I'll Put A Trinket On
Autumn Poplars along the River Epte - Claude Monet |
Autumn
by Emily Dickinson
by Emily Dickinson
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.

Teachable Moment: Is This JFK's Best Speech?
President Kennedy at the American University, June 10, 1963. |
John F. Kennedy's speech at the American University in June 1963, is considered by many to be the best speech ever given by an American president. We aren't in a position to listen to all speeches by American presidents--but through modern technology, we can listen to Kennedy's major speeches and ask students make a decision which speech they think is the best and why.
Here is a link to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum for the video of the speech.
Commencement Address at American University, June 10, 1963 http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/BWC7I4C9QUmLG9J6I8oy8w.aspx
Here is the text of the speech.
Primary Resources: American University Speech, 1963
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/primary-resources/jfk-university/
Here are links to American Rhetoric to other of JFK's major speeches:
delivered 20 January 1961
Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Program
delivered 12 September 1962, Rice Stadium, Houston, Texas
Civil Rights Address
delivered 11 June 1963
This last speech is concerning education, given at San Diego State University in June 1963. I would also like to mention that the state of California still supports education, as demonstrated by the Dream Act that this state's citizens voted for--voluntarily giving ourselves more taxes to develop our greatest resource: our young people.
President John F. Kennedy's 1963 Commencement Speech at San Diego State
"As a nation, we have no deeper concern, no older commitment and no
higher interest than a strong, sound and free system of education for
all. In fulfilling this obligation to ourselves and our children, we
provide for the future of our nation-and for the future of freedom."
Listening to these speeches now, from the view of 2013, we must pause to consider what might be the products of JFK's rhetoric--peace did eventually break between the Soviet Union and the USA, astronouts did walk on the moon, the Berlin Wall did go down, Civil Rights continue to develop and we continue to develop our greatest resource: our young people. JFK mentioned Special Education in the San Diego speech, and Senator Edward Kennedy sponsored the American with Disabilities Act (IDEA) which funded and organized Special Education on a national level.

Autumn Activity: Kids' Indoor Herb Garden
Ceramic turkey is staring us down with that beady little eye. |
Live herbs are in grocery stores. |
Basil is a little more delicate. |
The most popular herbs to grow in a kitchen are sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano, marjoram, mint, basil, parsley, and lesser known, tarragon.Sage is
Bees really, really love mint. |
These herbs are not only for Thanksgiving, Christimas and New Year's sidedishes and soups, but are also excellent for Italian sauces, pizzas, and Mexican food. Kids can learn about cooking while gardening.
Light, warmth, water equals herbs. |
Here are a few links with recipes of mine that kids can participate with; I am far from an expert in cooking and gardening but it is so refreshing and interesting we can all enjoy it. Cooking with kids is really fun and simple--and hanging out with them cooks up some delicious memories.

Cheesy Football Jokes And A Pep Talk From Bill Walsh
What do you put in the N zone to stop
the other team from scoring?
A Scorecrow.
Where do hungry football players play?
In the Supper Bowl.
What did the football say to the punter?
"I get a kick out of you."
Why do coaches like punters?
Because punters always put
their best foot forward.
What do you call a lineman's kids?
Chips off the old blocker.
What football player should you be suspicious of?
The quarterback sneak.
The saga continues.
Why did the football coach go
to the bank?
A: To get his quarter back!
Q: How do football players stay cool during the game? A: They stand close to the fans?
Which football team cooks gourmet meals together?
The Kansas City Chefs.
Now, Bill Walsh, that's the coach of coaches.
He wrote some very positive advice for teachers and everyone who works with kids.
"Kids who take part in any sport get to feel the euphoria of victory, but they also learn how to deal with loss.""Having to play a role determined by coaches, whether it is exactly what a player hopes for or not, teaches the acceptance of authority -- but not an automatic, robotic acceptance."
"Athletes have to also understand that anxiety is not a flaw, and that overcoming it is possible -- and sometimes a lot easier than they thought."
"The social elements of team sports have far-reaching effects. Team members develop the ability to communicate under stress. They learn to respect others whether they like them or not, and if a team is ethically coached, its members also are taught to respect their opponents no matter how fierce the rivalry."
Bill Walsh, one of the best ever coaches |

Every Teacher Is A Reading Teacher
Your credential could be elementary or secondary. Your classroom could
have algebra all over the board, or pictures of the Civil War on the
wall. Your students could be taking Cornell notes on the scientific
method. You are still a reading teacher.
Effective teaching includes opportunities for auditory and visual
instruction, throwing in activities to solidify the lesson through
verbalization by the students in teams and maybe kinesthetic involvement
also, like my math teaching collaborators, creating a foldable
pamphlet. Many students in the US are now learning English as a second
language, and what teachers in the higher grades would normally assume
the students had down solid in reading may be necessary to introduce.
http://www.ncte.org/library/NCTEFiles/Resources/PolicyResearch/ELLResearchBrief.pdf
Reading academic language (or actually, any material) is a new experience for many kids. They were not exposed to the basics of reading the English language. And let's face it, English is a booger to learn, full of rules and then rules that don't apply. Ay yi yi!
http://www.readingrockets.org/teaching/about_reading/
A word rich environment never goes out of style, no matter what grade.
Hurrah for the word wall! The students can see the words, and the
importance of words, and correct spelling. And in our world learning is
increasingly auditory, so kids have marvelous working vocabularies of
words and concepts from the Discovery Channel or the History
Channel--but have never seen the words written down. Therefore, they
usually don't recognize hundreds of words for which they know the
meaning because they've only heard the word, never seen it written and
connected it with the meaning. And the reading skills necessary to
access the word may not be in their skill set.

It is interesting to find out your personal learning preferences, and help students to identify her own.
http://www.personal.psu.edu/bxb11/LSI/LSI.htm
What can a teacher do without sacrificing crucial academic time? Give
kids lots of opportunities to read, read, read. Every teacher has new
vocabulary at the beginning of the chapter. Take a minute to
write the word, syllabicate the word, decode the syllables for the kids,
and then have them repeat it. Having students syllabicate, decode and
read make the kids less anxious about words with several syllables. I
know that literacy coaches with reading certificates can get high and
mighty about the precision of syllabication, but if you're teaching a
seventh grade science class that is having difficulty with the academic
vocabulary--just go for it! Quick and dirty--infer in fer, support sup
port, formulate for mu late....and if the students don't remember the
essential decoding phonics--what the hey-- just tell them the sound er
makes, or what silent e does, or when two vowels go walking the first
does the talking. For heavens sake, if they need it, they need it! It
truly doesn't take long for kids to catch on to decoding. And reading is
so very empowering.
http://www.readingrockets.org/teaching/reading101/fluency/
http://www.readingrockets.org/helping/target/phonics/
Lessons to SYLLABICATE DECODE CONTEXT are used for kids to analyze
unfamiliar words in passages. They could be reading along, then boom! an
unknown word of scary length. What's a kid to do? Skip the word? NO!
Syllabicate the word, sound it out, then read the surrounding context
for clues as to the meaning. There are many, many techniques for reading
comprehension. But reading fluency also needs to be addressed, and most
instruction is supposedly completed in elementary. Frequently the kids
need to be reacquainted with decoding and it is so very empowering for
the students to read words fluently; the brief and frequent reminder to
syllabicate, decode and read is totally worth the time and effort for
all teachers.
http://www.readingrockets.org/article/3479/
Every teacher teaches reading. It is a privilege for me to collaborate in classes where literacy is propagated and honored. My colleagues train constantly for perfection of methods, and meet very frequently to co-plan lessons. What a huge job. What a huge privilege.
The last three years in our middle school I have collaborated with several math teachers, usually seventh grade. They incorporate all methods for the kids' progress in language, reading, and writing as well as Math standards. It is amazing how thoroughly they coordinate instruction for all students (including my students.)
So, although the official Pi Day is not until March 14, I honor my colleagues, who for reasons unknown to me are obsessed with Pi.
