For me, this is one of the hardest topics to memorize because of the illustration of different types of tissues present in a living organism. I am confused with their structure and their functions in our body. In order for you to understand what I am talking about, I’ll show and introduce to you the tissues present in a human body. By the way, HISTOLOGY is the study of tissues. And TISSUES are collection of similar cells and the substances surrounding the cells. There are four types of tissues: Epithelial tissue protects underlying structures acting as barriers permitting the passage of substances secrete substances a. Simple squamous b. Simple cuboidal c. Simple epithelium d. Pseudostratified columnar e. Stratified squamous f. Stratified cuboidal g. Stratified columnar h. Transitional CLICK the link below to increase your knowledge about tissues. http://www.wisc-online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=AP1402 I am now than with Epithelial Tissue, our next topic will be about GLANDS. Glands is a secretory structure. Endocrine glands- do not have ducts Exocrine glands- they have ducts Here is a discussion about endocrine and exocrine glands,a video that will give you the big differences of the two. Connective tissue is easier to identify rather than epithelium tissue because most of the tissues has different structures. Connective tissue form a layer to separate tissues and organs connect tissues to one another. they store minerals transporting protecting a. Dense Regular Collagenous b. Dense Regular Elastic c. Dense Irregular Collagenous d. Dense Irregular Elastic e. Adipose Tissue f. Reticular Tissue g. Hyaline Cartilage h. Fibrocartilage i. Elastic cartilage j. Connective tissue: bone k. Connective tissue: blood l. Skeletal muscle m. Cardiac muscle n. Smooth muscle o.Neurons and Neuroglia Here is a link where you can see the pictures of the different tissues. http://www.wisc-online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=AP14504 End of Chapter 4

In my last Bacon Podcast Interview, episode 469, I had the pleasure to interview Jane Atkinson. Now, Jane is a speaking coach, and a very successful one at that. If you haven't listened to it, I strongly suggest you do so, whether you plan to speak or not. In the middle of the interview, we

Getting time off over the holidays is great for many reasons. Sleeping in. Spending time with family. And getting away from these guys.

This week, every teacher is teaching Habit 1: Be Proactive. We have so many great things going on. Below are a few things that kindergarten is doing to help our kids learn what it means to be proactive. I will be posting pictures of what our first grade teachers are doing later. They are on my phone and I can't get them uploaded yet. I will edit and add them later tonight or tomorrow. I hope to post later in the week from other grades and give more freebies away for Habit 1. This is all new to us so if any of you have any suggestions, please comment!!!!! Our 3rd grade team is working on a podcast that will be posted soon (THANK YOU 3RD GRADE!) click on each picture to download yours for FREE!!!!!! The first 2 things were sent to me by a teacher friend from Whitesville Elementary, Jessica Doughty. Thank you Jessica! There is a second page with this if you download with pictures that kids cut out and glue on the inside or outside of the circle of control Kindergarten has a CD with this poem as a song. I'm not sure where we got it. I'll look tomorrow when I get to school and see if I can let you know. But you could still recite it or have it posted. We are going to use it to teach the "Can Do" attitude to our kids. We are going to make playdough with our kids to use in reading and math centers. This activity will be whole group and we will do it together. However you have to use very hot water so the teacher must actually do the mixing while talking to the kids about the process. We are using this as Habit 1 because we will talk about being proactive while using playdough in centers. In order to make it last all year, we much be sure to BE PROACTIVE and put the top on the playdough each time or it will dry out. This is taking responsibility for themselves when they clean up their center.

Conflicts happen on even the most well managed projects. Here is when to watch out for them happening during a project and what to do.
