MSGL Summer Camp is open to Preschoolers through 1st Graders who are currently enrolled or recent alumni and while it is a really great time for all of those kids who have been here before, it is especially helpful for children new to MSGL and for the toddlers who are graduating to preschool. For these children, Summer Camp is the perfect way to ease into the routines of preschool and to set the stage for a successful start in August.
The absolute best part of being a Montessori directress - or ANY teacher, anywhere, I imagine - is watching the children develop and grow. We spend time with your children each day, observing and guiding them, and we get to see them just as they are in that moment. And what they are, as Grace Harvey says, is "totes amazeballs" (totally amazing). They grow in strength, wisdom, and courage right before our very eyes.
Today I will just speak to their courage because courage is the thing that gets your child through his or her day without you. In more stuffy circles it might be called confidence, but when you are only 28 inches tall and mom or dad just drove out of the parking lot, you've got to be brave to pull yourself together, to turn to face that great big green space filled with people you don't know and sally forth through the rest of your morning.
Maya Angelou said, "Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistenly without courage." During last week's Summer Camp, there were many examples of children developing their courage and I will share a few.
During Friday's Bike Day, a 4-year-old friend who enthusiastically embraces everything at school stopped his bike right at my toes, looked out at the cars going by on Sagamore Parkway, and said, "I miss my dad and my mom. And my little brother. And our dog. And they are missing me, too." I listened and commiserated and soon he took off speeding around the course. His courage waned for only a moment then he got back on his bike.
The 5-year-olds are totally courageous (one might even say fearless) out on the bike course and they consider their turn during Bike Day to be a race even though there is no starting line and no trophies. As they put on their helmets, their talk is all about who will win. When D missed his turn to ride with his fellow 4-year-olds, he got to ride with the 5's (a truly courageous decision) alonside his big brother. After the race, D was a little upset that he didn't "win." His big brother reassured him, "No, you DID win, D! Did you see all those people going by you? That's because you won!" (Just a note: We have a lot of siblings at camp this year and even though we know sibling rivalry is a real thing, you couldn't tell by watching these brothers and sisters interact at school. Whether it's inviting a little sister to play or feeding a little brother apples during snack, your children take good care of each other when they are away from mom and dad.)
The exploding paint activity required all different types of bravery, especially from the teachers. For this activity, the children put a scoop of baking soda and some colored vinegar in a plastic baggie, sealed it and shook it up before throwing it on the ground to watch it explode. If there was no explosion the child could take a pin-puncher and pop the bag. Loud noises, spraying liquids - it's not an experiment for the timid.
Courage hung thick in the air under the willow tree on Friday as children experimented with the log seesaw. Little ones who started out holding our hands as they walked the length of the log until it dropped to the ground were able to do it by themselves after seven or eight attempts. One group of brave 5 and 6-year-old girls inspired their younger sisters and friends to walk the seesaw and soon there there were eight girls waiting in line for a turn. These are some of the same girls who regularly show others how to draw pictures of princesses and fairies in the classroom. For me, this experience was a reminder that when we worry that a child is "only drawing" or "only playing" it's time to take a break and get a cup of coffee while the children follow their interests.
Maria Montessori observed that by using their senses and their big, beautiful brains, children can naturally learn everything they need to about their world. All they need is a caring community of adults to prepare an environment where that learning can occur. She described it this way, "The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences."
MSGL provides such an environment in our classrooms and on our beautiful campus that has been created by you and other parents like you. When you bring your child to Summer Camp next week or to Preschool this fall, you are allowing her to bravely conduct her own experiences apart from you. And that requires real courage from both of you.
See you soon!
Seen outside Globe Willow class: "I wish this was a boring school and it was longer so I can finish my work."
What did your child do at preschool today? You can try asking, but often they will say they did nothing or they "played." The most common question I receive from parents is, "How can I know he is doing anything at school? He never tells me anything and his cubby has been empty for days."
Please believe me, your child is doing something. A lot of stuff, actually. But he may not remember "doing" anything at all that day. And his accomplishments often cannot be held in the hand or seen with the eye at pick-up time. If he could tell you, it might sound like this:
I concentrated today!
When someone asked to play with me, I said yes.
I looked at the caterpillars in the jar - for a very long time. Then my teacher read me a book about butterflies. Twice. Because I asked.
I sat next to a friend who was labeling the lifecycle of the frog. I handed her the labels and helped her match them. I got her a paper towel when her fingers were gluey.
When everyone was talking about bees I told them, "Bumblebees don't sting. Only honey bees sting. Bumblebees just bumble." Everyone agreed with me.
I looked at a real chicken egg and a real duck egg. I said the duck egg was bigger.
I used the very heavy tortilla press to make playdough tortillas. My friends helped and we laughed. None of us pinched our fingers.
I compromised about sitting in the comfy chair.
I served myself a snack, ate it politely alongside my friends, and cleaned up after myself.
I felt sad - just for a little bit - because I missed my mom.
I noticed that the lizard's food bowl was empty and cut some lettuce for him.
I waited for a turn on the orange bike.
I heard that a friend is going to Korea for the summer and I gave him a hug to say goodbye.
A preschooler's greatest and most important work often doesn't have any external product to show for it. Having and being a friend, acting out of kindness, demonstrating patience and self-control, taking care of oneself, feeling satisfied with a job well done - these things are all internalized. The children in our classrooms build their character and their understanding of the world every day, but they can't always verbalize it. They are doing so much challenging work! But they do not yet see their actions and successes as separate from themselves.
After a sunflower seed sprouts in the garden we might notice as the stem grows taller, but we cannot see the acts of photosynthesis and respiration and transpiration that take place every single day. The sunflower plant continues to do its work converting sunlight to sugars and sugars to fuel - the internal work of living - whether we take notice or not. Then, one day it blooms and we look at it and say, "Finally!"
Maria Montessori believed that the child reveals himself through his work, not through his outwardly visible successes and accomplishments. Every experience he has is internalized and becomes a part of his very being. She put it this way, "The things he sees are not just remembered; they form a part of his soul."
Stories from their day and recorded work, like the blooms of a sunflower, are parts of the child we can see and they might be pleasing to us, but they are only the product of a monumental amount of internal work. So please don't worry when your child says she did nothing all day. Nothing to grown-ups can be everything in the life of a child.
Lots of peace, lots of love ~ Heather

What is Montessori?
Rather than explaining what Montessori is, I am offering an excerpt from an article that does a beautiful job of describing what Montessorians do. Maria Montessori's Decalogue is a set of 10 rules for adults working in a Montessori classroom. It is relevant to parents, grandparents, and caregivers of all types who strive to relate to children peacefully and respectfully in any environment.
I hope you will enjoy this expanded version of the Montessori Decalogue as written by The Mammolina Children's Home Montessori Kindergarten in Beijing, China.
The Montessori Decalogue
1. Never touch the child unless invited by him (in some way or another).
Unless there is a very strong reason to (like avoiding an accident, for example), one should never touch a child unless a child requests it. Picking up a child without the child's consent, even if in a playful manner, or grabbing her hand, pushing her, etc., should always be avoided. If children are engaged, looking at a book, working, playing, resting, the same principle applies. Children invite contact in many ways, and parents and adults in general, who work with children, know how to interpret the signs they send. It is important also to respect a child when she is angry and does not want to be touched or picked up.
2. Never speak ill of the child in his presence or absence.
Speaking ill of a child, or making negative comments about a child, either in the child's presence or absence, denotes lack of respect for the child. It also sets a frame of mind and denotes an attitude that is negative and conducive to confrontation—and not always open! Preconceived ideas often linger as negative thoughts and breed reactive behavior. If an adult falls into this trap, it is very easy for a lack of patience and negative attitudes to creep in and damage the relationship with the child.
3. Concentrate on strengthening and helping the development of what is good in the child, so that its presence may leave less and less space for what is negative.
If adults focus on negative behavior, children will feel inadequate. This will result in low self-esteem, and a self-fulfilling prophecy like behavioral patterns will take over. Negativity will become second nature. Instead, by focusing on what is positive, the child will feel safe and confident. Children are learning what is and is not acceptable behavior can and cannot be done, etc. They do not need punishments or rewards. Simply to be shown what is and is not acceptable, by adults that model appropriate behavior.
4. Be proactive in preparing the environment, take meticulous and constant care of it. Help the child establish constructive relations with it. Show the proper place where the means of development are kept and demonstrate their proper use.
If the child is presented with a prepared environment, there is little need for much more. Again, modeling appropriate behavior is essential. A child that is shown an orderly environment will likewise feel encouraged to keep it orderly. If a child has available manipulatives she can handle, play and work with, rather than things she cannot touch, she will feel at ease to explore the world around her. If objects are at reach, that the child may break or hurt herself with, she should be shown how to handle them, rather than told "don't touch!" A kitchen is a world full of wonder for a child! Cutting, cooking, stirring, pouring, etc., are all activities the child will want—and need!—to master in order to become independent. Include the child in as many activities as possible at home, from cleaning to cooking; there is enough to keep any child busy and engaged all day long.
5. Be ever ready to answer the call of the child who stands in need of you, and always listen and respond to the child who appeals to you.
There is nothing worse for a child than to feel insecure and ignored. Abandonment is a feeling no child should have to live with. "If a child asks for attention, then that child needs attention," stressed Montessorian Margaret Homfray. When people brush a child aside and say, "she just wants attention," that person is missing the point: a child only wants attention when she needs attention. Children who feel cared for and do not have to worry about being abandoned, even if for a short time, are far more likely to care for others and show concern for and trust others, than those who experience this sort of "cold shoulder" treatment. Also, "timeout" and "go to your room and stay there" approaches are also expressions of abandonment.
6. Respect the child who makes a mistake and can then or later correct it herself, but stop firmly and immediately any misuse of the environment and any action which endangers the child, its own development or that of others.
Avoid rushing to correct mistakes a child has committed. Children are learning to cope and function. They will persist and practice to their heart's content whatever skill they need to acquire, until they master it. If a child starts throwing things around and disrespecting the environment, by all means, stop her. Yet, explain why you had to stop her. Reason and listen to what the child may have to say. Maria Montessori said that "a child's first tantrums are the first ills of her soul." There is always a reason for everything. Try to bring the reason to light. Punishing, isolating the child, etc., will only feed her pain, and burry deep those reasons—she will learn to hide rather than communicate.
7. Respect the child who takes a rest or watches others working or ponders over what she herself has done or will do. Neither call her nor force her to other forms of activity.
A child that is idle is often not idle at all… Children need to be given space to find what it is they are interested in and want to do. Once they do, they pursue their interests with unrestrained passion and perseverance! A child that is observing other children or adults is also learning. If the child is resting, she is not being lazy and doing nothing just lying there—she is most probably processing information, observing, reflecting on something she did, or saw, or is planning on doing.
8. Help those who are in search of activity and cannot find it.
Be sensitive to the needs of the child including differentiating when apparent inactivity is inner activity, or in contrast, a child is simply lost. A child in search of activity and unable to find it is usually restless. If sitting or lying down, it can be noticed that she is not "engaged;" she is not resting, but simply lost and prostrated. There is a thin line that separates these two worlds. It is the adult's responsibility to observe carefully and find out the signs—often very different from child to child—that can reveal what the child is experiencing. Abandonment differs from rest and contemplation.
9. Be untiring in repeating presentations to the child who refused them earlier, in helping the child to acquire what is not yet her own and to overcome imperfections. Do this by animating the environment, with care, with purposive restraint and silence, with mild words and loving presence. Make your ready presence felt to the child who searches and hide from the child who has found.
A child may need to be shown the right way to do something, say a word, express her feelings or acquire any sort of new skill, many, many times. One should never grow tired of repeating it, such as reading the same bedtime story or singing the same jingle. Children seek perfection in all they do until they reach a level which meets their needs (not what the adult may think "perfect" is, or means.) To be always available but not intrusive is an art. When a child needs help, she will ask for it. When a skill has been acquired and the child no longer needs assistance, adults should respect the child's new acquired or reached level of independence.
10. Always treat the child with the best of good manners and offer her the best you have in yourself and at your disposal.
Children who are respected will learn to respect others. Giving the child the best one has to give helps the child learn that you are someone she can count on, and teaches her to also give others the best she has to give. It is important the way Montessori puts it, "the best you have in yourself," as if to say, always reach higher, but do not feel dismayed if you fall short, and "the best" that you can give is not the best you think or know you should give. If your best manners are not always what they should be—a common feeling parents harbor when children seem to be pushing their patience beyond the limits, do not lose heart. The way Dr. Montessori put it, is basically this: have realistic expectations towards the child, and yourself too. Give the best you have to give, but don't feel guilty if you fall short. Simply keep striving to improve and always do your best. If you commit a mistake, giving the child your best may well be recognizing it and apologizing. "Amy, Mommy got upset and shouted. That was not nice of me. I am sorry." Children also need to recognize mistakes, learn to apologize, and that parents are not always perfect.
These are basic principles. What Montessori strives for is to protect the child from all sorts of negative influences that can create deviations in the child's spirit and psyche. To preserve the natural curiosity of the child, help her find her interests, protect her passion for learning, foster it and let it grow in a healthy way. In this way, the child can contribute her best to society. This is conducive to world peace, as Dr. Montessori envisioned it, and Montessorians believe is possible. It takes passion, it takes commitment, and it takes working together.
- Excerpted from Montessori: Committed People with a Passion for Children by the Mammolina Children's Home Montessori Kindergarten in Beijing, China.
I had the great pleasure of working in my former classroom today and it reminded me of why the three-year cycle in Montessori classrooms is so beneficial, not least of all, to the teachers.
Our Montessori preschool classrooms are composed of a mixed-age group of children who remain, ideally, in one classroom for three years. A child starts at age three and stays through her Kindergarten year. This is called the three year cycle. Each of those years brings new and unique learning opportunities for the child. As a three-year-old, the child observes her older peers and benefits from their experience. As a four-year-old, she starts to see herself as one of the "big kids" and expands her social circle. In her Kindergarten year she is recognized as a leader and takes pride in helping others.
When I took a sabbatical at the end of the school year in May, I left behind children who had been in my classroom for one or two years. I was able to catch up with many of those students today when I visited the classroom. I observed that two of "my" third-year students, I'll call them S and K, were part of what Montessorian John Chattin-McNichols calls a "roving pack of 5-year-olds." They were wandering around with some other boys and mixing it up a little. I knew these two boys when they were just barely three years old. I knew them before they could consciously control their bodies at group time and even before they could dress themselves successfully. Now, here they were - big, bold 5-year-olds and I was curious to see who they had become eight months after we last worked together.
Angie, my dear friend and the lead teacher of my former class, shared with me that S and K had been working on the squaring and cubing chains in the math area, so I asked them about those activities. They were eager to show me what they had already done and tell me what came next. Within a few minutes, they broke off from the pack and were ready to master the 10 cubing chain.
The 10 cubing chain - or 1000 chain - is a concrete representation of 10 cubed. It's made up of one thousand pea-sized beads organized into bars of ten. The bars of ten are attached at the ends to make a chain. Children are ready for this work after they have mastered the 1 - 10 squaring chains and the 1 - 9 cubing chains. This video from the DuPage Montessori School in Naperville, Illinois provides a good overview of how the squaring and cubing chains are presented in the Montessori classroom.
The 10 cubing chain is nearly 30 feet long so it must be laid out in the hallway outside the classroom. So, off to the hallway we went.
S and K divided up the tasks between themselves. One carried the rolled-up mat and the other carried the chain. We established the space we would use in the hallway and K unrolled the mat while S went back into the classroom for the number tabs. We discussed how they would sort the tabs on the tray and move it down the mat as they worked.
S found the 1000 tab. He knew it went at the very end of the chain but he left it on the tray. There was a pause before they started and I asked what number they would start with. S said, "We have to count them all."
That is certainly one way to do it. But when a child is ready for the 1000 chain, he is generally ready to complete it without counting every number because he can now count by tens and hundreds. Once you trust that 10 is ten, you don't have to count it again.
I asked if they thought they could first put tabs on the hundreds. Yes! They were sure they could. Together, we counted the bars as 10, 20, 30 and so on until we got to 100. S got the 100 tab and marked that spot. K quickly grasped the system and immediately went to work sorting out all of the hundreds tabs in a separate group so that S could place them. This was my cue to find something else to do. I went back inside the classroom to assist Miss Angie while the boys marked off every 100th bead on the chain with the appropriate tab.
They repeated the process, stopping after each bar of ten. K was the sorter, S was the placer. "150! I need 150," S said. K had it ready. There was never any disagreement, that I heard, over who would do which task. They just got started and they each found their niche as they went. And they were really digging their work.
They started the cubing chain work at 9:45 and I checked in with them every few minutes. They finished at 11:00. One of them stopped to use the bathroom then went straight back to his work. Other children would step into the hall to see what was happening and then go back inside to their work.
Sometimes I checked on S and K without speaking and other times I acknowledged their progress. Once, I said I would be back to check on them in a bit unless they needed some help. "We need some help," S said. They could not find the tab for 590. I suggested they leave a space for that number and they could put it there when they found it. They never found it, but they were able to move on without hesitation.
As they got to the very end, S picked up the 1000 tab and started to place it under the 1000th bead. K said, "Hey! We decided we would put that one on together!" And so they did. That's when this photo was snapped.
If you had asked me three years ago if these children were developing normally and if they were going to learn to read and write and grow up to be compassionate humans I would have responded, "Of course they will!" But in the back of my head there would have been a tiny voice saying, "What if they aren't? What if they are never able to sit in a chair for more than 8 seconds? What if they never learn to put their shoes on by themselves? What if they show no interest in reading? What if they always write six as 9?"
That doubtful voice is a familiar one to parents because most of us only get to experience the development of one or two children. We fear we will do something wrong and our children will not achieve their potential. Preschool teachers should know better because we get to observe hundreds of children over the course of our careers, right? But sometimes, even with years of experience, we forget that our job is simply to prepare a nourishing environment. It is the child who must do the work of building the man.
In 1949, Maria Montessori offered us some guidance in our quest to relax and trust that each child will reveal himself as a competent and confident being in his own time. In The Absorbent Mind she wrote, "...for while, in the traditional schools, the teacher sees the immediate behavior of her pupils, knowing that she must look after them and what she has to teach, the Montessori teacher is constantly looking for a child who is not yet there."
Dr. Montessori also implemented the three-year cycle in our classrooms to give us enough time to look for that child and see him before he moves on to primary school.
I am not at all surprised that S and K can count to 1000 by tens and hundreds. I am not surprised that they can recognize 3-digit numerals or that they can prepare, complete, and put away their work. I am not even surprised that two 5-year-old boys willingly work together on a math material for 1 hour and and 15 minutes with only a bathroom break and very limited guidance. I've seen it before.
I am surprised at the sense of joyous relief I feel each time children reveal themselves in this way. It's an experience that never gets old. I suppose that's the ultimate reward of being a teacher.
It is important to say that you are your child's most important and influential teacher. You set the tone for your child's love of learning from the very start and it is you who bridges the gap between school and home. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming.
So please join us for "Bringing Montessori Home," a Parent Development Opportunity on Wednesday, October 9th from 6:30-8:00 pm. Kelly Sallee will be presenting ideas you can use and materials you can make to prepare a home environment that will nurture your child's independence. We hope you might also share how you use the Montessori philosophy to help your child be successful in your home. Register in the office or call or email email@example.com today!
Date: Wednesday, Oct. 9th
Time: 6:30-8:00 pm
Location: MSGL
Classroom: To Be Decided
Childcare available - call,
sign up in office or email Lena at email@example.com.
We hope to see you there!
Two years ago, before their daughter was even old enough to enroll at MSGL, Zoe Neal and Desiree Chuang made an historic donation to our school. Owners of Virtuous Cycles in downtown Lafayette, Zoe and Desiree gave us a bright orange Strider balance bike to try out on the tricycle track. It soon became the most beloved of all the bikes because it is the only two-wheeler and it has no pedals. And most importantly, it goes FAST! Well, it goes as fast as the square bike track will allow and with all of the tricycle traffic? The bike track is sometimes more like the intersection of 52 and Salisbury when Purdue heads home for the day. Still, it feels really fast.
Old School
On the bikes of my youth and quite possibly yours, I learned to pedal with a set of training wheels attached to the hub of the back wheel to keep the bike, and me, upright. I learned to pedal the bike but never felt what it was like to be truly balanced on two wheels. When the training wheels came off I wasn't really ready at all. I had to learn to balance, and quickly! - and my parents had to watch. Spoiler alert: we all survived.
New School
Balance bikes let a child master the balancing part - the most challenging part - of riding a bike, first. When you are coasting on a Strider bike with your feet not touching the ground it feels exactly like riding a bike. You ARE riding the bike, you're just not pedaling it. And since many children already learned to pedal on a tricycle the year before, the two skills of balancing and pedaling come together nicely after they have mastered the Strider. Several online reviews point out that if a child can walk she can ride a balance bike, so some children skip the tricycle stage altogether.
Maria Montessori observed the importance of a child developing his sense of balance. She created activities such as walking on the line to help fine-tune this sense. At MSGL the Strider is an extension of that balance exercise.
Last year, the Franklin family donated a new, dark blue Strider and now the children can have a turn to ride in half the time. That's important because learning to have a turn and to wait for a turn is one of the biggest works of preschool. The children at MSGL and their teachers have come up with an almost fool-proof system for taking turns on the Striders and all the bikes. It came to be called the "waiting bench."
The Waiting Bench
The waiting bench is right next to the bike shed which is sort of the starting line of the bike track. The first two children take the bikes out of the shed and ride them. When another friend wants a turn, he sits on the waiting bench. This signals the riders that someone is waiting for a turn so they need to consider how many more laps they will take before handing the bike off to the next friend. Sometimes the rider stops riding and negotiates with the waiter.
Waiter: How many more times are you going to go around?
Rider: 10
Waiter: That's too many! How about 7?
Rider: How about 5? (When you're learning numbers and quantity, it's sometimes more important to pick a number you like than to negotiate for the most turns. Negotiation skills improve with experience :)
Once an agreement has been reached, the rider continues his laps while the waiter and his friends count down from 5 to 1. At the hand-off between rider and waiter, the cycle is repeated with new riders. Sometimes there are misunderstandings and an experienced child steps in to mediate. A teacher is always nearby to see what is happening and make herself available to help, if needed.
The idea of the waiting bench just sort of happened, like lots of great things happen in child-centered environments. It's possible that the teachers could have made an arbitrary rule about each child getting only 5 turns, but that would diminish the child's ability to make choices and consider the feelings of others. For example, 5-year-olds can recognize a child who is struggling with being patient and they will sometimes hand the bike over early to help this child. This leads to another cycle that I call the "Cycle of Benevolence." Benevolence is an inclination to perform kind, charitable acts. When a child sees a peer giving freely of herself to make someone else happy, it feels good. Soon, that child is looking for a way to help a friend. The cycle repeats and those kind acts and good feelings spill over into the community and, ultimately, the whole wide world.
Heike Larson, an administrator and blogger at Leport School in California, writes frequently of the importance of fostering benevolence in preschool communities. All of us at MSGL are inspired by her blog. She has also written about balance bikes on the Leport Schools blog here.
If you are considering buying a balance bike for your child, be sure to visit Virtuous Cycles to check out their selection of models and colors. Tell them MSGL sent you and be a part of the Cycle.
Families are drawn to Montessori schools for many different reasons. Sometimes parents are looking to continue in preschool the child-centered environment they have established at home. Others wish to see their children thrive in the our enriched classrooms. Still, other families choose Montessori preschools because they want their children to learn and socialize in a non-competitive environment. Whatever the reason parents choose Montessori, they often have many questions during their child's first year.
To help answer these questions, MSGL offers a 1 ½-hour Montessori Basics class each Fall and all new families are expected to attend. Preprimary teacher Kelly Sallee presented this year's class on September 25th to a packed house of over 40 parents and grandparents. Kelly focused her presentation on the Prepared Environment, the Sensitive Periods of a child's development, and the Role of the Teacher. If you were unable to attend this year's Basics, follow this link to read more about Kelly's presentation. Below are a few tips for new parents.
Kelly's Tips for New Montessori Parents
Do your best to control the environment, not the child. Organize the child's belongings to help him be independent and successful.
Don't worry if your child is unable to sit still or to focus for long periods. "Even when we feel they're not listening, they are learning."
What's in your child's cubby does not necessarily reflect their work because many activities have no "paper" component. Look at classroom photos and videos on SmugMug to see what the children are working on in class. Your child's teacher will also have this information available for you at parent/teacher conferences.
Give your child the gift of time. Try not to rush her through tasks. When a child is allowed to dress herself in the morning it may take longer but she will develop the skills necessary for independence.
Allow your child to work without interruption, when possible. Periods of uninterrupted work strengthen a child's ability to concentrate for longer periods of time.
Allow your child to complete tasks without correction. "I don't know any adults who walk around with their shoes on the wrong feet. They will figure it out with time."
Give your child the opportunity to be a third-year student. Our mixed-age classrooms allow children to move from being the youngest who look up to role models to being the role models themselves. "Children who are the youngest in their families need the third year to be the leader that they don't get to be at home."

Prayers needed
Well I guess the can't help its has finally hit my home front. I started feeling like I was going to pass out at work last night. Went to medical dept and my blood pressure was 184/130 and pulse was 140. The gave me some meds and I came up front and chatted on flash chat a bit. It came down a little bit. I went to the Dr today and payed him a a visit. I have never had problems with High BP but he told me today that i have had it for a while now. It has damaged parts of my eyes (which explains the blurring vision). He didn't like the way the ol ticker was beating either among quite a few other things that was abnormal, so January is when all the heart tests begin for me
He told me if I didn't slow down I would be dead by 35, so that really brought reality into play today. So all I am asking to say a prayer that everything turns out ok for me.
thanks fellas
Wow, Josh slow down! I cant imagine how that felt hearing that today. I'm sorry to hear that and of course you'll be on my list! Why dont you come down and chilax with me some ?! Otherwise just take life a day at a time and enjoy it. I hope you have a very relaxing and great Christmas.

I gues thats what I get for working 16 hour days 5 days week. I should slow down a bit........
Whoa Hoss! Yer too young fer that! You're startin' to sound like some ol' geezer I know!
You only get one shot at life - relax and enjoy it!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Thanks BD. whats got me worried is heart problems run in the family bad. So hopefully its passing me up, heart problems that it is
I hate going to the doctor as much as anyone, but when they tell me to do something I pretty much listen. Take a rest Josh and enjoy the winter, those cubs will be waiting for you when you get to them. Get your health back and then take each day as it comes.
I tried to over do it this summer with the barn restoration and realized I couldn't slay all the dragons by myself so I backed off a bit. You can too.
Our prayers are definitely with you.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

You will be ok
Podge first of all you are in a stressfull business and that brings some of the trouble on. However having had problems myself years ago please know that the heart is a marvelous organ. With the technology and medications that are available now and if you have the good sense to do what they tell you to do you will be fine. We all get our wake up calls at some point in our life and be glad you still have the opportunity to get well. The only suggestion I would make is find the biggest and best Cardiology facilty in your area and go there. Best of luck I am sure you will be OK. Keep us posted and don't be afraid. Don

We are feeling elated as a Steamer has just hove in sight I trust with a mail I have not got on Duty yet, but am much better & am calculating to be off the sick list tomorrow or next day at farthest I should be pretty well if my Bowels & liver would do their duty. I am extremely positive, but I hate to take Physic. The Boys made a Grand Hurrah when the Steamer was reported, I wish you could see with what eagerness they watch for a Mail & how happy they are in getting letters; if their Friends could see them once I am sure they would not grudge the time & labor but would write oftener. there is nothing new here to disturb the usual routine of Garrison Life; most every day discharged or deserting Rebels come in & take the Oath. They look bad Dirty with poor & ragged Clothes. Our men I think would mutiny if they were as badly off as the Rebels they are armed with old muskets or shot

Best Uses
I was surprised to find about 1/3 of the pieces were 12" long. Nobody at Lumber Liquidators told me about that, nor did the specs indicate short pieces.
I would have passed this product if I had known.
Best Uses
The installation was a "SNAP"...All 3 rooms Look GREAT!!! 3 of the cartons were damaged during shipping. Had to use one of the cartons to complete the job...will return the 2 unused cartons...Took many before and after pix...
Best Uses
Laid down very easily. Much redder tint to it than the Lumber Liquidator photos. The consumer provided photos are what this product looks like. Looks really sharp in our entryway and kitchen.
Best Uses
previous customer; finished bedrooms with this product, easy to install and fit and finish are excellent. Great service from Chula Vista store again.
Best Uses
Used this product over carpeting and am pleased with my choice. Clean up is a breeze with a dustmop compared to a heavy sweeper. Love the look better as well!
Best Uses
Install was easy and the floor looks great!
Best Uses
I bought this flooring to replace a carpet/tile covering that the previous owner had installed. It was needed to cover up the damaged original hardwood floor that the house was built with in 1911.
The eco silent padding went down easy with only a few staples to keep it in place while working on it. The Lumber Liquidators flooring calculator was spot on providing me with enough floor to complete the job with minimal waste.
I really like the click together design and I was able to install 275 sq ft in a day! The handscraped look is awesome and varies from piece to piece. Will be looking to this product again when I redo my sunroom.
Service and delivery comments:
I have to say, the store management and employees are top notch at the New Haven CT store! They were professional and curteous in expediting my order and helping me load it in my truck.
Great service is hard to come by these days but they excelled at what hey do!
I'll be back!
Best Uses
My wife & I just love the tone(s) and the handscraped detailing of this product. It looks absolutely amazing in our two bedrooms and we can hardly believe the price of the wood (on a per sq. foot basis). Only time will tell if the quality can match the great looks but at this point in time it's definitely love at first sight!!
Best Uses
The service was great. The installer got
To my house around 8:00 am and was done by 6:30 pm. He cleaned up everything and moved furniture back for me. You will have to dust when he leaves but that should be expected. The floors look beautiful.
I was kind of apprehensive about ordering floors online that I had never seen in person. This product arrived fast to my local store and they were very professional about keeping me up to date on my order status. WOW, in comparison to shopping other places- the price on this wood was amazing and the installation went smooth and the finished product looks fantastic! I am impressed.

However, by observing a few precautions like setting up a regular cleaning routine and simple maintenance program to protect the finish, you can expect years of performance and beauty from your wood floor. All wood floors can show signs of wear over time. There are many factors that can affect the amount of wear. These include the size and lifestyle of your family and product location.

text: I can confirm that Yasa and Yuri are staying put in Ann Arbor. Students there are making their fall college plans, and talked to them prior to making their commitments. Teaching a seminar is not the same thing as relocating. I don't want to see any potential teams that form this year to shy away from Ann Arbor thinking the program may leave. For our part, we just got a partner's visa in order in the fall to skate in Ann Arbor, so it would be a big hardship to alter that visa to go elsewhere.

Digging a hole
Farming and rural life discussion forum. Cooking, hunting, gardening, fishing, critters, etc.
Moderator: Team Cub
Digging a hole
Hello everyone I know this is off subject but if anyone has any ideas better than what I can come up with I sure would appreciate it. As all knows my legs are bad and I need 2 holes dug very deep. Well I have been setting on a chair and digging at it the best I can then setting on the ground and digging at it. I tried hiring any neighborhood boys but when they found out there was a shovel and pick involved they headed for the hills. I got down about 2 foot and now am in clay slate hard as rock, and after setting there for a long while pounding at it with a digging iron now I have blisters and cant finish.
Does anyone know of anything that can be put into a 1/2 drill maybe and go at it that way to at least break up the hard stuff than I can shovel it out. Or anything other than slamming that darn digging iron into the hole.
Again I appologize for this not being on subject but since all you good people has helped me out when I rebuilt the ol cub I thought maybe some of you might know of a better way.
Thanks everyone.
Calvin in WV.
PS There is no big rush with this because I have until next fall to finish.
Calvin: Do you know anyone nearby who has a tractor mounted post hole digger? They could loosen the dirt down to the maximum depth which the digger will go. If not, how about adding water, letting it set 24 hours before digging. That should soften the clay but will make it stick to the shovel. You might have to clean the clay off the shovel after each removal. Dan
HI Calvin
Once I get down some. I use a spud bar work around the outside of the hole pulling the bar aginst the side and breaking pieces off twards the center. And just using the posthole digger to remove the loose pieces.
Good luck Billy

"Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt the ones who are doing it."
Calvin, depending on where in WV you are, I do have a rotary hammer (think big 1/2" drill crossed with a jackhammer) that you can give a try. It will break the rocks and hard stuff up pretty well.
And I SHOULD have an auger for the N before you need this done if you can wait a bit.
49 Super A (Tinker) 47 Ford 2N (Cricket)
If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer.
Electric jack hammer.
Same problem in Missouri. Soon found out I couldn't dig or even chip the hard pan with a pick. Purchased a small 120 volt electric jack hammer to break up the hard pan. Over $1000- purchase price at the time. However, it was cheaper to purchase than to rent the jack hammer for a month.
Depending on how many holes, how deep and if you are setting poles. It may be cheaper to hire a contractor to do the work. Locally several of the small operators will take a 1/4 or 1/2 day job on a fill in basis (between larger more profitable jobs). You may have to wait quite a while before they show up.
I have an excuse. CRS.
DIgging a hole
I knew you fellows would come through and I sure do appreciate all your help. First off Im not asking anyone to come here to do the work and I do appreciate you asking thats what makes this board the best there has ever been NICE FOLKS. I think Im going to rent a jack hammer like a couple of you said and since reading all your ideas and after I get finished writing this Im going to the phone and call a tool rental place I think theres one around here and see if they have such a tool. I have set on the edge of this hole for hours with a diggning iron and slammed it into the edges and use the outside of the hole to pull it to the center but when the blisters start forming and busting it gets tiring quick. hahaa funny thing fellows, the neighborhood kids are always stopping by they call me Pap asking have anything to do Pap we need some money, soon as you show them a shovel and pick they look like they have smoke flying off their shoes getting away.
I think I was the only one around here that had a tractor The Ol Cub, and I sure do miss it, darn legs is what had me sell her, but you know what after I restored the ol cub and would just ride her around in the field it was really something to have cars stop by the road and pull over to take pictures of it. Some folks even asked what it was, guess they never saw a row tractor before. I pray that none of you fellows ever hurt your legs because when the use of them start going bad it sure takes a toll on your life.
Again I thank each and everyone of you that answered me on this and hope you the very best possible for you.
Happy New Years Cub Owners.

Calvin, I know exactly what your saying bout getting any locals to help do anything!!!, Same deal here in Il., people won't help anyone in need!! ---found that out when my spine started de-generating and it's a daily struggle to get things done!,---wish I lived closer to you, as I'm sure that between us we could get the holes dug!!----jackhammer may be the best way to go and work a little at the time! thanks; sonny
I seen or read a bout a fellow who was trying to dig a deep hole. He would break up the earth in the hole.Then use a shop vac to haul it out.Some time you got to do with what you have. Bruce

You guys make me appreciate my neighbors. If I say I need some help and I had better get out of the way, there will be 3 or 4 at my place before I can get back home.

Thanks Sonny and Bruce, John*.?-!.* cub your a lucky guy but glad for you, by the way John still got the hats their in my showcase looking pretty.
Bruce I guess when we get into a position we use what ever we can. Shop vac you know you can do a lot with one of those.
Sonny we do what we can you know that with your problem for sure, I called the local tool rental place today and as usual they were closed. I'll give them another call on Monday and see if they have one of those 110 volt jack hammers. I used one of those when I was younger and they get the job done.
Thanks again fellows.

Calvin, I started thinking about the electric jack hammer idea after you mentioned that you had problems with your legs. As I mentioned, I recently rented a jack hammer I used to bust out some concrete. That was a nightmare of my own making. Anyway, I noticed that if I tried to take too big of a bite, or go too deep, the darn thing would stick on me, and it was a lot of leg pulling to get it out. So be careful and take your time to minimize having to use your legs. Maybe the rental center has an idea of the best bit to use for this application.
It is difficult to get anybody to help you. People were amazed that I used a post hole digger to dig ~20+ fence post holes. Some young man asked me what I used to dig them. When I told him, he said, "You mean one of those things that you pull the handles apart?" Fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.
The majority of men live lives of quiet desperation- Henry David Thoreau
Digging a hole
Thanks Larry good idea, I'll just tell them what Im doing and your right he may give me the right bit that it needs to do that kind of work. I sure wish our ground wasn't as hard as it is around here. I remember when I was around 14 years old and I done something bad don't remember what it was but my Dad said well Im not going to give you a whippin but Im going to give you something else that you will remember the rest of your life. And he did, he handed me a shovel and a digging iron and had me dig 60 post holes 3 foot deep for his rasberry field. Man I will never forget that one for sure. It's a shame a person couldn't do that today with your kids boy they would have you on a slab if you tried something like that today.
Calvin in WV
I dont think anyone other than your kids would care if you had them digging post holes for punishment. As long as you let them sleep, feed them and such.

Obama welcomes 'good vibes' in Thailand
President Barack Obama said Sunday he is open to any positive thoughts over the ongoing budget negotiations, whether they come from prayer or vibes.
"I always believe in prayer. I believe in prayer when I go to church back home," Obama said at a press conference in Bangkok. "if a Buddhist monk is wishing me well, I'm going to take whatever good vibes he can give me to try to deal with some challenges back home."
At a stop earlier in the day, Obama jokingly told a monk, "We're working on this budget; we're going to need a lot of prayer for that."
At Sunday's press conference with Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Obama also expressed confidence about a fiscal deal, drawing on the democracy theme.
"Democracy's a little messier than alternative systems of government, but that's because democracy allows everybody to have a voice," Obama said. "That system of government lasts, and it's legitimate. And when agreements are finally struck, you know that nobody's being left out of the conversation -- and that's the reason for our stability and prosperity."
The president is on a three-day, three-country swing through Asia that will include the first-ever visit to Myanmar by an American president and conclude with the East Asia Conference in Cambodia. His first post-election overseas trip is intended to demonstrate Asia's economic importance, ensure positive Democratic steps continue, and reinforce actions taken during the last four years.
"Asia is my first foreign trip since our election in the United States and Thailand is my first stop -- and this is no accident," Obama said Sunday. "As the fastest-growing region in the world, the Asia Pacific will shape so much of our security and prosperity in the century ahead, and it is critical to creating jobs and opportunity for the American people."

The Orioles finished the first half 37-48 and in last place in the American League East, not exactly what Tejada expected when he signed a six-year, $72 million contract in December and declared the Orioles were no longer a losing team.
Tejada played well enough in his first 85 games in Baltimore to earn his second All-Star berth, which will occur Tuesday at Minute Maid Park. He has met the high expectations, hitting .315 with a team-high 15 homers and 75 RBIs. Those are better numbers than in the first half of his 2002 MVP season.
Tejada, however, chose not to focus on his personal accomplishments during the All-Star media session at the Four Seasons Hotel. The selfless shortstop expressed disappointment about his team's inability to compete in the AL East. After a 20-16 start, the Orioles were 17-32, including two losses in three games this weekend to the struggling Royals.
"I am going to play every game in the second half for the fans," he said. "I can see they are down about us losing. We should be playing better. I can see the many, many games we lose in a row and I can see the 40 to 45 thousand fans out there supporting us. Those are good fans."
While Tejada was talking to the media, his son, Miquel, picked up a tape recorder and held it up to his father's mouth. Without flinching, Miguel said "hola" into the recorder and smiled at his young son.
"That's what makes it special to be here," he said. "My family is here. I really didn't expect to make the All-Star team, that's what makes it surprising for me because they are so many great players and I didn't expect this."
Tejada has endeared himself to the Baltimore faithful with his workmanlike style. He has played in 679 consecutive games, passing Pete Rose this weekend for the 15th longest consecutive-games streak in Major League history. Of course, that doesn't much draw the attention of Orioles fans, who are accustomed to much longer streaks. See: Ripken, Cal.
Tejada has vowed to help the Orioles improve over the long run. The club has been besieged by injuries and subpar seasons from key players. While Tejada and players such as Javy Lopez and Jerry Hairston have been productive, the organization is more in a rebuilding mode than it anticipated.
That doesn't deter the 28-year-old Tejada, who was a part of a similar resurgence in Oakland.
"I am real happy in Baltimore," he said. "We're not playing the way we're supposed to be playing in the first half. (Winning) is many, many years coming, and I think this team is going to do what it takes to make you see that.
"It's been hard. Everybody wants to be out of the situation (in the standings) we are. We want to be in first place, we want to play in the playoffs. We are trying to give our best. We're going to play hard in the second half. We have 80-something (77) left and we are going to play better in the second half."
It's that type of positive attitude that has made Tejada popular among his teammates. He was part of four playoff teams in Oakland, and despite the A's perennial success -- they won 103 games the year after losing Jason Giambi in first place this season -- he is missed in the Bay Area.
Tejada and fellow All-Star Tim Hudson came up together in the minor leagues and were part of the team's resurgence.
"We lost a great player on and off the field," Hudson said. "You get spoiled with a guy like Miggy. He's a great shortstop. That goes without saying. He's a great guy. He's funny and he's passionate about the game and he loves to win and loves his teammates. He's one of the best teammates that I have had."
Tejada cannot predict how many games the Orioles will win or whether the club will turn things around quickly. The one thing he can guarantee is that he will be a positive part of the team's future.
"We are playing to win for many years," he said. "I knew it was going to take time. You have to work hard to get to that point. And we are going to do that. We are."

MINNEAPOLIS — Gianna Chien is somewhat different from all the other researchers reporting on their work to more than 8,000 doctors at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting in Denver.
Chien is 14, and her study — which found that Apple's iPad2 can, in some cases, interfere with life-saving heart devices because of the magnets inside — is based on a science fair project that didn't even win her first place.
The research offers a valuable warning for people with implanted defibrillators, which deliver an electric shock to restart a stopped heart, said John Day, head of heart-rhythm services at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah, and chairman of the panel that reviews scientific papers to be presented at the Denver meeting.
If a person falls asleep with the iPad2 on the chest, the magnets in the cover can "accidentally turn off" the heart device, said Chien, a high school freshman in Stockton, Calif., whose father is a doctor. "I definitely think people should be aware. That's why I'm presenting the study."
Defibrillators, as a safety precaution, are designed to be turned off by magnets. The iPad2 uses 30 magnets to hold the iPad2's cover in place, Chien said in a telephone interview. While the iPad2 magnets aren't powerful enough to cause problems when a person is holding the tablet out in front of the chest, it can be risky to rest it against the body, she found.
Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, declined to comment on the study in an email, referring questions about the iPad2's safety to its online product guide. The guide cautions users about radio frequency interference, suggests that patients with pacemakers keep the iPad at least six inches away and says they should be turned off in health-care facilities when instructed by staff or posted signs.

Locating Advice Of IPTV Steaming
Even hence the vary nonetheless accessible is astoundingly vast primarily after you are staying within a distinct region. On the cornerstone of service revenue, the US represents the best IPTV video service economy, contributing around in the service revenue of North America this season. To focus on, the quality on this type of entertainment is far superior along with other forms. They is actually a blessing to people business, who're organizing to enter on this sector. The artwork needs for being packed perfectly to head off being damaged during transportation.
The services that I use currently is referred to as Satellite Television for Computer technological innovation. There is essentially no different around the market as being a result far along with the value is considerably superior compared to competitors at low prices. Our professionals study and analyze that is a and its various components, with comprehensive study on the changing market behavior. Not to cover the back of sea turtles return to this IPTV thing Fubu Fu Yang farming culture of water and soil, as well as the traditional Internet, the spread of content delivered to farmers brothers haven't any choice, within the contrary it is usually a direct result on the "digital divide" produced: vulnerable website visitors to enjoy digital culture caused a life threatening obstacle, specifically including – geographical barriers: most less developed regions, particularly in mountainous rural areas, broadband network is very to arrive shortly; cost barriers: web plan to rely on "one on one" remote link to try and do the case, the high cost plus the cost of higher developed areas, vulnerable populations take time and effort to afford -socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Internet can just be a digital television broadcasting. Modern Tv audiences certainly are a complicated bunch.
With IP Multicast inside application of integrated access devices, most devices support IGMPsnooping and IGMP Proxy functionality. This will almost certainly generally rely from a location acquiring the hardware or assistance. There are two main formats used: Motion JPEG and MPEG4. The goal should be to raise a measure, even though it's not the entire amount, to begin this channel, to have the content out there. There will also be several new potential revenue streams in advertisement and also other interactivity through the 2-way capabilities of IPTV.
The IPTV Steaming providers allow users to choose from various packages available with them. It also works reasonably more than 3G and Wi-Fi, as well as the upcoming version from the software will certainly tie up the loose ends such as the navigation slowness and being limited by 4:3 aspect. Microsoft need to not only contest with rival console from Sony, the Play – Station 3 but dedicated media hubs like Apple TV and Roku's Internet Player. That's why online ticket brokers surpass to give the customer service you deserve. The Turkish mobile companies are one on the largest inside region due to country. System 1: Satellite Television on Pc Computer software.
But even at full load the fans where barely noticeable. Interconnection rules need to become defined for all carrier's networks including broadcasters, Cable Operators, MSOs, DTH, IPTV and Mobile TV remember level playing field. Web tv is one of the offering that web delivers today. If you've ever checked out of your respective hotel room by paying niche using the TV display from the room, you've most likely taken advantage connected with an IPTV service supplied through the hotel.
