The good news is - everything is fine and we all got to enjoy the shower. The shower theme was...

Teaching Contractions

2012-02-19T19:10:00.000-08:00

I've recently noticed my first and second grade students getting hung up on contractions when reading and came up with a fun way for us to review. Kids love anything colorful that they can manipulate. I included a column for students to record which letters were "squished out" when we combined the words. We discuss how the apostrophe...

Need a Job? How to Interview Like a Pro Giveaway

2012-02-19T19:00:00.000-08:00

It seems we all know someone who is out of work these days. I have several friends who were laid off from jobs they'd had for years. Some were lucky to find new jobs, even if they were only part-time or far beneath their previous salary. But, others are still job hunting. With more people out of work, the competition for each job opening is stiff. Experts say you need to set...

How's your Vision? Zeiss Educational Tools can Help

2012-02-19T18:55:00.000-08:00

My husband and I both wear glasses, but I must be honest with you. I've not had good luck with my glasses, prescription or non-prescription. Unlike my husband, who wore glasses since he was young, I had 20/20 vision until I was in my 30's. I started to notice that fine print was becoming more difficult to read. I picked up a pair of over the counter "readers," which only helped for a short...

Black Pepper Beef with Green Beans

2012-02-12T20:27:00.000-08:00

This is a great dish for weeknights since it goes together quickly. The original recipe called for 2 Tablespoons of black pepper, but if you're making it for children you might want to reduce that to 1 or 1 1/2 Tablespoons... I thought 2 Tbl. was a bit too spicy. The beef is cooked quickly which keeps it very tender. Enjoy! 1 pound green beans, ends snapped off and strings removed 3/4...
