                                               Breakfast  is the most important meal of the day.  Breakfast      jump starts our  metabolism from an over night fast and it replenishes  our glucose supply.  It helps those of us who need to loose a few pounds or have diabetes.  When we skip breakfast  we're really putting our body into starvation  mode.  We live in a society where you wouldn't think of children  going to school hungry. We have grants and programs where breakfast is served to thousands of children each day.  Yet, we still have children going without breakfast which effects a there

Does the countries Goverment Shutdown affect Teacher?

Something I always say is, “I take my hat off to all Teachers. Now, I‘ve changed it to just Teachers and that’s because not all teachers should be teachers and that’s just my opinion. Teaching is a full time job. Teachers arrive at school around 7:30 a.m. and some before and go home after 3:00 p.m.  Teaching goes home with them in the evenings, week-ends and on holidays.  Teachers are like seragate parents for the children they teach. Yet, are they compensated enough for the job they do? I don’t think it should be about the dollars nor the time off in the summer as I’ve heard some say.  It should be about the impact they (you) would hope to make on many children’s lives.  Who would have thought that our country’s goverment shutdown would affect teachers around the nation?  Well, it does.  Educators who teach for example, on military bases around the world.  It may even affect the plans teachers have for making a lesson come alive. Ex. a visit to a museum or national park.  Go to the aid of a teacher next week.  Maybe you can share your career with a class.

Time management is an important factor for educators. Lessons plans, teaching materials, supplies, prep. work for activities and the list goes on.  Teacher’s time includes giving attention to the students and their needs, while using all the latest technology and trends. The purpose of this class is preparing future teachers for the trend.   Now, I was really looking for a unique idea on Pinterest for another class when I came upon this website that just might be of some help when you my fellow colleagues are having a crazy week, a brain freeze is approaching and you can’t reach your mentor to complete your lesson plan for the week. The top ten (10) websites every teacher should know about at the Elementary Level are pinned below.  I did check them all but I did check a few have fun and I hope they will spark ideas, creativity and help you manage your time when you become a teacher.
