@lisabee2 Thanks for the info. I'll know better for next month, though hopefully I won't be so pressed against a wall in June.
Jumping in on the math conversation...
I love math! I'm a teacher as well, though I just substitute, and I love when I get opportunities to make math less scary-looking for kids who dislike it. One of my favorite lessons was when I had the kids make their own board games (we were talking about "fair" games of equal probability), and I handed out different dice to each player in the group. Some dice had four sides, others had six, others twelve, and others twenty. The kids had a blast and a good laugh when they realized just how quickly the game got out of control when the odds were so far in one player's favor.
