Travel Destination: England

<

As teachers and students returned from spring break, it was wonderful to hear about the sights and sounds they experienced. One of our students really liked “the big clock” they got to see. After asking a few questions, we realized she had been to England! We really like “the big clock” (Big Ben) as well J and the many other sights, sounds and tastes of not just London but all of England.

London is another of our favorite cities to visit. Travelers who are looking for shopping, museums, art galleries, musicals, theatre, food and drink, people watching etc. will have plenty to do. Mastering the subway system is pretty easy too as long as you “Mind the Gap”!

The English countryside is another part of England that should be experienced. Staying at one of the quaint bed and breakfasts, driving on the “wrong” side of the road, and visiting some of the many castles (maybe even seeing the Queen of England!) are a definite must.

A big advantage to traveling to England is that they speak English. Tallyho!

Who is the Military Child?

 
Who Is the Military Child?
 
The military child moves a lot. The military child has to learn to make new friends for each move. The military child has to learn the rules and nuances for each new school. The military child has to learn to adapt to new environments.

The military child usually has a parent that deploys for a long period of time.

The military child has to celebrate holidays and birthdays without one of his/her parents. The military child has to learn to adjust to family life without the deployed parent and then when the parent returns.


Who is the military child? The military child is someone who learns at a very young age to adapt to the changes in life. Who is the military child? The military child is someone who should be recognized for the disadvantages and advantages he or she experiences.

April is the Month of the Military Child. Honor the military child/children in your school!
