Before you click on the link below, you must agree to the following statement:

“I completed all my responsibilities.  I finished homework.  I read and responded.  I completed vMath.  My bookbag and lunch is packed.  I folded laundry and put it all away.  I emptied the trash and the dishwasher.  I will walk away from this game after one hour, so I get a good night’s rest.”

Promise?

Okay.

I found a really fun game that I’ve been wanting to share with you all summer.  It’s called “Game About Squares.” It's addicting, and it's not easy!  I love the feeling of joy when I solve something that is challenging for me. Good luck, have fun, but don’t forget your promise above!

Out of the 50 states in the United States of America, which is the ONLY one wtih a ONE-SYLLABLE name?  Watch and find out!

Whether you love school, sports, music, art, technology, etc. it is awesome to be you.  Do not let others make you feel bad about yourself.  You should also understand that there are many who are just like you.   You are not alone. Watch this video of Wil Wheaton. This former Star Trek star and proud Nerd answered a young girl who asked him how she should deal with being called a “nerd” by classmates. Wheaton’s response is great.

As a matter of fact, if someone calls you a nerd, I would take it as a compliment.  It's probably because you love school, and are good at it.  It can be hurtful, to be called names.  Please understand  when people are mean, it's not about YOU.  It's about THEM.  

"Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen."

What do you believe you can do this year to make this the best year ever?
