Painted Pumpkins

This year I decided I didn't want the mess of carving pumpkins. We decided to paint instead;


 I don't think it was any cleaner though.

Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom

-

We live in a society where we come across people from different cultures every day. I think more people move to live in other countries than ever before.  People moving to different countries means cross-cultural experiences in the classroom for students and teachers. When I was eight my parents moved to the United States. My dad was in the RAF (Royal Air Force) and had been advised to send my older sister and me to boarding school. The thought behind it was that moving to the States and the difference in education would affect our long-term education. My parents didn't agree, they thought that moving to another country as a family and having new experiences together would be better for us. So as a nine-year-old I started school on a military base in the middle of Nebraska. I had a great experience and it was my first experience being in a different culture. Although English and Americans speak the same language (debatable sometimes) I was definitely experiencing a different style ...

Attributional Tendencies

We all make judgments all the time. It is a part of our human nature and how we protect ourselves to some extent. If someone doesn't feel safe we stay away from them etc... What is attribution - from what I've read it can be explained like this, Attribution is how we explain or try to explain why something happened or why someone behaves the way they do.  The funny thing about attribution is that they are made up of our own biases and experiences.

Creative Freewriting Adventure - Home School Adventure Co. {TOS Review}

Boo was thrilled with one of our latest reviews. She has been working on her  creative writing  skills using  Home School Adventure Co's  Creative Freewriting Adventure. She's been using it along side their  Creative Freewriting Adventure Coloring book  and loving every minute! What Boo loved the most about this is that it allows her to be creative without having to start from scratch. The program is designed to help the student have fun and that's just what Boo has said about it. Boo loves to write but sometimes gets frustrated when she has to rewrite the same piece over and over to improve it. By the end of the assignment she's emotionally done with the piece and all the initial enjoyment is gone. With this program we have taken that away - In fact I haven't even graded or marked these papers in anyway. I hope that's the way it was intended to be used as that's what I got from the instructions. In my mind it said to me 'bring back the joy in writi...
