Every classroom has its own unique community; my role as the teacher will be to assist each child in developing their own potential and learning styles. I will present a curriculum that will incorporate each different learning style, as well as make the content relevant to the students' lives. I will incorporate hands-on learning, cooperative learning, projects, themes, and individual work that engage and activate students learning."

Hi Buddies! I am taking a bold step and am singing a song in Spanish. I have been practicing my Spanish listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills this summer using Duolingo and Rosetta Stone. I hope you like the song. It's from Free Worship out of Chicago. It's a worship song. Please subscribe if you haven't. Thanks if you have!
I use 3 tips to help me lose over 40 pounds:
1. Have the right mindset. Ask lots of questions to get them off your mind and then decide to achieve your goals.
2. Perfection is not 100% every day. Some days you will stick 100% to the plan. But what happens on days when you have a slip? Choose wisely. Choose a slip that is close within the range of your nutritional plan so you are able to recover and keep making progress.
3. Accept the support that is provided. Listen to what the doctor and staff are saying to you. Follow instructions. Do what they say. Use the strategies to make better choices each day. Trust the process.

There seems to be a lot of discussion going on in the mental health space about clutter and mental health. I think this is worth discussing.
In today's video, I share how I am turning my bedroom and closet into a respite, a sanctuary, a resort-quality living space by decluttering, organizing, and adding pleasant touches to the spaces.
My name is Lynn Daniel. I am a certified language literacy educator who enjoys connecting with you on social media where I share tips on life-style, instruction and learning, budgeting, and thrifting.
Let me know if you would like me to develop a class on making your home a resort (decluttering tips - NOT the Kondo Method - and decorating).

A part of teacher self-care includes grooming and appearance. I did my back to school shopping online at Wish.com, Aliexpress.com, TBdress.com, and Amazon.com because I was able to purchase beautiful dresses for a bargain. I read the details and reviews, converted measurements from cm to inches, noted the fabric, and looked closely at the pictures before making my purchases. I will show you everything when they arrive.

In this video, I discuss my frustrations with trying to get my wifi speed increased and interactions with a financial institution. Are Black Americans still considered 2nd-class citizens? NO! July 2, 1964, was the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which grants us all the rights of American citizens. I talk about how social programming has influenced some to disregard and disrespect the lives of black people even in 2019 as demonstrated by actions in the news - store owners fighting black female customers, customers yelling at and hitting black employees at fast food restaurants, police brutality against black men, women, and children, and legislators and public figures still using the black on black crime as a reason against legislating equitably.

Hi, Buddies! A few months ago, I found this wonderful floor steamer, the Bissell Symphony Pet Steamer Vacuum, at Home Goods for under $100. After using it for several months, I decided it was worth sharing with you. I am reviewing my Bissell Symphony Pet Steamer Vacuum particularly because it provides a quick and easy clean-up on various hard floor surfaces. I think this is an older version which attributed to the deep discounted price.
