Sooooo close! Yet so far away...

99.9% of the time, I am capable of translating everything 
my mini-martians are saying. It's as if my days have turned into professional games of word scramble and "Guess Who?" 

Little by little, I'm working on ways to make covert corrections...

Miss Stacey, if I find a cine-pone when we're outside today - 
can I keep it? 

Me

Absolutely! I'll also be on the lookout for PINE CONES today. 

Charlie to the classroom

Cool! I hope we all find lucky cone-pines today :)

[For whatever reason, this word is a lost cause for the fours]
