Clara started quizzing me on all kinds of State facts today, and I realized (with only slight panic) that I have a fair amount of brushing up to do. It's easy to fool 1st Graders into thinking you're the smartest teacher on the planet, but 5th Graders aren't so gullible. Good thing for me I'm best friends with Google. I'm also an expert at refusing to answer a question and implying that I know the answer, but requiring my students to practice their research skills and find the answer themselves. Heh heh heh.
