Helping Families
Prepare for the
End of the
School Year
~Dr. Carletta D. Washington Author, Speaker, Consultant
www.education4allinc.com
There is so much for families to prepare for
as the school year comes to a close: state
testing, prom, athletic competitions, exams,
graduation, summer break. In the midst of a
host of existing family obligations, the end
of the school year can be filled with joy,
excitement, anxiety, frustration, financial
hardship, and even loneliness.
Lets all work together to help make the end of the school year a special one for each and
every family in our neighborhood, school,
Church, etc. Here are a few suggestions:
State Testing & Exams.
Make sure students get 8 hours of rest each night before testing.
Developing a schedule for activities,
chores, dinner, studying, etc. will
ensure students are able to stay
focused and on task.
Make sure students power down their cell phones and other
electronics before going to bed.
Offer to study with students so that they do not feel alone or overly
anxious about testing.
Prom & Graduation. This is a special time
for our young people. However, many of
them need to work in order to afford prom
tickets, cap & gown, dress attire,
transportation, accessories, pictures,
yearbooks, and all that comes along with
helping to make prom and graduation
special. Although working can provide
students with money and a good work ethic,
it can limit a students time for studying, family togetherness, extracurricular
activities, etc.
Sponsor a student by offering to purchase items that he/she may need
for prom and/or graduation.
Donate your gently used formal attire to charity, particularly those
accepting prom & graduation attire.
Contact a high school or college/university counselor directly
to make a donation to meet a
students need.
Athletic competitions. Athletics requires a
great deal of time and money. Besides the
uniform fees, costs associated with
competitions and travel can be very high.
For many student athletes, the-end-of-the-
year state competitions are the highlight of
their life!
Sponsor a student.
Make competition a special event by bringing a group with you to the
state competition as a personal
cheering section for the student and
his/her team! Your presence will
mean so much to students!
Summer break. Many parents are
unsure of what their children will be doing
during the summer while they are at work.
This results in several concerns which we
can help other parents address.
Offer to babysit at a reasonable rate or on a rotational basis with other
parents.
Check in on students periodically while they are home alone.
Offer to drive students to summer activities at a reasonable rate or
develop a carpool rotation.
Sponsor a students summer camp experience.
Travel, Explore, & Enjoy!
~Tierra Gerdine
Traveling is something that many of us want
to do, but dont have the budget to do. If you
are one of those parents who have a desire to
plan a family vacation for the upcoming
summer months then grab a pen and paper,
continue reading, and start taking notes.
According to travelwithkids.about.com,
there are 7 easy steps to cheaper family
trips.
The first step is to create a new email
account solely for planning your vacations
and finding the best deals. This is a great
idea. It saves time by not having to sort
through your personal emails and its all the
vacation information youd want in one
single location.
The second step is to sign up for essential
deal alerts. One of the best ways to keep
costs down is to find a destination thats
within driving distance. There are many deal
finding sites such as Groupon Getaways,
Living Social Escapes, and Amazon Local
that will send you an alert whenever a local
deal comes about.
Step 3 is helpful if you do not want to stay
within driving distance. Step 3 is to be the
first to know about great airfare deals. One
way that I do this is by checking for deals on
Tuesdaysearly in the morning. Ive
always been able to find the cheapest flights
this way.
Step 4 is to round out your hotel wish list.
What this means is to make a list of the
hotels that you want to visit and sign up for
their special offers as well.
Step 5 involves being open to cruise lines. If
cruises are for you and your family, consider
a family-friendly cruise line. There are off
seasons that occur throughout the year, and
thats the best time to book your cruise. A
lot of times, the deals are so amazing that
its too good to pass up.
Step 6 is to find out deals from tourist
offices. Theres a local tourism office where
I reside, and I look forward to visiting them
for my next vacation. In doing so, I plan to
find some good deals, and gain even more
tips on how to best plan a trip within my
familys budget.
The final step, step 7, involves patience. Sit
back and watch the deals come in, and then
narrow down the best ones. All of these
steps make it possible to travel cheaply.
Here are a few other suggestions that may be
helpful depending on how much time you
have to plan. They include:
Participate in the 52 week savings
challenge. At the end of the year, use
the money you save to fund part or
all of your vacation.
Use a travel credit card, if you can,
to build up points.
Use points that youve earned on the
credit card you currently have and
apply the points towards travel. Most
companies let you use the points
towards hotel stays, car rentals, or
airline miles.
As you sit down with your family, use these
tips and be sure to include all the things
thatll make your vacation one that everyone will truly remember!
Mentors
~Lydia Douglas
www.booksbylydia.com
Parents, do your sons and daughters have a
mentor? Are you children serving as a
mentor to their peers?
I was involved with a group of young people
and they really inspired me. They were there
for each other. It is very important for our
young people to have someone on the same
page with them.
Having someone they can trust who will
understand them allows them to be more at
ease studying and doing homework, for
instance. Mentoring is a two-way process
whereby each party learns from each other
in a big way.
We have to do all we can in order to keep
our young people a step ahead so they may
fulfill their dreams. With all that is going on
within our communities, we should
encourage our young people to learn from
what is happening today. We do not want
them to learn the wrong lesson and end up
on the wrong side of what is right and what
is wrong.
I talked with some young people and they
were encouraged by each other. One is a
now college student and one has been
granted a scholarship. Others were excited
and happy for this group of young people
and that has motivated them to continue
their goals and dreams, and to work even
harder to fulfill them. This is why it is very
important for our young people to be in the
mist of others who are on the same page. It
is also important to let them know that we
are proud of them and we support them.
We have some great young people. We only
need to let them know that we are here with
them and for them. And a reminder for
them is education is the key that will open any door in any direction they choose to go
in.
We adults have a great responsibility for our
young people. Communication is another
key in teaching them about life and what to
do and expect. There are lessons to be
learned in all areas of life.
Romans 8:28a tells us, All things work together for the good of those that love the
Lord. We need to let them know that some good is coming out of all of this confusing.
We must teach our kids along the way to do
what is right.
Mentorship is very important. A lot of what
is going on now is new to them and we need
to be there to answer any and all questions
they might have.

5 Ways to Win At Fitness
~Kem Smith
www.kissfitnessstudio.com
www.kemsmith.com
Our society is obsessed with appearance.
Images are paraded in front of consumers
twenty-four hours per day through multiple
media outlets. Its never surprising when I encounter people who are passionate about
their appearance and as a result set lofty
personal fitness goals. I can never predict
who will achieve the goal and who will fall
short. I have studied the behavior of
successful people. If you are looking for a
way to get back in the saddle, heres a quick and dirty guide to winning at fitness.
Get back in the game.
Quitters fail to win because they arent even playing the game. When you hit a brick wall
while getting in shape, it is always important
to remember why you started. Your why should be the reason that you push ahead.
You have to want it badly. So pick yourself
up, dust off the cake and cookies, and get
back on board with eating healthy and
exercising.
Go all out.
The only way to get better at anything is to
practice. The only way to get better at
fitness is to repeat fitness activities. Go all
out and be as fit as your schedule will allow.
There are no cheats. When you find yourself
struggling, throw out the diet pills and
surgery options. Go hard by doing what
athletes call two-a-days. That means you
work out twice a dayeveryday. Allow your results to fuel you because after 2
weeks of two-a-days, your body will start to
thank you.
Quit focusing on the money.
Investing in your fitness pays dividends that
cannot be measured by a diversified
portfolio. However, being fit can open the
door to opportunities: being able to stand up
straight, having a strong body, and
endurance gives you confidence that others
do not have. Make room in your budget for
your membership. Quit focusing on the
expense of being healthy because its less than the cost of an emergency room visit.
Find a cheerleader.
I am a cheerleading coach. I have found that
these girls can really make or break a game.
Something about excitement creates
momentum. Momentum can create a work
out frenzy. Before you realize it the person
who is cheering you on, will have piloted
you to the success you truly deserve. Dont worrycheerleaders are easy to find. Look for the person who is always smiling and
always thinking of something encouraging
to speak into your life.
Stay plugged in.
When you feel like quitting, dont. Its that simple. You have to stay plugged in. Push
yourself to leave the house and push
yourself to be your best. If you are a
member or former member of K.I.S.S. come
back! Lets Keep It Sexy Sistas together!
Supporting Students during
Test-Taking Time ~Billie G. Mathews,
B.A., M.A., PhD (ABD)
Professional Development
Curriculum Development

Whether we agree or disagree with the
standardized testing of students in our public
schools, we know that testing is a reality.
Springtime is the time of year when schools
conduct their standardized-based assessment
(SBA). Other testing takes place throughout
the school year, but it is the big test at the end of the year that seems to cause the most
stress. This article is written to provide tips
on how we, as teachers, parents, and
families, can support students during the
school year as well as SBA testing time.
Throughout the school year, teachers are
planning lessons and teaching based on
content standards adopted by national, state,
and district departments of education. Tests
that are administered are based on the
standards by grade level and subject. The
mission for teachers is to design lessons so
that student learning is achieved while being
sensitive to a variety of factors including
language, culture, learning style, and
socioeconomic factors. This is a careful
balance for teachers.
The role for parents and families is to
support and nurture learning. This is
accomplished by providing a positive
environment for learning away from the
school setting. Make sure that your child has
a place at home to read, study, and do
homework. In addition, getting enough
sleep contributes to the learning process.
According to WebMD (n.d.), children 3-6
years old should get 10 - 12 hours per day,
7-12 years old 10 - 11 hours per day, and
12-18 years 8 - 9 hours per day. Establishing
reasonable bedtime hours is important.
Once the student, teacher, parents and
families have established foundations for
good learning habits, preparing for testing is
a daily duty. There are a number of
recommendations on how to prepare your
child for the test.
Begin with Going to bed early: This will
allow your childs body to get enough rest to perform well the next day.
Getting up on time: This gives the student
enough time to get ready for the day and not
feel rushed.
Eating a nutritious breakfast: Balanced
breakfast foods such as eggs, toast or cereal,
fruit, and a glass of milk, juice or water will
keep energy levels up for test taking.
It is important for students to remember to
be positive and pace themselves. Moving
through difficult questions and coming back
to them is a good idea. Skipping, returning,
and checking are good strategies.
Of very high importance is for students to be
told that it is okay that they do not know
everything and to do their very best.
Whether it is the big test at the end of the year or a chapter or unit test, these are some
suggestions to make test taking time the best
that it can be for your student.

If We Continue to Allow
Unjust Practices, Our Children
Will Continue to Fail
~Dr. Shonta M. Smith
www.drshontasmith.com
What can I say or should I say, how am I am
going to discuss this? Well, there is only
one way to say it and that is to tell it like it
is. The sad truth is, these incidents, and
situations like it, take place on a daily basis
in Americas school systems. People pretend it is not happening. Dont want to acknowledge that its going on, and just turn the other way so they dont have to deal with the situation. Well, one way or another
we will either address the issue today or face
the consequences of not doing anything
tomorrow. We are failing our children. If
we as a nation continue to stand by the
wayside and do absolutely nothing, our
nation will crumble.
As I was sitting in the library preparing to
work with one of my students, I observed
another adult, parent, and child. The mother
was dropping her son off to work with his
tutor. As an educator, I am always
interested in the strategies and techniques
that other teachers implement. Well, I hate
to say it, but what this educator was doing
was ungodly. She was unkind, cold and
outright cruel. It saddened me and I so very
much wanted to intervene, but in this day
and age you never know what people will
do. So I silently said a prayer and asked for
an opportunity to approach the parent when
she returned. The tutor never allowed the
little boy to sit down. She had him put his
backpack down, and briefly spoke with the
mother. After the mother left, the mayhem
began.
At first it appeared as if she was just merely
reviewing sight words with her student.
However, things took a different spin when
the young man had a hard time pronouncing
the word or couldnt say the word. She would hold up a notecard and tell him, Say the word. You should know this word. You
will stand here until you say the word.
Dont lean on the chair, say the word.
You could tell the student honestly did not
know the word. Unfortunately, that did not
make a difference. For 30 minutes his tutor
held a notecard up and basically bullied him.
He cried and told her over and over again,
I dont know the word. I am trying. I dont know the word. Please, I dont know the word.
She decided to call his mom and tell her that
her son was having a tantrum. Within about
ten minutes, his mom returned to the library.
When she got to the table, she told him to sit
down and to get it together. She then asked
for the notecards and reviewed the words
with her son. She had him sound out each
word. If he could not sound out the word,
she told him look at the word, spell it, and
try again. If he could not say the word, she
would say the word, have him repeat the
word, and then spell the word. This went on
for about five minutes. After that, his
mother told her son to focus and get on task.
The students mother got up and began looking at books while the tutor began
working with her son. The tutor instructed
him to take out his word list and told him to
use each word in a sentence. As he began
writing sentences, she told him not to use
the word I in any sentence. The young man had some difficulties thinking of other
words to use. The tutor started to tell him
what he should be able to do and suddenly
his mother returned to the table.
To make a long story short, the teacher and
mother began talking. This time the tutor
asked the mother if her son had tantrums at
home and at school. The mother said, No.
The tutor then stated that if these tantrums
escalated, her son would have problems in
school. She even went as far as telling the
mother to speak with the pediatrician about
his behaviors and then started talking about
autism. She further discussed her years of
experience as a special education teacher.
The more the tutor talked, the more I prayed.
Now you may be saying this has absolutely
nothing to do with you. Well, it does have
something to do with you and me. It takes a
village to rear a child, and if the village is
aware of discrepancies and does nothing, the
village is part of the problem. The issue at
hand has nothing to do with the student; it
has everything to do with the teacher who
was tutoring him.
Instead of meeting the child at his
instructional level she bullied, embarrassed,
disrespected and humiliated him. Teaching
requires that the teacher use strategies and
techniques that are beneficial to the students
they serve. At no point did this teacher do
that. She found fault with the child. Our
children deserve better. If we continue to
allow unjust practices, our children will
continue to fail.
My prayer was answered! As I got ready to
leave, I walked slowly hoping the mother
would leave. I waited for her outside in my
truck. As I prepared to drive off the parking
lot, the mother and son got in their car. I got
out of my truck, tapped on her window, gave
her a note I had written and told her,
There is nothing wrong with your
son. He is a bright, intelligent young
man. Please give me a call to
discuss your options.
She thanked me.
As I drove off, my cell phone rang and it
was the young mans mother. We talked for about five minutes. During our discussion,
we discussed key strategies and techniques
used to teach children to read. In addition,
we discussed what effective teachers do. I
concluded the conversation highlighting the
positives I saw in her and her son, and
provided her with additional suggestions and
recommendations.
As I hung up the phone, I thanked the
Almighty for answering my prayer, and
allowing me to be a ray of light and hope.
We all must remember: we are either part of
the problem or part of the solution.
What steps are you willing to take to save
our children?
Living Your Passion
~Curlie McCalla
Intrapreneur Development Expert
www.facebook.com/empowerandsoar
Are you living your dreams? Are you doing
what you love? Do you even know what
your dreams are? Or, what you love?
Asking yourself these questions will allow
you to create and live your life on purpose
while enjoying the journey.
A number of years ago, I started on the path
of self-discovery. I was in a job/career and I
was bored, feeling stuck and I just wanted
out. I knew I wanted something more,
something different but didnt know what it was. In my quest for truly understanding
who I am and what I desired, I came across
a book called The Passion Test by Janet and
Chris Attwood. It has helped me to create a
plan in how to identify my passion and the
things that matter most to me.
Many of us never take the time to sit with
ourselves and go within to get to know the
magnificent person who is always following
us around. I decided to take the time, and I
was amazed at what I discovered about
myself. I would love for you to find out just
how awesome you really are as well. Here
are a few simple steps that you can start with
to get you on your way of living your
passionate life. I will give you some
guidelines, the steps to take, and some
suggestions for how to stay in action
afterwards.
1. Guidelines: The DOs and Donts. 1. Do the test in one sitting. It should
take about 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Do find a quiet place where you can relax your mind and go deep within
and think about your ideal life.
3. Dont consult with anyone. This is about the things that light your fire.
4. Dont take the test as a couple or group.
5. Dont be concerned if it sounds unrealistic. This is very personal and
it wont be like anyone else.
2. The Test.
Step 1
Make a list of at least 10 of the most important things that would give you
a life of joy and fulfillment. Do this
without judgment or censoring.
Let your list sit for a while. Come back to it in a few hours or the
next day.
Step 2
Compare the items on your list and identify the top 5 which are most
important to you.
Do this by taking the first item and compare it to each passion on the
list. As you go down your list,
whichever is more important, label
as #1.
Do the same with your 2nd item. Compare with the remaining items,
when you get to the next best one,
that becomes #2.
Continue this process and go through your complete list and identify your
top 5.
Now that you are clear, what you want will
show up in your life but only to the extent of
your clarity, so be specific. MAGIC
HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE CRYSTAL
CLEAR. Now, take action. Faith without works is dead (James 2:14).
3. Suggestions (Note: What you put your
attention on grows stronger in your life).
Get a few 3 x 5 index cards and write your 5 passions on each card.
Put one on your bathroom mirror. Put one on your computer In your purse or wallet On the dashboard of your car
This way you are constantly reminded of
your passionate life several times a day.
Continue taking action, this is critical even if
its baby steps.
Taking the time to discover ourselves is
paramount to living a passionate life. A sure
rule that will guarantee this, whenever you
are faced with a choice, a decision or an
opportunity.choose in favor of your passions.
Following the passion test process will
certainly get you on your way. Take the test,
identify your top 5 passions, put in the
necessary work to live your passionate life
filled with joy, peace, harmony and bliss!

Inclusive Education
~Esthere Scott, Ed.S.
It has gone by many different names:
Mainstreaming. Class-within-a-class.
Integration. The term that most
accurately describes the goal for each
student with a disability is Inclusive
Education. This means the ability to
receive education with their general
education counterparts on a full-time
basis.
Its been quite a journey with regard to teaching students with disabilities in
general education. The above phrases
represent how schools have attempted
to have students with disabilities in
general education. It will truly be a
landmark day when we talk about
teaching students with disabilities
alongside of students without
disabilities as simply education.
Inclusive education means that students
with disabilities are supported in age-
appropriate general education classes in
their home schools and receive the
individualized instruction based on
their individualized education programs
(IEPs) within the context of the core curriculum and general education class
activities.
Inclusion is an effort to make sure
students with disabilities go to school
along with their friends and neighbors
while also receiving whatever specially
designed instruction and support they
need to achieve high standards and
succeed as learners. Inclusive education
is not the same as mainstreaming or
integration.
Mainstreaming merely attempts to move students from special
education classrooms to general
education classrooms only in
situations where they are able to
keep up with their typically
developing peers without
specially designed instruction or
support.
Integration provides only part-time inclusion, which prevents
the students from becoming full
members of the classroom
community.
In the wake of Common Core, some
may be wondering how students with
IEPs will fare. Some districts have begun experiencing success with
Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
In short, this is a way for students of
varying learning rates and styles to
access the curriculum and standards
effectively.

it aligns to Common Core, click on the

Simple Salmon
~Angie Sievers
Founder/President
The St. Louis Cooks
www.thestlouiscooks.com
We eat salmon a lot at our house! Everyone
loves it; however, we always stick with the
same recipe teriyaki salmon on the grill. Its great, but I really wanted to change it up. This time I wanted to bake it. I
wanted some strong flavors to come through
so I decided to include some Dijon mustard,
a little honey, and some breadcrumbs. How
can you go wrong with that?
The end result was pretty amazing and the
family agreed. This will be another go to recipe for salmon at our household. Plus, it
is super simple to prepare.
Ingredients:
4-5 (4 oz.) Salmon Fillets (We buy
Costco salmon, fresh and frozen.)
1/4 Cup of Butter, melted (optional)
3 Tablespoons of Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 Cup of Honey
4 Teaspoons of Fresh Parsley,
chopped
1/4 Cup of regular bread crumbs
and/or Panko bread crumbs
1/2 Cup of homemade bread crumbs
using crushed Multi-grain Crackers
or any kind of Crackers
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a shallow baking pan with foil.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and
honey. In another bowl, stir together
the breadcrumbs and parsley. For
the breadcrumbs, get creative and
use what you have a home. Thats what I did when I put this
together. The homemade crushed
breadcrumbs really add a lot of extra
flavor and texture.
3. Brush each salmon fillet with the Dijon mixture. Then place on the
foil lined pan. Sprinkle each fillet
with the breadcrumbs.
4. Bake the salmon for 12-16 minutes in preheated oven. Season with salt
and pepper. You can garnish with a
lemon wedge if you prefer.
Enjoy!
Fresh Spinach and Bacon
The St. Louis Cooks
www.thestlouiscooks.com
Looking for that last minute, quick, throw
together, side dish? This spinach dish is for
you! On this particular night, I was
looking for something different instead of
the usual go to quick vegetables such as corn and peas. I had some fresh
spinach from Costco inside of the
refrigerator. It was time to use it as a side
dish instead of doing the normal spinach
salad.
I threw together this recipe in about 8
minutes which is exactly how long it takes
to cook.
Wow, it was really good! I cant say that Im a huge fan of cooked spinach, however I do like it when there are great flavors
involved. The combination of Rotel and
bacon were a perfect fit! The Rotel added
some extra zing, not to mention bacon is
always a great addition to many dishes! We
LOVE bacon! My 10 year old son even
liked this spinach dish!
Another bonus about this dishit only takes 8 minutes! I would suggest making this dish
when everything else is ready for the table.
It is that quick and easy.
Ingredients:
10-15 Ounces of fresh Spinach
(Earthbound Farm Organic Baby
Spinach from Costco)
1/2 Can of Rotel (original and
strained)
4-5 Slices of cooked Bacon (broken
up in pieces)
1-2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
2-3 Cloves of fresh Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste ( We prefer
Sea Salt.)
Directions:
1. Heat Olive Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a garlic press,
add the fresh minced garlic to the
oil. Next add the Spinach. It will
shrink very quickly.
2. Stir in the Rotel Tomatoes and Chilies. Then mix together the
Bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
