Problem-Solving:

The Magic Square

 

Today's Snack: Make two pieces of checkerboard bread! Take two different colored pieces of bread, such as whole-wheat white, and pumpernickel. Cut each into nine pieces - three vertical slices, cut into three squares. Now remove every other square, and replace so that instead of two solid-colored pieces of bread, you have two checkerboards. Add some meat or cheese, and wash down with a half-glass of white milk and a half-glass of chocolate milk!
