Twenty years ago my husband immigrated to the Unit Twenty years ago my husband immigrated to the United States with limited English and unlimited hope. He took a job at McDonald’s despite having a degree in engineering and, as he worked the grill, the string of sounds began to separate into recognizable words. Continuing his language studies, he eventually found fulltime employment while working evenings on his own start-up business. During this time he defended his Green Card and later became an American citizen.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My husband’s perspective as someone raised in a socialist country has taught me a lot about my own. He doesn’t believe the US is free from sin but has embraced the nation, warts and all. He takes his civic responsibility as seriously as he takes the fundamental rights of our Constitution. Indeed, he expects our country to live up to them. And every July 4th, he celebrates the land that he loves with eyes wide open. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @rbaburina
In the quest to learn more outdoor skills and give In the quest to learn more outdoor skills and give my children confidence in nature, I decided to take a survival class with a professional. We met up out in the woods and had our friends join us for a day in the bush. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We immediately got started by identifying plants the minute we got on the trail. We learned about snake root and its ability to calm nerves in case of a snake bite, and how kinnikinic has medicinal properties. We also learned how aspen bark powder can help a minor scrape stop bleeding. We all enjoyed eating the spruce tips and sorrel as we headed down the mountain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We learned to look at the topography of the land to be able to find water. We quickly found marshy ground and followed it to the source. We learned that we could dig a hole with a stick down to rocks, and if there is an underground spring the water will rise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The kids now have a plan of action if they ever get lost on a hike: 1. Stay where you are. 2. Call for help. 3. Build a shelter. 4. Start a fire. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know these valuable skills will stick with my children for their entire life, and I can rest easier knowing that they will be prepared in case of an emergency. Do you have a plan of action for hiking emergencies? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @aolander
X. The unknown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For ma X. The unknown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For many people, it is the symbol of algebra. An unknown, unreachable, inaccessible domain. A region of math that is “for some people,” but not “for me.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Charlotte Mason identified the reason why this door has been closed for so many people: “Mathematics depend upon the teacher rather than upon the text-book and few subjects are worse taught; chiefly because teachers have seldom time to give the inspiring ideas, what Coleridge calls, the ‘Captain’ ideas, which should quicken imagination.” (VI:233) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If algebra is a cryptic language of increasingly arbitrary and confusing rules, then who would feel at home there? Coleridge wrote that if discoveries “do not excite some master idea,” they remain “insecure and unproductive.” But what if master ideas could be presented that would cause insights to “suddenly unfold”? What if it all made sense? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In @rbaburina’s recent interview on @modernmissmason, she explains the three steps of a math lesson that apply all the way from arithmetic to precalculus: “new, review, mental math too.” I hope you will listen to the podcast and then approach algebra with new eyes of faith. Believe with me that anyone can learn upper level math. It just requires a teaching process that focuses on ideas, understanding, and mastery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are captain ideas in algebra. They do not have to remain unknown. In fact, the first captain idea is just that: to find the unknown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @artmiddlekauff
“[I]t is good, doubtless, to be cosmopolitan in “[I]t is good, doubtless, to be cosmopolitan in our tastes, liberal and unprejudiced in our judgments; but he who would love all the world must begin with the brother whom he has seen, and enlightened sympathy with other nations can coexist only with profound and instructed patriotism. In the noble character, patriotism is the warp with which every fine and delicate attribute is interwoven. The child who is not trained in patriotic feeling will not, as a man, live at the highest level possible to him; and this noblest virtue is best instilled, not by vulgar vaunting of ourselves, but by the gradual introduction of the child to the lovely lives that have been lived, the great work that has been done, … through … our history.” (Vol V, p 135) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @antonella.f.greco
