The Reason for the Season
While not all of us are able or allowed to talk of the TRUE meaning of Christmas in the classroom, it's important that we never forget it.
Jesus is the reason for the season. But, with all of the commercialism in today's Christmas world, the real meaning of Christmas is sometimes lost.
For those who are looking for some simple resources to help teach this message, I am including a few links below!
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

JFK: Learning about a Legacy
50 years ago this week, the country lost a President. John F. Kennedy is only one of four presidents in U.S. History to be assassinated, with Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley being the others.
For those who are thinking about including this important historical event into their upcoming lessons, I am including a few links below. Most of these resources are for middle elementary and higher. If you know of any for the younger grades, feel free to share.
Thanks!

Digital Citizenship
"Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately."
This a VERY important topic to instill in children in today's society. It's important that they are aware of the proper ways to interact online. When I taught elementary computers, we would revisit this and Internet Safety a few times a year. I always told my students that just because you're "hiding" behind a computer screen doesn't mean that the rules of safety, courtesy, and anti-bullying don't apply.
I am including the links below to many resources to help teach this concept to students. It's never too early to teach them how to be safe online.

Don't Be A Bully!
I hate bullying! I hate all kinds of bullying! I do not like the fact that this issue is increasingly becoming more and more of a serious problem in our society. I worry for my own kids as well as all kids that I know and love.
Bullying is mean, hurtful, dangerous, unnecessary, demeaning, cowardly, and just plain DUMB! I have already begun to instill into my own kids that bullying will not be tolerated. Whether they are bullied themselves or they become a bully, I will not tolerate it!
Bullying has had some serious repercussions in recent times. Some kids even go as far as taking their own lives because of being bullied so severely. It's time to make this epidemic STOP!
It's gone too far and we all need to work together to educate everyone about why bullying is not okay, how to stop it, what to do if it happens, and how to recover from it.
Just because bullying is mostly seen in a school setting, does not mean that it does not exist in the adult world as well.
ALL BULLYING is NEVER OKAY! Let's take a stand.
Below are many resources for educating people of all ages on this disturbing trend.

Stop, Drop, and Roll: Fire Safety!
October wears a lot of hats: Halloween, Columbus Day, Anti Bullying Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, etc.
It is also Fire Safety Month!
This is a topic that is not just important within a school setting, but it is also important in the home. I am including many links below that will help children understand what to do in order to be safe during a fire.
Be sure to have an escape plan and help children understand it. BE SAFE!

9/11/01: We Will Never Forget...
It's hard to believe that tomorrow will mark 12 years since that most fateful day in America. It truly feels like it was yesterday, as I can remember every detail of that day. Though I did not personally lose anyone in that tragedy, it was still a heartbreaking event.
God Bless America and all of those who were affected!
For many of us, we either have young children and/or work with young children daily. These children may not realize the impact that fateful day had on our country. It's important to let them know about the day in the most calm manner that we can. The idea is to inform them of the history, not scare them. Some of the videos and images they may see on TV tomorrow could seem scary. However, if they know the background behind those images, hopefully we can help to reduce the scariness of the situation.
Whether discussing this in the classroom or at home, I am including many resources to help students and children understand and remember 9/11/01.
We Will Never Forget!!
