The good and bad of editing

September 29th.

 

Nothing last week, which was deliberate because I had little to say. This time there’s more but then no more for a while because we are off to Spain for a couple of weeks. The promotion for Roselli’s Gold with ENT went well. I sold 87 copies on the day of the promotion, and a few more after that. Not a huge amount, but at least the royalties will cover the cost of the promo. I shall be going quiet while in Spain, but when I get back, there will be…

The Kansas–Nebraska Act

Officially titled "An Act to Organize the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas," the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, opening new lands for settlement, and had the effect of repealing the Missouri Compromise of 1820 by mandating “popular sovereignty” – which allowed the settlers of a federal territory to decide the slavery question without interference from Congress. http://bit.ly/1KOKtbj

Reading: The Most Important Activity to do Together

As parents, we often worry about how we can actively help ours children’s education. Most of us aren’t teachers; we do not work in schools. In fact, we do not always even understand the standards they are supposed to learn, let alone know how to help them. But there is one activity we can do regularly that keeps us engaged with our kids, and helps their education at the same time: reading.

Reading is the most important academic activity you can do with your child.

When you read…

The Concept of Soul Mates

How do you define a “soul mate”? Is it somebody we share a special bond with? Is it the one man or woman, as cliché goes, who is “destined” to walk life’s smooth or bumpy road with us? What is your concept of soul mate? Do you believe you can have just one or can there be more than one happily ever after? http://bit.ly/1FCn6EN

Arachnophobia

Each one of us has a deep-seated fear. They come in all forms whether it’s fear of heights, to the more absurd, such as the fear of beautiful women (yes, there is such a thing. Look it up!). Well, there is one fear that is quite common. That is the fear of creepy, crawly insects. Surely, you can agree with me on this. Insects are so unpredictable and they can sneak into tiny space or any part of your body. Typing about that already makes my skin crawl, sheesh!…

KEEPING PARCC IN MIND FOR MATH… WITHOUT TEACHING TO THE TEST

Last week we looked at ways to prepare students for the PARCC assessment without falling prey to simply “teaching to the test”. With the following recommendations, math teachers will not only prepare their students for the new assessment but also continue to motivate them to enhance their mathematical proficiency.

Be aware of the “core” differences.

The PARCC test will reflect the Common Core Content standards, and those who have been teaching math for years must now adjust:…

SPRING AND SUMMER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ELA TEACHERS

With all of the changes that the Common Core has ushered in, keeping up professionally has been extremely difficult for most teachers during the school year.

Poem: With a Clear Direction

Joy comes to us, when we have…

a clear direction for our life.

Staying on the right path means

walking by the Light of Christ.

When following His divine course,

comfort is found in His Presence

and eternal pleasures are at hand,

for a lifetime of sacred pleasance.

The Kingdom of Heaven is akin to…

buried treasure, hidden in a field.

There’s a great expectation found

in the promise of what it may yield.

Do you know the track…
