Book review: One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus

 This book has been on my GoodReads "want to read" list for a while so it was both satisfying to finally get it off my list but it was also a very thrilling and twisting mystery novel.  In this book, each character has their own section which I found kind of neat to see each of the perspectives of the characters and how different their personalities and lives are.  I would recommend this book for young adults 13 and up as it does have some coarse language and some mature circumstances and scenes.  The main characters in the book are Bronwyn who is an intelligent girl who comes from a family of Yale graduates, Cooper who is an all-star baseball player, Addy who is known at Bayview high as being popular and beautiful, Nate who is already on Probation for dealing drugs, and Simon who is the creator of the gossip app About That.  The five of them end up in detention and by the end of detention, Simon is dead.  This book made me feel a lot of emotions at one point I felt bad for a character and then I felt worse for another character.  If you are a mystery fan, I highly recommend you read One of us is lying and I also would like to read the sequel as soon as I can get it.

My favorite aesthetic google fonts

  Are you a person like me who uses Google docs, Google slides, or Blogger a lot?  If so, you might be getting tired of the same old regular font so I made a list of my favorite cute and aesthetic Google fonts! Indie flower:  Indie flower is a font that gives me kind of handwriting cartoon aesthetic vibes and I like using this font for titles or subheadings.

Educational math games for kids

  The best way to engage kids in learning activities is through games.  So, I decided to put a list of fun but educational math games together for your class to enjoy!   MATH: Nerdle-the daily numbers game:  On Nerdle, there is a new math problem to figure out every day (you can even turn this into a daily thing or a Friday treat!)  In Nerdle, you have an amount of 6 guesses and you have to figure out the number sequence by entering in number sentences (you can see the example photo below).  A green number means the number is in the equation and in the right spot, purple means the number is in the equation but not in the right spot, and black means the number is not in the equation at all.  Play Nerdle here:  https://nerdlegame.com/ Mathgames.com:  Math games is a website with multiple math games to choose from.  Before you begin playing a game, it will ask you your grade and what math skill you are practicing.  NOTE:  The...
