Hi! This is Heather from Campfire Curriculum with Helpful Heather. As we discussed in Part One research says children that struggle with comprehension also struggle with vocabulary. This three part series lends quick and easy ways to expand your students' vocabulary and also strengthen their overall comprehension. Please revisit Sowing The Seeds Of Vocabulary (Part One) to help you understand and implement vocabulary in your classroom. This post (Part Two) will remind you how important it is to use Marzano's Vocabulary Process and Multiple Intelligence Theory to reach all students!
throughout the day. American children struggle with comprehension. If we strengthen their knowledge of words throughout the day we will strengthen their response skills on tests and beyond. This post (Part Two) will make sure that you are not missing a single student!
When teachers use a trusted process like Marzano's 6 Step Vocabulary Process they will methodically and easily teach vocabulary throughout the day, week, month, semester. Make a miniature copy of this chart and keep it in your planning binder. Use this process to guide yourself through your lesson planning!
Don't forget to model how to define a word. Let students know that they should try to make a personal connection when creating a definition. When I defined the word 'disappointed' to my class I told them about a day when I was young. It was my favorite season.... autumn..... and I was so excited to jump into a leaf pile. My family raked a huge pile of leaves. It was my turn to jump and I was so excited. I ran as fast as I could and before my jump..... I stepped into a pile of dog poop! I was disappointed (among other things). This was an example that my students remembered and I modeled making a personal connection.
This can be the next days lesson or happen immediately after modeling. With students knee to knee (on the carpet) or shoulder to shoulder (at their table), have them discuss with each other the vocabulary word at hand. Maybe they were disappointed a time when the zoo was closed, when they dropped their ice cream cone, or when they received a knock off toy instead of the 'real' thing! Use calling sticks to have students/partners share!
Allow students to illustrate their ideas. If this portion of your lesson is not done immediately following "Restate" then remind your students what they discussed or allow them to discuss their personal definitions with their partners/class.
Don't introduce new words and then move on. Come back and continuously use and review those words. This can make a wonderful center activity! New words can be added as students become confident in their use. Play games with the words and ask them to use them in their writing. You can even give them a starter sentence: The girl looked disappointed when _______.
Add more fun into the mix to reinforce those vocabulary words. Some fun games/activities can be to put on a play or make vocabulary trading cards (Explained in detail in Part Three). Continue to reinforce vocabulary throughout each lesson.
Don't forget about the different types of learning. Some students learn using one type of learning but most students learn using a mixture of them! I like to keep a checklist of the Multiple Intelligences on my lesson plan. When I am done planning I see if I have checked off each one (at least weekly if not daily). How many students are you reaching?
Add musical learning into your lessons! Use them as the anticipatory set to get the students excited. Great songs can be found on Teachertube, Youtube, and GoNoodle! My students love to sing and dance while learning and I'm sure yours will too!
Make sure your students are moving! There are so many games that allow movement while learning. Don't be afraid to let your students play to learn. I want you to have fun games that don't break the bank or steal your precious time. The games listed above are fun and excited for your students and you won't be out a lot of money or time.
Cup Stacking- write the definition on the bottom of the cup and tuck the definition inside the cup.
What's My Word- Students wear a sentence strip on their head with the vocabulary word on it. Students have to define the word until the student guesses his/her word correctly. Lanyards turned around (onto the student's back) can word too!
Musical Spelling- Students write their vocabulary words and/or definitions. When the teacher starts to play music the students put down their pencils and dance around the tables. When the music stops the students start writing the next word! The fun continues for as much time as you have set!
You can find rolling cubes that allow you to insert definitions/illustrations to start discussions or writing. If you refuse to purchase them make one yourself! I found a box, covered it in packing tape, and made pockets with packing tape. Then I could keep all of the words that we used throughout the year inside the box. You can even create rolling cubes that students can take home too! I found that if you cover the paper in packing tape prior to cutting it, the cube (below) will have a laminate-like covering. The students love to toss the cube and it doesn't make a lot of noise! Other ideas include Bag It! - a fun foldable project found on Campfire Curriculum with Helpful Heather or trading cards (Part One).
Make a Roll It! with written prompts!
Make a Roll It! with illustrated prompts!
Make a Roll It! with your own creative ideas!
Don't forget to allow students to reflect on learning by themselves. Some students like to do research or use technology to find more! You can even find links to make vocabulary trading cards!
Let students play together. Remember those games we discussed earlier? Use those to allow students to learn while playing. You can find my trading card template on Campfire Curriculum with Helpful Heather.
Teachers can appreciate students that learn by categorizing items. These activities can help your student learn as a naturalist!
The existential student likes to apply their learning! Use some of the ideas from above to help those students soar!
Allow students to discuss with each other, act out as in charades, or read their final work to the other students.
Yes! You can even reach the mathematical students! You can have students roll a number that equates to an activity prompt or have them write a word problem using the vocabulary word. If the student needs help- you can write the problem with them and have them figure out the problem!
I created the vocabulary templates shown in this post to assist you. Come over to my website (Campfire Curriculum) for a free download! Many more free templates are coming your way as this post series continues!
Let everyone know how it works for you! Do you have a success story to tell? A game that your students loved that helped them learn vocabulary? Tell everyone about your "Teacher Wins"! We want to hear them! Don't forget to stay tuned........ this is the second in a series of vocabulary posts. In the posts to come, you will learn how to implement vocabulary into behavior management, small groups, whole group, and more tricks to help you teach vocabulary with ease!

Under Michigan law, it is a misdemeanor offense to drive with a suspended or revoked license. In the real world, DWLS/DWLR cases are amongst the most common that pass through the court system. For the most part, these cases can be handled painlessly, but the concerns they present run deeper than just staying out of jail, although that’s not always obvious at first glance. In this article, I want to look at a few things: The difference between a suspended license and a revoked license, the legal concerns and implications of each, and how, as a practical matter, these two types of cases, often confused as the same thing, play out differently in court and in a person’s life.
First, let’s define these acronyms: DWLS stands for “driving while license suspended,” and DWLR stands for “driving while license revoked.” The difference between suspended and revoked is pretty significant. A suspended license is a license that has been taken away for a specific time period, or will be returned upon the happening of a specific event, like the payment of money. A revoked license is one that has been completely taken away by the state, and will not be returned until and unless a person, when eligible, files and wins a full driver’s license restoration hearing, no matter how long he or she otherwise waits. It’s easy to understand this in school terms: A student is suspended for a period of days or weeks, but returns to school thereafter. A revoked license is like being expelled; you’re out for good unless you formally petition the appropriate board and win your appeal. If you don’t, then you remain expelled or revoked.
For the most part, revoked licenses are the result of multiple DUI convictions. By contrast, a license can be suspended for any of many reasons, although the most common are unpaid tickets, unpaid driver responsibility fees, or a 1st offense DUI or drug crime. As it works out, there are really 2 classes of people, separated by how they are perceived and treated in the court system: Those whose suspension results from a DUI (remember, revocations almost always do), and everyone else. As a practical matter, if the reason for your suspension is anything other than a drunk driving conviction, you’re better off than if it is.
I have written rather extensively on this topic, so if you want to go deep, you can find a detailed analysis of just about every aspect of these cases here, in the Revoked and Suspended Driver’s Licenses section of this blog, and in the various relevant revoked and suspended license sections on my site. We’ll skip all the deep analysis here, in this article because it doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you have had your license revoked, or even suspended for a DUI, and you get caught driving afterwards, it just looks bad. Driving on a license suspended or revoked for drunk driving understandably looks worse than it does when someone who merely failed to pay a ticket get caught behind the wheel, perhaps going to work. You don’t need to be a Judge, lawyer or police officer to figure this out. But you do need a lawyer to push this point on your behalf and watch out for consequence that can sneak up on you later and cost you money, or cause you to be without a license all over again, or for longer than need be. Although it’s never “okay” to drive without a valid license, a legitimate reason for having done so, like going to work, picking up the kids, or running a necessary errand, can be very useful when it comes to driving a plea bargain that won’t cause you to lose your license all over again.
If your license is/was suspended, then a DWLS charge carries the possibility of an additional suspension being piled on. Especially in the case of a 2nd or subsequent offense, there are several quick and easy plea bargains that can often be struck, but some of them can cost you a fortune in driver responsibility fees. This is where experience and patience counts. The ultimate goal in handling a suspended license case is to avoid jail (almost always NOT a problem), to save your license, and then save your money, as well. This typically require more effort on the lawyer’s part than simply showing up in court and asking the prosecutor for a break. While there are countless things that can figure into how any particular DWLS case should be handled, the most obvious of them is that it may take more than 1 or 2 trips to court to produce the best result. At least in my practice, I work on a flat-fee basis, so I never wind up having to ask my client for more money to come back, so any return trips to court are obviously for the benefit of the client, and not me. Beyond all the legal stuff here, it’s a matter of honesty and integrity and doing the right thing.
In a revoked license case, things are different. Jail, while usually not an imminent threat, is still more of a possibility for someone who can’t drive because of multiple drunk driving convictions than it is for someone who forgot to pay a ticket. The financial exposure in DWLR cases is far greater, and most of all, the license consequences are way more severe. If a person has had his or her license revoked for 2 DUI’s within 7 years and gets caught driving before he or she wins it back, then it will be revoked all over again. It doesn’t matter what kind of driving offense a person works out, either. This can get tricky, but even if a person plea bargains a DWLR charge down to the most minor traffic infraction, once the Secretary of State finds out that a person has been driving, he or she will receive what is called a “mandatory like additional” revocation for driving when his or her license was revoked. This means that the lawyer has to fight like hell to keep ANY kind of violation off of the client’s driving record. For anyone revoked for 3 DUI’s within 10 years, the license sanction is another 5-year revocation, all over again. There is NO way around these penalties if a person is convicted of any moving violation, so the lawyer must work out a suitable deal to avoid them.
By the time you stand in front of him or her, the Judge will know all about your driving record. As I noted earlier in this installment, if a person is facing a DWLS charge for not paying a ticket, he or she will just be “seen” differently than if he or she has been charged with DWLR after multiple drunk driving convictions. That said, the kind of plea bargain a person’s lawyer negotiates figures into how he or she is treated, as well. I handle DWLS/DWLR cases every week. I routinely work out DWLR cases in a way that nothing goes on my client’s driving record. This prevents my client from being revoked all over again, thereby preventing him or her from moving forward with a driver’s license restoration case. When I do this, the Judge almost always notes what a great deal my client has received, and I make sure that he or she knows that it was worked out because my client deserves it, and that my client is going to make the best of it. Ultimately, we want the Judge to go easy and go along with the plea bargain so that the person can get “legal” and get his or her license back.
As the lawyer, I must use every tool possible to produce the best outcome for my client. DWLS and DWLR cases are really the “bread and butter” amongst all the kinds of cases that wind through our local, Detroit-area district courts. Location matters in these cases in the same way it does in DUI cases. Proper handling of these cases calls for the lawyer to do more than just show up and ask for the deal of the day. In the final analysis, it’s your life and your future, and you want to be sure the person representing you does everything humanly and legally possible to produce the very best outcome possible.
If you are facing a DWLS or DWLR charge, do your homework as you look for a lawyer. Read my other articles, and read whatever other articles you can from every lawyer who puts them out. Call around and ask questions. If your case is pending anywhere in Macomb, Oakland or Wayne County, I can help you, and will fight to make sure you get the very best possible outcome. You can reach my office Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., at 586-465-1980. We’re here to help.

Are you on a budget but still want new flooring? Laminate floor should be on top of your list. Not only because it’s very economical, but it also comes in all different types of colors and textures. Whether sophisticated, modern or classic, you will have no problem finding a design/style that would fit in great with any room in your home. Just because you're shopping on a budget doesn't mean you have to sacrifice appearances.
What makes laminate flooring perfect for busy families? Laminate floors are impenetrable, stain free and extremely easy to clean. You don’t need tough brushes or strong chemicals to get rid of dirt, dust or stains. You can basically place it anywhere in your home, in areas with heavy traffic and in those moisture prone areas where you can’t use hardwood floors. It is versatile and doesn’t cost as much as other types of flooring. Entranceways or bathrooms are great places for it.
Don’t hesitate to call Burch Brothers to get the best flooring solution for your home. We offer a wide array of flooring products with flexible pricing. We stand behind all of our flooring materials 100%, we wouldn't sell anything that we wouldn't put in our own homes.
Laminate flooring is made up of layers each specifically engineered to create an indestructible plank that can resist moisture, scratches and whatever you may throw at it. It is coated with a melamine resin to protect the board from stains and scratches making cleaning and maintenance easy and trouble free. You shouldn't need more than a rag or broom to clean up many messes really. If, for instance, you spill juice or wine on your old carpet floor. If you don't have a steam cleaner already, you'll need to buy one or pay for a carpet cleaning service to come in and remove that stain. With laminate, you'll never have to worry about anything like that.
Because of its glossy surface, laminates are perfect for busy areas such as your kitchen, and halls. No need to worry about spills, and pet accidents. You can get rid of all the dust, spills and stains in just one wipe. Now how cool is that? With nearly any other type of flooring spills are bad news and can truly cause worry.
You can have “hardwood” or “stone” flooring in areas where real hardwood or real stone flooring may not be appropriate. Laminated floor boards are available in different styles and designs. Available in stone and wood patterns, you can now have the perfect floor to match your design anywhere in your home. Regardless of your style, we think you can find something that fits you.

Finding the remaining Catalysts should have been easy. Or, at least easier. With the first of five Catalysts safely under their protection, the Rogue Dragonics are one step closer to the Prophecy. One step closer to revealing The One who will free Solera from the Chancellor’s tyranny.
But all leads have turned up dry or are suddenly silent. Dead. To make matters worse, Commander Callon McKafrey has gone missing – it’s been days since anyone has heard from him.
In today’s Solera, it is every man for himself. No one can be trusted and selflessness is a distant memory. But, when a stranger with a not-so-secret alliance gets cornered, the only thing to do is help. Help because he’s a good guy in a world gone mad – a resistance fighter against the Realm’s corruption – a Rogue Dragonic.
Even if it means revealing a dark secret – one that tends to get people killed. A secret that will throw the entire order of Rogue Dragonics on its head and bring them one step closer to ending over 20 cycles of fighting, heartache, and death.
It makes perfect sense. It is perfect timing.
Except… How do you convince someone consumed by secrecy to help anyone but themselves?
I don’t like to pigeon-hole into one genre. I am proud to be known for genre-bending. While my Dragonics & Runics series is, at its heart, a fantasy – there are steampunk, adventure, new adult, action, historical, and even sci-fi elements to it.
Dream big or go home. Then, write.
A. Wrighton has been imagining flights of wild fancy since before she could figure out how to tie her shoes. Her love of writing and her over-active imagination continue to lead her through a life full of creative and amazing adventures. To honor her hours of reading, writing, and getting lost in great stories, she earned honors a BA in English with honors, as well as an MFA in Creative Writing with honors. From reading fantasy and sci-fi books underneath her bedcovers as a child, A. Wrighton has developed a passion for magic, mischief, and the exploration of the unknown — especially when it comes to mythical & unbelievable creatures. A. Wrighton resides in beautiful Ventura County, California and loves her native city of Los Angeles. She lives with her loving family, two dogs, and a tortoise, and is often found writing in little neighborhood joints – an obscenely large cup of coffee at her side.
My love of dragons, history, and adventure brought this novel – and the entire Dragonics & Runics series about. Steeped in the raw elements of what humanity can and will do under hard circumstances, a lot of people liken the Dragonics & Runics series to a fantasy interpretation of WW2 and the Holocaust – but with dragons, magic, and less guns.

When I click the messages and the drop down menu appears with the list of recent messages, I can not go to the message from the drop down list. I must 'Go To Message Center' and view the message list, and click from there. Obviously not a huge deal, and if this is the worst thing about the site, then that's great.

Marking an increased seriousness or for financial gain?
The Sentencing Counsel has announced an increase in the financial penalty for the highest tier speeding offences. Convicted motorists will now face a fine 50% in excess of that which they had previously, calculated against their income.
Whilst there is logic in the change, questions could be asked as to the rationale behind making it at this time. It is usually the case that such changes are made on the preface that it will decrease offending and increase road safety however, a more cynical view would simply be that it would increase revenue taken by way of fines.
Were it the case that the harsher penalty was intended to deter offending, an increase in the number of penalty points or disqualification periods may well have been more appropriate. The Sentencing Counsel have however simply increased the financial penalties which arguably is not the greatest deterrent in such cases. The increase will only be effective against motorists not accepting fixed penalties, falling with the top speeding band. From our experience, it is rarely within the knowledge or mindset of an offending driver that they risk paying a fine, their consideration is predominantly on the affect conviction will have on their driving licence.
In our view, the rate of offending is unlikely to show any significant decrease as a result of this change but of course the revenue taken will certainly increase.

We have compiled a list of unexpected and helpful tips to make your home more energy efficient.
By now you may be thinking you have read about all the energy efficiency tips for your home known to mankind, though fear not, that simply is not the case. There is always something new you can try to lower those electric bills while keeping your carbon footprint in check. Considering that 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse-gases are pumped into the air each year, in the U.S. alone, we must realize that each minor contribution made to saving energy can reduce this toxic pollution. Take the next step and check out these unexpected tips that can help you conserve energy and save a few bucks at the same time.
The average family in the U.S. spends about $1,900 per year on home energy bills. This equates $241 billion per year that we spend on energy, and nearly half of that cost could be avoided by implementing basic money saving energy efficiency tips. It is not just about the money either, producing energy is a dirty business. Since most of the energy produced in the U.S. is created via coal fired power plants, which produce harmful toxins, such as mercury, reducing your energy consumption can have positive health benefits for our future generations.
Help keep the planet green and keep a little extra cash in your pocket by using these less than obvious energy efficiency tips for your home.
Ditch the desktop: By using a laptop or tablet you can cut your energy consumption by nearly a third. You can stretch that even farther by unplugging your device as soon as it is fully charged and then run of battery for as long as possible.
Speed up the spin cycle: Many modern washing machines have options that allow you increase the speed for the spin cycle. This extracts more water, thus reducing the time your dryer will need to operate in order to get those clothes dry. Letting the washing machine run a bit longer on the spin cycle is more economical that running the dryer.
Charge on the go: With so many devices needing to be charged, you can use your commute as a convenient way to keep your eco-friendly smartphone or tablet ready. Your car is already producing “free” electricity, since you are already operating the vehicle, use the power it produces to the full potential. Charge as many devices as you can during your commute.
Lamps in the corner: Yes, you have very pretty lamps that you want everyone to see, but sticking them in the corner will save you money. This is because the light will reflect off the walls, allowing you to use lower wattage bulbs and use less lights in general.
Bundle up the water heater: To save up to 9 percent on your water heating bill, wrap your water heater with a fiberglass blanket. Keeping it bundled up will reduce the wasted heat, thus less energy wasted keeping your water hot.
It is up to each of us to keep the planet green and strive for a sustainable living by becoming energy efficient. These tips are simply one step on a road to a greener tomorrow, but we all have to start somewhere.
These are great tips; especially the one for drying your clothes. I believe everyone should be doing all they can to save energy at home and these are all god ways of doing it.

You never really know how students are going to handle an election year. My first-ever Humanities class revelled in it, joining Walter McKenzie’s Surfaquarium project linking classrooms nationally, researching and presenting different candidates, refining and strengthening their views on different issues, and debating, debating, debating. With three students supporting George W. Bush, five students supporting John Kerry, one student leaning toward the Green party, and one student resolutely keeping her preferences to herself, discussions were lively indeed and my primary role was that of moderator. So I was ready for a replay four years ago – and the students’ attitude seemed to be, no thanks, we hear enough about the election as it is, could we study something else please? With those two extreme experiences behind me, I am definitely ready for anything this year.
Nancy Flanagan, a former middle school music teacher and now a blogger for EducationWeek, recently republished a posting on teachers and politics. In it, she argues that while teachers clearly need to avoid trying to influence students’ views, elections offer schools a wonderful chance to teach about not only the political process but also skills of critical thinking, civic engagement, respectful listening, and how to form and shape one’s own personal views. Some teachers may prefer to avoid any mention of their own political leanings, others may prefer to state their personal views in a way that is respectful to other perspectives, and still others may prefer to avoid politics altogether. The latter approach, Nancy argues, is the only one of three that is indefensible. Politics are inherently part of teaching, after all, even in as basic a sense as defining school rules and norms.
I happen to believe that what one decides in the privacy of an election booth is entirely one’s own business, to share or not as one sees fit, and I have never shared my specific votes with anyone, even my wife. I am resolutely independent (or “Unenrolled” as we call it in Massachusetts), work to keep an open mind until as close to voting day as possible, and since turning 18 have voted for members of not only both major parties but also independents and members of smaller parties. If students ask, I will share this information with them. I will welcome any conversations they wish to have, and if Humanities 7 wants to do a unit on the election, will work with them to make it a positive experience.
But whatever happens specifically in regard to the election, I can promise I will be political in this sense: I will continue to fight for not just equality but also equity in the world for all my students regardless of gender, gender expression, race, sexuality, or any number of axes of diversity. I have a quote up in my classroom from Gloria Steinem: “[The message I would most want to instill in young girls is] that each of them is already a unique and valuable person when she is born; every human being is.” To my mind, starting with the basis that we are all unique human beings equally worthy of respect is a great foundation. Everything else can build on that.
Don’t tell my students, but we’re two days from the start of school and I just finished my last summer reading book for IB English. It’s not that I’ve been lazy— in fact, the only thing I have accomplished this summer is reading books. All my usual ambitious projects— cleaning the attic, weeding through the outgrown baby toys and clothes, painting the fence— remain unfinished. I spent the summer chasing my kids, and reading. Usually I grabbed my chance for focused quiet during naptime and nighttime, but I have also become a master at reading over the sound of screeching or the “Dora” theme song (I figure if I’m going to ignore my kids at least they will see me reading a book, which sort of counteracts the television they’re watching, right?).
I grew up in a household of readers. Downtime on family vacations was spent in separate corners of rented houses, everyone getting lost in their own books, together. As a mother, among the things I frequently feel grateful for (My kids ate a green vegetable today! They are healthy and happy! No one snuck into my bed tonight!) is the fact that my children love books. At four and two, neither of them can read yet, but they each recite their favorite books, word for word, from memory. This is the earliest version of the intimate ways we absorb the books we love.
There’s a lot of research and writing about the effects on young people over the course of a summer spent reading or not reading. The simplified finding is that reading, like many other things, is a practice that students should continually cultivate, both in and out of school. I mean, it doesn’t take a PhD and a research lab to understand this concept: don’t exercise for three months and it will be really hard to run three miles on the first day of soccer practice; don’t practice math or French or reading over a long period of time and…you get the picture. And even more research is being done about the ways that on-line reading is affecting and changing students’ learning. Nicholas Carr’s The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, was my faculty summer reading book. Much of his research and discussion focuses on the in-depth learning that happens when you read a printed book from cover to cover. Reading an on-line text, he argues, often leads to shallow and distracted learning, largely due to our personal habits when sitting in front of a screen, and to the hyper-links that invite us further and further down the rabbit-hole and away from our original task.
One of the books I re-read this summer is Beloved, by Toni Morrison. I hadn’t read it since high school, and I was thinking about teaching it in my senior IB English class this spring. Now, I last read this book twenty years ago. I could have told you it was a good book; I could even have told you, at the most basic level, what it’s about: a former slave and her ghost baby. But that’s all I remembered. I still had my book from high school, so that’s the copy I began to read. Here’s what happened: as soon as I entered the book, I realized that I did remember it. But not remember it like I could recite the plot to you— not that kind of remember. Remember like a world I had once inhabited; a world that I used to know very well— from a distance it seems fuzzy, but once you step in, you realize, “I’ve been here before.” Morrison’s language— her descriptions of the forest and river and haunted house and the shed where her baby died (Dear God, the shed!)— it all felt like it was mine again. Of course it helped that all my underlining and margin notes and vocabulary definitions were still there (and my notes were good! No wonder I became an English teacher!). I don’t remember the class, I don’t remember the teacher, I don’t remember if I was forced to do all that notation, or if I did it on my own; but I do remember the book. This is what happens when you really read and absorb a book that you love: it becomes a part of you, forever.
I don’t need any amount of published research validating my work as an English teacher. You won’t find ebooks or hyper-linked texts in my classroom. All my students need is a book, a pencil, and an engaged brain. When they read a text from start to finish they learn how to follow a sustained argument or narrative; they learn how to find threads and make connections across 300 pages; they learn syntax and grammar and vocabulary; they learn, with in-depth study, that less truly is more; they learn to quiet their brains in this world that clatters so loudly around us. Not every student loves to read; but every student will learn from reading, whether she likes the books or not. My hope for all of them is that they discover those books— whether in or out of class— that truly catch them; books that they don’t just read, but absorb, as I did, so many years ago with Beloved.
I am a grateful mother indeed.
“You’re dripping.” I looked down to see a few drops of coffee on my shorts, not a complete surprise since I had to take a few sips off the drip guard of my Joe Bean’s coffee cup when I picked it up. Before I could act, my son took the cup from me, gently wiped my hand off, wiped down the cup as well, and handed it back to me. I thanked him, and we resumed our conversation as we continued heading north to Charlottesville where my son was moving in as a first year student at the University of Virginia.
Moving in was quick and smooth – after three years of boarding school, we have this down to a science, and the friendly student greeters waiting to help bring stuff upstairs, the multiple chalked welcomes, and the welcome banner hanging from the dorm made for a warm atmosphere. Once he was moved in, my wife and I let him set the rhythm for the rest of day, including when we would leave, and we moved unhurriedly from lunch at Bodo’s Bagels to picking up a few items nearby to checking out the university bookstore to the parking lot near his dorm. There, we said our goodbyes which, while certainly tinged with wistfulness, showed the confidence we all had in my son’s readiness for college and in the closeness of our relationship.
There were certainly contrasts with the day we first moved my son into a dorm room as a high school sophomore. While my wife and I were determinedly cheerful, and my son simply determined, there was an unquestionable undercurrent of nervousness. We were confident in our decision for him to attend Andover, and confident that we would be able to work through the inevitable bumps along the way. But we didn’t yet know the exact routines we would find and exactly what help and support would be needed. Of course, college brings new routines, and just as our son had been growing in independence through his last three years of high school, so too college would bring increasing independence. But we now have a track record of handling those gradual, almost imperceptible shifts, and we still have a strong and deep love that we know we can count on.
The next day, I returned to Charlottesville to hear President Sullivan’s talk with new parents. After acknowledging the standing ovation that welcomed her, she focused on the relationship between parents and their children at this time of transition. How the summer might have seen a new testiness, due in all probability to separation anxiety. How this is a time for parents to support but back off and let their kids come into their own. How their views will continue to evolve, both away from and back towards our own as they continue to grow into themselves. How our children will stumble, and how part of our job is to find the courage to let them learn from their own mistakes. What to tell them to support them in making good choices. Thinking of how many parents were going through this same transition, I found myself wondering what the experience was like for parents of Stoneleigh-Burnham’s Class of 2012, many of whom I’ve known for six years and who have always brought smiles to my face. Myself, I just felt lucky. Rather than pushing us away, if anything, my son seemed to be making a special effort this summer to spend time with us. Time and time again, whatever we were doing and whomever we were with, my son showed kindness, strength, intelligence, empathy, humour, and thoughtfulness. It was one of the best summers I’ve ever had, and I am so grateful for the time we had together and for what he brings to my life. We met up for another couple of hours after the talk, and I took him to C’ville Coffee for a sandwich and then to the university store to get his last few books, eventually dropping off a bag of various items he had requested the night before.
Driving home, I pulled up the “Charlottesville 8-25” playlist I had put together especially for this trip. From “Love is Strange” that took me back to when he played Buddy Holly in an elementary school history fair to “Give Your Heart a Break,” the latest “best song ever” he had shared with me, each selection brought back memories of our time together. I had hesitated over only one song, “The Best Day” by Taylor Swift. A mix of reminiscence and thanks expressed to her mother, accompanied by home movies of Ms. Swift growing up in the video version, the song had brought me to tears the first time I had heard/seen it. Indeed, when it played on the drive north to Charlottesville, my eyes did get misty. But on this trip, I found myself smiling quietly when the song came back up. My son’s warm hug at the end of the afternoon and the confident set to his shoulders as he walked back to his dorm to meet up with his roommate and suitemates to go to dinner had told me all I needed to know. His childhood was a gift and a joy, but there are unquestionably many more best days to come.
Lately, my Twitter feed and Facebook timelines have been filling with the ritual “Going in to set up my classroom,” “Did y’all know today is Teacher Appreciation Day at Staples?” and other such comments that show we teachers are hard at work preparing for the imminent arrival of our new students (bearing in mind some schools have already been in classes for some time). Of course, the ritual behind those postings dates back many hundreds if not thousands of years, before social media was even conceived of. By stretching your imagination, you can even picture early cave people checking the firewood or examining weapons as they prepared to teach their children the art of survival.
As the middle school has grown in numbers, it has outgrown its original space and expanded to include a classroom in the back of the library. Last year, Karen Suchenski used the room for Humanities 8, and worked diligently to fill it with furniture, artwork, decorations, and books all of which left the impression that it was less a classroom and more a room in someone’s home that had been devoted to comfort and learning. Indeed, Karen referred to the middle school as “a learning home” in a recent email to me.
This year, she and I are trading places, and as she works on moving her belongings upstairs and redoing the Jesser 3 classroom to support her work, I have been consumed with the need to remake the library classroom into the best possible learning space for my students. With the help and patience of Mark Pelis, our Head of Maintenance, out went every stick of furniture. Away with the SmartBoard on a cart. Bye bye, extra bulletin boards and ancient yellowing map of Africa. Hello, beanbag chairs, cubbies filled with scissors, markers, and all manner of supplies, and wall-mounted SmartBoard. Tod Pleasant, our Director of Technology, has been hard at work creating an access point so that the girls will continue to have 1:1 netbooks for use at a moment’s notice. I want my kids, when they first see the room, to shout with joy and run to plop themselves down in one of the beanbag chairs, artfully arranged in a circle with just enough space for me to sit on the floor among them, ready for the first Morning Reading of the year.
It occurs to me, though, that you can move out the physical trappings of a classroom, but you can not move out the love. Karen poured herself into her work, into understanding and supporting and challenging last year’s eighth graders, and in that peculiar way that rooms seem to have memories, you can still sense her presence as well as that of other caring teachers who preceded her in the room. It is my fervent hope and expectation that by the end of the year, the room will have added another layer of love and care and excitement and (sometimes painful, sometimes joyful, but always present) growth.
Meanwhile, the room sits ready. And so do I.

After 3 days of SERIOUSLY sub zero temperatures, a lot of Telluriders are waking up to frozen pipes this morning. A frozen pipe burst up near Tomboy Road yesterday, shooting water 75 feet into the air!! Brrrr, its definitely chilly out there. On Tuesday we maxed out at 5 degrees in town, and -10 degrees on the mountain. That left only a very few brave souls on the slopes! Today, temperatures are on the rise, hovering around a more 'balmy' freezing level. The sun is shining, the sky is a bright cobalt blue and there is no wind - these are the kinds of winter days we mountain folk dream of.
Telluride Rentals has extended our Winter Ski Special - buy 4 nights, get the 5th night FREE on selected condos, town homes and private homes. This is a great opportunity to snap up a seriously stylish platinum property at a great price.

And for those of you who have never been to Telluride and are wondering what all the fuss is about (or maybe you haven't been here for a while and have forgotten how jaw droppingly beautiful it is here!), I thought I would share a few happy snaps of a recent ski day up in the Palmyra basin...I also threw in a few wildlife shots from an afternoon walk!

text: The Medieval Texts Editorial Committee exists to publish editions of texts bringing to a wider audience some of the remarkable achievements of medieval scholars and thinkers in Britain whose writings have not previously received the modern editorial recognition that they have deserved. Among the greatest figures some of whose writings have appeared in the series are St Anselm (c.1033-1109), Archbishop of Canterbury, and Robert Grosseteste (c.1175-1253), Bishop of Lincoln. The Committee also oversees a sub-committee working to produce a Catalogue of Medieval British Manuscripts containing Commentaries on Aristotle. Aristotelian thought was a very important element in the teaching given in medieval universities and such teaching often took the form of commentaries, of which relatively few have been printed.

In this article the mechanism of influence of social activity on process of functioning of political system is considered. Within the limits of the structural functionalism comparison of concepts Â«political regimeÂ» and Â«political systemÂ» is undertaken. Building upon the L.N.Gumilev's concept of passionarity, dependence of political regime type on level of social activity of a society is investigated. The main aim of this work is to discover why introduction of western political practices into the conditions of clan Islamic societies is ineffective. The scientific novelty of the present work lies in the construction of models representing political system adaptations, caused by dynamic changes of social environment, in conditions of both individualistic and clan societies. As a result of this research there was developed a new typology of political regimes, which takes into account the specifics of clan and individualistic societies' social structure. There also was made a conclusion about existence of social filters at "inputs" and "outputs" of political system in the social environment of clan societies. The role of filter is performed by clan, as a social institution that accumulates and transforms the demands of single individuals. Thus, the political institutions borrowed from individualistic societies will appear in an alien environment and will be unable to perform their functions effectively.

When you’re a low level, the best strategy is to focus on collecting orbs first, than fighting others. With each level-up, your character will grow and change his skin and weapon! This is the evolution process. The bigger you are the slower you get, but the range of your weapon will increase! If you are small, your movement is faster, use that as an advantage. Collect the bigger orbs to earn more experience. Kills will give you the most experience points. When attacking, make sure you have your opponent on the right side, where you hold your weapon. Move your mouse to navigate your character. Use your left mouse button to attack and right mouse button for a speed boost.

It doesn’t take long to come up with a great concept for a project, get the truck, and tear into it only for another great idea to come along, requiring a totally diferent truck. The cool part is, oftentimes your old idea is similar to somebody else’s new idea. And if the opposite is also true, a deal can be made. Some of our truck-loving brethren have taken the art of the trade to new heights. Sometimes a truck will go through several owners and never get inished. While everyone has owned or at least knows about trucks like that, we believe we might have found a new world record holder. See if you can follow along.

Talk to me about teaching media literacy to your teens at school.
10,000 girls are asking Google every month if they’re pretty enough and Google is not kind with its answers.
Many girls around twelve lose their confidence. They start worrying about how they look more than how they’re doing in maths. Girls start to self select themselves out of sports, activities, or even raising their hand in class because they don’t want to draw attention to the way they look. And there are higher rates of depression, anxiety, cutting and poor body image than ever before.
And while we can’t blame this all on the media, messages seen online, at home, in the mall and on social media, reinforce the notion that as a female, being pretty is an important thing to be.
The 1.3 trillion dollar beauty industry spends energy telling girls to look thinner, older, sexier, whiter, more sophisticated, more tanned! And then once they’re older it will tell them to look younger, less wrinkled, still slimmer, but less tanned! Once a woman hits 30 she’ll mostly see ads with models under 20. She’ll never look like them because it’s biologically impossible. It’s called the beauty gap. And it achieves ugly results. Be Real Campaign recently surveyed 1000 young people and 69% were worried about going to school because of their appearance – skin, body shape, or being overweight. That’s a lot of worry! That’s taking up precious mind space, not leaving room to think about getting over the high jump, or whether Hermione and Ron will be prefects, trialling out for Kapahaka, or whether mum will eventually be replaced by a robot.
Pretty Smart is a talk to equip teens, age 11 – 13, with critical thinking. It will teach them how to navigate the hundreds of messages they will see every day and understand what’s real and what’s not. It will teach them beauty is more powerful as a feeling than an adjective. And it will teach them that while it’s fine to want to feel pretty and beautiful, it’s important to not be hoodwinked by the industry coming after them. Because they’ll never win.
Studies show that if teens are taught how the media and advertising work they are less affected by it.
Unilever conducted a two-year worldwide global survey and reported that only 2% of ads show women as being intelligent, 3% in managerial positions and only 1% show women as being funny. The rest show women as something to look at. That’s not funny.
I want to help teens navigate this world and raise a generation who feel Pretty Smart about what they see all around them.
Let’s raise a generation of warriors not worriers!
Breaking down the beauty myths and exposing the tricks of the beauty industry is important work, and Pretty Smart provides a valuable service to empower young women with the tools to combat the destructive side of this industry. It is a hard battle maintaining self-esteem in the face of such opposition but Pretty Smart is fighting the good fight.

As a teacher and a parent I was aware of some of the issues raised in the presentation, what I was fascinated with is the way in which companies market their products completing the cycle of making people feel that they are imperfect. This presentation highlights this in a way that is easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in recommending the presentation to other schools, it was brilliant! I made the comment to Angela that I thought it would also be great for boys to see.

Meister Eckhart once said the most important prayer in the world is just two words: Thank You.
Eckhart is one of our favorite spiritual icons, and we have both made it a point to share our gratefulness throughout the day by saying, “Thank you!” to each other many times a day. It is neither perfunctory, nor an automatic reply; it can always be a sincere and renewed expression of our commitment to living a life in gratitude.
We find it’s difficult, if not impossible, to be upset or stressed about anything when we are experiencing gratitude. Sometimes the simple things are the most powerful!

Thanks to Berkley Pub for the free advanced copies in exchange for our honest reviews.
We both loved this debut thriller!
I absolutely love power couple serial killers. There’s something about seeing the whole story through the eyes of the killers rather than a detective or victim that just tingles me in a different way. My Lovely Wife was an absolute fun ride.
One of the things I loved was that this was through the husband’s eyes the entire time. It’s fun to get inside a man’s head. Imagine finding your soul mate, finding out that you both have a dark side and then exploring that side with him or her. Execution, checkmate and then… wait, what?! Hello surprises, what do you have for me today…. *eyebrow wiggle*. Honestly, I guessed the two major twists from the onset but dang if I didn’t have fun watching it all play out.
I loved the family dynamics and how the actions that happened in the secretive lives bled into their personal ones. Actions upon actions upon actions! There was one tiny twist that I actually didn’t see coming. Wasn’t entirely surprised but was like all right, all right… got me! Absolutely agree with the Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibe in this dark story peppered with levity.
Lovers of the fast paced writing style of B.A. Paris and Claire Macintosh will enjoy this author as well. Fast paced, engaging and deviously delightful, I definitely highly recommend this book and look forward to a lot more from this author.
Prior to picking this one up, I had heard a lot of amazing things and had seen some glowing reviews. Well, I always try to go into those books with an open mind and not set expectations too high. I completely understand the hype. I can’t believe that this is a debut novel. MY LOVELY WIFE by Samantha Downing was a 100% binge read for me and I read it in an evening.
We meet a happily married couple that have been married for 15 years and have two kids. They have steady jobs and live in a nice area – sounds like the picture perfect family. But, come on, we all know things aren’t always as they seem. We see solely through the eyes of the husband and the author slowly feeds us little bits of information and background as the story progresses. When comparing this to Dexter meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith, they were spot on! I don’t want to give away much more because it’s best to go into this one knowing nothing more than the synopsis.
I loved the progression and the little reveals throughout, and make sure you read that epilogue! It was refreshing reading something from the perspective of the killers rather than the investigating detectives or police officers. I will always love getting into the minds of the killers and seeing what makes them tick. If you’re looking for a fast-paced thriller, then I highly recommend picking this one up! Make sure you clear your schedule though because you won’t want to stop. I can’t wait to see what Downing comes out with next.

NEW UNDERWOOD, S.D. (AP) - It’s football playoff day at New Underwood.
High schoolers are wearing purple and white football jerseys and cheerleader outfits in a computer lab, but down the hallway in Stacy Finkbeiner’s sixth-grade physical education classroom, it’s all business as a student in back sets down his blaze orange cap and takes out a pencil as the hunting exam is passed back to him.
He fist pumps in the air. Eagerness to join moms and dads, older siblings and grandparents in the pheasant fields of South Dakota is common for students here.
Less common is a school-sponsored hunting program, but this fall in New Underwood, a quiet, farming and ranch town on the grassy rangeland east of Rapid City, sixth- through eighth-graders in the physical education classroom have all taken - and passed - the new hunting curriculum, sponsored by the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish & Parks.
Children between the ages of 12 and 16 who wish to hunt need to pass the HuntSAFE program, which includes instruction on properly walking rows, crossing fences and handling a rifle, the Rapid City Journal reported. The New Underwood School District, responding in part to the decline of hunting nationally, decided to pass on to students the heritage of hunting. The recent written exam culminated a two-week curriculum.
“Everyone took it pretty seriously, too,” Crowser said.
Around Finkbeiner’s classroom - he also serves as the middle school math teacher and coach for both track and the high school girls’ basketball team at this school district with 237 students K-12 - children diligently took the test. Questions ask about the danger of a .22 bullet at various distances and when should loading of the firearm happen prior to hunting (one seemingly obvious diversion answer is “when you get into your car”).
In the field settings, the students don’t use live guns but non-firing guns specially made by the manufacturer. They feel like rifles, open and close like them, but have no bullets. On one day, the students even used Nerf guns in a field.
One sixth-grader, Jessica Caspers, wears a jacket won from a barrel-racing competition in Rapid City. She said her dad has taken her hunting, but she felt more prepared after the two-week course.
Hunting in South Dakota is big business. South Dakota GF&P; estimates $680 million is generated annually from hunting alone. But national trends, said Tussing, suggest as baby boomers age fewer hunters are stepping in to fill their shoes. A 2017 study from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service showed a decline of 2 million hunters between 2011 and 2016.
New Underwood School District is the third school in the state along with districts in Lyman County and Winner to embed hunter safety into the curriculum. Just recently, sixth-graders at Douglas School District in Box Elder began taking hunter-safety classes.
Previously, when Tussing held HuntSAFE trainings in New Underwood - a town of 660 - approximately six or seven students signed up. But this year between the sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders, there are 52 new young people in town with safety permits.
As the students handed in their exams and waited quietly while others finished, a student in a Captain America T-shirt - Gage Garrett, 11 - grabbed a copy of a glossy magazine called “Hunter’s Handbook” and sat back down at his desk to read. On the cover is embossed “Ensuing the Future of Our Hunting Heritage” with a father and son in blaze orange standing in tall grass, pointing into the distance.

Who’s likes Robinson Ranch plume agate, I do!
A nice colorful piece but really not much plume at all. And I cut it against the plume later because there is a thick bit of black under the reds. Still on the saw thus morning. What to slab next.

EIP has been ranked amongst the world’s leading international Intellectual Property firms by the IAM Patent 1000 – with nine partners singled out as outstanding practitioners.
The 2017 edition of the IAM Patent 1000 – The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners, recommends EIP in each of the International, UK and United States – California, categories.
Jerome Spaargaren, Heather McCann, Matt Lawman and Darren Smyth were named among the top professionals in the UK for patent prosecution. Gary Moss, Robert Lundie Smith and Matthew Jones were ranked among the leading IP litigators in the UK. Co-managing partners of EIP’s San Diego office, Nick Transier and Mallary de Merlier, were ranked among the leading lawyers in California.
The rankings are based upon interviews with private practice lawyers and attorneys and in-house counsel to gather feedback on the leading firms and individuals in the profession globally.
The UK has today voted to leave the European Union. The process by which this happens will be lengthy, and there are no imminent changes affecting intellectual property rights.
EIP’s trademark and design attorneys remain able to file and prosecute European trademark and design applications for our clients, and this will still be the case Post-Brexit as EIP will continue to have a presence in the European Union through our German office. We will therefore continue to be able to advise and act on your European trademark and design strategies as we do today.
Please feel free to contact Paula Flutter, Andrew Sharples, Robert Lundie Smith, Darren Smyth or your usual EIP attorneys at any time if you have any questions or concerns whatsoever.
EIP has teamed up with Jumpstart for an evening seminar on how innovative companies can get maximum benefit from the Patent Box and R&D tax credit schemes.
This seminar will explain why companies should be looking at HMRC’s R&D tax relief programme using real life examples of what other companies have achieved. Coupled with imminent changes to the Patent Box scheme, this seminar will explain the potential both schemes have in helping businesses fund innovation.
The event takes place at EIP’s London office on Wednesday 11 May from 5.30pm – 9pm.
A consultation has been announced by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) seeking the views of patent holders and interested parties on proposed changes to the UK Patent Box scheme.
The Patent Box is an initiative designed to make the UK tax regime competitive for innovative high-tech companies by offering a reduced rate of corporation tax on profits attributed to patented innovations. Since the Patent Box began in April 2013, 639 companies have benefited from these reduced tax rates.
The changes have been proposed in order to comply with a new international framework for preferential tax regimes for IP, developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which is intended to harmonise the various preferential tax regimes that operate within the G20 member countries.
As the HMRC consultation document explains "The central point is that for a business to gain the benefit of a preferential regime, it should have conducted the substantial activities which generated the income benefiting from that regime." The proposed changes therefore include a requirement that links the benefits under the Patent Box to R&D expenditure incurred in the development of the IP. This is known as the nexus approach.
The joint HM Treasury and HMRC consultation will affect UK businesses which hold and exploit patents, as well as those business looking to invest in IP for the first time. The consultation sets out the government’s preferred approach, within the new international framework and seeks views on how the UK can form a set of rules for the Patent Box.
The consultation document can be viewed here. Responses to the consultation should be submitted to the HMRC by 4 December 2015.
EIP hosted a roundtable debate on innovation and intellectual property with manufacturing, technology and software companies at its office in Cardiff.
Some of South Wales’ most innovative companies discussed how they identify, nurture and protect innovation and use their IP to create competitive advantage.
EIP Partner Neil Condon was joined by representatives from the Welsh Government, Ultrawave, TrakCel, Nudjed, Axiom Manufacturing Services, SPTS Technologies, Markes International, the ESTnet, Excelerate and Eurobond Laminates.
