In a couple more weeks it’s going to be Christmas break. I’m looking forward to Christmas break because I get to sleep in and not have to wake up for school. I enjoy seeing the decorations outside of people's houses and their Christmas trees lit up in the windows. I love to spend the break time away from school with my family and friends. We tend to watch lots of Christmas movies while munching on snacks. This year however, I’m going to be a bit lonely without my dog Cyrus. We usually get him a toy, treats, and a tennis ball for Christmas. This year though we won’t be purchasing any of those items. Cyrus was always so excited and sniffed the treats we got for him right out. I’m really going to miss not having him around with his tail wagging
Everybody knows why the Grinch stole Christmas. The Grinch was an orphan. He came from another planet far, far away maybe there was not enough air on that little dwarf planet. Not even enough for a mouse. This is why he fell off the planet and landed on an old ladies couch. She was very nice but Santa didn’t know he existed because he landed there on Christmas Eve after Santa had already made his rounds.
I know how Esther feels about this, I know that its probably not the same but last year was really hard, I lost a lot of really important people to me, and to top it all off my sister and her husband and my niece were stationed in Pennsylvania, and it was the hardest thing to say goodbye, I can’t imagine how hard it would be for me to not to have said goodbye, considering me and my sister are very close.
This is not your typical Christmas tale. This story is about a group of friends who decide giving is better than receiving around this time of year. There are tons of children who aren’t fortunate enough to get Christmas presents, let alone plenty who don’t even have family to spend the holidays with. Three best friends ended up figuring that out and worked together to truly create a Christmas miracle.
For some, their pet is all that they have. People are never alone when at home with their pet because they are at home with family. Today, animals fill the void of loneliness that is felt by millions. When people come home after a long day, it’s their pet, or family, that brings them back. Their family will jump into their laps in excitement of seeing their loved one.
Play time is officially over. We carry each tired puppy to a big box my dad had made that is full of straw and sitting in our living room. We like to keep the puppies inside at night so they do not freeze outside when it becomes cool when the sun goes down. My dad goes to retrieve Remmy and she runs into the living room and hops in the box to be with her family. My dad always brings back a dog treat from the utility room to give to Remmy because she is such a good mother to them and she can never get enough
After a long summer, the time has finally come for Sam and his classmates to return to school. Sam dreads going back to school, because he knows that the first weeks of school mean long, boring reviews. Despite the fact that Sam and his friends do not like to study topics they have already learned, they need to review because most students forget what they learned over the three-month break period. Many students can relate to Sam, wasting two weeks or more at the beginning of the school year. Parents, teachers, and students across the United States believe a better option exists that will waste less time. Many suggest the idea of a year-round school schedule. Almost all schools should adopt a year-round schedule because of the many advantages including higher academic
How time does a teacher need to get ready for a new school term? One day? No one would suggest that one day is enough time to close out one term and prepare for the next, but that is exactly what happens in some school districts that have year-round schedules. For years different districts have been experimenting with these schedules, and now even more are considering converting to year round schedule. For many reasons, schools should stay with the traditional schedule.
Routine is an important part of people’s lives. School is a place where almost everyone routinely went to, which on average, consisted of going for about nine months and a three month break. The room forms of schedules that occur in year round schools are 45-15, 60-20, and 90-30 plans. The first number is how many days the students go to school before they acquire their official break which is the second number. The reason we have our school schedules set up the way they are now is because of the agrarian times when families needed help in the spring and summer with the farming of their crops. Ever since then, America
Everyone loves a good snow day; for the fortunate few it means taking the day off and playing in the snow, or perhaps snuggling into a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa. Yet sometimes we just don’t get snow; we get the blizzards and ice storms that come with. Mother earth is unpredictable, while we have gotten better with predicting weather over the years, it is still a guessing game- it could change at any moment.
‘‘Camp is one of the few institutions where young people experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression and true participation in a community environment’’ Says Dr. Scales. The traditional calendar is the best method of schooling because if students had year-round school they would have to pay more, there would be more people at vacation spots and, sadly students would have no summer camps.

Since time is of the essence, do I have enough of it for your dog? Dogs (especially puppies) are like children, so if you want to know what it's like to have kids before you actually have kids, get a dog! Canine friends require a substantial amount of your time, patience, effort, and attention. If you find yourself working late hours regularly and/or frequently traveling really ask yourself if having a dog is the best fit for you. They deserve the love and attention that they willingly give to you!
I am sure many of you probably didn’t think a December Newsletter would be themed on lyrics from the Eagles. I am sure this time of the year is not easy for many of us. As we consider our list of to do’s before Christmas, some of us are probably feeling overwhelmed. I know as I look at my calendar of just what I still have to plan for worship services and activities just for Bethany, I am feeling the Christmas Cram, as one friend called it one year. This doesn’t include the various activities and traditions Amanda and I have (or still don’t know about yet).
Frosty the Snowman waves hello alongside Santa 's reindeer that are ready to take off. Candy canes line the sidewalk and the ginger bread dolls dance in a merry circle. The trees all sparkle with thousands of red, yellow, purple, blue, and orange lights. Out back, Mary and Joseph stand over baby Jesus, Choo-Choo train’s chug in spot, stars twinkle with bright yellow bulbs, and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause wave in the distance. Kerkhoven, MN, the location of the happiest house on the block. Every year my breath is always taken away as my eyes struggle to soak in the utter abundance of Christmas spirit. I 'm smiling and we 're not even inside yet.
When I started hanging out with Anthony I met Pancake first (her nickname is Patty or Pattycake). I was really scared of her when I first saw her because she was a big dog and all the pets we have at home are small so I wasn’t used to her size. She didn’t bark at me she just wanted to jump on me and always smell me. After awhile I would pet her more and more and then I wouldn’t mind her being all up on me. When you first look at her she looks kind of silly because her bottom teeth just stick out. I don’t know what kind of dog she is but I love the way her fur looks. Junior didn’t come along till later, Anthony’s mom bought junior from a friend and he is a smoky grey Pitbull. They got junior before they moved houses so he was still a baby. Now he is 5 months. A week ago he got out of the gate and he was lost for about two days but then we found him thankfully. Junior likes napping with Anthony’s mom, he loves eating fruit loops and he loves Pattycake. I love his fur color and how he is so tiny right now. I know he is going to get a little bigger and right now he is going through a teething stage which is cute but it has the yard tore up. Both of these dog are wonderful and I love that they are so sweet and playful. Even though they are not my dogs I still cherish
