Early finisher ideas to keep your speedy students happily busy (and doing meaningful work too)!
by Emilia A. Ottoo (Author) Embark on a transformative journey with Emma Lee M.C. as she weaves a narrative rich in challenges, triumphs, intelligent analysis, and profound introspection. Set against the striking backdrops of Uganda and Harlem, New York City, Emilia's tale unfolds as one of unyielding tenacity. From her early days as a high school dropout to standing proud as a college graduate, her path is filled with unexpected turns. The vibrant world of musical theater embraces her, leading to tours with a Grammy- and Oscar-nominated troupe. In contact sports and male-dominated arenas, she emerges victorious, adding layers of depth to her already compelling story. Emilia's life is further enriched by her collaborations in the realms of creative arts, activism, and entrepreneurship. With encounters with Hip-Hop icons such as DMX, Tupac Shakur, and Nipsey Hussle, her memoir not only celebrates her personal strength but also underscores the urgency of the societal conversations we must prioritize. Through her words, Emma Lee M.C. champions the values of mental health, suicide prevention, and the continuous quest for meaningful social change. Number of Pages: 336 Dimensions: 0.88 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN

Each week I have certain things I want to accomplish each day. I can’t say it enough, but my previously mile long lists have become much shorter and more realistic since I’ve become a mom.

Since I like to have one list for the whole week and I have quite a few things that happen on the same day each week, it’s easy to just be able to copy and paste this into the current week.
