    We wanted a Gaelic name to go with our Scottish heritage. We each had unlikeable aquaintances with almost every Gaelic name in existence so we went with Alasdair since neither of us knew one.

      That is a fascinating story. Thanks for sharing. How do you pronounce it?

    I'm a teacher and with that I have heard almost every name imaginable, spelled every which way. Every name reminds me of a student that I had in class. Boys names we were set and made our decision fairly early, but it was really hard to figure out a girls name we both agreed on. We eventually settled on Mara. It was a mix of both of our names put together Matt and Sarah.

The Incident "Black Out"

It was three year ago today that I had my most terrifying life experience. The day started out like any other day. I woke up, educated the youth of America, and scurried home quickly to beat the weekend traffic to head up north. We had a seasonal trailer in Sturgeon Bay, which we had not been up there since last October. My wife (Sarah) and I were excited to take our son (Carter) camping for the first time that year. He was only 10 months old. After making the exciting three-hour drive up north, with a 10 month old, we needed to get all of our stuff unpacked and organized. I figured we had all weekend to work on things around the trailer, so I wasn’t going to go to crazy that first night. I turned on the water, water heater, electricity, carried the dogs cage in and of course made sure the T.V. worked. My parents and brother had campers right next to ours. The Friday night ritual was once everyone got up north, got unpacked, we would make frozen pizzas, have a few...

Golden Shower

  After a few weeks, and a mouse incident behind us, I was finally starting to settle in as a 2nd grade teacher. It was not my ideal age, but it was a job. Having just finished my student teaching, a job was exactly what I needed. One morning when I arrived at school I noticed there were a bunch of unfamiliar faces walking into the building. I asked a co-worker where everyone was today? She informed me they had a curriculum meeting up at the district office and we may even be short subs today. If that was the case we would need to fill in places throughout the day. Well, adapting, filling and subbing has what I have been doing best the last few weeks and today didn’t seem to be any different from any other day. So on I went to get my day started.      As the day went on and my class had sub after sub. I could start seeing the tide change throughout the day. I was a sub too, but I had already been there a few weeks and pretty much had the routine and expectat...

Learning with Legos

Learning with Legos    What kid, or even adult for that matter, doesn't love to play with legos? Legos are one of the most versatile learning tools we can use to make learning fun, while still challenging our kids. Not only can we use Legos to help them learn new concepts, they also helps them practice their fine motor skills! Most families have Legos laying around their house, probably on the floor waiting to be stepped on! Below I have attached a few activities/challenges adults can pose to their children to challenge them creatively, while also making the learning fun at home. Lego Symmetry    The first one is  Lego Symmetry  Kids will use their fine motor skills to learn about symmetry and replicate it on the other side of the lego base plate. Material s: Lego base plate (any size), Legos and tape/ rubber band, yarn or string Put the rubber band (could be yarn tape, string whatever you are using to divide your base plate in half) down the m...
