Wordless Wednesday: "The Alarm Clock" by Diego Rivera

"The Alarm Clock" by Diego Rivera Courtesy of Museo Frida Kahlo I found this amazing painting through Google Art Project. If you haven't hear, Google Art Project allows museums worldwide to upload their art so that everyone connected to the Internet now can view some of the amazing art created throughout history. I absolutely love this idea; after all, I doubt I'll be able to visit all of these galleries, even if I suddenly became a billionaire. If you use Chrome as your web browser, you can find the Google Art Project app here . If you either don't use Chrome or don't want another app, go to http://www.googleartproject.com/ to see how a little bit of nice from the museums goes a long way. By the way, I chose this painting because I like how the alarm clock looks so sleepy. :-)

After reading the requirements document, I not only filled out the survey, but I also called the office of Pamela Smith to speak with someone. Why? Because I have several issues with the proposed graduation requirements, starting with the idea of a "Capstone Project". Basically, the new requirements include having all seniors do a Capstone Project, which is: a final and in-depth project that allows

Welcome Back to School!!!

The 2012-2013 school year begins today in Cobb County. Curiosity and trepidation fill the school buses as kids start a new grade. Will I like my teacher? Will I have too much homework? Will I have friends in my class or classes? What will happen this year??? Parents have just as many questions, wondering if they (the parents) will like the teacher, if their child/children will do well academically and socially, and if they will be able to afford all the related expenses (PTA, school supplies, foundations, new clothes, more school supplies,...) Though I have said this before, I will say it again - talk to your child's teacher . Teachers really are human, too, and will not either send you to detention or hate your child because you want to talk to her (or him). So ask the teacher how she wants to communicate, either email, notes from home, or phone calls, and then treat her as a participant in your child's life. I make a point of asking what is the teacher&#
