Meaning of a Name
Names don’t mean anything. Sure, there may be some history behind a certain name and you might find out what your name “means” but for the most part, your parents didn’t pick your name based on its meaning. They picked it based on its sound, how it fit with your last name and the others…

Teaching Tip Tuesdays – Visual Schedules
I’ve decided to switch things up in the classroom for this brand new decade. I hit the ground running with these changes yesterday for the first day back to school.

The Not-So Futuristic Future
I don’t know why but I really didn’t think I’d still be alive at this point. Perhaps I thought I’d be a famous artist of some sort whose life had been tragically cut short. I had some dark thoughts as a teenager (but who doesn’t?) I thought I knew everything back then. I’m sure glad…

An Avid Reader Set to Go Digital
I never thought that I would actually consider reading books electronically but I must say, that I think I am sold on this device. It’s the Sony Reader. It apparently doesn’t hurt your eyes. It’s not backlit like a computer and is as easy on the eyes as a paper bound book. Of course, not…
