Today I am grateful for Melissa Kelly, Your Guide to Secondary Education, who sends me great newsletters with valuable tips and all kinds of great help for teachers. – Doc Meek

Secondary Education

From Melissa Kelly, your Guide to Secondary Education As the year comes to an end, teachers will be left with a couple of days to ‘checkout’ of their classroom before they begin their summer vacation in earnest. End of the Year Checklist  Schools typically give teachers a list of what they have to do before they can be released for the summer. However, this typically does not cover everything that a teacher needs to remember before they hand in their keys and leave. This list includes both the obvious and less obvious items that teachers need to make sure that they complete before they head out for summer break.

Search Related Topics:  teaching careers  pregnancy Teaching Seniors  There is a certain attitude in high schools that Senior teachers often get off easy. Typically, their students finish sooner than the rest of the school. Further, the worst behaved students have often times left school for good by that point. Despite these positives, teaching Seniors is not always a bed of roses.

“Merry Christmas, Mom!!! I love you & God Bless!”

Here’s a touching tribute to his Mom from one of my grown up Sons.

Moms sometimes wait years for this kind of ROI (Return on Investment):

Thank you for posing for a picture with me (as an infant, peacefully sucking my pacifier/soother) in your arms and you in the brown chair. Thank you even more for the re-enactment picture 17 years later while I borrowed my nephew’s soother.

Thank you for my intelligence and good looks.

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Today I am grateful for friends, spouses, significant others, children and grandchildren. And good good memories! - Doc Meek 

From: http://beta.photobucket.com/images/i%20love%20my%20grandchildren/

Here is a treasured letter I received from one of my grown sons (“All growed up”):

Dear Dad,

Christmas is here again [2012].

I am sitting here, alone yet surrounded, and I think I have some thoughts to pass on. Take them for what they are worth:

(1) Make a big deal about holidays & birthdays.

(2) Give children/grandchildren your unconditional love and support — and at least one big squeeze of a bear hug each time you first see each other.

(3) Play with your children and grandchildren when they are young, regardless of your differences with anyone.

(4) Sing to your children/grandchildren — [even if it's torture to listen to you wreck perfectly good music].

(5) Share a laugh when kids make a mistake or spill something. I haven’t yet met anyone who hasn’t spilled something or made a mistake.

(6) Have patience. You will never look back on life and think you were too patient, but the opposite is not so true.

(7) Make your child’s favorite food, from scratch… no matter the inconvenience. Do it often!

(8) Create special family traditions that can be continued for generations, even if you have to be the first generation to do it.

One day all children will spend important moments without you, and he or she will look back and remember everything… and that will be all they have. I’m doing this today.

Love,

TOP FITNESS ARTICLE by Dr. Joseph Mercola, Nov 23, 2012

NEW Discovery Boosts Bone Density Better Than Weight Training

This recent study shows how this revolutionary system improved bone density and strength BETTER than weight bearing exercise and without the serious side effects linked to popular, toxic osteoporosis drugs. Plus there are 2 added bonuses: Helps shed body flab faster and ease fibromyalgia pain and fatigue, too.

Story at-a-glance

• If you apply 30 Hertz (30 cycles per second) for 30 seconds, you are triggering/stimulating your neuromuscular system a total of 900 times in just half a minute. This means you can train to athlete status with about 12-25 minutes of Acceleration Training, three days a week, and yet it’s gentle enough to be suitable even for the elderly and the disabled
• In one six month long study, WBVT was found to produce a significant increase in hip area bone density in postmenopausal women, while conventional training was only able to slow the rate of deterioration
• Research has demonstrated that women with fibromyalgia can achieve reduction in pain and fatigue when adding vibrational training to their exercise routine
• Other health benefits include improved joint stability and balance. In one study, the researchers concluded WBVT was a very useful tool to expedite rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction
• Whole Body Vibrational Training (WBVT), also known as Acceleration Training, employs a vibrating platform that force your muscles to accommodate, resulting in dramatic improvement in strength, power, flexibility, balance, tone and leanness

Thank you, Dr. Mercola, for bringing this type of “induced exercise” to our attention. Our gratitude to you!

Amazingly, like all types of exercise, these gentle exercise machines accelerate learning.
