His homework page tonight with instructions to solve the "riddles" with words from the box:
Word choices: flame, take, mistake, same, snake, make, name, brake, games, became.
1. People play them. They are _____. (games)

Question #3 had Jackson really frustrated so he called me over to help him. He couldn't figure out what word it could be! We had a talk about the difference between "break" and "brake" as soon as I could control my giggles. It was the best thing that happened all day.
