(There ya go!  A pun that has to be written out, in order to be realized/appreciated.  Homophonic fun!  But, I’m guessing that some of you guys had to work to get this. 

I didn’t find it to be obvious.  But, the quotation marks should have been a big clue.  No new clue words, but five of the jumbles appear to be new.  We’ve seen “ignnni” in the past.  I thought “ccthie” was the most challenging of them.  Super cryptic answer letter layout.  A superb jumble, indeed.

Cute classroom cartoon.  Do they teach basic arithmetic in Kindergarten, or in Pre-K, these days?  In Kindergarten, in 1962, I remember finger painting, learning my ABCs, learning to count, playtime – big blocks with the boys, and “house” with the girls.  I played “house” at least as much as I played with the blocks!  Then there’d be milk and graham crackers, and nap time.  Good times.  I even had a pretty teacher.  Miss Williams!  I wonder whatever happened to her?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
