Love him or hate him, we need to look at Donald Trump’s policy record.
With the Election drawing near there are many Irish people asking themselves these questions, who should I vote for in this election and why should I vote? We need a government that we can trust.
So, this week I was standing around scratching my head thinking, "Golly, what on earth am I going to do for literacy centers next week?" And, of course I'm thinking this as I'm surrounded by PILES of stuff I've accumulated but never seem to use. So, I got to thinking: Why don't I use all of my extra stuff to make reading centers? Two birds, one stone, right? I can't say that what I came up with is too terribly brilliant, but I thought I'd share a couple of activities anyways just in case you're knee-high in extra supplies too!!!!! Unifix Cube Compound Word Building Here's how it works: Program unifix cubes with compound words. Write each smaller word in the compound word on a different color of unifix cube. Then, put the cubes for each compound word into a baggie. Whenever you use the center, kiddos just come and grab a baggie of cubes and build a compound word. By having each smaller word in the compound written on a different color of cube, kiddos can figure out the compound word without being overwhelmed. It also helps them break the compound word down into its two components. Here are some example words written on the cubes. Finally, you can have your kiddos write the words they build on this recording sheet in a word sentence. I'll be doing compound words with my higher kids. For my lower kiddos, I'll just throw a bunch of letter cubes for a certain sight word into a baggie, and they'll have to unscramble the letters in the baggie to build a sight word. Then, they'll have to write the sight word on a recording sheet and use it in a sentence. Pattern Block Vocabulary This center is SUPER SIMPLE. And, who doesn't need a little bit of simplicity in their life? So, to make it just get some pattern block picture templates (I got mine from my FABULOUS and LOVELY co-teacher Mrs. Enge). Then, write vocabulary words or sight words you want kiddos to practice on each shape blank. This center is designed as a game to be played in pairs. To play, students grab a pattern board and a tub of pattern blocks. Then, they take turns trying to cover up all of the spaces on their pattern picture with blocks. To cover a space, a student has to say the word on the space AND use it in a sentence correctly. If they can do those two things, they can cover the space. The first kiddo to cover their entire picture wins. Oh, and did I mention how excited I am that it is THE WEEKEND?!?!?!? WHOOOOO! Can you say Pajama, Bible and Star Trek marathon? FAB-U-LOUS. I am so excited. Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!! Mrs. Thiessen
An outspoken bigoted, xenophobic, misogynist fascist who lost the popular vote by two million and counting will never be my President. Period. I will never accept the legitimacy of Trump’s Presidency. Nor should any of us. This is not about sore...

To my co-laborers in the pro-life generation, No presidential election in recent memory has presented two candidates who were more disliked, even by their own parties. Indeed, not only active party members, but also a significant majority of ordinary, grassroots Americans – especially millennials – really don’t like Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. The fact […]
New Matilda columnist Michael Brull, who has volunteered with the Greens during the current election campaign, makes the case. Crikey columnist Helen Razer recently wrote two columns about why she won’t vote for the Greens. I think both articles are dreadful. I think she should, and so should any other leftist. Though her mind mayMore
