Sunday, August 2, 2015. Travels Within, Travels Without. This year I ventured to the beautiful country of Italy. I went with a friend and we explored from Lake Como to Verona, Venezia, Pisa, Firenze, Assisi, and Rome. I could not have packed more into the trip if I had stayed there for 3 weeks on my own.

Help From Debbie: What I have learned this week
http://helpfromdebbie.blogspot.com/2013/08/what-i-have-learned-this-week.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. What I have learned this week. It has been a tough week. Ziggy, my 3 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix had an accident. It was my fault. Ziggy is an energetic personality. He loves to be outside or go for car rides. He is happy, protective of his family, and adventurous. The gate was locked so I climbed the fence and picked up my baby to check for broken bones. All seemed fine until I saw his right eye. It makes me think about the students in my class. We put them int...

Help From Debbie: What's Your Purpose?
http://helpfromdebbie.blogspot.com/2015/06/whats-your-purpose.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Recently I had the opportunity to attend a workshop that helped me define my purpose in life. I found this a valuable exercise. There are so many people who are wandering around day to day, moment to moment without a true purpose. This gives me pause. Are we doomed to randomly live our lives like two atoms floating in space until we bump into each other in order to fulfill our true potential? What is my purpose? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, August 12, 2013. Should School be FUN? Did you enjoy school when you were an elementary student? Did you have wonderful experiences that helped you connect what you are learning to the world around you? Were your favorite subjects recess, PE and lunch? Did you look forward to going to school every day because you knew there was something interesting waiting for you? Laughter should be part of every day at school. Lessons should delight the student. If this is missing from your children's educatio...

Help From Debbie: Helping your Child cope when a Best Friend Moves Away
http://helpfromdebbie.blogspot.com/2012/01/helping-your-child-cope-when-best.html
Sunday, January 15, 2012. Helping your Child cope when a Best Friend Moves Away. For the last 18 years, I have been a teacher at New Gate School. NGS is a private school so over the years I have seen many families move on to other places, other schools, other adventures. It is challenging for everyone. Here are a few tips for dealing with this type of transition. Know that your child may grieve. Grieving is messy and can look different for different children. Acknowledge your child's feelings, ec...Set u...

Help From Debbie: Cursive Handwriting
http://helpfromdebbie.blogspot.com/2013/07/cursive-handwriting.html
Wednesday, July 17, 2013. From what I understand, many school districts are no longer teaching cursive handwriting. I find the sad, and frankly a mistake on the part of school boards who continue to add curriculum that can be tested to the school day. (But that is another story.). Learning to write in cursive, is so much more than having good handwriting. Here are a few example:. Cursive can improve reading skills. It practices seeing words from left to right. Cursive letters are connected to for...Cursi...

We will cover the following points with the students:. Students will create ads for a Thneed, the product the Once-ler creates from the Truffula Trees. 2 CAUSE AND EFFECT. We will...
