Travel to NOLA - February 2024 - Krewe Of Zulu Early in 1909, a group of laborers in a club named ?The Tramps? went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy that included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me' about the Zulu Tribe. According to legend, after seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. The rest, as they say, is history. Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians, however, seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that. Conversations and interviews with older members indicate that, back in the day, the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or ?Club.? The Tramps were one such group. The group that founded Zulu was probably made up of both members from the Tramps and other ward-based groups and members of a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community. For a small amount of dues, members received financial help when they got sick or there was a funeral to pay for. While the men marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King. The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story in the early days were similarly attired. The year 1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today. Today Zulu is famous for their coconut throw ? quite possibly the most coveted throw in all of Mardi Gras. Zulu?s honor guard is called the Soulful Warriors; and they have characters including Big Shot, Witch Doctor, Ambassador, Mayor, Province Prince, Governor and Mr. Big Stuff. The most famous Krewe of Zulu king was Louis Armstrong who reigned in 1949. Year founded: 1909 Membership: 1500 male riders Signature throw: hand decorated coconuts

BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARD WINNER • An enlightening guide to how infants and toddlers learn and why play is the key to enhancing your child’s development. “A smashingly good book.”—Edward Zigler, Ph.D., director, Yale’s Center in Child Development and Social Policy, and the “father” of Head Start programs In Einstein Never Used Flash Cards, highly credentialed child psychologists, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Ph.D., and Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D., with Diane Eyer, Ph.D., offer a compelling indictment of the growing trend toward accelerated learning and the cult of achievement that pressures parents to help their children to get ahead. It’s a message that stressed-out parents are craving to hear: Letting tots learn through unstructured play is not only okay—it’s a better way for children to learn than drilling academics. Drawing on overwhelming scientific evidence from their own studies and the collective research results of child development experts, Kathy, Roberta, and Diane explain the process of learning from a child’s point of view, addressing how play helps boost learning in key areas of development such as math, reading, verbal communication, science, self-awareness, and social skills. To help parents foster creative play, they offer forty age-appropriate games. These simple, fun—yet powerful—exercises work as well or better than expensive enrichment programs and high-tech educational toys to teach children what their ever-active, curious minds are excited to learn. Packed with insights from fascinating studies and thoughtful advice, Einstein Never Used Flash Cards reassures and empowers parents with knowledge that helps their children grow and thrive.

Are your students learning about the salmon life cycle? Are you planning a trip to a fish hatchery? This engaging project allows students to research the life cycle of a salmon, take notes, write a report and complete the salmon craft. This project integrates your science unit on Ecology, beginning research, and informational writing. Students are able to work in groups to study each stage of the salmon life cycle, work independently, or in writing centers. Students are guided through their research by the images of the egg, alevin, fry, parr, smolt, salmon, and spawning salmon. The finished project can be fanned out in a circular shape to show the never-ending life cycle of salmon. This Salmon project includes: a list of recommended resources for teachers salmon life cycle word wall cards salmon life cycle graphic organizer for students to label graphic organizers for taking notes publishing pages in the fan format complete answer keys Process: Students use the provided note-taking sheets to research the salmon's life cycle. They then transfer the notes onto the fans. The note taking sheets are filled with writing prompts to help students write, and the publishing pages match the prewriting sheets exactly, make the publishing process simple! This project is ideal for: practicing note-taking introducing research for center work fast finishers independent projects group work as a supplement to your science unit on ecology as learning before a fish hatchery visit See what teachers are saying! ❤️ "I have used this year after year with my students in Washington State with our Salmon Unit. It is such an engaging activity for students with lots of learning involved. We LOVE it!" Stephani Ann ❤️ "The Salmon life cycle is a huge part of our ecology study.
