The Education Buzz

Mamacita says:  Welcome to the Education Buzz, where parents and instructors and good citizens find out what’s really going on in the world of education by actively participating in the sharing of ideas, information, and suggestions. Remember, if you don’t keep up on what’s happening, you won’t KNOW what’s happening. And if you choose not [...]

Faith and Begorrah

Mamacita says: May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow. Oh, tis a wondrous thing to be Irish, although the same could not be said earlier in our country’s history. Many people do not know how unwelcome the Irish were here, [...]

The Education Buzz

Welcome to the November 24th edition of the Education Buzz! Every two weeks, the Buzz will bring you a list of education-themed links to help you keep current; after all, how can we form viable opinions about the state of education if we don’t continuously strive to keep current? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, and one [...]

Pogue Ma’Hone, YET Again. AND Again.

Mamacita says: May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow. Oh, tis a wondrous thing to be Irish, although the same could not be said earlier in our country’s history.  Many people do not know how unwelcome the Irish were here,  [...]

Jelly Marbles – Clear Spheres – Home Decor – Live Plants

Mamacita says:  Those green marbles aren’t really marbles at all; they’re jelly marbles.  Clear spheres.  You’re looking at a clear glass vase that is about a foot tall.  I put a pinch of water jelly crystals in it, and added water colored with green food coloring.  As you can see, that tiny pinch of jelly [...]

Let Your Kids Make Their Own Trees!

Mamacita says: This was too good NOT to share!  What a fantastic activity for kids at any time, but especially during holiday season! Just think of all the lessons we can sneak in, with this activity! Holidays, following directions, scissor usage, where paper comes from, recycling. . . . I’m SO using this one with [...]

Everybody Needs A Hero

Teaching at any level requires an energy level many people do not have. Teachers don’t even have it at the end of many long days. People who don’t understand this like to mention vacation days and summers off, usually with “that look” on their faces. They don’t understand. When teachers get home, they’ve got all [...]

Happy Hallowe’en. Eat Up. Sing Along. Read Up. Jerk Down. Smash. Freeze. Blow Up. Enjoy.

Mamacita says: Of course, you all probably already know that if you mix candy corn and salted peanuts together in a big bowl, you’ve got handfuls of PayDay bar goodness. Peanuts are a meat substitute, and candy corn is pretty much fat-free (paraffin never hurt anybody) so really, a big bowl of candy corn and [...]

BlogIndiana, WordCamp, BlogHer, BlogWorldExpo, and Pickles

Mamacita says:   In a few days, I’ll be off to Blog Indiana – which you don’t have to be from Indiana to attend, why don’t all of you sign up, too? I’m hooked now on writing conferences.  Social media get-togethers have become my crack cocaine.  No longer do I have to cook my meth [...]

BlogHer Is Officially Over, Except That It’s Never Really Over

Mamacita says:  The day after Christmas BlogHer is always hard for me. A full year of intense anticipation, building up to an amazing flash of fun, love, learning, friends, and hearty partying educational experiences of many descriptions, and then BLAH, home again. I mean, I love to be home, but comparatively speaking, a fancy hotel [...]
