Ah, Christmas break, the time where snow is supposed to come, No school, and the new year is right around the corner. Winter break is always almost something almost everyone looks forward to sleeping in and being with their family around the fire, don't get me wrong, I certainly do too, but, sometimes your idea of Winter break doesn't always go as planned. The start of break seemed like it would be a normal old break until I want some good old cake pops. Cake pops are delicious don’t get me wrong, but, somehow drama at my house can come from the least things. I called my Mother (which was at Kroger) To buy me some Extra Moist Vanilla Cake batter, Vanilla Frosting, milk chocolate, and Cake pop Sticks. My Mother agreed to buy me the things I
Winter Dreams There are many ways in which “Winter Dreams” is like and unlike a fairytale. “Winter Dreams” had the potential to have a fairy tale ending. Beginning the story, F. Scott Fitzgerald made the story seem predictable. The reader would have predicted a happy ending, like a fairytale. An ending where the ambitious young man gets the beautiful girl of his dreams.
In the summer of 2013 I experienced nine days of the pure Alaskan terrain alongside one-hundred or so fellow cadets, learning about teamwork and leadership that would aid me in my future endeavors; or so said the forms my parents all-too-willingly signed, and I reluctantly and with careful uncertainty did so as well. I was an excellent cadet—involved in all community service opportunities as possible, participating in all color guard presentations possible, and dedicating two extra hours in my mornings to drilling my feet sore for the sake of maintaining the Eagle River High School’s reputable drill team status. But my one deficiency that grayed my instructor’s heads and made me appear less accomplished with my missing ribbons that were on my peers’ uniforms was my avoidance of any and all wilderness activities. “Winter Survival Where You Get To Freeze All Night And Have To Walk A Mile To The Bathroom And Make Sure You Bring A Buddy And A Flashlight?” I think not. “Summer Leadership School With No Showers And Porta-Potties And Wild Bears Ransacking Your Personal Belongings?” I’ll enjoy the comforts of my home, thank you very much.
Skipping Christmas starts out at the gate in an airport. Luther and Nora Krank are there with their daughter Blair, waiting for a flight to Miami that will eventually bring her to eastern Peru, where she is going with the Peace Corps. They all say their goodbyes and the parents leave. Nora is very upset, while Luther isn’t so much. On the way home they stop at a store for white chocolate and pistachios. Luther unwillingly goes in to get it and finds every little thing a hindrance. He is easily annoyed, and doesn’t get the white chocolate. Nora then has to go in the store to get it, and she does so with much annoyance. While Nora is in the store, Luther daydreams about not having to do the Christmas season.
For the next couple of weeks before winter break, Christopher was made fun of and picked on by his classmates and the other kids at school, who’d heard about Christopher’s wish of becoming a snowman.
“Christmas Break” showing a subtle bias to students that celebrate the Christmas holiday. This is where it is imperative that a teacher knows her students and their background. By using the phrase “winter break” we are including everyone in the classroom.
After a long summer, the time has finally come for Sam and his classmates to return to school. Sam dreads going back to school, because he knows that the first weeks of school mean long, boring reviews. Despite the fact that Sam and his friends do not like to study topics they have already learned, they need to review because most students forget what they learned over the three-month break period. Many students can relate to Sam, wasting two weeks or more at the beginning of the school year. Parents, teachers, and students across the United States believe a better option exists that will waste less time. Many suggest the idea of a year-round school schedule. Almost all schools should adopt a year-round schedule because of the many advantages including higher academic
How time does a teacher need to get ready for a new school term? One day? No one would suggest that one day is enough time to close out one term and prepare for the next, but that is exactly what happens in some school districts that have year-round schedules. For years different districts have been experimenting with these schedules, and now even more are considering converting to year round schedule. For many reasons, schools should stay with the traditional schedule.
My mom dashed into the kitchen and wore her oven mitt to remove the cookies from the oven because she didn't trust me to do that safely myself.
If you’re anything like me or any other high school student you know that stress season is coming. It’s a joyous time where students unite to form study groups and enjoy the last two weeks of the semester before they go off into the boring period of “winter break.” Of course, no winter break is complete without the wonderful problem filled stapled stacks of papers handed to you as you walk out the door the last day. When you get handed that packet you know that those long winter break days that seem to last forever be no more thanks to all your teachers. May the rest of your day be filled with bliss and delight. Now this stress season isn’t simply the last day of school it’s so much more than that. It all started on November 9th oh yes the marvelous first day of the last grading
School districts have switched from the traditional 8-10 week summer vacation to a modified year-round calander to retain the information over the WHOLE year. This way kids will have several shorter vacations. This can cause a positive spike in low-performing schools. The change to school year-round has increased a signifigant amount in the past 10 years.

And it was my birthday so I went eat out with a branch one people my cake was good to.
I remember it like it was yesterday. The first bite tasted like sugar heaven. The cake was hot, moist, and practically melted in your mouth. My little brother Jeremy and I would fill our glasses full of milk and darn near make ourselves sick by eating so much of it. It was her special treat to us boys. Early on she would surprise us with a fresh coca cola cake. That was until we started noticing an extra 3 liter in the kitchen. It was funny because we got ourselves in trouble a few times for opening that surprise 3 liter. Guess what she used to make the cake mix come together? Her mixing bowl would be the answer. That bowl was involved in most of our meals. I can truly say that her mixing bowl was magic. Not in the sense that it contained an untapped energy source that could make chicken salad out of chicken droppings, but that Moms’ magic mixing bowl brought joy, love, faith, and family to us every
It was my mother’s birthday, I forgot which birthday it was. Two weeks before that day, I was thinking about what should I do for her birthday. I thought about getting her a present and a card, but it seemed to me too dull. I wonder what can I do to let her remember that birthday for the rest of her life, although I cannot remember which birthday it was. I thought of one thing that I always wanted to change about birthday — the cake. I was young and I believed that the cake was really important for birthdays. Previously, the cakes were standard, they taste and look average, they were either chocolate or vanilla flavored with standard bakery decorations on the them, on top, they were always slapped on a white chocolate “Happy Birthday” sign. There I go, I can bake a cake for her from scratch, a unique one which she will never forget about.
She takes out the Pillsbury pop biscuit cans from the refrigerator and hands them over. We don 't waste any time. Peeling away some of the label, I push my thumb against the cardboard until it gives way and makes a loud “pop.” I split it open to reveal the pre-cut biscuits, laying them on a greased up aluminum foil-covered pizza pan and threw them into the oven. My mom plucked tomatoes off their vine, chopped them up, and placed them in a bowl with some cilantro as a topping to compliment the small breakfast sandwiches we’ve been having every Sunday for
