So, this unit kinda freaked me out. At the beginning when Mr. Jackson had us watch the video on Long Division, I wanted to crawl in a hole and eat a lot of Twizzlers. But, as I walked in to class on Monday, my whole sight was changed. I was making things more complicated then they had to be. After we got done with the discussion about long division, I actually went home and printed off the extra worksheets. Many students were still confused about this whole long division thing. In my mind, it's because they didn't get enough practice. Many complain about the work, but when you write something down multiple times, you remember much easier than just doing the bare minimum that is given. Because when you go above and beyond, you learn more. In doing the extra work, I learned quicker and easier and scored a whopping 99% on the test which I couldn't be more proud of!

I am very proud of you too! The extra practice does help. I'm just glad that you went and got it on your own because you knew you needed it. Love the title of your post...made me laugh!
