 Cheese Puffs 

No Stir, No Bake Halloween Food Idea

So this is just the easiest idea because you just have to buy Cheese Puffs. You could set these on the table in a cute black bowl and put spider stickers on the bowl or make these cute little party favors!

Do you need to teach vocabulary?? You Decide!

Researchers found that 3-year-old vocabulary levels were indicative of their reading success in upper elementary grades and the gap grew wider as children progressed through school.

We must make sure our students are consistently reading and being read to.

 

Save Empty Candle Jars for Halloween Upcycling!

 

Frankenstein’s Monster

Line a Large Tumbler Candle jar with green tissue paper, place battery-operated fairy lights inside, and glue on construction-paper face shapes and hair. The hair is key in making him come to life — I added the hairpiece to the rim of the lid for a seamless transition!”

Jack O’ Lantern

“The Original Medium Jar Candle jar instantly took on the personality of a cute Jack O’ Lantern. Orange pipe cleaners allow the fairy lights to shine through and gave the jar the desired color, and the lines of the cleaners mimic the shape and texture of a pumpkin. Glue black construction paper eyes, mouth, and nose to the jar.”

Ghost

Use regular facial tissue, then carefully line the interior of an original Large Jar Candle jar with tissue, added the fairy lights, and added the face using the same technique as the others: construction paper and glue!”

Could this be empathy???

 

 

 

 

What do you think????

An alternative to popsicle sticks for equity...put student numbers on the bottom of mini ducks for randomly calling on students.

Two civil rights icons died on 6/17/2020-John Robert Lewis died at age 80 after a battle with cancer. C.T. Vivian died at age 90 of natural causes.

They were the epitome of "good trouble" -- Lewis' favorite saying and approach to confronting injustices guided by his belief in nonviolence. They worked alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the forefront of the historic struggle for racial justices in the 1960s. At the time, their bloody beatings during protests shocked the nation and galvanized support that led to key changes in the fight for equality. For their years of arrests, confrontations and unyielding demands for justice, they received the highest civilian honor from the nation's first Black President-Barack Obama.

Lewis, a Democrat who served as the US representative for Georgia's 5th congressional district for more than three decades, was considered a moral conscience of Congress because of his belief in a nonviolent fight for civil rights.

A follower and colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., he participated in lunch counter sit-ins, joined the Freedom Riders in challenging segregated buses and -- at the age of 23 -- was a keynote speaker at the historic 1963 March on Washington.

At age 25, he also helped lead a march for voting rights on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, where he and other marchers were met by heavily armed state and local police who attacked them with clubs, fracturing Lewis' skull.

Images from that "Bloody Sunday" shocked the nation and galvanized support for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

In 2011, after more than 50 years on the front lines of the civil rights movement, President Barack Obama placed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on his neck.

Online Tutoring at its Finest

“Tell the court I love my wife, and it is just unfair that I can’t live with her in Virginia.”

It was only a mere 53 years ago that interracial marriage became legal across our nation, thanks to Mildred and Richard Loving. Their courage paved the way for so many.

According to Martha Stewart

To avoid spreading coronavirus, the CDC recommends changing out of "outdoor" clothing as soon as you enter your home and advises that you immediately put them in the laundry. If you're handling dirty laundry from someone who already has been infected with coronavirus, wear disposable gloves, disinfect any surfaces that the clothing has come in contact with, and wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds after touching the clothes.

The CDC also says that "if possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items and dry items completely. Dirty laundry from an ill person can be washed with other people's items." Don't forget about cleaning hampers, too—wipe down the interior and exterior with a disinfectant wipe  and clean the disposable bag liner in the washing machine along with other clothing.
