Orange jumpsuit is the new red carpet for a drug-making movie man whose downfall began in Las Vegas
All smiles for the paparazzi, independent movie producer BURTON RITCHIE strolls the red carpet for the screening of his latest film, a documentary about stand-up comedians, directed by his buddy, actor Kevin Pollak.
BURTON RITCHIE is not facing paparazzi today. He is facing U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE RAYMOND JACKSON. JACKSON is about to impose sentence on RITCHIE for his convictions on conspiracy and drug distribution charges. RITCHIE is wearing the orange jumpsuit that's standard dress for residents of the Tidewater Western Regional Jail.
The Court finds ... that you were a clever, corrupt drug dealer who made millions of profits from this episode, corrupted other people, destroyed other people's lives, got other people in prison, all because of your dealings.
With that, JACKSON sentences RITCHIE, 46-year-old father of two with virtually no criminal history, to more than three decades in a federal penitentiary ...
How did this moviemaker who played charity poker with Chelsea Clinton and produced films starring Glenn Close and Kristen Wiig wind up as federal inmate #23554-017? The story of Burton Ritchie's rise and fall could be a screenplay. His rise would be set in Florida — but his fall began in Las Vegas, in a nondescript warehouse.
On July 25, 2012, agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency and Internal Revenue Service served a search warrant at 5435 Desert Point Drive, part of a warehouse complex not far from the Orleans hotel-casino. Inside, agents found one man, 29-year-old Ryan Eaton, and all the makings for spice, commonly referred to as synthetic marijuana. Foil pouches of spice have been sold in gas stations and head shops as potpourri or incense, though some users smoke it like marijuana. It's composed of ground-up plant leaves sprayed with powerful, mood-altering, synthetic cannabinoids. These chemicals act on the same receptors in the brain as the THC in pot. But synthetic cannabinoids can produce far more powerful effects and can cause serious, even fatal, medical reactions.
"If you wanted to take THC and raise it to an exponential power, that's what these drugs are," says Paul Doering, a professor of pharmacology at the University of Florida
Although not illegal, per se, at that time (it would be within a year), officials considered it a controlled substance under what's known as the "analogues" act. This outlawed newly created "designer" drugs that are substantially similar to existing controlled substances. For the spice trade, underground chemists constantly tweaked their formulas to stay ahead of laws banning them. In Las Vegas, investigators seized about seven kilograms of the synthetic cannabinoid XLR-11, which had been imported from China.
Information from the warehouse linked the spice-making operation to Zencense Incense Works in Pensacola, Florida. According to court documents, Zencense had moved spice production from Florida to Las Vegas because the chemicals dried more quickly in the desert. The co-owner and executive in charge of Zencense was Burton Ritchie.
Ritchie was not a central-casting drug dealer. In many ways, he was an all-American entrepreneur. "He was determined to succeed in life, and he did," his mother, Linda Crews, wrote in a letter to Judge Jackson. "Burton's continued self-motivation led him to independently start a T-shirt business on Pensacola Beach before he was 21 years old, without financial backing from family."
That T-shirt business led to other enterprises, including a chain of smoke shops called Psychedelic Shacks — in which a product called Sonic, an early form of spice, flew off the shelves. Indeed, Ritchie couldn't keep up with demand. So he went into the spice business himself, manufacturing his own under names like Bizarro, Neutronium, and Orgazmo. He retailed it out of his smoke shops and sold it wholesale to others. It was a huge hit. According to court records, Ritchie and partner Ben Galecki raked in more than $20 million from spice in less than a year.
But the 2012 raid in Las Vegas, which didn't result in immediate charges, was a wake-up call. "I decided to cease manufacturing as a result of that raid," he said in deposition for a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a couple whose son died after smoking Zencense spice.
In December 2012, Ritchie and Galecki sold Zencense to Victor Natoli, a California smoke shop maven. He continued to make spice under the corporate moniker ZenBio. Though Ritchie was no longer involved, federal prosecutors allege that he received profits from ZenBio until April 2013.
After selling Zencense and the Psychedelic Shacks, Ritchie moved himself, his wife, and two young children to Park City, Utah, where he bought a house worth more than a million dollars, and became a fixture at the Sundance Film Festival. Before getting out of the synthetic cannabinoids business, Ritchie and Galecki had formed a production company called Heretic Films. Spice had given them money to finance movies, and the company flourished. Among the movies it played a role in: Welcome to Me (2014), starring Kristen Wiig and Tim Robbins; Low Down (2014), starring Glenn Close and Elle Fanning; and Misery Loves Comedy (2015), a documentary directed by actor Kevin Pollak that starred some of the biggest names in standup comedy.
He was also an avid poker player, finishing in the money at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas three years running. According to his biography on the Internet Movie Database, Ritchie "got his start in producing (movies) after he won a walk-on part in Red 2 while playing in a charity tournament in support of the Clinton Foundation." Photographs show Ritchie chatting amiably with Chelsea Clinton across a poker table.
In January 2015, at the Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca Films announced it had purchased the rights to distribute Misery Loves Comedy. Ritchie, the producer, stood beaming on the red carpet. It may have been the pinnacle of his success.
But at the same time, federal agents were piecing together a picture of a nationwide spice distribution network for Zencense and ZenBio, involving hundreds of people. Indictments followed in Norfolk, Virginia; Duluth, Minnesota; San Francisco; Mobile, Alabama — and Las Vegas.
And there were the wrongful death suits. One was filed by the parents of 20-year-old Karl Ladue, of Talent, Oregon. He went into a rage after smoking Bizarro. Police officers shocked him nearly two dozen times with a taser. As three officers struggled to take him into custody, Ladue stopped breathing.
In Oswego, New York, Teresa Woolson's 19-year-old son, Victor, went for a swim after he and a friend smoked a package of Avalanche. He began flailing and drowned. Woolson sued Zencense and Burton Ritchie. "All these people that bought his products? Their lives are devastated, all over the United States. Yet he's mingling with the rich and famous like he did nothing wrong," she said.
In a deposition for Ladue's suit (trial is set for November 6), Ritchie said he'd never seen anyone smoke his products. He'd heard reports of maybe four people claiming adverse reactions, but said he later discovered they had used actual illegal drugs. "We were always the scapegoat," Ritchie testified. "When in fact they'd been using heroin or methamphetamine or actual illegal substances and didn't want to confess."
On the day Ritchie testified in that deposition, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Norfolk on spice-related charges. More indictments followed Alabama and in Nevada, where Ryan Eaton was also charged. Meanwhile, other figures in the spice conspiracy had been indicted. Victor Natoli pleaded guilty and agreed to testify for the government. A former Zencense bookkeeper also rolled.
In October 2016, Ritchie and Galecki went on trial in Virginia. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict — a few jurors were reportedly hung on the issue of whether XLR-11 was, in fact, an analogue of an actual illegal drug. A mistrial was declared. But Galecki and Ritchie were retried in January, and both were found guilty on all counts.
Prior to sentencing, letters from friends and associates were submitted to the court on Ritchie's behalf. Kevin Pollak's appears to be the only one from a Hollywood celebrity:
"I have never witnessed even the possibility of selfish, negative or harmful intent from Mr. Ritchie, nor do I think him capable. With rehabilitation available in today's society at its most varied and successful in history, it seems an injustice to incarcerate an otherwise remarkably intelligent, respectful and thoughtful citizen."
In asking for leniency, Ritchie and his lawyer insisted that Ritchie had relied on legal and scientific opinions that the chemicals he was using were not illegal. Judge Jackson was unconvinced: "(I)t's very clear you were involved in committing this offense long before you consulted any lawyer. ... The truth is that you were involved in one massive drug-dealing operation." Although Ritchie's lawyer asked for a sentence of five years, Jackson handed Ritchie 32 years, which he is serving in Talladega, Florida.
As for the wrongful-death suits, they're still active, though the feds have seized most of Ritchie's assets and will likely retain them until criminal proceedings in all jurisdictions are complete. Teresa Woolson now runs the Victor O. Woolson (VOW) Foundation, named after her son, which provides synthetic-drug education. "At least I feel that some justice has come," she says. "He's not out there making movies anymore, or going to film festivals, or living in a million dollar mansion. He's in jail."
Where he's scheduled to remain until at least 2044. He still faces additional trials in Alabama, and in Las Vegas, where his court date was bumped from last month to next May.

I have noticed a few posts featuring photographs on Steemit that have been enhanced with some photo manipulation software called 'Aurora HDR'.
Without explaining too much, just look at these images, the top one is the original and the ones following contains filters.
I think @beautifulbullies has used this software in the past, or something similar, but it did'nt really click with me when I saw them the first time.

(Architecture HDR Look 3 Filter)
Like any aspiring Steemian, I jumped out of my car on the way home to capture this photograph of Pendle Hill in Lancashire. If you see things, you just need to stop and capture them!
Do you think they enhance the image or are they just a little too much? The product comes with many filters and I tried just a few. I even reduced the modified ones to 800 x 600 just for you @enchantedspirit!
The sky seems quite unreal compared to the originals but the detail on buildings and bushes is quite startling. Blacks are blacker and colours are sharper and more focused.

This is the Leeds/Liverpool canal quite close to my home, and was taken several weeks beforehand while I was an unemployed bum. What good times.
The original canal picture is a little mundane but with the filter the reflections come to life and everything seems so much alive. The sky details are enhanced but once again I'm not taken with that particular detail.
The last photograph I took while driving home tonight. I stopped several times to try and get some good snaps.
The clouds were looking good and this one in particular was stunning. I tried a few filters on it, but I think the original still looks the best.

What do you think of these filters? Good, bad or indifferent?
If you found this article so invigorating that you are now a positively googly-eyed, drooling lunatic with dripping saliva or even if you liked it just a bit, then please upvote, comment, resteem, engage me or all of these things.

Association of estrogen and progesterone receptor gene polymorphisms and their respective hormones in uterine leiomyomas
- 190 Downloads
- Citations
The steroid hormones estradiol and progesterone play an important role in the pathophysiology of fibroids that occurs in 20–25 % of women in the reproductive age. Our study examines the risk imposed by estrogen and progesterone plasma levels in correlation with the ERβ (−13950T/C) and PGR (+331G/A) receptor gene polymorphisms. The study population included 296 individuals (146 UL cases and 150 female controls). Hormonal levels were estimated by ELISA and genotyping was carried out by PCR-RFLP analysis, and the obtained results were statistically analyzed. Estrogen levels were found to be high in cases with the "TC" genotype of ERβ receptor polymorphism compared to controls, whereas individuals with "GA" and "AA" genotype of PGR receptor polymorphism showed high progesterone levels for cases when compared to controls. The TC genotype of the ERβ receptor polymorphism and the GA and AA genotypes of the PGR receptor polymorphism and their respective hormonal levels can be developed as markers in the prediction of uterine fibroids.

Indian commentator becomes viral sensation after Cristiano Ronaldo's goal
It isn't uncommon for commentators to be extremely vocal while describing moments of a match. Anyone who regularly watches either the Premier League or La Liga will be familiar with commentators losing their minds when an insane goal is struck or an exquisite play is made.
Usually, though, the commentators are either Arabic, English, Spanish or even American. Rarely has a commentator from India been known for a memorable bit of commentary when it comes to football.
Enter Shaiju Damodaran. This Malayalee commentator from the south of India became a viral sensation last week, after his commentary bit following Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning free-kick against Spain in the first game of the group stages of the World Cup 2018 caused the internet to erupt in wonder.
Here's some context for those of you who haven't chanced upon the footage yet:
Truly memorable, eh?
Over the past week, Damodaran has become somewhat of an online celebrity and has reportedly been receiving plenty of messages from fans and friends alike. Speaking to Sportstar about his rise to fame, the Malayalee commentator said:
"I've been getting so many calls and my phone is buzzing with messages, but frankly, I don't think I did anything extraordinary. I'm a professional commentator and this is part of my job. I'm just a guy who likes to talk. I've loved to talk since childhood and I simply do the same in the commentary box"
The 45-year old is no novice when it comes to commentary, having covered multiple cricket leagues in India and also having recently covered the ISL. Damodaran has been received well in the past, although nothing of this magnitude has happened to him yet.
"Every season, one or two of my clips go viral, but mostly only with Malayalis. One of the most memorable incidents was during season 3 of the ISL, when the semifinal between Kerala Blasters and Delhi Dynamos went into a penalty shootout. Kerala won 3-0 and I spoke about how Steve Coppel and Sachin Tendulkar had created a stellar team by using lines from the popular Malayalam song Poomaram. This was very well-received and went viral among Malayalis."
"The difference between that instance and the Ronaldo clip is that this video went viral across the country because it has Cristiano Ronaldo in it. The World Cup is a global event and thus it's getting more attention."
Damodaran also revealed that he's inspired by none other than English commentator Ray Hudson, and would love to cover football matches from the Premier League and La Liga.
"It would certainly be a dream come true for me", he says.

The court of Alfonso the Magnanimous was an important center for the renewal of the culture in the fifteenth century. Through a combination of the Catalan tradition with Italian Humanism, authors in his éntourage completely revolutionized the concept of literature and historiography, by presenting Alfonso as an ancient emperor far more powerful than any modern one. In this context the physician and historian Gaspar Pelegrí was the link between catalan tradition and humanistic (latin) innovation. Here are pulished 33 documents, which demonstrate his catalan origins.

Roxborough State Park is about a 40 minute drive south of Denver, Colorado. The protected land sits at the foot of the front range and features dramatic red sandstone that spears the earth at a sharp angle. These giant outcroppings are part of the Fountain Formation; the same formation responsible for the radical landscapes that make up Garden of the Gods and Rock Rocks Amphitheater.
The rocks are massive, but fragile — crumbling by the lightest touch. Fortified granite rises abruptly to the west, in stark contrast to the delicate sandstone. Blistering sunlight scorches the burnt red sediment. Lack of rain leaves the surrounding brush pale and abrasive. The land vibrates with heat.

On Sunday, as news of the first rescues flashed worldwide, President Donald Trump tweeted for the first time about the soccer team, saying the United States was working "very closely with the government of Thailand to help get all of the children out of the cave and to safety".
His updates came after U.S. and Thai officials confirmed Sunday that four boys had been rescued from a flooded cave network after spending 15 days trapped along with their soccer team and coach.
Rescue chief Narongsak Osottanakorn on Sunday said four of the team - affectionately dubbed by Thai social media Wild Boars 1, 2, 3, 4 - were "safe" and said the extraction effort would likely resume early Monday.
Water levels have a massive effect on the difficulty of the rescue operation.
While divers were resting, various oxygen points in the rescue route have been re-stocked with tanks to ensure minimal risk of deprivation.
The identities of four boys rescued from a Thai cave on Sunday evening have not even been revealed to their own parents.
The four people rescued Sunday are now receiving medical treatment at Prachanukroh hospital in Chiang Rai, around 35 miles away, where the eighth floor has been reserved for the soccer team, their coach and their families - who have maintained a patient vigil by the entrance to the cave while the boys have been underground.
Under thundery skies yesterday, 13 worldwide cave divers and five Thai navy SEALS locked arms and vowed: 'We'll bring the Wild Boar team home'.
Musk said on Twitter the aluminum sub would be tested until Sunday midafternoon California time before being placed on a 17-hour flight to Thailand.
Divers have been guiding the boys through darkness and submerged passageways towards the mouth of the Tham Luang cave system, where they have reportedly been able to walk the last part on foot.
The Thai Navy said Saturday three navy SEALs, one a doctor, were with the boys and coach.
Two helicopters wait near the cave for more evacuations of the boys and their soccer coach on Monday.
Narongsak said that there was no time limit on the rescue and that its progress would depend on weather and conditions inside the cave, but expected it to last through Monday.
The boys and their coach became stranded when they went exploring in the cave after a practice game June 23.
The boys who have already been rescued have been rushed to hospital for 48 hour observation following their ordeal.
The potential for rising water and the dwindling oxygen levels added to the urgency of getting the team out.
The search and rescue operation has involved dozens of global experts and rescuers, including a US military team.
An underwater rescue pod fashioned from a SpaceX Falcon 9 liquid-oxygen transfer tube undergoes testing in a California swimming pool.
"Don't be anxious, I miss everyone".
"I promise to take the very best care of the kids", he wrote.

Private security entrepreneur Erik Prince, who headed the military contractor formerly known as Blackwater and is the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, arranged a Trump Tower meeting in August 2016 bringing together an Israeli specialist in social-media manipulation, an emissary for Saudi and United Arab Emirates crown princes, and Donald Trump Jr., according to a Saturday report from the New York Times. The emissary, George Nader, according to the Times, told the then-candidate's son that they were interesting in helping his father win the presidential election that November, while the social-media expert, named by the Times as Joel Zamel, apparently pitched his company's plan to manipulate social media in service of the Trump campaign. The Times cited an unnamed person characterized as possessing knowledge of the meeting as saying Trump Jr. responded positively. The Times said it was unclear whether such a social-media plan was carried out. Nader, it said, went on to meet frequently with Jared Kushner, the now-president's son-in-law, and with Trump ally and eventual national-security adviser Michael Flynn. Zamel, according to the report, was paid as much as $2 million by Nader -- who has been reported to be cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 campaign -- after the U.S. presidential election.

The most imminent financial crisis facing the European Union is not Brexit, but the collapse of the Italian banking sector. With an aggregate $400 billion of bad loans on the books, Italian banks have no money left to lend, and the crash in their stock prices have cut off their ability to raise capital. If a resolution to the crisis acceptable to all parties is not found soon, it could push Italy out of the EU.
How Are Bad Loans Formed?
Economic downturns will always result in more loans going bad than usual This was especially prevalent during the pan-European recession caused by the global financial crisis. It's no different in Italy. However, the recession hit Italy harder than some other countries. leading to a large number of bankruptcies.
The long-running downturn in the Italian construction and real estate sectors have piled far more bad debt onto the balance sheets of Italian banks than those of other countries. Construction and real estate loans account for 40% of all commercial non-performing loans. The Financial Time reports that on average, two-thirds of Italian bank loans are secured by personal guarantees or real estate collateral. In smaller banks, the proportion can be as much as three-quarters.
An overly-complex and lengthy bankruptcy process that usually lasts for years, and many bad loans couldn't be written off even if the banks wanted to. Many Italian banks dug themselves a deeper hole by playing fast and loose in the loan department in the years before the 2008 financial crisis.
Now all those loans have come home to roost.
The Italian Job
New bank bailout rules became effective in the EU this January. Inspired by the Cyprus crisis and the massive use of taxpayer money to rescue banks from their own risky behavior, these rules establish a "bail-in" procedure for all of the EU. Under the rules, known as BRRD, at least 8% of a failed bank's liabilities that be written off or converted into common shares of stock in the bank before public funds can be used for a bailout. This presents a huge problem for Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, which can be traced back to how bank bonds were promoted to consumers.
Subordinated bank bonds were marketed to Italians, especially the elderly, as sort of a €1000 euro high-yield savings instrument. As a result, €200 billion in bank debt was purchased by retail investors. An earlier bail-in of four regional Italian banks wiped out subordinated bond holders and resulted in the suicide of a pensioner and mass protests in the streets.
The last thing in the world that Renzi, already losing popularity to Euroskeptic political opponents, wants to do is appear on national television and tell hundreds of thousands of citizens that their "safe" investments were just wiped out.
He requested €40 billion in EU assistance to help Italian banks immediately after the Brexit vote, but was promptly shot down. Renzi is now floating a plan for the EU to declare "exceptional circumstances of systemic stress" due to economic turmoil caused by the Brexit vote, and declare a six-month window to allow governments to waive EU bail-in rules.
The Italian banking crisis is also causing trouble for German Chancellor Andrea Merkel. She is facing falling poll numbers and opposition from inside her own party over what they saw as "giving in to the Greeks" during their most recent bailout. Agreeing to set aside EU bailout law that has only been in effect for six months would likely cost her her political career (not that she's keen on the idea in the first place.) Consensus in Germany and elsewhere in the EU is that the Italians got into this mess by themselves by ignoring long-standing weakness in their banking sector, so they have no one to blame but themselves.
Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, chairman of the Eurogroup committee of the finance ministers of member states feels much the same way. Declaring that Italian banks were not really facing an immediate crisis, he told reporters "At a certain point, you need to take the losses, take precautionary measures, that will cost money, and the bank, or banks, are going to have to do it."
Any recovery for Italian banks presents a "chicken and egg" problem. Economic recovery is stalling out because banks' balance sheet problems. Conversely, the banks need the economy to recover so they can make enough money to write off bad loans. The IMF recently reported that rebuilding Italy's banks was an "urgent" problem. It also stated that the Italian bank crisis has contributed to what it calls "two lost decades," estimating that Italy would not recover economically to pre-crisis levels until the 2020s at the earliest.
On the Brink
All these factors boil down to this:
- If the Italian banking system collapses, it will drag the rest of the EU down with it. The resulting destruction of the economy of Italy and the EU will mean the end of Renzi's career.
- If Renzi follows EU rules and bails in the failing banks, at least partially, mass protests will bring down his government and the Euroskeptic Five Star Movement will likely take power. One of Five Star's promises is to leave the euro common currency while remaining in the EU. They maintain that returning to the lira will allow Italy greater control over its economy, but blowback may push Italy out of the EU.
- If Renzi ignores EU banking rules and uses taxpayer money to bail out the banks, he will face some sort of EU sanctions, as well as widespread protests, with the same results as #2
- If Merkel agrees to let Italy break the new rules, she will be driven out of office, and will have fatally weakened the power of EU law.
The question now becomes: How many governments will lose power due to the Italian banking crisis, and how many member nations will be left afterward?

do i need to make a certain amount of money in a week to have federal taxes deducted from my check?
I am claiming on my w4 married 0.
Provided you're an employee a company that pays through "standard" payroll practices (rather than, say, working for an individual who just writes you out a check or pays cash); taxes are deducted from each check, no matter how small the check.
( If you're not an employee, and instead are a contract worker or have some other arrangement where you're paid but not an employee, Federal taxes aren't generally taken out of our pay. An example of that would be people who write for HubPages and are paid by Google. No taxes are taken from Google earnings, and people have to report their earnings (and pay taxes on them) on their own. )
For a person who is an employee of a company, Federal taxes are withheld from all earnings; and later the individual must fill out tax returns, showing income and how much was deducted. It may turn out that more was deducted than someone on your income should have paid - in which case he will get a refund.
Jennlocke42, on your W-4 you have an opportunity to have additional withholding. On Line 6, fill in any additional amount you want withheld each pay period. Your employer should have W-4s on hand.

This is the second in a weekly look at an application I've been using lately and come to like. All of them will run on Mac OS X but some will be cross-platform.
It should be no secret by now that I like using Twitter. I've been a user for almost 3 years, sending my first tweet in late spring 2007. Twitter can be used quite well from the web but it's real power comes from its API and the multitudes of applications which can make use of it. Tweetie is one such application – it began as an iPhone application and made the move to OS X last year.
Considering there are so many Twitter clients out there, what made me choose Tweetie? Firstly, it has a free version, which is supported by a few ads in your Twitter timeline (these are obvious and less frequent than I expected) and an occasional nag screen asking you to upgrade. Paying $19.95 removes the ads and the nag screen but doesn't provide any extra features. It's also built natively for OS X, unlike a number of others which use Adobe AIR – while this does allow them to run easily on Windows, OS X and Linux, in my experience AIR apps are quite slow and memory-hungry. Adobe have promised improvements to AIR so this may change.
Tweetie also supports multiple Twitter accounts – useful if you have a personal account and an account for your business, for example – although I personally don't make use of this. The interface is very Mac-like, and it includes Growl notifications for new tweets which are useful if you want to be distracted whenever new tweets are received. It also has built-in search and you can view a Twitter user's feed in the app by clicking their userpic. Support for URL-shortening services and TwitPic/yFrog is built-in too.
Tweetie's use of animation makes it feel very smooth and slick, and it seems like the best-designed Twitter application I've used so far. It's light enough to run at all times, and can be run just as a dock or notification icon.
It's not perfect – it doesn't support the new Retweet mechanism yet (so when you retweet it still posts 'RT' in front of a new tweet by you) and doesn't show trending topics. There's also no geolocation features, although this is of limited use for a desktop client.
I recently switched to Tweetie after having used EchoFon for Firefox, which I now can't use due to bug 533535 in Firefox 3.6. But Tweetie offers much better features so I'm planning to stick with it. The Twitter client arena is very crowded but Tweetie sticks out as a very good application.

Why Hello There Teacher Extraordinaire!
By now you are back in full swing as you teach those little energy nuggets all kinds of academic and life lessons. But, where on Earth does all that time go? Before you know it, it's the end of the day, you're exhausted, and you just hope and pray they learned at least something. I totally get it. So what if you could guarantee an information packed classroom meeting/calendar routine/whateveryoucallit in the morning? Wouldn't you just feel so productive? That's what I'm here to share!
Beefing Up Your Calendar Routine with Word of the Day
I'm sure you've heard this term, "word of the day," in some context before. It's used with your literacy centers, morning work, etc. It's kind of a fun way to create a vocabulary focus, right? Here's the kicker, though. You can do so much more with "word of the day" in your calendar routine than you ever realized. Pam uses our Daily Concept Builders™ Calendars to introduce her word of the day for a number of reasons:
- Vocabulary that's relevant to the students
- Pattern on the calendar pieces
- Vocabulary words organized into themes of the week
- Student calendars for hands-on follow up
Okay I have to stop right here and share one of Pam's favorite stories about using these calendar words in her class:
"I was so excited about what the ELL teacher told me today about what one of my ELL students said to her in group time with her! She came to me and asked, "Pam, what in the world did you say to Juan!" "He told me that he wanted to be "positive" Juan in the "New Year" and have a good "attitude." I was thrilled to tell her he was using words from our January Calendar. Now the cool part about all of this is Juan has been crying a lot and having a bad attitude.
I did some role play about being negative and crying, saying things like,"I don't want to do that, It is too hard, I don't like it." Then I showed them being positive, "I am going to do my best, I can do this." I told them that it also helped their friends when they were positive to them: like smiling at them and encouraging them when they were having a difficult time.
I was happy to see my students starting to apply what they learned!"
Isn't that amazing! The power of words!
You can check out our January Calendar by clicking the image below or get it for free by signing up for our email list:
You can create one yourself by simply adding words to the bottom of your calendar pieces. Which brings me to your first 15 min…Calendar Time!:
Step 1: Introduce the Word
Begin your calendar routine by introducing your word of the day and ask your students to clap the syllables. Write the word on the board and ask your students to pick out blends, endings, vowel sounds, "small words," etc. Pam likes to tell her students they are being word detectives and they love it! Use different notation systems for each answer so the students can see each piece clearly. You can use different colors or different symbols like: circling, underlining, squiggly lines, boxes. Once your students have identified all the pieces of the word, show them how to fit these pieces together to sound out the word. See an example below:
Example from our September words
If you have Kindergarten students: You may have to hold their hands through this the first few times, but the more you do it, the more they'll learn. Remember repetition every day is key. For example, take the word manners: Show your students the word "man" and tell them it's a "little word." Ask them what a man is. You can even draw a stick figure man underneath the "little word." Notate the ending "er" and tell the students what sound it makes. You might even come up with a symbol for word endings so every time they see the symbol, they know it's an ending. You can do the same for blends, little words, and word families. If you're feeling brave, join the phonics terms with movements. Anywhere you can incorporate multiple modalities is great!
If you have second grade or older students: Do the word study part first and see if one of your students can guess the word.
Define the Word
Ask your students what they think the meaning of the word is. If no one can offer a meaning, see if someone can give an example. Equipping your students to make personal connections to the vocabulary will help them to better understand and apply it. Once you've begun this routine, ask your students to make connections between this word of the day and words they've learned before.
Apply the Word
Invite students to offer sentences that include the word of the day. For younger friends, they can draw a picture. For older friends, see if they can use more than one of the target words in a sentence.
Add Sight Words
We suggest that you actually have two words each day. One is a concrete word that is relevant to students. Think of it as a word you can draw a picture of. The other is a sight word, word wall word, whatever you call it. You introduce both words and see if your students can create a sentence using both. Once again, combining these more abstract words with something concrete will help your students better understand them.
Sing and Read
Pam uses our Daily Concept Builders™ books because they include the same words as the calendar. You can also choose songs and books to match your theme. Get a copy your students can write on and you can have them highlight their word of the day words, or even sight words! This is another great opportunity to be "word detectives". This addition to your calendar routine is so much fun and helps the vocabulary really stick.
Pam encourages her students to use these words for writing. She says it gives them confidence and the words help keep them on topic.
Here are a couple of writing samples:
Ready for the last 15 minutes??
Cut and paste sheets! These are some of the few NO PREP sheets we have because we think tactile engagement is so so important for your students. There are three different styles of worksheet that emphasize:
- Word order
- Spelling
- Phonics skills
What makes these even better is that each sheet has a bonus question to encourage deeper thinking. Remember those sight words I was talking about earlier? Well each sheet has a sight word and calendar word for each day! This is how to really step it up to a whole new level. Your students will be using sight words along with their calendar words that are also in their books. I know CRAZY. Click the image below to see more:
Have your students do one of these each day to reinforce what you are learning during your class meeting time. Once the students are comfortable, they can complete these in about 10-15 minutes independently. It is perfect for centers!
Want More Ideas?
Join our FREE workshop to receive an even more detailed outline of how you can not only use your calendar routine, but also center and other small group time to build those vocabulary skills! We will be talking about how you can incorporate reading and writing skills with math, science, and social studies. Just for signing up you will get our FREE vocabulary checklist for word of the day, and we will be offering you some fun things in the webinar as well. Click below to grab a seat!
Alright you fabulous educational specimen, have an awesome week!
