
