[Are ya' lion?] Are ya' a tiger? Are ya' lyin' about lyin?

I have this friend.

He's pretty hilarious.

Or thinks he is anyway, lol.

When we were in college and working graveyard shift at a local manufacturing company, he'd ask the weirdest questions.

When I'd answer, he'd always ask, "Are ya' lyin'?"

"No."

"Are ya' a tiger?"

"Ummm. . .no."

"Are ya' lyin' about lyin'? 'Cause ya' can't lie about lyin'!"

Anyway. . .that's the totally unnecessary background knowledge (which I've been reading this oh so fascinating book about how background knowledge is a necessary component into comprehension) so you can comprehend my blog post title.  And maybe understand why I chose to have the kids feed the "lying" equations to the lion. . .or maybe not.  Maybe it will just make you realize that I really am as weird as you thought.

Oh.My.

I need MORE SLEEP!!

Anyway. . .(the most common used word to transition to a totally different topic or to return a group to the topic that was supposed to be the main topic). . .

Are ya' LION?

Simply wonderfully adorably awesome clip art from Michelle at Cre8tive Hands (you MUST go check out her blog if you haven't yet!!!) will make a fun subtraction fact practice for your littles (1.OA.7 – Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false).

Love it?  Take it, enjoy it, pin it, say thank you. ;)

Happy Thursday!
