kbkonnected: 30 Sites for Students Who Finish Early! #elemchat #spedchat #4thchat #5thchat #1stchat  From previous post: ”If your students are anything like mine they can get into a lot of mischief if they don’t have something to do, even in a short amount of time. These are sites that are fun, will engage them creatively, as well as intellectually, and also keep them out of trouble.” I just added 10 more sites to my list from a previous post. I know some classrooms are using this list because they come to my old post every week. I occasionally add a few more sites  for them. I don’t know any of their grade levels or interests so I just try to mix it up. It seems they must find things they like because they keep coming back. Here are the links that I have added so far. Litebrite My Oats  Crayola Flame Drawminos Eye Candy This is Sand  (use the “c” to change colors) Spirograph String Spin Bomomo …and there’s no cleanup! JUST ADDED!!! Amazing Animal WebCams FRABOOM!

❝Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.❞

❝It’s hard for everyone. It always seems like it’s hardest for you, but your success and your happiness has much more to do with understanding other people around you than it does with understanding yourself. And, guess what, the homecoming queen probably has crippling phobias too. It sounds cliche, but you have to think about everyone like they’re people, and suddenly you realize that 90% of teenagers have moments where they want to cut themselves, pull out their hair, punch their best friend and sit crying in the shower. And EVERYONE was once a teenager…that goes for your teachers, parents, rock idols, and grand parents…and those people all made it through.❞

 This morning, while I was changing Audrey, I farted

themattsmith:

I mean, it was just she and I, so why bother suppressing it, y’know?

She looked up at me and said “Me too, DaDa!”, very obviously made a concerted effort to push, and farted in response.

Proud father.  Extremely proud father.
