Eliminating Recess: Depriving Kids in More Ways Than You Think

As schools around the country push hard to reduce and eliminate recess time, child development and behavioral experts are pushing back even harder. There’s a good reason to keep up the fight – while children find growth through scholastic development, they’re reaping a different kind of benefit in the play yard. It’s where they have organic opportunities for social development and partake in healthy physical activity that reinvigorates body and brain.

Taking the arts digital to support a well-rounded education

https://www.educationdive.com/news/taking-the-arts-digital-to-support-a-well-rounded-education/560381/

An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) attempts to not only identify areas of challenge for a student—fine motor skills, language development, reading and comprehension, written and verbal language skills, social interaction, etc.—but to also put a mechanism in place to address those challenges. While the intentions behind an IEP are good, much work remains to be done. Curriculum itself must be personalized in order to truly meet the needs of students with learning disabilities.

MzTeachuh's Meditations: The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength

Acknowledging that life is not easy, here is the full verse:

And do not be worried, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold. Amplified Bible

Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." New Living Translation

I believe this means there is hope, Someone has the power to bring life and healing, and is working on it.

Since joy is not all happy dances and frivolity, here is Bach's take on joy:

String Trio & Trumpet - J. S. Bach Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
