Transport your tools easily with tool carriers from Sears
Tool carriers give you a lightweight alternative to bulky toolboxes, and they keep your tools organized neatly within the pockets. Sears provides a full inventory of tool carriers and bags from Craftsman and Westward for transporting your most-used tools with you to and from the job site. As an example, the Craftsman Bolt-On tool bag has individual sections for organizing your Bolt-On tools and accessories such as cordless drills and saw blades. We also have electricians' tote bags and all-weather bags that feature flexible construction, durable handles and up to 22 pockets.
If you have to leave your tools on the job site, then store your tools and supplies in job site storage boxes from Craftsman and Quantum. Job site containers feature all-weather construction and locks for protecting your tools overnight. A Craftsman 48-inch job site storage box stores up to 140 pounds of tools, and its top lid stays open to prevent closure as you insert and remove the supplies. Tool storage boxes also feature heavy-duty steel construction that holds up to the elements and the abuse of the construction site.
Back in the garage, use middle chests to organize smaller tools and supplies like screwdrivers and router bits. Some middle chests hold up to 1,000 pounds and fit conveniently between a rollaway chest and a top chest. A middle chest features ball-bearing drawers that reduce friction as you open and close them. Craftsman 26-inch-wide GRIPLATCH middle chests feature all-steel construction and a keyed internal locking system for securing your tools and accessories. Some middle chests come preassembled, so you can skip the assembly and start reducing clutter on your workbench right away.
Like tool carriers, tool carts help with transporting your tools and supplies from one point to another. The carts feature durable casters that support heavy tool loads, and some include drawers for organizing your most used bits, saw blades and smaller tools. A Craftsman 3-drawer utility cart features GRIPLATCH technology, which securely latches the drawers and prevents them from opening during transport. Just lift up on any part of the drawer to release it, and then slide it open to insert or remove your tools. Carts like the Sunex 5-drawer service cart feature five drawers, a top compartment and a side shelf for holding all of the tools you need for a job in the workshop.
You can carry your tools with ease if you have a tool carrier with shoulder straps. Transport your tools and supplies on durable tool carts with casters, and organize your workspace with middle tool chests. Come to Sears for an affordable inventory of storage supplies and accessories for the garage and on-site.

The story of Wes Leonard, a Michigan high school basketball player, along with many others, is part of what gives Dr. Brent Smith of Cleveland Medical Clinic inspiration to look out for the safety of local athletes.
Leonard die on the court due to heart complications. He needed an automated electronic defibrillator (AED), yet that AED was stored in a locked storage room, and had dead batteries.
Smith is now working to ensure that the AEDs in Cleveland schools are in proper working order and are on sidelines during sporting events.
AEDs are so user-friendly that it has the ability to tell the user exactly what to do.
"You will open it and it will start talking to you. The pads will have pictures on them to show where to put them. As soon as you put them on it will analyze the patient for you and it will tell you if you need to shock them or not," said Smith.
While all schools in Cleveland have AEDs on their campuses, Smith stresses the importance of knowing that they work correctly.
"You cannot be safe in the knowledge that you have an AED, you have to be safe in the knowledge that your AED is working," said Smith.
Smith mentioned it is best to check that an AED is working every six months and before a major sports season starts.
"If you're having a varsity athletic event you need to have it there.
"People will say 'oh, but it's baseball, it never happens' but what if it does," said Smith.
Smith also wants to be sure that coaches be prepared for the worst.
"One of my goals is, as a new town sports medicine physician, to work with them to not only ensure that, but also we need things call emergency actions plans for athletic events," said Smith.
These plans would ensure that every coach and trainer would know what to do in case of an emergency during a sporting event.
"You discuss those at least once a year, and especially before their season starts, so that, if heaven forbid the time comes, they at least know that there is a plan," said Smith.
Smith also hopes to see the Zackery Lystedt Law pass in the state of Mississippi.
Mississippi is one of three states that have not passed this law.
This law protects players from serious brain injuries due to concussions.
The law has three actions steps, educate on a yearly basis, any athlete suspected of a concussion is done for the day, and no athlete can return to play without being evaluated by a medical professional.
"An information sheet that people have to sign is enough to get information in people's hands so that it has started to change some of the ways this is handled in the states that have passed this law," said Smith.
"It wasn't passed in Washington until 2009 and in that four or five year span, it has gone nation wide.
"In that same time span you've seen attitudes change in the places that adopted it early just through giving them information," said Smith.
Smith believes that having this law actually makes it easier for coaches on the sidelines.
If an athlete is suspected of having a concussion they are done for the day and Smith said, "that takes away the coaches having to make that decision on the sidelines. That's a lot to ask of a coach in the heat of a game and so if there's any suspicion of a head injury you take them out."
Smith stressed that a concussion can occur in plays that are less dramatic than a serious blow to the head.
"There are certain things you can be tough and play through — a sprained ankle, twisted knee, bad bruise — the head is not one you should do that with because it is so vitally important to you for the rest of your life.
"It is honestly the one body area, that and the heart, that you can say there is not safe zone, you've got to be careful," said Smith.
Smith believes that by having players, parents, and coaches educated on the subject, concussions will be easier to spot and then a more serious injury can be prevented.
"If a coach can understand that if you look at that kid and something isn't right, stop right there and do what's best for the kid," said Smith.
Smith brought all of these ideas to the Cleveland School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday, who plans to look over what he addressed and get back with him about implementing these ideas in schools.
Smith also goes to the Cleveland School District high schools each week to check on the athletes.
"It provides them a presence they know they can rely on to be there regularly, a lot of these injuries don't need to be seen in a clinic …. it develops trust … I want these kids to be healthy," said Smith.
Smith will continue to work with the athletes of Cleveland and try to bring awareness to the preventions of serious life-ling injuries through education.

Penguins trade for Flames' Iginla

(AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Fred Chartrand, file)
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames.
The Flames announced the deal after their victory over Colorado on Wednesday night, sending their longtime captain to the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins in exchange for college prospects Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski and a first-round pick this year.
The deal was Penguins' third big move in four days. They picked up forward Brenden Morrow in a deal with Dallas on Sunday, and acquired defenseman Doug Murray from San Jose on Monday.
The 35-year-old Iginla is in the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent July 1. He was scratched from Calgary's lineup against Colorado, ending his consecutive games streak at 441.
Flames general manager Jay Feaster said the deal was completed during the Flames' 4-3 victory over Colorado, and that team was fielding three offers.
"We as an organization owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Jarome," Feaster said, "not only for what he did for the franchise during his tenure as a player here and as our captain, but also for the fact that now as we recognize that despite our best efforts, and despite the work we've put in, we've fallen short of the goals we set for ourselves as an organization.
"We respect very, very much the fact that Jarome worked with us to enable this to come about."
Iginla has nine goals and 13 assists in 31 games this season. In 1,219 career regular-season games in 16 seasons, all with Calgary, he has 525 goals and 570 assists. He has 28 goals and 21 assists in 54 career playoff games and has played for Canada in three Olympics.
Calgary is 14th in the Western Conference and will likely miss the playoffs for the fourth straight season.
Agostino plays for Yale, and Hanowski at St. Cloud State. Both are forwards.
The 20-year-old Agostino was selected by Pittsburgh in the fifth round of the 2010 draft. The junior leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 15 goals and 22 assists in 33 games this season. Yale will face Minnesota on Friday night in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The 22-year-old Hanowski, a third-round pick in 2009, recently finished his senior season at St. Cloud State, where he was the team's captain. He had 16 goals and 13 assists in 34 games this season.

CNN — Lawmakers from both the House and Senate said Sunday all options must be considered during fiscal cliff negotiations, as both parties work to try to avoid an economic crisis.
One of the biggest holdups so far during negotiations has been whether or not Republicans will accept tax increases, something President Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders have been pushing for. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, said it's a position the GOP needs to give up.
'The key here is whether or not the Republicans with move away from the ideologically rigid position, which has been the Grover Norquist pledge that most of them signed, that they will not go for additional revenues," Levin said during an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press."
Responding to the charge, Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said Republicans do have to be open-minded when it comes to negotiations.
"I think everything should be on the table. I myself am opposed to tax increases. The fact is the speaker and the majority leader and the president are going to be in a room trying to find the best package. I'm not going to prejudge it. I'm just saying we should not be taking iron-clad positions," King said on "Meet The Press."
But taxes are far from the only issue. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said on "Fox News Sunday" that entitlement reform has to be a big part of these negotiations.
"Entitlement reform is the only way we are going to really get the debt and deficit under control, and we've got to take it on," McCain said.
King said it's important to get a deal done before the end of the year, not just to avoid the crisis, but to allow lawmakers to work on new issues at the start of a new term.
"Let's find a way to get as much resolved as possible between now and the end of the year, so both the new Congress and the president in his second term can start over with a clean slate," King said.
To do this, King said, it's time for lawmakers to grow up.
"The bottom line is, we can't have sequestration. We can't go off a fiscal cliff. We have to show the world we're adults. The election is over," King said.

Excellent product, either combined with L-carnitine or on its own.Goes Well With:l-carnitine
Well worth a try - I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good antioxidant.Goes Well With:Vitamins and minerals.
You can really feel that itt increases metabolism. Don't get the jitters like other thermogenic products on the market.
I thought I'd try it to increase my antioxidant intake, they also seem to be having an impact on my metabolic rate too. Great product.
Bought this product as a daily anti-oxidant and although you can't see visible results (obviously) I believe that this is a very good product and recommend!
This product was shared between two of us, and it worked well for me but not for my partner. For the price it's worth a try, which is why I got it.
Excellent product, keeps you going for ages and suppresses appetite at the same time. I could not go without it.As always my protein is the best, prompt, efficient and excellent value for money.
Staple product of my order. It does exactly what it is supposed to. I use it in conjunction with L-carnitine and I'm seeing great results with the stack. I would recommend when entering the tough cutting stage.Goes Well With:L-carnitine or aceytl l-carnitine.
Easy to swallow and does what it says on the description.
I am taking these tablets 3 times a day for 3 weeks now but sorry to say I have not seen any results yet. Taste, Mixability is okay but for me it did not work.
This item is great and easy if you don't have time to drink green tea just take a tablet.
Got these free with an offer, green tea is already part of my diet but thought I'd give them a try aswell. We call them inferno pills because they are so thermogenic! Great for cutting. No taste and small pills easy to swallow.Goes Well With:whey60, creating, glutamine, BCAA
I started drinking this for my new healthy eating plan, but didn't quite like the taste. I bought these tablets instead of drinking the tea and for convenience. I've been taking them a couple of weeks now and will hopefully see some results in the long term. I will definitely purchase these again.
I certainly feel perkier! hard to tell if it is just down to these but at that value I will buy again!
I have been using it for three seasons, it's a great antioxidant and a product to manage weight. You should definitely include this in your diet.Goes Well With:Alpha men and cod liver oil
I feel a little bit brighter after taking it, although I've only been taking a short while.Goes Well With:thermobol , l carnitine.
Have only been taking this for about a week but so far I would say it's a good supplement to have in anyone's daily supplements. I personally don't like tea and with all the health benefits of drinking green tea, this product is perfect. I don't see any difference after taking, ie no effect from the caffeine as only a small amount so that's good. All in all a great product and the price is bang on. the pill is small and tasteless. Goes Well With:good healthy diet
I take 2 tablets in the morning and one at midday. It helps me feel more alert, less anxious and just more relaxed. It's kind of a less intense caffeine experience without the lack of sleep and not being able to sit still. I would recommend!Goes Well With:Cod Liver Oil
I was advised to drink Green Tea due to its health benefits, but I'm not a fan. I like my black tea too much. These are an extremely handy way to get the benefit of green tea.Goes Well With:Water
I like the product. It is really good and I recommend it!
This product is amazing, keeps me going for ages. Much needed when you work shifts and train like a maniac! Does not taste of anything, easy to consume no aftertaste, no upset stomach! Must buy if you want to keep in top form! Thank you Myprotein for the best value on a market and prompt delivery!!Will not shop anywhere else!
I have been taking this product once a day after training, together with Electrolytes Plus. Overall, there is a good effect. I feel better and not sluggish at all, so I can normally pursue my usual activities. Goes Well With:Electrolytes Plus
Really easy to take, a lot better than other tablets I have had.
I feel a lot better overall after using this supplement, and haven't had any stomach aches for ages. It's a great supplement to have along with healthy food and lots of green tea drinks.
This product is basically tasteless. They're very small capsules that are easy to swallow. Judging by the last few weeks, it has had a positive impact on my cutting cycle. It's very cheap, convenient and cost effective and saves drinking 3 cups of tea a day!Goes Well With:Fish Oil
"Been taking these pre morning workout, immediately after with a shake then one at lunch. No jittery caffeine effects, feel slightly more awake but definitely less sluggish the next day. Been taking with BCAA plus and sesamin oil as part of cutting and seems to doing the job. Not miracle results but worth the price."
Been using this for 10 days and not feeling anything... lets see. mega cheap anyway...
"I've been taking this to aid weight loss and it seems to be helping. They are amazing value compared to the ones sold on the high street, especially being 1000mg."
Everyone should know how important green tea is but its not always nice or convenient to cram a cup in during a busy schedual. These tablets solve the issue!
Very good stuff at mopping up free radicals aka makin you feel less groggy the morning after an intense session.\nAlso keeps you alert when taken evenly though the day
Useful product to assist with diet - not obvious effect but best brand i've used yet.

Join the family as they walk down a pathway marked with humility that ultimately leads to forgiveness and reconciliation. From toe tappers to moving ballads interwoven with memorable Christmas carols, the captivating score takes you in with a turn-of-the-century flavor that's sure to keep everyone in the family spellbound!

Who honestly thought we would win last night? This has nothing to do with my personal like or dislike of Matt Cain- in fact, I only dislike him because of the obvious fact that he combs his hair when it's dry, huge no-no for curly haired folks. This has to do with the fact that it would be way too easy to win in three. Or in four. I think this one's going five games. The 2010 Giants don't do things the easy way and we should all know that by now. I'm guilty, too. I thought they'd win last night. I always hold the lingering hope they'll change their ways, but who changes their ways in the postseason? (The correct answer is: no one. A+ for all of you, who answered right.)
But what I really want to talk about is why I no longer Fear the Beard(s). To be quite honest, I never Feared them and always thought they were basically ugly but they worked, so how could I complain? And since Brian Wilson will probably never be a male model (who knows, high fashion is attracted to interesting or odd faces) it's more important for him to pitch well. Same with the rest of the bullpen. But I think they took it too far. Game 1 of the postseason, the bullpen was not needed. Game 2, it was. And it failed, majorly. I think the bullpen is doomed for the postseason. I'm not saying this because they had one day where they were whacked out, because that obviously doesn't denote failure forever, I'm saying it because I think the beards have done their job. In the past tense. And it's time to do something new. Like dye their eyebrows orange. That was just an example, not a suggestion.
Can we call it "The Brian Wilson Beard", like "The Mona Lisa Smile"?
Moreover, the beards are really not well suited to their wearers. I did a little research on what face shapes a few of the bullpen guys have as well as beard shapes and here's what I came up with.
Brian Wilson- Oval
An oval face is very forgiving, beard-wise, but Wilson's complexion is not. The darkness of color, instead of being menacing, ends up looking strange. It washes out his face, particularly his skin and eyes. In addition, his beard is at the "not-sure" point. Not short enough to be "I forgot my razor" and not quite long enough to be "I have a beard". If nothing else, the color should go.
Oval face.
Sergio Romo- Round
Romo's round face is overwhelmed by volume on the sides. It's important to draw the focus to the center with spiky hair and volume and length near the inside of the beard rather than on the corners of the jaw.
Round face.
Jeremy Affeldt- Heart shaped
Affeldt has a heart-shaped face, which is rarer among men and therefore more tricky. His goatee emphasizes his chin, which is already prominent (spoken- okay, written- by a heart-shaped face girl) and he, in contrast to Romo, needs to draw the emphasis outwards in a fuller beard.
Heart shaped
What do y'all think? Do you Fear the Beard(s)? Think it's time to shave them off? Ideas for a new tradition?
X's and O's,
Diamond Girl
p.s. Since we're, you know, talking about facial hair. And sports. Not that I'm recommending this mustache for the 'pen, or anything.

CENTRAL CITY, Ky. (4/29/13) – Lunchtime traffic was backed up more than usual on South 2nd Street Monday, April 29th in Central City.
A large truck filled with tires headed to Pace Tire Company in Central City made an unexpected "truck stop" when the driver attempted drive under the 11 feet 8 inches clearance railroad overpass.Although the official report had not been filed prior to this report, Central City Police Chief Brent Robertson was on the scene. Robertson told SurfKY News that the truck filled with tires, belonged to Robison Tire Company in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.
"It failed to yield to the clearance warning signs. We were behind him and tried to get him to stop, but he didn't see us. We could tell just from looking that he couldn't make it under there." Chief Robinson said.
The overpass has been the cause of many a stuck truck throughout the years, even though it is clearly marked.

Seen outside Globe Willow class: "I wish this was a boring school and it was longer so I can finish my work."
I was excited to capture this video of a preschool friend doing the 9 Layout recently. The 9 Layout is a Montessori math activity that presents the ideas of place value and increments. Beads representing ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands are counted and matched with the numerals. Here, my friend has completed the ones place and has started the tens. She is adding bars of ten until she makes ninety. (You might turn down your volume. The background is a bit noisy.)
What I noticed when I reviewed the video is how she stops to reflect after each increment. She moves the bars up, adds one, then sits back to review or reflect on the work. This is one of the beautiful aspects of Montessori - or really, just scientific pedagogy in general - the child doesn't need a teacher to step in and say, "Great! That makes 60!" All she needs is to see how to do the work then be allowed to do it. When she is all finished with the tens, then she looks up at me. My mentor, Don Czerwinskyj, made sure I understood the importance of offering a child a reflection when they were finished with work. He told me to wait for the child to finish and watch her face when she looks up. Is she pleased? surprised? excited? confused? Wait for her to assess her own work before offering any feedback. In this child's case, when she looked up at me and seemed satisfied, I said, "Ok. You did it! You completed the tens. Are you ready to count the hundreds?" She said she was and she continued.
A friend of mine told me recently about visiting a preschool where every child's work was praised lavishly. Every painting or block structure was met with, "Oh my! That's the most beautiful picture/castle/birthday cake I've ever seen!!" Montessori educators try to avoid empty praise because it causes children to look outside themselves - rather than inside - for affirmation. Just like adults, kids have opinions about their work and their performance. If a child is happy with her work then we can be happy for her. If she is unsatisfied with her work or feels she doesn't understand it, we can offer empathy, advice, or suggestions - depending on what's needed.
When this student was finished with the work, I snapped this photo just as she added the last thousand cube. She was pleased with herself, as the photo shows.
Now, because my job is to observe and assess her understanding of the concepts she was learning, I noticed that she had only stacked 8 cubes, instead of 9. This was no time for criticism - look at that beaming face! So I commented on how pleased she was with her work. I asked her if we could count all of those cubes. When she got to 8 thousands she realized that she needed one more. She added one more cube, we counted them again together, and I said, "There are 9 thousands and this says 9000. Is that correct?" She said it was, and together we determined that her work was complete. She then put all of the materials away.
Sometimes we think our grown-up words are essential to motivate children to learn and to keep them on track. But most of the time, we could get by with a few words and more time simply observing and offering reflections. Rather than saying, "That's a beautiful painting," we could say, "Wow! You used 5 different colors in this painting. Do you have a favorite?" It requires more work for us to look so carefully before commenting, but it shows the child that we are truly interested in her work. And, we are interested in the process and not just the product.
If words fail us, we can always try those three little words everyone loves to hear, "You did it!"

Following Friends to Physics
Free play and building with logs and boards is a realistic way to explore physics concepts. MSGL has an outdoor space that allows for more than just "recess." Outside time is not a chance to get away from the classroom, it's an opportunity for children to use their whole bodies to learn and, most importantly, have fun with friends.
On Thursday, a quartet of boys was getting very silly in the back corner of our Montessori classroom. They were speaking with outside voices and using all available paper to make pretend swords so they could have a pretend swordfight. When I tried to redirect them, they asked to make paper airplanes and see whose would fly the farthest. Although Montessori teachers are known for their flexibility and laid-back grooviness, I could not condone sword-fighting and airplane-flying during class on this, only the second full week of preschool. What would people say?
I empathized with these friends because they wanted to play together and needed to actively move their bodies, but it was still 30 minutes before we (read: I) could even think about going outside where this type of gross-motor play was appropriate. They took a half-hearted interest in another activity and I sat at a table nearby to observe. When they realized I was there to stay, they started putting away their work and chanting with dead eyes and sad voices, "No more fun. No more fun. No more fun." It would seem I had officially become "the man." They went to the other side of the room to build a tower with the brown stair and the pink cubes and within minutes, they were using the smallest brown stair as a lever to launch the smallest pink cube across the rug. Clearly, they were trying to tell me something.
What these boys wanted was action. They are perfectly willing to come in each morning and work on their maps or practice writing their names, but after a time they really want to make things move. And it's not just the boys, of course. Girls thrive on kinesthetic learning activities and they are usually the first to line up to walk across the log seesaw.
In fact, all young children are kinesthetic learners. Most mature into adolescents who can learn successfully through watching and listening, but not all. As long ago as 1979, researchers studying how humans learn understood this:
"Restak (1979) and others have indicated that many students do not become strongly visual before third grade, that auditory acuity first develops in many students after the sixth grade, and that boys often are neither strongly visual nor auditory even during high school. Therefore, since most young children are tactual and kinesthetic learners, such resources should be developed and used, particularly for those who are experiencing difficulty learning through lectures, direct verbal instructions, "chalk talks," and textbook assignments."- See the full article at Education.com
No one is suggesting that preschoolers should be taught through lectures, but sometimes society (or maybe our high school principal's voice in the back of our head) worries us into thinking that if we don't make our children sit down, concentrate, and learn - how will they ever be successful in school or the Real World that supposedly comes after?
Parents sometimes ask, "When will you teach him to sit still and listen to the teacher?" The answer is that he will sit still and listen when what I am saying is of interest to him. It's my job to find the topic that is so fascinating to the child that he can't help but hold his body still so as to not miss a single word. A teacher's job is to be fascinating; but only until the child is so interested in the subject that he sets off to explore it on his own. At that point, the teacher observes and prepares for the child's next question then guides him to find the answers on his own. (Please note: Matters of health, safety, and courtesy are always addressed immediately. No one in the classroom has the freedom to hurt themselves or to hurt or disrupt others.)
Maria Montessori observed that not only do young children learn kinesthetically, they absolutely MUST learn this way for proper brain development.
"Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas." - The Secret of Childhood
So, as a good teacher who believes in a research-based approach to education, I am obligated to consider the kinesthetic learning style of my preschool students. I am also obligated to follow a child's interests because a child who is studying something she is interested in, as opposed to an externally-imposed curriculum, is much more likely to retain that information and build connections in her brain. So why were we still inside the classroom and NOT outside studying the physics of flight and simple machines? Because I didn't know they were interested until Thursday. But now I do.
As a result, my assistant and I will be following our 3, 4, and 5-year-olds into the action-packed world of physics this week starting with the simple lever. We will spend a little extra time outside on the log seesaw for some major gross motor exploration, then we will scale down the kinesthetic experience to make smaller levers inside the classroom using blocks, rulers, pennies, rocks, and pompoms. We will introduce the appropriate words such as "load", "effort", and "fulcrum" and we will figure out how many pennies it takes the raise the rock load. I will do my best to be fascinating. There may be squeals of joy and pompoms flying through the air, but no more "No more fun."
Thanks for reading,
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!
"The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!" - Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
The Spinosaurus
Perhaps you like listening to and collecting phrases like I do. Our Montessori classrooms are great theaters for listening. Three, four, and five-year-olds are intensely thoughtful and they tell us so much about themselves just by talking with their friends.
This week I had the pleasure of working in the Willow, River Birch, and Canoe Birch classes and I collected as many fabulous phrases from the children as I could. The words are theirs, the spelling is mine.
On being the first to arrive... "The only time I'm not first is when Mommy brings me. Daddy is faster than Mommy."
"Frogs lay eggs, right? Butterflies lay eggs, right?"
"I had my birthday before my brother's."
"Our grandpa makes a Donald Duck sound."
While drawing dinosaurs with friends... "It's a Spinosaurus. It's the biggest carnivore on land and it's name means lizard. It reaches in the water just a little bit and snatches a fish with it's crocodile long snout."
"A drobeosaurus has toe claws and it goes 25 miles an hour."
A different dinosaur friend... "It runs 100 and 90 hours. He has a bunch of blood in his body. It's called Spinadoctora Hundreds."
"At my house I have five lipsticks. No, six."
A child was looking for a bike to ride on the playground. I asked, "I see that blue bike is available. Would you like to ride that one?" "No! he said. "I just fell off that one."
"I'm trying to sing Let it Go, in German, but it's too hard." (The children in one class burst into singing "Let it Go" from the movie Frozen at least six times in one morning:)
"Being in the sun is so much fun."
"Will you do something interesting?"
I like to listen to teachers, as well. I overheard a few of them talking about the possibility of having a couple of chickens at school and which type might be best suited to be Montessori chickens.
"They're good egg layers, the Wyandotte's. "And they're peaceful."
"I am concerned about them getting upset and flying up into the pine tree."
"There is a 100% chance of them getting upset."
Wyandotte chick
May all your chickens be peaceful as you enjoy some fun in the sun this holiday weekend.

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.

In 1946, young Claire Fejes was a painter and sculptor in New York City. She held the unconventional view that her career was as important as her husband's. But the custom was "whither thou goest, I will go," so Claire went—to Fairbanks, last stop on the Alaska Railroad, in the heart of the immense northern territory, where Joe Fejes intended to mine for gold. In her refreshingly candid memoir, Fejes tells of a remote outpost where a hardy breed of Alaskans overcomes loneliness and of her own soul-aching artistic and cultural isolation. She describes characters such as Eva McGown, a one-woman social-service agency who wears powerful violet perfume and speaks with a sweet Irish brogue; and Fabian Carey, a trapper who loves the wilderness as fervently as he does opera, literature, and art. Like her vivid paintings, the author portrays the men and women for whom survival and self-sufficiency is foremost in post-war Alaska.

Ald. Sandi Jackson misses budget vote
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall email@example.com November 15, 2012 3:40PM
Updated: November 15, 2012 8:21PM
Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th) stayed away from City Hall Thursday, missing a vote on Mayor Rahm Emanuel's budget, the most important City Council vote of the year.
Her front-and-center seat in the City Council chambers remained vacant as a phalanx of reporters recently referred to as "jackals" by Jackson waited to ambush her.
Jackson's husband, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., is under federal investigation for possible misuse of campaign dollars. This week, the congressman was released from the Mayo Clinic, his second round of treatment at the Minnesota facility for depression, since his extended absence from congress that began June 10th.
The Sun-Times first reported last month that before Jackson left Congress in June for treatment of bipolar depression, the FBI in the Washington D.C. field office had been investigating Jackson due to alleged "suspicious activity" of how he used his campaign funds.
Sources said that the investigation has raised questions about to what extent his wife knew about the alleged improper activity. Sandi Jackson's firm, Donatella & Associates, is paid upwards of $100,000 a year out of her husband's campaign fund as a "consultant."
After Thursday's budget vote, Emanuel said his staff got a heads-up that Jackson would be a no-show and he cut the alderman some slack.
"It doesn't take a lot to know that she's balancing a lot — both as a mother, as a spouse, as a public servant.
"I've got to be honest. It's not like, with a vote of 46-to-3, that the [outcome] hung in the balance. What I think is more important is not what Ald. Jackson did or didn't show up….It's essential that the congressman begin a conversation with his constituents about his intentions and his actions."
But, if Sandi Jackson won't even show up for a budget vote, the mayor was asked how she can possibly serve the residents of her Far South Side Ward.
"I'm not sure I buy that and, more important is what her constituents will buy or not buy for a budget vote," the mayor said.
"All of us know that this is a unique moment in time for her as both a spouse and a parent, let alone as an alderman and she'll make those decisions. I don't think, for the budget, it was essential [that she show up]. I do think that it's essential for the congressman, who's been out for a while, to begin his conversation with his constituents about his intentions."

The collection of more than 30 pieces is another attempt by the Delta Arts Alliance to provide young local artists with the opportunity of displaying their talents.
All work was done by students from Delta State University art professor Cetin Oguz's classes.
"Each drawing in this series was created collaboratively," said Oguz. "Students drew freely for three minutes and they passed their drawings clockwise for the next three-minute cycle. This process was repeated for 2 hours."
The procedure was based on the exquisite corpse technique, a method by which a collection of words, images or drawings is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence.
"The concept starts with one person and then another person continues," added Oguz. "Then we end up with ideas that one person normally wouldn't have come up with by themself."
Students begin by creating a mark on the paper surface whether bold, loose, subtle or implied. Every mark created impacts or determines the next mark added by the other students.
At the end of the process the accumulation of these marks ultimately shapes and defines the space.
"We all leave a trace of ourselves wherever we go, whether subtle or bold, casual or elegant," said Oguz. "Every mark we leave behind effects the outcome of the next person or situation. So, collectively as a whole, our reality is defined over time."
Delta Arts Alliance Executive Director Jonathan Jenkins said aspiring artists deserve to make their marks in the exhibit setting as well.
"This exhibit shows the students that their work is validated by their peers and the community," said Jenkins. "We hope this helps continue to grow opportunities for local young artists."
All pieces on display will be for sale for $100, with all proceeds going to the Mary Ann Ross Memorial Fund.
This fund supplements the education of DSU students by providing assistance for travel, workshops and visiting artist programs.
Tonight's opening event will feature a live performance by the students to exemplify the exquisite corpse technique.
"We want to thank the Delta Arts Alliance for recognizing our emerging artists and young people in the community," said Oguz. "These opportunities give the artists a reason to stay here."
The gallery will be on display until Feb. 15. Contact the DAA at 662-843-3344 for more details.

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
Satrosphere's Summer of Space includes science on the spot live science demonstrations, "We are Aliens" the 360° planetarium show, awesome Astronaut Training Workshops and Magic Planet story time for the little scientists. There is also a really exciting addition arriving mid-July: Lunar Rock!
