<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">For centuries, people have blamed odd behavior (dogs howling, cats yowling, people being, you know, weirder) on the full moon. You have to admit, it's the kind of sound of which legends are made. So, why <i>do</i> dogs howl at the moon? </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Could it be that dogs are channeling their inner wolf? </span></span></span><br />

You see, wolves don't bark at the moon, either. They might howl to keep track of their pack's movements or to alert other packs nearby of their presence. That's it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>Reasons Dogs "Howl at the <u>Full</u> Moon"</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: x-small;"><br />There's greater visibility during a full moon, which makes it easier to see. Brighter light may be disturbing and/or confusing to dogs.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;">Dogs have a keen sense of hearing and sounds carry better in night-time's cleaner atmosphere. Nocturnal critters are, in all likelihood, getting their attention.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;">Dogs are territorial creatures and may be reminding other dogs to stay away.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;">Dogs are also social animals. Could be they're just communicating with other canines?" <i>Hel-ah-ooooooo!</i> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Whatever the reason, dogs do lift their heads when they howl, but not to howl at the moon. It simply helps them to project their voices better. We do that, too. Try it! Ah-ooooooooo!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These students are intelligent, empathetic, and aware of the controversy, and often the rhetoric, that comes with any election process, and clearly they are developing their voice, their opinions, about this one. We must show them that we value these opinions and challenge them to support their opinions with facts. (That begins with showing them how.) </span></div>

I must say, the ol' ris<i>e and shine</i> isn't exactly working for me right now. Fiddling with people's sleep schedule has proved to be not such a good idea in lots of ways. For example, it takes a bit of adjusting before productivity regains momentum (which costs businesses $434 million annually!) and groggy drivers make the morning commute a bit more of a challenge. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, no. Truth be told, it's just the opposite. In fact, farmers lobbied hard against it because it left them with an hour less time each day to get their crops to market. They actually blocked Daylight Savings Time until 1966 when President Johnson managed to sign it into law.</span></div>

A study made in 2008 found that it actually hikes air conditioning bills on those warm summer days and increases our gasoline usage. (Hey, if it's still light out, why not get in the car and go somewhere?) Also, since mornings are darker, people turn on more lights. </span></div>

No surprise that the farmers opposed it here, too. It became a law after Willet died in 1915.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Never say never. In 2007 the government extended it by a month thanks to the lobbying efforts of businesses who profit from longer evenings (recreational facilities, golf courses, outdoor water parks, etc.). On the flip side, schools/parents don't want their kids waiting for the bus in the dark on those cold winter mornings . . </span><br />

The dried remains of leaves and grass clippings were still evident in the jars. </span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tried to remember the last time the sound of children's laughter punctuated the summer twilight in my back yard, little bare feet padding across the dewy lawn, the twinkling of a thousand tiny moving lights fueling their utter joy and fascination. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think as we get older we become desensitized to the things that once brought us joy. How many adults do you see running around the yard playing tag or </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues</span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There was a time when life seemed mysterious and exciting; anything and everything was possible. We were filled with the wonder of existence, with no expectations about how the world was supposed to be. We trusted. We played. Life was simple and uncomplicated. </span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We need to consciously re-engage our senses.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's three o'clock already; the bus will soon be here</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You must write down assignments and organize your gear</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Get out your homework folder; it's orange and hard to miss--</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Your work that's "almost finished" is what you put in this.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do I know what I'm supposed to do? Do I have a book to read?"</span></div>

<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Make everything you work on the best you've ever done</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And when your homework's finished, go out and have some fun!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just a word of caution as you zip up your backpack</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<li>You increased understanding by including appropriate visuals</li>
<li>You learned to research--to look for more--to challenge sources and analyze discrepancies.</li>
<li>You created a visually appealing product as a result of all your hard work.</li>

Sometimes it's stronger, violent. The wind becomes a tornado, the rain a hurricane. The Earth's atmosphere, for a moment, makes it uninhabitable. And there's nothing we can do about extreme weather but try to predict it, prepare for it and hope that it never happens here." ~ The Discovery Channel</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Thanks to Nasa's Kepler spacecraft, more than 100 alien planets have been discovered. (FYI: When you think </span><b><i class=""><span style="color: #38761d;">Alien,</span><span style="color: #783f04;"> </span></i></b><span style="color: #783f04;">do you think</span> <b><i><span style="color: #38761d;">little green men</span></i></b>?<span style="color: #783f04;"> Au contraire, my friends!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">We are beginning to be able to answer questions people have pondered for thousands of years! For example, On July 23, NASA's Kepler mission confirmed that it discovered another planet 500 light years away. (Want to know what a light year is? Look </span><b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/Numbers/Math/Mathematical_Thinking/how_long_is_a_light_year.htm"><span style="color: #cc0000;">HERE</span></a>.</span></b><span style="color: #783f04;">) It's about our size and in the "habitable zone" of another star, much like our own sun. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So</span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> cool!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">That being said. . .</span></span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we enter what is, perhaps, the most substantive learning time of the year, it's time to remind students that, just as socializing is an important part of their emotional growth, paying attention in class, following directions, and attending to task are vital to their academic growth. It's a balance that needs tweaking every so often. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is much to do, and the learning opportunities are plentiful. I want all students to "own" their learning, to listen respectfully, to persevere, to ask good questions, and to contribute to a safe, meaningful, and enjoyable classroom environment. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every year, we go to our favorite tree farm and cut down the perfect tree. (The selection process is quite complicated and involves a great deal of walking, contemplating, eenie-meenie-minee-moe-ing. . .) </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In and among the sparkle and glitter of new ornaments on my tree are all the ornaments of old -- the traditional <i>Christmas Pickle,</i> placed discretely within the branches, that my children once raced to be the first to find; hand-made ornaments (some a little the worse for wear) from various stages in their childhood. . . It's a <i style="font-weight: bold;">memories tree, </i>and every year we can relive them as we place each precious ornament on the branches<span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And then there's the <i>Birds' Tree.</i> I'm not sure exactly how <i>THIS </i>tradition started, but it's become a major part of our "hall-decking" (fa-la-la-la-la. . .) It's an artificial tree covered with lifelike replicas of at least a dozen species of birds. About 12 of most and twice as many of my favorite bird, the cardinal! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Glittered twigs, white poinsettias, delicate snowflakes, and white lights add to the adornment. It's really beautiful.</span></div>

The worst was wrapping the entire <i>Birds' Tree </i>in a gazillion white lights, inside and out, and having them all, at the most inopportune time (i.e. when the tree was fully decorated), mysteriously go out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The prospect of taking everything off, disassembling the tree (we wrap each layer in lights as we go) and starting over was just too much for this weary decorator. It was my good fortune to find that the very bottom string was the culprit. I just tucked those babies inside and called it good. After all, I had a gazillion lights; a few less wouldn't matter.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, Thanksgiving is over, and all that's left is two weeks' worth of leftovers and the wishbone.

F.Y.I. the Pilgrims didn't make this stuff up. It's a tradition that came from Europe over 2,400 years ago--from the English who got it from the Romans (both of whom called the wishbone "merrithought") who got it from a mysterious pre-Roman civilization called </span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bits of food were scattered on each wedge and a chicken was placed in the center of the circle. As the bird snacked, scribes would note the sequence of letters that it pecked at, and the local priests would use the resulting messages to divine (foretell) the future and answer the city's most pressing questions." 1. </span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apparently they believed that the furcula was holy, and after a chicken was, you know, they would remove it and lay it out in the sun to preserve it. People would pick it up, stroke it, and make wishes on it, believing that it gave them access to the oracle's power. That's how the term "wishbone" came to be. </span><br />
