OT: Quick Break. A Couple Oldies.

1. (Courtesy of Mrs. Kibitzer.) Read the nursery rhyme, do the math, then answer the question on the last line.

"As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, wives --
How many were going to St. Ives?"​

2. Read this statement and count 's>

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT
OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY.​

First person to get both right gets a Boneyard Bouquet. Good luck.

GO!

BONEYARD BINGO!

N.B. Some get caught up doing the 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 +1. Only 1 went to St. Ives.

Most pick up three but overlook the two in the word "OF" (2x). Correct total is 5 .

Good job. Now try them on your kids.
