THANKSGIVING

There are many legends about Thanksgiving, find out the facts with this reconstruction of events.

In 1621 in the USA , after a hard and devastating first year in the New World the Pilgrim's fall harvest was very successful and plentiful. There was corn, fruits, vegetables, along with fish which was packed in salt, and meat that was smoke cured over fires. They found they had enough food to put away for the winter. The Pilgrims had beaten the odds. They built homes in the wilderness, they raised enough crops to keep them alive during the long coming winter, and they were at peace with their Indian neighbours. Their Governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving that was to be shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native American Indians. In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom.
In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving. Since then each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, usually designating the fourth Thursday of each November as the holiday.

WHERE IS IT WRITTEN THAT...???

Where is it written that we can't change education?

Where is it written that the old way is the right way? Where is it written that the traditional education is the only way to get an education? That is the thing: it isn't written anywhere...
Kaplan University has this really inspiring spot about how they bring education to you, wherever you are. They use one of those desks there are at High School and Primary ones, in lots of cool locations

HALLOWEEN HISTORY

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced "sow-in", with "sow" rhyming with cow).
The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.
When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivlas to the tradition.
Around the eighth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints' Day to honor all of the saints that didn't have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints' Day was called Allhallowmas . The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

AUTUMN IS HERE!!!

Autumn is here - a time for transition. In the northern hemisphere this means cooler, shorter days, the appearance of colorful foliage, harvest time, and feasts and festivals.

Here you have a poem about it

Down! Down!

Yellow and brown
The leaves are falling
Over the town.
September is a time
Of beginning for all,
Beginning of school
Beginning of fall.

The sunflower children
Nod to the sun.
Summer is over,
Fall has begun!

The leaves are falling
One by one.
Summer's over
School's begun.
Off to school
We go together
In September's
Sunny weather.

"Come, little leaves," said the wind one day,
"Come o'er the meadows with me and play:
Put on your dresses of red and gold -
For summer is gone and the days grow cold."

Here you have some activities to celebrate that Autumn/ Fall is here

If you don't read, ...

Some years ago, Literacy Foundation's advertising campaign (Canada) took a nice phrase as a motto:"When a child does not read, the imagination disappears". This idea was developing on video simply but striking, that it is possible to watch later. In it, some protagonists of very known stories, as Cinderella, Peter Pan and Wendy, appear in a hospital. One notices them aged and tired, and because of it they look for the medical attention that they need. But especially in their faces the sadness is perceived, because they are sad, very sad. Maybe they suspect that their problems have to see with the mistake of imagination, and that they increase when the stories are not read not listened.
