You don’t have to identify as LGBTQIA to be a part of positive social change. You can be a straight ally. The road to successful ally-dom is fraught with well-intentioned missteps, and this is far from a one-list-fits-all situation, but what can I say, it’s a start. Lesson #1? Being a good listener is the key to being a good ally. So I turned to some friends and activists for some advice about supporting the movement for gay rights.

Are you hunkered down at home today, hiding out until Friday the 13th passes? You are not alone in suffering from paraskevidekatriaphobia. The number 13 has been considered an omen of bad luck for ages. One explanation is that 12 has historically represented the number of completeness; examples include the 12 months of the year, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 hours of the clock, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 Apostles of Jesus, and 12 Imams of Muhammad. Thirteen, on the other hand, is seen as an outlier. However, I will happily take a specially priced Baker's Dozen of pastries on...

Names are fab - especially in Kindergarten right? I love watching my kiddos learn to write and read their names and even friends names. There are so many great literacy activities that can be used with names. Check out some of these fun Pinterest finds! One great resource is Jessica Meacham's website. She has some great resources for using names in the classroom. Source: jmeacham.com via Arianne on Pinterest Have you seen this pin? What an easy center to put together - but at the same time is meaningful and has a purpose. Source: rainbowswithinreach.blogspot.com via The Mad on Pinterest Do you have a names chart in your classroom? Kids will read, read, read all day long. They need practice with familiar words to build confidence as a reader. So easy! Source: aplacecalledkindergarten.blogspot.com via Crystal on Pinterest Another favorite? From Mrs.Albanese's Class. She has a picture of this great chart - that utilizes many different activities to practice one child's name at a time. Source: mrsalbanesesclass.blogspot.com via Arianne on Pinterest I love this chart. We've done these activities before - but all just orally. I'm really trying to use as much print as possible this year to help my kiddos understand concepts of print and become better readers overall. Of course I needed to make this immediately! This is my version - just with picture cues! We completed our first name today - and I was so happy with the kiddos response! I even had one student read the -ake word chunk from Jake's name (no prompting)! Awesome. Want to play the name game in your room? Have at it - I promise it is a worthwhile activity!
