Today in math class we had a word problem that included cardinal directions. The kids began asking "Which way is north again?". So I helped them by reminding them of "Never Eat Shredded Wheat or Never Eat Soggy Waffles" going clockwise. "Can we create our own way of remembering the cardinal directions?" They asked. "Sure! Whatever helps" I answered. A few minutes later.... "Ms. Torres, I found the perfect way to remember the directions that will help all students. Ready... 'Never Ever Smoke Weed!" "Oh my!" I replied while laughing outloud. "Yes, please never do that!!!"
