Hunger Hits Home on April 14th Food Network TV

By Almab7789@gmail.com


What if your neighbor was hungry and suffering in silence? What if he was only 10 years old. Hunger Hits Home is a documentary about our country and the kids who go hungry every day and every night. There is an estimated 1 in 5 kids who goes hungry everyday.  Food Network and Share Out Strength's No Kid Hungry have partnered to end childhood hunger by 2015.
                   
This April 14th on the Food Network Channel a very important documentary will air "Hunger Hits Home".  Narrated by actor Jeff Bridges, who is the national spokesman for Share Our Strength 's No Kid Hungry Campaign. The documentary will show you who is going hungry and how they got there. The families in the documentary are not people holding signs on the sidewalk or living in a homeless shelter. They are families like yours and mine. They have a place to live and transportation. They have jobs and live in major cities. They are loving parents with the best intentions for their kids. But making hard decisions like buying fresh groceries is part of daily life, because of the current US economy. There are solutions to this horrible problem. Watch the documentary on April 14th on the Food Network Channel. Check your local listings to find the times. Watch and learn how you can make a difference!


Our Children. Our Problem. Our Solution.

Repost from Food Network Blog "Hunger Hits Home".

Here are four ways to take action against childhood hunger today:
1. Donate to local food pantries
2. Support your school meal programs
3. Call your local member of Congress and make it clear to them how important it is that they support programs to end hunger
4. Be a Part of Share Our Strength’s Food Blogger Bake Sale on April 28
Our friends are talking about hunger today, too. See what they have to say and tell us what you’re doing in the fight against hunger on Twitter by using the hashtag #pullupachair.

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

By Almab7789@gmail.com
State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area.  This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement.  She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me.  Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test."  Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this:  Dea

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday.  I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer.  The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard.  I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".
