Eva Longoria is about to graduate with a masters in chicano studies! Amazing! Rep ethnic studies, woman. :-) It was ethnic studies that would help me critically analyze my current place and conceived role in society according to my intersectionalities of identity and which ultimately makes me the person I am today.

I am still shocked at the fear and attempt to ban ethnic studies in parts of our nation. It scares me.

coordinatingcardigans: mixedupdays: “Someone else’s behavior is never an excuse for your own” stays up in my classroom all year. I use it in a lesson in early September on the concept of personal responsibility. Thereafter, at any cry of “he told me to do it” or “she did it first”, I will bring the entire class to a halt so we can reread this phrase and I can reinforce the concept of “YOU are in charge of YOU”. I think it’s been very successful, and at the very least my students learn very quickly that blaming others for their actions doesn’t fly with me, and they quit trying it! Yes!

seriouslyamerica: Meet the fourth-grader who has been dubbed “The Michael Moore of the Grade-School Lunchroom” by the New York Times, Zachary Maxwell: Like many things in the life of a fourth grader, Zachary’s movie started as a dispute with his parents. He told them that he wanted to start packing his own lunch, but they were skeptical. Lunch is free at his school, P.S. 130 Hernando De Soto in Little Italy, and his parents liked the look of the Department of Education’s online menus, which describe delicious meals, full of whole grains and fresh vegetables, some even designed by celebrity chefs. … In the film, Zachary, who is not above cheesy costumes and goofy special effects, makes a point that is under the radar of most conversations about the quality of school lunches: that despite the Education Department’s efforts to improve nutrition, there is a disconnect between the wholesome meals described on school menus and the soggy, deep-fried nuggets frequently dished up in the lunchrooms. This kid is going places. Many of my middle school friends went to P.S. 130 as kids, and I went to school a ten minute walk from there! I don’t know how I survived on school lunch all those years, K-12…hurts me to think about it.

Meet the fourth-grader who has been dubbed “The Michael Moore of the Grade-School Lunchroom” by the New York Times, Zachary Maxwell:

Like many things in the life of a fourth grader, Zachary’s movie started as a dispute with his parents. He told them that he wanted to start packing his own lunch, but they were skeptical. Lunch is free at his school, P.S. 130 Hernando De Soto in Little Italy, and his parents liked the look of the Department of Education’s online menus, which describe delicious meals, full of whole grains and fresh vegetables, some even designed by celebrity chefs.

…

In the film, Zachary, who is not above cheesy costumes and goofy special effects, makes a point that is under the radar of most conversations about the quality of school lunches: that despite the Education Department’s efforts to improve nutrition, there is a disconnect between the wholesome meals described on school menus and the soggy, deep-fried nuggets frequently dished up in the lunchrooms.

This kid is going places.

Many of my middle school friends went to P.S. 130 as kids, and I went to school a ten minute walk from there! I don’t know how I survived on school lunch all those years, K-12…hurts me to think about it.

I have all of these language materials that I got from a closing language store in Chicago, including Spanish audio CDs, books, and flashcards. New goal, especially since now I teach hispanic students- read at least fifteen minutes of flashcards daily. I’ve got a handy metal ring for the cards, too, so I can bring a section of the flashcards to work with me every day!
