LAW OF THE WILD

2011-09-23T16:24:00.000-07:00

The Law Of The Wild says kill only when you are hungry!
Photographer Michel Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in

Kenya 's Masai Mara in October last year, said he was astounded by what he saw:"These three brothers (cheetahs) have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,' he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together. 'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away.. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily'."
These extraordinary scenes followed.

and then they just walked away without hurting him..........

May your day be filled with blessings!

Life is short... forgive quickly, love truly, laugh often.

PUPPY LOVE...

2011-09-02T14:52:00.000-07:00

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell.
He painted a sign advertising the four pups and
set about nailing it to a post on the edge of
his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the
post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked
down into the eyes of a little boy.

"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your
puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat
off the back of his neck, "These puppies come
from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment.. Then
reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a
handful of change and held it up to the farmer.

"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take
a look?"

"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out
a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called.

Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran
Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.

The little boy pressed his face against the chain
link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the
dogs made their way to the fence,  the little boy
noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably
smaller. Down the ramp it slid.. Then in a somewhat
awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward
the others, doing its best to catch up...

"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the
runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said,
"Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able
to run and play with you like these other dogs would."

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence,
reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his
trousers.

In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down
both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made
shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir,
I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone
who understands."

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and
picked up the little pup.

Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

"How much?" asked the little boy... "No charge,"
answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."

The world is full of people who need someone who
understands.

Missing School Yet?

2011-05-21T16:04:00.000-07:00

Hello Critters!
I know, you are desperately bored and have no idea how you will get through
another week without school. I understand: I miss you too!
Keep your chin up and hope to see you soon.

Lastly, #5

2011-04-27T18:01:00.001-07:00

5.   An eye witness account from New York
City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the
roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.

   A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes, 'was the boy's reply.

   The lady took him by the hand, went into
the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water
and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed
his little feet , and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with
the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him
a pair of shoes..

      She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No
doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'

   As she turned to go, the astonished kid
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears
in his eyes, asked her.
'Are you God's wife?'

4. Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot
in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott .

Jamie was trying out for a part in the
school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being
in it, though she feared he would not be chosen..

On the day the parts were awarded, I went
with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and excitement.. 'Guess what, Mom,' he
shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to
me....'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
*********************************************

Number Three...

2011-04-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

3. On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a
park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-
base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was
'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered
With a smile.
'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'
'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face...
'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't
Been up to bat yet.'
*********************** **********************

SECOND UP...

2011-04-24T13:59:00.001-07:00

2. Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture
had a different hair color than the other members. One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted..'

'What does it mean to be adopted?',

asked another child.

'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'

THE MOST CARING CHILD...

2011-04-22T15:11:00.000-07:00

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child........
The winner was:
1. A four-year-old child, whose next door
neighbour was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the

neighbour, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just
helped him cry.'

2011-04-07T21:18:00.000-07:00

Soooo...
My critters...
Tomorrow will be the last day for your
PowerPoint Presentations and Handouts
so that we can busy ourselves over the
next two weeks completing this science
unit.
Awesome, huh?
Now for the funnies...

Humor: Professional Test
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional". Scroll down for the answers after you have thought about it. The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator ?

Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference, all the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions, correctly you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the animal meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

SUNNY WEDNESDAY

2011-03-23T16:54:00.000-07:00

Hello My Dear Critters!

What an awesome day smack in the middle of the week!
It appears that you have no homework this day other than
your Novel Study. Are you all caught up to the end of
Chapter 3?

To end this blog, here is a Quickie:

A teacher was recording students' passwords for future
reference when she came across Dixie's which read,
MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofy
The teacher questioned Dixie inquiring as to why such
a long password.
Dixie explained that it had to be at least 8 characters long.

A FUNNY TO FINISH THE DAY!

2011-03-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

Hello My Dears,

Here is a quick funny to end your day:

I was waiting in the restaurant for my friends when
I suddenly realized I desperately needed to pass gas.
The music was really, really loud, so I timed my gas
with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, I started to feel better.
I finished my pop and noticed that everybody was
staring at me....

Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to
my iPod.

:)

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????

2011-03-17T18:44:00.000-07:00

We went on holidays and holy moly! I forgot all about our blog.

Those of you with outstanding assignments NEED to hand them in;
this is greatly reflected in your marks on your report cards...

A funny to begin/end the day:
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of an elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The teacher made a note, and posted it on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, and left it on the cookie tray:
"Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

Have an AWESOME weekend and see you TUESDAY (without a cast ::)

HELLO CRITTERS!

2011-01-04T14:58:00.000-08:00

What's your niche?

2010-10-30T15:51:00.000-07:00

Do you have something you can share with our class? Perhaps a story,
a talent, a craft, an expertise in something?

We are looking forward to having all of our students' family member(s)
join our class a couple of times throughout the year to spend time with
us and get to know us better. We appreciate any time you can spare.
Please think about this and let us know during interviews if there is a
specific time and/or date you wish to visit. Grandma's and Grandpa's
are always welcome!

Cheers!

"Marvels Then and Now."

2010-10-20T17:37:00.000-07:00

Dear Parent or Guardian!

Our class is beginning a Language Arts unit called "Marvels Then and Now." We will be reading a variety of selections about wonders from ancient and modern times.

We will also be talking about discoveries such as Egyptian mummies and a Stone Age man found preserved in ice, and investigating the work of scientists who study the finds.

Here are some things you can do to help support your child's learning in this unit:

          Watch TV shows about ancient and natural wonders, and talk about them with your child.

          Plan a family trip to a park or other site that preserves the wonder of nature.

          Look through newspapers and magazines for accounts of recently discovered marvels.

          Ask your child about classroom experiences related to this unit.

Good Day Darlings!
Just a reminder...
You need to bring a jar and picture to use as a template for
our decorative, oil-painted jar. A picture that is not too
detailed will be perfect (and of course, as long as it is not
too big to fit the jar :) lol...
Also, we will be completing more Science Experiments
on Friday, so be there or be square!
Have an awesome week!
Cheers!
