Storyworks and the Power of Choice
Editor's note: Allie Spiva, 4th-grade teacher advisor from Florida, takes great advantage of the engaging articles in Storyworks, especially in late spring when she wants to keep her students focused. She has developed a "Make a Choice Monday" strategy that allows her class to use articles and debates that they want to explore further, but couldn't tie into their previous curriculum units. This has been so successful for Allie that others on her grade level team are implementing it, and now she's sharing it with you!
Why this strategy? I need both fun and skill-building actitivities to engage my kiddos at this point in the year! Storyworks always provides amazing articles that keep kids engrossed in text-based discussions.
How it works: Students may choose to work independently, with a partner, or in groups of three.
I circulate the room and guide discussion as needed. Some kids have chosen to go digital with free tools like making cartoons (www.powtoon.com) or a video (www.wevideo.com). Others choose to create comic strips, write scripts and put on a play, and some have even elected to write essays!
I give my students about an hour to read and complete their presentations.
It's that simple. And it's yet another way to get more out of my subscription. That's why I wanted to share this strategy with my fellow Storyworks teachers!
Use This Standard App to Assess Comprehension
Editor's note: Our favorite library media specialists from New York, the Link Ladies, are back with another totally doable app-style learning lesson that's perfect for grades 3-5! If you're intimidated by apps in the classroom, this is a great way to start. For this lesson, students use the Photos app (yes, the one that comes automatically on your iPhone and iPad!) to create poems reacting to Storyworks content. This idea offers a blended learning-type approach to reading comprehension practice.
The app:
Why we use it:
We are taking a standard app to the next level. Students love taking photos with their devices. Here is an idea on how to bump this standard app up a notch to use it to assess comprehension.
Skill focus:
- Comprehension
- Main idea
- Poetry writing
- Vocabulary
One class period
What you'll need:
- A Storyworks article (Any will do—we used the play The Bird Saver from the May/June issue.)
- iPads
Lesson idea:
Your students will use an image from the Storyworks article as inspiration for a creative poem. The poetry will be focused on their understanding of the article. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the content or main idea of the article through an original poem. Encourage students to use the target vocabulary words highlighted in the text. They can use the formatting tools right in the Photos app to create their poem!
Instructions for students:
1. Open the Camera app and take a photo of your favorite article in Storyworks. Focus in on a photo or text feature, rather than taking a photo of the whole article. Here's an example:
2. In the top right corner, click "Edit." This will take you to the Photos app.
3. Click the circle with the three dots and select "Markup."
4. In this Markup tool, you can add text and customize it to create your poem. To add text, click the circle with the plus sign at the bottom right then choose "Text." Choose the font, size, style and color to customize your poem.
5. Double click a text box to change what the text says. Continue adding additional text boxes to create your poem about the picture.
You can then share your students' poems. Pop them into a class poetry book in Book Creator. Add them to the class webpage. Post them on Twitter. Turn them into your Google Classroom page or simply print them out. Imagine the possibilities you've just opened by taking an app you use everyday into the classroom as a learning tool!
Bring Some Fun Into Your Classroom With Reader's Theater
Editor's note: Kriscia Cabral is a Scholastic Top Teaching blogger and a big fan of Storyworks. Kriscia loves to use reader's theater in her class to build fluency and get kids working together in a unique way. Check out her strategy below and try it in your classroom for some post-testing fun!
I love reader's theater, and it's a big part of my classroom. We do a weekly reader's theater presentation using every read-aloud play provided in Storyworks. The first time we did it, the students wanted to act it out for the class instead of simply reading it from their desks. One group got the idea of adding scenes and props. Another group thought it would be fun to intrepret the story as a puppet show! My favorite part of this strategy is that it gives me an opportunity to hand over learning to my students and let them take the lead.
- Fluency
- Comprehension
- Collaboration
- Compromise
- Presentation skills
The Lesson:
- First, I have students form groups. Often they pick their groups themselves, but sometimes I select them based on reading groups, or if I want them to work as a mix of high, medium and low readers. I also have the kids assign their own roles within their groups.
- Then, students decide how they want to present the play to the class. Sometimes this takes the form of a puppet show, or a podcast with students recording themselves with different voices, or a live-action play. Each group gets to select how they'd like to present the play. The possibilities are so exciting for the kids!
- What I love most about Storyworks reader's theater is that the plays usually tell a story that my students have never heard. Many times it's based on an event in history that they can learn from.
- We often take our productions "on the road" and share with other classes and grade levels who sign up to experience our productions. My kids bring their magazine copies along to share with audience members. This reinforces our school-wide cultural of literacy and community. And we always have time at the end for rich discussions among all of the students, sharing what performers learned from their interpretation of the play.
I love this activity, because it lets students take charge of their own learning and build skills while having tons of fun!
Student-Led Learning: Choose Your Own Adventure!
Editor's note: We've been seeing so many Genius Teacher Ideas on Twitter lately, and this one from Kentucky 4th-grade teacher Katelyn Callahan really caught our attention! We love her fun approach to student-led learning with a Choose Your Own Adventure game.
I have an "in love" relationship with Storyworks and was looking for a way to incorporate more of its texts and activities in my classroom. This year my school chose to pilot a new reading program, which left less time for me to use Storyworks. But then I came up with my Choose Your Own Adventure activity, honestly, as a way to bring Storyworks back into my classroom on a more regular basis. Here I lay out four "paths" for students to follow: Literature, Informational, Social Studies, and Language Arts. Students progress through four levels in each path and earn badges when they complete a level. This gives students ownership of their learning, and makes it fun for them! Every issue of Storyworks comes with Literature and Informational texts, each with their own focus skill so it's super easy to fit into my game-like skills practice. Plus, the Storyworks online resources are lifesavers, as they provide multiple skills sheets so my students are working on more than one standard as a time with one text. Here's how I put this activity together:
What You Need:
- Materials for each path. Storyworks is my go-to for the Literature and Informational learning paths. I have a few Language Arts and Social Studies resource books, but I have been pulling instructional videos in where I can from BrainPop, LearnZillion, and PowToons. When it comes time for students to reflect on their learning, FlipGrid is the way to go.
- For badges, you can use my template!
Build Your Doc:
I use a Google Doc so that each student can make their own copy from Classroom. For me, this is a 5-page document: a title page to access each path directly, and one page per learning path. Each path is linked to its page for easy access, or students can just scroll down until they locate the path they are looking for.
Individual Pages:
Next comes the individual pages for each learning path. For each, I built a table with enough room for four different levels (or activities) for students to complete, the text they are reading from, and the intended learning target.
After determining your learning target and text(s) to be used, start developing your levels. I wanted my levels to build in complexity toward the learning target as they go up, and I wanted to incorporate writing, too. This is my approach:
- Level One: General comprehension skill of the text
- Level Two: Comprehension quiz on Google Form
- Level Three: Deeper skill practice of the intended learning target
- Level Four: Apply the skill through writing
Leveling Up:
Once students complete a level, they can move on to the next activity while waiting for me to check their work.
Checking Work and Providing Feedback:
During this time each day, my only job is circling around and providing feedback. Students know to hold onto their completed work until I get to their table. I check each student's progress, provide feedback, pass them on to the next level, and automatically update our Badge Tracking Board (see above).
Tracking Progress:
I created a Google Sheet to keep track of student progress as they work their way through the levels. An "X" means they passed the level. If there is a "2" in a space, it means they need to take a second look. I publish this to the web for students to access each day before they get started. A colored row means they earned a badge!
Earning Badges:
The ultimate goal of each learning path is for the student to earn the badge to show mastery and completion of that adventure. They do this by responding to a FlipGrid, posted at the bottom of each adventure page.
Each FlipGrid requires them to answer two different types of questions: Skill and Reflection. The first shows that they have mastered the learning target and understand the skill. The second requires them to use the skill in making a connection to the real world. When they're able to answer both, they have earned the badge!
High Interest Nonfiction for Test Prep
Editor's note: We've been thrilled to see how teachers are using Storyworks Jr. for test prep! This is how Sarah DeWit, a 3rd-grade teacher at Jane Long Elementary in Richmond, Texas, approaches the nonfiction and paired texts in every issue of Storyworks Jr. Steal her strategy!
I use the nonfiction text and paired texts most often because they always grab the kids' interest. Here's my five-step plan for teaching "Blood, Smoke, and Freedom" from the March/April issue.
- We start by using the Vocabulary Slideshows to predict the topic and explain words readers might struggle with.
- Then the kids' favorite: videos. Those are great hooks and lead to engaging classroom discussions. By the time my students are ready to read, they have found purpose.
- After our first read, we use the "Think About It" activity sheets with close-reading questions in small groups.
- Each group answers a question and presents it to the class. Students agree or disagree with answers, helping iron out misconceptions or take conversations to a deeper level.
- We also use the skill-based activities to review skills.
The articles in Storyworks Jr., fiction or nonfiction, push kids to read above level. They are able to do so, and feel successful, because of the high-interest topics. I hope my strategy works in your classroom!
Digging Deeper Into Vocab With Word Power
Editor's note: We found 4th grade teacher Leslie Smothers on Twitter, and we couldn't be happier to be in touch with her! Leslie uses Storyworks in super-creative ways, and we love her strategy for digging deeper with our short nonfiction feature Word Power, on the first pages of every issue of Storyworks and Storyworks Jr. The best part: She's provided you with step-by-step instructions and her printable activity sheets!
Teachers are always searching for ways to increase student vocabulary and enhance student writing. Word Power in each issue of Storyworks can do just that! With this text, my students enjoy the word hunt and, with a "shades of meaning" activity, they dig deeper into vocabulary. Shades of meaning is a vocabulary strategy that shows students the subtle differences in words that are viewed as synonyms. For example, would you rather your principal was furious or mad at you? See what I mean?
My students LOVED "Death by...Chili Pepper?" in the March/April 2018 issue of Storyworks. Here's how I used this strategy with that story:
- After reading the text, they went on a word hunt to find four synonyms for spicy.
- Once they discovered the words in the text, students evaluated which word had the strongest and weakest meaning. They had to not only justify answers, but also draw a picture of each word. The justification is simply putting their rationale for each choice on paper, while the pictures help with both vocabulary retention and understanding.
- To take it one step deeper, students searched for an antonym for spicy in the Word Power text. There is only one.
- Once located, they determined four synonyms for this word on their own. Per my students, this was much more challenging because they had to reply on their own vocabulary knowledge compared to searching the text for synonyms. Similar to the previous activity, students evaluate the synonyms for strongest and weakest meanings. This included justification and pictures of words selected.
Here is a printable PDF of my Shades of Meaning Vocabulary Strategy activity that correlates with the Word Power in the March/April 2018 issue of Storyworks.
Want to use it with future Storyworks Word Power text? Here is a Universal Shades of Meaning Vocabulary Strategy activity that has the word box blank!
I hope your students love this vocabulary building activity as much as mine!
Student Choice Drives STAAR Test Prep
- Illustrate your favorite part of the story
- Retell your favorite part
- Summarize the article
- Initiate a specific conversation to talk about connections you've made within the article
- Create a different ending to the article
Five Ways to Use Storyworks for Test Prep
We've wrangled some of our favorite Texas teachers to share creative and effective ways they are using Storyworks to help students review and prepare for STAAR tests. Fourth-grade teacher extraordinaire Kristen Cruikshank, from Richmond, Texas shares her top 5 test-prep ideas, including links to app activities she's thoughtfully developed.
Three things that are always on teacher's minds are:
- How can I prepare my students for the state test without the same drill-and-kill questions and answers routine?
- How can I teach them when they are tired of reading passage after passage and answering questions?
- Where can I find texts in all genres that are engaging enough to keep them interested and on task?
Teachers, look no further than your current March/April issue of Storyworks. In this post, you'll find five ways to use this issue of Storyworks to prepare your students for the state test.
1. Write STAAR stem questions
Use the Storyworks texts to write your own STAAR-style questions! It will greatly benefit your students to expose them to the format of questions they'll see on test day. If you haven't already, go through the past years' tests and cut up the questions and answer choices. Bind them together by genre so you have easy access to test-question styles when you're writing your own!
Here are some examples of STAAR stem questions written for the Word Power feature, "Death by Chili Pepper."
1. The reader can conclude that
a. Eating chili peppers is not as dangerous as people may think.
b. People should use caution when eating chili peppers.
c. Eating a small amount of a chili pepper will not be spicy.
d. Caution should not be used with capsaicin.
2. Read the dictionary definition for the word milder.
1. not sharp, pungent, or strong
2. showing gentleness
3. not cold or extreme weather
4. not serious
Which definition best matches the way milder is used in the sentence "They are thousands of times spicier than their milder cousins"?
a. Definition 1
b. Definition 2
c. Definition 3
d. Definition 4
2. Teach students to deconstruct
One huge component of the STAAR test is making sure students know how to answer the questions by understanding the question vocabulary. Make sure your students can "take apart" the questions and understand what they really mean, so they're able to understand how to answer them. Use the STAAR stem questions you write for each text for practice! Create a Quizlet kids can play to review these difficult words and their meanings! Here's an example using the vocabulary words from "Two Miles for a Drink of Water." This would be easy to create with STAAR question vocabulary!
3. Annotate
Readers naturally think in their heads while they read. What isn't natural for them is to write down their thinking as they are reading. With STAAR, we want kids to "annotate," or write down what's happening to them while they read. Are they making connections to the text, making inferences, defining a difficult vocabulary word as they read, or feeling an emotion? Teaching your students to annotate allows them to jot down their thinking though codes in the text. This will help them comprehend the text and quickly locate points in the text to refer back to when they're answering test questions. Plus you'll get a great visual of how they read the text, since we can't read their minds like we so often wish we could! Padlet is a free and fun way to connect to kids thinking while they are reading. Here's an example using "History of Teeth" from the December 2017/January 2018 issue.
4. Build stamina
For the STAAR Reading test, students need to be prepared to read passages with questions in all genres within a 4-hour time limit. Storyworks provides these genres for you by exposing students to rich and engaging texts to read, with additional activities for students to practice comprehension skills. Give students the gift of time and allow them to simply read while practicing staying focused on a text for an extended period of time.
5. Master genre knowledge
Test out their knowledge on each genre with this STAAR Genre Review Kahoot.
You'll really see what your kids know and which areas still need refining. While you explore each Storyworks text, create a genre gallery walk. Divide students up into small groups and assign each group a genre of text. Have them comb through the text and determine what identifies the genre, important vocabulary they need to know in each genre, and what types of question stems could be asked in each genre, as well as common misconceptions.
I wish you and your students success on test day. Good luck!
A Fun STAAR Prep Game
The idea behind this 3-week unit is to get students ready for the STAAR test with engaging short texts. Storyworks is a great tool for this since it's a one-stop shop for a variety of genres. Week one is nonfiction, week two is fiction, and week three is paired texts.
We've noticed that half the battle for students is understanding what the question is asking them. We aim to help them suss that out by breaking down the questions over several days. To prepare, we hang questions around the room. These questions came from the Storyworks Teacher's Guide, STAAR sentence stems, and our own ideas. Each student gets an activity sheet:
We take it slow and work on these sheets all week, breaking down the process as follows:
- Day 1: In pairs, students read the question with no answer choices and discuss what they think it's asking. They write the question in their own words on their activity sheet.
- Day 2: Student pairs answer the question in their own words.
- Day 3: The answer choices are revealed and students fill out the last column of their sheet.
- Day 4: They do basically the same thing as days 1-3, but independently and in one day rather than 3.
This process repeats for each genre each week.
How the game works:
- Each sheet has three "lives" (the Marios in the upper right corner). Every time students seek teacher help, they lose a life—this encourages independent thinking. However, they can ask other students for help or input anytime without losing a life.
- Students get a coin for every right answer. So if there are 15 questions and 3 columns, they can earn 45 coins for that one activity.
- If they get all questions right the first time, they get full points. They don't earn coins for the ones they miss. This encourages them to slow down and use their strategies, including checking for text evidence.
- Students keep track of their coins in their coin account paper.
- At the end of the unit, they can trade in their coins for prizes. These can be candy, pencils, extra recess time, whatever you want!
A STAAR Prep Egg Hunt
Editor's note: We know you've got STAAR test prep on your minds, so we want to remind you that Storyworks Jr. can be the secret sauce for targeted skills practice during this important review period. We're thrilled to spotlight Kyndra Hartzler, 3rd grade teacher from Texas, who's determined to keep her test prep engaging. This past week Kyndra began her STAAR prep with an EGG-cellent, spring-themed activity (you know we couldn't resist the pun!).
I love that Storyworks Jr. has so many genres to use as review for our reading benchmark, and as a tool to help students prepare for STAAR. Here's how I used Storyworks Jr. in a fun, spring-themed test prep game!
- First, I grouped texts by genre from various issues.
- Then, I paired genres with a specific skill that my students were struggling with, like summarizing, sequencing, inference, main idea, or vocabulary.
- About two weeks prior to the benchmark, during blended learning rotations, pairs of students were given a strategy to try as they read the article together. Each article had a certain color egg associated with it and questions based on student needs.
- After reading, the kids found eggs hidden around the classroom (or outside!) that corresponded to their article. Each egg contained one question. Students worked together to identify the question type, use their strategies, and prove their answers. Collaboration and discussion between partners was key!
- Students also wrote their own questions and answer choices for their friends, to really enforce those tricky skills.
This activity was very effective practice because students knew the article and saw the benefit of reading and rereading the passage. The questions hit the strategies that needed review, and students loved running around searching for eggs. They didn't even know they were prepping for Benchmark or STAAR! They were having fun while learning and showing strategy competence. We love Storyworks Jr. because engagement is high, the stories build empathy and character, and it offers so many ways to extend learning. Wishing you all good luck with testing!

It was a fine time of year to go, cool but not chilly, and the colorful trees painted a picture we will never forget. After enjoying this view for some time, we entered the museum where Indian relics and pictures are kept, such an abundance of things one could spend much more time than we did, though We covered it pretty well. I thought of Clark Orton who is interested in their history.

I had never known that the teepees were made of bark. I had supposed that all were made of animal skins, tapering to a point making a cone shaped dwelling. These bark teepees are round, and looked like Eskimo igloos. One had an "Indian" lying on a blanket close to the fire, a gun across his body, ready for inquisitive "Whites" I presume, or animals. *' * '* The other teepee was arranged so we could, enter it and there were two bunk beds on two sides of the "house". How a large family could be stowed \n these small places is more, than we could imagine, and the cooking must have been done in the middle of .he floor, except in summer of course.

Even I —for I had Hazel buy me a lipstick, a brand I had been threatening to use for some time and had not remembered previously. » • • We spent a couple of hours with the McDougalls and tried to tell them all the news of Algona. I think we did a good job. They have a very cozy home, "Mac" is with the Botsford Lumber Yard and they like Winona very much They showed us pictures of the cruiser Mac and a friend had made and they had a wonderful time during the summer, cruising, fishing and camping out: It is a wonderful "play ground". The son Bob is married and is in service. • * * Driving out of Winona to Rochester we again saw the beautiful hills but after a few miles bade them adieu till some future time. We drove around Rochester for my benefit. The others had been there but my hospital experiences had been in Chicago and Iowa City. Rochester is a fine place to be LEAVING! With all the medical and surgical background ;he town has, I was on the alert lest some one approach me and demand my appendix or at least an adenoid. We escaped without molestation, I am happy to say. * * * The finale was lunch at "Frank and Em's", right here in the old home town, and a phone call to my Mrs Gilles to let her know we were home, safe, sound happy and satisfied. It was good news to her as it was a foggy, rainy night, no time for three gals to be on the highways after dark.

Important notice to so-called "marketing mavens", "marketing experts", "social media experts" and others who think the rules of human emotions and human decision-making have been suspended just because we have websites, blogs, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube: They haven't. You so-called marketing geniuses out there may have more gee-whiz new tools with which to over stimulate us, annoy us and dazzle us but humans still make buying decisions the same way we always have: We may buy a Bible from a door-to-door traveling salesman or a ice cream cone from a street vendor, but humans don't usually buy marketing services or other professional services from strangers if there is a non-stranger available to provide that service. When it comes to professional services, we prefer to buy from people with whom we have a relationship and with whom we share some mutual friends. No number of annoying Tweets or clever YouTube videos will change that.
Don't get the marketing cart in front of the relationship horse. Yes, I may buy a pair of boots from Zappos.com even though I don't know anybody at Zappos.com, but I won't buy a professional service from you just because you have a nice website or because you Tweet me 20 times a day. In fact, if you annoy me and disrespect me and waste my time and become a nuisance to me I am likely to "unfollow" you, "unfriend" you and remove my LinkedIn connection to you.
Humans make decisions emotionally then justify those decisions intellectually. We buy from people we know, trust and like when possible. I don't have to have a relationship with you to buy a cup of coffee or a car or a house from you but if I'm buying something that will entail having meetings with you, exchanging a lot of emails with you, talking to you a lot on the phone and, really, entering into an ongoing relationship with you, I'm going to have to like you.
These rules of human decision-making are not suspended because you pester me with your gee whiz new social media platforms. In fact, these gee-whiz social media platforms, if misused, cause the rules of human decision-making to actually work against you. In the age of Twitter, email and YouTube I can decide I think you're a jerk in New York minute whereas, back in the old days, it may have taken you weeks or months to show me you're an inconsiderate jerk.
Frankly, if a marketer doesn't have the social intelligence and the understanding of human emotions to know these things without being told, I would never trust such a person with my brand. Chances are, if you annoy me and try to sell me stuff before you have a relationship with me, you'll do that with my clients and customers making your insensitive jerk brand my brand, too.
Let's review: Humans still make buying decisions emotionally and then justify those decisions intellectually. Humans seldom buy a "relationship" or professional service from a stranger if a non-stranger is available to provide the same service. People seldom buy professional services or relationships from people they don't like. These rules have not been suspended by the advent of the social media age.
And I'm still more likely to buy a professional service from you if you are referred to me by someone I trust no matter how much you try to dazzle me or pester me via social media.
Use social media to start a relationship with me, not to sell me something.

So now that the winter weather seems to be receding, for the moment at least, some flowers have started to brave poking above the ground and here is a collage of some crocuses which I found on the North Inch in Perth today when I was out for a stroll.
Up a hill we go.
Well the weather is certainly doing it's thing at the moment, today a good lot of snow falling and more to come, just the kind of weather where I wish I had a nice 4×4 Landrover (other 4×4 models are available!) rather than a small mini cooper; not the kind of transport to be driving out and about in this kind of weather.
So I decided to use version 1.0 mode of transport, my legs, and took a walk up Kinoull hill which is not far from home, its usually around a 45 min walk but in this weather took a little over an hour. Exhausted, I eventually arrived at the top where the views are normally amazing, with the weather as it was it was impressive.

It's true. Jakey is growing up. He requested the "whole family" go bowling for his birthday and have dinner at the bowling alley. The 6 weeks that we spent living in the Lodge on base were apparently some of the happiest of Jake's short life. He often wants to eat at the bowling alley and hang out at the Lodge's playground, and invents excuses to go inside to get ice from the ice machine. He asks when we will get to live there again. So off to the bowling alley we went and enjoyed a pizza and nachos and awesome bowling fun.
Amelie and I were a team, but she likes to sit with Dad.
Jake's got skillz!
Sometimes he used a ramp and sometimes he preferred to throw the ball down there as hard as he could! Either way, it was very serious business.
After the bowling alley we went home for cake and ice cream. Jake requested a minion cake this year, and this was my creation. I love this picture of the boys looking like they are best buddies, even though most of the time they fight like crazy. It reminds me that they do actually love each other.
We just love this kid so much. At four years old, Jake is still the most likely in our house to crack a joke (and then laugh at it,) make friends with strangers, and cuddle up with his Mommy. He counts among his best friends; all of the kids in his church Sunday school class, our 80 year old widow neighbor (who speaks no English, but always has time to visit with Jake when he calls out to her "Hey girl!"- we're working on that,) our landlord, and his Uncle Mark.
He loves to play Legos and video games and gets frustrated when people try to exclude him for being "too little." He usually exhibits his frustration by hitting them as hard as he can. We're working on that too. This Fall he will begin German Kindergarten and I am excited and anxious to see how he copes with the transition... and how they cope with him. But I know wherever he goes in life, he is sure to make friends and have a fun time- because he brings the fun with him.
We love you Jakey Bear.
Jake's birthday interview:
(20 questions style)
1. What is your favorite color? green
2. What is your favorite toy? Legos
3. What is your favorite fruit? watermelon
4. What is your favorite tv show? The Incredibles, maybe Super Hero Squad too
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? cheese tortillas
6. What is your favorite outfit? train underwear, light blue pants, and a soccer shirt
7. What is your favorite game? Yahtzee (he also likes Blokus and Uno)
8. What is your favorite snack? Cereal
9. What is your favorite animal? Cheetah
10. What is your favorite song? Hello, Guten Tag (we sing this to visitors and new kids at church in Primary- it is just the "Hello song" with a little Germany twist)
11. What is your favorite book? All about boats (current library book)
12. Who is your best friend? J.J.
13. What do you want to be when you grow up? Drive a digger
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside? jumping on the trampoline
15. What are you really good at? riding bikes
16. What is a food that you hate? black food (burnt toast, or things blackened on the grill)

text: The new strategy for the privatisation of Bulgartabac will be probably approved by mid-October, the Deputy Premier and Minister of Economy Lidiya Shouleva said during the week. The long-awaited document should be approved by Parliament as well. The strategy is expected to include the divestment of the tobacco holding and of its individual subsidiaries.The deal will be effected in several stages. First of all Bulgartabac's subsidiaries abroad will be sold out through tenders or liquidated. The eight indebted enterprises (in Isperih, Doulovo, Vidin, etc.) will be sold out afterwards, and their privatisation will be followed by that of Yuriy Gagarin BT - the cigarette boxes and filters manufacturer.During the next stage the holding's shares in the factories of Blagoevgrad, Sofia, Plovdiv and Stara Zagora will be offered for sale through tender or on the stock exchange. Finally, the residual state-owned share in Bulgartabac Holding (that will be then owning only the building and trade marks) will be put up for sale.Big international companies such as Philip Morris, British American Tobacco, Gallaher, Altadis, and Imperial Tobacco, are expected to bid for the factories in Blagoevgrad and Sofia. The Deputy Premier Vassilev, who is in fact the author of the strategy for a 5-stage privatisation, hinted that the buyer of the residual share in the holding itself will be a company with a somewhat different profile (rather a financial investor). But it's not yet clear what the requirements to the investors would be or who will effect the sale of shares. The principle problem in the divestment is that not direct state participation in the subsidiaries is concerned, but shares, owned by Bulgartabac Holding. By law, the Privatisation Agency (PA) sells the state's participation in the capital of enterprises, as well as their self-contained parts. Therefore, they should be offered for sale by a decision of the holding's Supervisory Board, which is yet to be set up. But there is a more simple option. During the most recent amendment to the Privatisation Act (in April 2003) a provision was approved that the PA could sell shares and stakes, which are not directly owned by the State (e.g. Bulgartabac Holding's share in its subsidiaries) if it is entitled to do that. In that case (under para 9 of the law's Transitional and Final Provisions) the proceeds from the sale of shares in the subsidiaries shall remain within the holding and not remitted to the budget. But if that scenario is chosen, it will be extremely important when the so-called residual share in the holding will be put up for sale. That should be a year after the sale of the individual subsidiaries is completed, in order to enable the holding to distribute the proceeds from their divestment as dividends. (For instance, proceeds from bank privatisation entered the budget through the dividend, distributed by the Bank Consolidation Company). However, some ambiguities remain. For example, if Bulgartabac Holding decides to sell its overseas companies alone and authorizes the PA for the other ones, does that mean that there would be two different procedures - one under the Commercial Code, and another - under he Privatiastion Act? The other peculiarity is that the holding itself is in the special list of companies which are important to the national security, which requires the choice of its buyer to be approved by the Government. Bulgartabac' subsidiaries, however, are not yet in that list. Trade marks are another problem. Under the current situation, the buyer of the factory in Blagoevgrad, for example, cannot be sure if it would be allowed to produce Victory brand of cigarettes. In order to eliminate that risk the package of documents for the deal on each individual unit should include a licensing agreement for the respective trade marks. Otherwise, teh holding should transfer the trade marks to the respective subsidiaries prior their privatisation. Another big problem is the ownership of Bulgartabac's trade marks in Russia. With so many uncertainties it is not surprising why foreign investors have not shown interest towards the deal so far. In fact, only Philip Morris has a stable presence in Bulgaria at present, after British American Tobacco liquidated its subsidiary in end-2002. The bidders, who participated agressively in the last procedure for the sale of 80% of Bulgartabac Holding's assets, are also waiting for the time being. The Metatabac consortium is no longer the same, as the major shareholder in it Michael Chernoy has lost interest in the deal, said the partner in the consortium Georgi Tassev. I wouldn't be very precise if I said that the other partners (that is Garegin Gevondyan and me) were very much interested, he added. According to Mr. Tassev, however, both of them will also withdraw from the deal if a decision is made for selling the holding in parts. A check of the BANKER weekly showed as well that the two other participants - Tobacco Capital Partners AD and Consortium Rossbulgartabac AD - are still operating. Two interesting changes for the favourite bidder from the previous procedure were entered in August. Deutsche Bank became the sole owner of Tobacco Capital Partners by a decision of March 26, 2003. A few days prior that the company bought 100% of two other firms - Technical Assistance Company EOOD and Distribution Services Company EOOD. The two of them were registered in March 2003 and their sole owners are Bisser Parvoulov and Hristo Pamoukchiev (directors of Zlaten Lev Holding and the firms connected with it). Despite the changes, neither the owners of Tobacco Capital Partners, nor those of its subsidiaries have made any personnel changes in the managerial bodies. No changes have been made in the Consortium Rossbulgartabac AD either, whose Executive Director is Genadiy Kovalyov. The company, owned by the Moscow-based bank Regional Perspective (90%) and Vneshtradeexport, reported only BGN2,000 in expenses for 2002. There is no information about the current state of the fourt candidate - the Vienna-registered Tobacco Holding.

text: I have a Small Nepenthes that I got about a month ago. And it's in a 1 or 2 inch round pot. It is just a little plant now, however, if I wanted it to grow, should I re-pot it now? or wait for it to make some pitchers before I start to think about it. I know it's only been a short while, but I feel like it would do a lot better in a larger one. Also, the leaves are browing, and I don't know why, I don't have a photo right now, but I might be able to get one tomorrow if my camera works. Thanks for your help!

"Greek gyros, traditionally made from lamb, receive a makeover in tofu! These are a favorite in our house. So easy and a great combination of flavors. Though I love the cucumber sauce, plain yogurt would do. (Actually pronounced "year-oh" :-) ) Also good leftover for a lunch box, just wrap the assembled sandwich in wax paper."
Tofu Gyros
3 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 30mins
YIELD:6-8 gyros
Ingredients Nutrition
For the tofu
- 1⁄2 lb extra firm tofu (slightly more than 1/2 a 450 g. package)
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1⁄8-1⁄4 teaspoon ground rosemary
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the cucumber sauce
- 1⁄2 cup firm silken tofu
- 1⁄2 cup cucumber, chopped & peeled
- 2 teaspoons flax seed oil or 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt (or less)
- 2 -3 pinches ground black pepper
To serve
- 6 -8 whole wheat pita bread (8 inch)
- 3 cups romaine lettuce, finely torn
- 2 -3 plum tomatoes, sliced
- 4 green onions, sliced or 1 onion, thinly sliced
- Note: You can make the tofu strips chewier by freezing the tofu overnight and letting it thaw in the fridge. Be warned, thawing takes a couple of days. It will be different but definitely yummy either way.
- Cut the tofu into 8 slices. Lay on a clean dishtowel and fold the other half of the towel over top, pressing gently to extract excess moisture. Then cut each slice in half lengthwise.
- Mix the marinade ingredients (tamari to garlic) together.
- Spread the tofu in a wide, shallow container and pour the marinade over. Use a fork to flip the slices around till all are evenly coated. They will soak up most of the marinade. Let sit, covered in the fridge, at least one hour or overnight.
- To make the cucumber sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until fairly smooth, but still chunky. Adjust salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
- A few minutes before serving, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium. When hot, add the tofu strips, letting them get golden-brown before turning. This doesn't take very long!
- To serve: place 2 or 3 tofu strips across the middle of a pita, top with salad fixings, and add cucumber sauce to taste. Fold pita in half around the filling, pick up and eat like a taco!
- Bon Appetit!

Durham North Carolina Class C RV Rental Reviews
Very nice RV particularly considering it is 14 yrs old. Very clean and easy to drive and set up. Everything was as good or better than we expected. Beds, shower, toilet, kitchen and dining were excellent. Wht pay more for newer RV when this is such an excellent deal.
Scott could not have been nicer! Very easy to communicate with and work with. Very positive experience.
This was our first time RV'ing and we were unsure of what to expect, BUT Jarrod made everything easy. He walked us through the entire RV, explained how to work everything. The RV was truly a home away from home it was very comfortable. We had an amazing experience from start to end. We will be renting again!
Kristin and Matt were very easy to communicate with and the RV was great! Very clean, roomy, and easy to drive and operate. We were off grid for 4 days/nights and this RV worked out excellently for 4 adults and 2 kids. Could definitely accommodate 2 more kids (assuming one was "old" enough to sleep on a top bunk). Note that to do the 4 days/nights we were using a camp restroom and showers. We did use the onboard toilet for night and to dodge the rain. We might have _just_ made it without draining black or gray water tanks, but we did drain the gray tanks after 3 nights just to be safe. With daytime temps in the 70s (and sunny) and evening temps in the 40s we really didn't have to run the heat or AC at all. We did use the heat for maybe 20 minutes before bed to just take the chill out of the air. We cooked 2 meals a day and ran the fridge on propane (in addition to the small use of heat) and used almost no propane. The fridge was VERY efficient and was even able to freeze large "ice packs" over night so we were fresh and ready to load coolers for adventures during the day.

For my daughter's dress, I used the reverse side of the same polka dot fabric that I used for my top and skirt. The dress features a standard bodice with a round neckline, an A-line skirt, and is sleeveless. It has reverse pleats along the waistband for some visual interest.

Custom girl's reversible dresses, part 1
I'm working on two adorable versions of my girl's reversible backless appliqued dress right now, and I couldn't wait to share the fabric selections.
The first dress will be "Toy Story" themed on one side with accents of the green-striped fabric and blue star fabric; The other side will feature the pink froggie fabric and have accents of the green stripes and pink flowers. I'm not sure what I'll applique on this one – trying to decide between a rocket, a sheriff's star, a flower or a frog. Too many cute options!
The second dress will be "Cars" themed on one side and and have the red and blue flowered fabric on the other, with accents of the red and blue starred fabrics on both sides. I'm thinking of doing a car applique on this one.
I'm looking forward to seeing how these both turn out!
Reversible appliqued girl's backless dress
I had been longing to make my daughter a scrappy dress for a while, and I finally accumulated the right pieces to make this dress!
I designed the dress myself, and love how it turned out. I can make custom versions of this dress with the fabrics of your choice in sizes from 3-8 for $50 per dress. If you're interested, just message me on Facebook.
If you want to make a keyhole-backed dress on your own, there's a tutorial here – I didn't follow this method, so I can't vouch for it, but the results look similarly cute.

I was able to squeeze in a quick news read before I keep going on this busy ass day.
If you know me you know I'm a huge rail fan. If i could live on the CTA rail car, I honestly would (In a clean one at least). This is pretty freakin awesome!!!
"True rail enthusiasts and train buffs in general will jump at the chance to ride nearly every CTA train line on the CTA's oldest cars in revenue service -- the 2200-series cars built in 1969-70. You'll get that chance at 9 am on Sunday, March 28, starting at the Rosemont/River Road station on the Blue Line.
This opportunity to ride these cars all day before they are finally replaced beginning next year is provided by the Illinois Railway Museum. The $42 ticket will help the all-volunteer museum purchase indoor storage space for CTA cars already at the museum, located in Union.
The IRM's Snowflake Special will take riders over just about every rail line and through plenty of non-revenue and yard trackage."
2200-series rails cars were first put into service in 1969. They will be replaced starting in 2011 by the 5000 series cars. (Photo by Joe Testagrose from www.chicago-l.org)

About Me
- Emen Fuckos
- I am from Chicago one of the most overlooked cities when it comes to graffiti or anything else.I started taking pictures of graffiti in the fall of 05' and instantly got hooked. My goal is to put Chicago on the map to show that not only L.A. and New York have a thriving graffiti scene. One day i plan to turn this hobby into a 9 to 5. I want to show people the many wonders this world has to offer through my photography. I want to expose them to the things they turn a blind eye to on a daily basis to make them realize that there is more to the world then the cubicle that surrounds them.

It's still hard for me to believe that it's already November. Weren't we just celebrating Evie's birthday in July? I swear, months go by so much quicker when you have kids! Anywho…it's Monday, and that means it's time for my weekly Loveday list! Here we go!
1) We were over at my sister-in-law's house this weekend and they served us INCREDIBLE banana bread. I've always been a fan, but this one in particular was heavenly. I was certain that she had baked it from scratch, but then learned she used Chiquita Banana Bread Mix! We are DEFINIETLY going to be making loaves of these at home this fall/winter! They are DELISH. I was immediately a fan and they look so easy to make!
2) With the cool weather, I've been loving sweater dresses! To me, there's nothing cuter on a little toddler than a cute sweater dress, some tights, and boots! I'm loving them this season and have picked up a few and been gifted some. Here's Evie modeling a few of my favorites!
|Dress | Shoes
4) Winter approaching means dry skin for me! I've used a lot of lotions over the years, and the one that I've always loved in the winter is H2O Plus Milk Body Balm. It has a clean fresh scent and just makes my hands feel silky soft! I love it!!
5) I've made an effort to paint my nails more regularly, but always seem to smudge them or do an awful job because I'm rushing to do it while Evie is napping or just don't leave myself enough time to let them dry fully. I'm hoping to find more time and refresh my nail polish collection though! While perusing the aisles of Ulta last week, I spotted some awesome Essie colors that I want to get. I'm loving all the colors on the Essie Pinterest board here. Can I just get them all please??
6) I know I'm not alone, when I say I love chalkboards. I think they've definitely become more trendy lately, and I've jumped on the bandwagon. I LOVE the idea of getting a big chalkboard and writing fun family messages on it and maybe even listing off our weekly dinner menu. Maybe one day we'll find one that will work well in our home. In the meantime, I found this cute hanging chalkboard slate on a rope at Hobby Lobby recently and decided to purchase it! It was practically free, under $5! We hung it in our little walkway between the stairs and our kitchen and I've been playing with chalk and writing things like "Happy Fall" and "Trick-or-Treat" on it and decorating with colored chalk. Not only do I get to play with chalk, but I also think it looks super cute and adds a personalized touch to our home!

Do you correct an adult if they say a word or words wrong?
If they used it in the wrong way or just pronounced it wrong. For instance, I had a pacific gold instead of specific goal. Toys and us instead toys r us, briggs and stratton instead braxton hicks contractions, (one's an engine), the other has to do with pregnancy. Even if you know the person and it's not your kid.
if i ever do it, it is someone i know well . and i never ever do it in from of someone else.
Probably. But he has to be someone I know well. And I won't do it in front of other people. The correction must occur only between the two of us.
I try not to but sometimes I can't help it. The woman I work with has a Master's Degree and the words that come out of her mouth are often no where near correct--and I cannot figure out how this happens with an education.
I try very hard not to correct her but when she used the word facade - correctly pronounced fuh-sahd - and actually pronounced it like it is spelled - FA CADE....I had to speak up.
So I am guilty. But I also would want someone to let me know if I am using something incorrectly because you end up looking very foolish if you continuously misuse words.
First of all......in my experience, there are far more ADULTS who brutalize our beautiful English language than there are "kids." One can somewhat expect that children are STILL learning. However, if you went to school at all and are past the age of High School (18?), there is NO EXUSE to speak or write like a moron. Although mis-use/abuse of grammar, ignorance of sentence structure and poor spelling skills are an extreme annoyance to me, I rarely, if ever, correct someone. I make an exception for family and close friends, who will actually "appreciate" being corrected. As I see it, we are all taught properly and well. It is OUR native tongue. If one does not care enough about how (s)he speaks, does not have the motivation & self-respect to LEARN, although sad, this is not my problem nor responsibility. Unfortunately, these English-killers delude themselves by believing it does not "matter." Let me CORRECT such an inexcusable attitude. THE WAY YOU SPEAK, THE DEGREE OF YOUR COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, YOUR WRITING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF WORDS SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT YOU!! I find it nearly impossible to lend any credibility whatsoever to WHAT someone says to me when they cannot SPEAK PROPERLY. "He don't know nuthin bout them things over there, so I ain't axin him no questions. I'll just get aggervated." The only response I would have to this would be to walk away and roll my eyes.....in that order.
No, not usually. I do not feel it is my place if they are my elder:)
I do correct adults, and I have done it in front of other people when the situation and necessity of understanding warranted it. And I've also been the recipient of the same sort of correction.
It depends on the adult and the situation. I don't want to offend someone who is trying to express themself and needs a listening ear. Sometimes its not worth the correction. Good question.
I wouldn't do it very often and it depends on the person. Some people are very defensive and would take offense at the very notion of you correcting them since they know they are always right so what's the point arguing with them? If someone was reading a passage out loud from a book or an instruction manual and was pronouncing the words incorrectly or having difficulty getting their tongue around them, I would help.
Yes. I correct everyone and people should correct me. I would like to know when I am wrong so I don't do it again.
Never in public but I have corrected those close to me a few times. Mostly, I let it slide usually because the person will repeat their wrong pronunciation or incorrectly used word and then it would become redundant. Your example is funny to me because I work at Briggs and Stratton ;-).
Hmm, good question. Usually I would, as I'd want someone to do the same for me, and I'd always do it in a friendly way (unless I really don't like this particular person.)
I have an aunt who always mis-pronounces things (the blink of suicide - it's supposed to be brink, he was looming - supposed to be fuming, etc) but she's always really nice to me, and she's my godson's mother, so I can't bring myself to do it, even though I do flinch internally.
But yes, to sum it up - I'd usually correct someone who's pronouncing something incorrectly, using a double negative, etc.
Part of the fun in my family is correcting someone's English. We make it a fun thing where we all learn something.
I have a co-worker who is a grammar nut and he is very good at it. Misuse of words drive him crazy and you will hear a speech about it pretty soon.
I enjoy this all because I know my grammar is lousy and sometimes I don't know why, but I learn a lot from these two extensions that like to play with the English language.
You have to be careful about that. People are sensitive about their English. I often correct people when I should let things go.
Yes, I do correct improper language usage. Depending on the person, I will do it publicly or privately.
fpherj48- I am in agreement with almost everything you wrote, but unless I am mistaken (and I could be I suppose) in an email or on the internet, using ALL CAPS is like screaming or shouting at someone. Why are you shouting at us?
To answer the original question, like a lot of you, whether I correct someone depends on how well I know them, whether I can do it privately or quietly, and whether I think they are the kind of person who wants to improve and will appreciate the correction.
Personally, I always want to be corrected, because that is how my speech and vocabulary improve. I make sure my friends and acquaintances know that and I make sure I both laugh at, and learn from, my mistakes.

3 Sep'17 – We had a special Sunday morning, thanks to the visit of the youths of GBIP Immanuel Church, Bung Karno, Mataram. On this social event "Bergerak dengan Nyata" (Real Movement) they donated clothes and staple food to peduli Anak.
Not only that, they also organized musical performance and quizzes with attractive prizes for the kids.
We're honored to be part of their real movement as it also promotes tolerance and friendship between our children who are all moslems and their new Christian friends.
Thank you GBIP Immanuel!

Anyway I digress, I was downloading my camera and noticed that I've been taking quite a lot of pictures looking out from inside. Maybe because it's too smoky and awful to be outside. Who knows. Below we see a hollyhock outside the sunroom window, camera focused on the window. Which it can do because the window is so dirty. I think with the smoke and haze, cleaning windows might be a very short term improvement. I'm inclined not to bother.
Earth Garden that this might make the house less pleasant in summer by cutting off the air flow. But then again, it is lovely and shady. And it's still pleasant to lie on the couch and watch the birds. Grace is in her stretchie suit, playing with her tricycle and squashing plums with her feet. Noice.
And last but not least, the view through the scullery window. A couple of years ago we planted jerusalem artichokes and tree dahlia along the side of the house. In summer it provides a lovely alternative view to the rather ugly house next door. And you get to watch insect dramas while you do the dishes. Alas over winter, I also made some hanging baskets with cactus in them which I now can't see. I think I might have to selectively prune the greenery back.
Oh, look at the time. Bed is calling. Tomorrow maybe I'll spill my guts about the meaning of Christmas. Or not. Perhaps I should go to the gym instead because my attendance is slipping once again and G is starting to make cruel jokes about my membership.
