Names for a calendar project?

Day Dreame

well i am making an art calendar for school, for each month i will be drawing a girl that has 2 look like the month if that makes any sense. for example for summer i will be drawing a blonde girl with blue eyes, wearing really bright colors. I know this isnt exactly baby names but i thought maybe u could say what kind of girl you picture for each month? even if u could post photos of girls u picture that would be so great. to make this more of a baby name question, pretend you have 5 kids all named after months, genders are ur choice, what are they named? all help is appreciated!

Answer
I tried to give some details and use names that have meaning to the month. Hope this is helpful.

January- Girl with snowflakes on her eyelashes, wearing a white winter dress. Name could be Eira, which is Welsh for snow. Or you could call her Snow.

February- For Valentines, a girl in a red coat with a heart shaped box or something. Name could be Anna or Anne, or even Anabelle, which means lovable.

March- Spring starts this month, and things start to thaw. A girl with a small spring flower or a melting snowman and pretty red hair. You could call her Ginger, which means springlike or flourishing.

April- Rain, and a girl with an adorable umbrella and rain boots. You could call her April, but people would see that coming. The name Avril is French for April.

May- I think flowers are perfect for May. April showers bring may flowers. And for the name, how about something that means beautiful? Examples: Callie, Fiona, Belle, Naomi, Shana

June- a girl with a popsicle? Or... by the pool? I like the name Poppy, just because that's bright and sunny like summer. I know that's a little weird. But I'd avoid the classics like "Summer". Claire, Ella, Elaina, and Kelly mean bright, for more traditional names.

July- more summery stuff. Maybe something fourth of july-ish. Use aforementioned names.

August- same. I like the name Lena, which means "the bright one"

September- a girl with a backpack would be cute. Or an apple. Avalon is Welsh for apple tree.

October- a girl with a black cat and/or a pumpkin. Maybe wearing a witch hat. The name Samantha/ Sam would work, alluding to the show Bewitched where the main character is named Samantha and is a witch.

November- girl under a fall inspired tree, wearing a cute scarf. Shakira means thankful, which works with thanksgiving; if that's too exotic you could shorten it to Kira

December- I picture a girl in a really cute red winter jacket, maybe looking up at a pine tree, but if you don't want the Christmas reference, that's not necessary. She could be sledding. Her name could be Holly, for the plant, or Carol, for Christmas carol.

Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

My 12 year old daughter is doing a project on a book about bravery. Its due November 30 and shes a slow reader so it needs to be something she can read quickly. she is a tomboy so if that helps:)

Answer
Sorry in advance for the extra long answer

Hurt Go Happy :Thirteen-year-old Joey Willis is used to being left out of conversations. Though she's been deaf since the age of six, Joey's mother has never allowed her to learn sign language. She strains to read the lips of those around her, but often fails.Everything changes when Joey meets Dr. Charles Mansell and his baby chimpanzee, Sukari. Her new friends use sign language to communicate, and Joey secretly begins to learn to sign. Spending time with Charlie and Sukari, Joey has never been happier. She even starts making friends at school for the first time. But as Joey's world blooms with possibilities, Charlie's and Sukari's choices begin to narrow--until Sukari's very survival is in doubt. Its 227 pages I loved it read it when i was 12
by Ginny Rorby

The Shadow thieves by Anne Ursu: Its kinda long 424 pages but good :See that girl, the one with the bright red hair, overstuffed backpack, and aura of grumpiness? That's Charlotte Mielswetzski. And something extra-ordinary is about to happen to her.

Oh, it's not the very cute kitten that appears out of nowhere and demands to go home with her. It's not the sudden arrival of her cousin Zee, who believes he's the cause of a mysterious sickness that has struck his friends back in England. It's not her creepy English teacher Mr. Metos, who takes his mythology lessons just a little too seriously. And it's not the white-faced, yellow-eyed men in tuxedoes, who follow Charlotte everywhere.

What's so extraordinary is not any one of these things....It's all of them. And when Charlotte's friends start to get sick one by one, Charlotte and Zee set out to find a cure. Their quest leads them to a not-so-mythical Underworld, where they face rhyme-loving Harpies, gods with personnel problems, and ghosts with a thirst for blood.

Charlotte and Zee learn that in a world overrun by Nightmares, Pain, and Death, the really dangerous character is a guy named Phil. And then they discover that the fate of every person -- living and dead -- is in their young hands.

A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass :Mia Winchell seems to be a typical teenager, but shes keeping a huge secret from everyone who knows her: sounds, numbers, and words appear in color for her. Mia has synesthesia, the mingling of perceptions whereby a person can see sounds, smell colors, or taste shapes. When trouble in school forces Mia to reveal her condition, her friends and family can't relate to her, and she must look to herself to develop an understanding and appreciation for her gift. Spiced with wit and humor, A Mango-Shaped Space is a poignant coming-of-age novel that will intrigue readers long after theyve turned the last page. Praised by reviewers and award-winning authors alike, A Mango-Shaped Space has brought renewed attention to the fascinating world of synesthesia, which includes famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Serge Rachmaninoff 218 pages

Harry Potter is good not too long

When Estrella discovers her family's true identityâand her family's secrets are made publicâshe confronts a world she's never imagined, where new love burns and where friendship ends in flame and ash, where trust is all but vanquished and betrayal has tragic and bitter consequences. This is only 176 pages and is very good and has a lot about bravery

are pet monkeys allowed in mexico, all of central america and south america?

mike

Im hitch hiking and backpacking through Mexico and central and south america (Ive done this before). im in mexico now and im with a family who has 2 adult capinchu monkeys and a new born monkey, |I was wondering if its legal to take the new born with me on my jouney.

Answer
No - absolutely not. It's illegal to keep monkeys as pets in many South American countries, including Chile, Bolivia and Peru. This does not mean you won't see families doing it, but you as a tourist will definitely get into trouble. You would not be allowed to take them over international borders - all monkeys are protected by CITES as all are threatened in the wild.

Also - even if you could take the monkey around with you, you'd be doing immeasurable harm to the monkey itself and to the survival of monkeys in the wild. When people see that tourists like baby monkeys, it will encourage them to capture more of them from the wild (this usually involves killing the mothers and any other group members that are trying to protect their kin). So many primate populations are struggling to survive and this is one of the reasons! Please be responsible and don't encourage this!

Bringing the monkey travelling with you would be total torture for the monkey and ultimately, if the monkey survived for a few years, dangerous for you. Capuchins need to stay with their mothers for a long time - several years in fact - and when they are not allowed to do this it can have really damaging effects - it can even hinder proper brain development. Mother-deprived hand-reared monkeys are pretty much guaranteed to develop psychological abnormalities that can range from heightened aggression or submission to over grooming, self-mutilation, pacing, repetitive head twisting or any other indicator of poor welfare. And, monkeys, including capuchins, are dangerous and they can and will attack! If it has not happened yet to the family that you are staying with, it certainly will before too long.

On your travels, why don't you visit one of the primate rescue centers or conservation projects that are all over South and Central America and learn more about this? Then you can spend time with monkeys while helping to make a positive difference rather than perpetuating the pain and suffering of the primate pet trade?

What should I get for 7th grade?

Ok I know this is a very stupid question but what do you recommend for 7th grade? Asking this becuase I was really unprepared for 6th grade and did not do very well. I also know that middle school is much harder then elementary school. I also won't be "babied" by my parents so I need to be more responsible. And any good tips on how to survive this year let me know!

Answer
The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask.
As in school supplies?

Backpack- Get one with at least 4 compartments.
Lunch Box- I hate school lunch.
Folders- They keep your papers organized. Get one for every class (except gym and elective) and one for your locker, so papers don't pile up.
Pencils- 24, just to make sure you have enough. But don't take them all to school you will lose them.
Pens- Black, blue, and red.
Pencil Pouch- They keep your writing things in one place. 2 Compartments, one for pencils, one for erasers, so your lead doesn't get all over your erasers.
Pencil Sharpener- Good to have.
High Lighters- Helps organize your notes(key points highlighted) and agenda (assignments highlighted)
Erasers- The white ones work best.
Glue- Elmer's
Glue Sticks- Elmer's
White Out- The tape works better, you don't have to wait for it to dry if you are writing notes quickly.
Ruler- Get the bendy one, the regular plastic ones will shatter in your backpack.
Color Pencils- For projects, fun in class assignments.
Markers- For projects, fun in class assignments.
Scissors- Good to have.
College Ruled Paper- Most teachers like this type.
Tape- Good to have.
Stapler- Good to have.
Locker Shelf- Helps organize books and notebooks.
Pencil Holder- To put a few extra pencils in.
Magnets- To hang up important papers, or pictures.
White Board- To jot down things you need to remember.
Notebooks- To take notes!
Sharpies- Don't need them, but I like them.
Book Covers- To protect your books from damage.
Alarm Clock- So you don't have to rely on mom!


This is my school supply list, but your teachers may want you to get other supplies. So get the basics from this list, and wait to buy the rest.

Tips:
Stay on top of your assignments.

Do your homework now, not in five minutes, not tomorrow.

Study for tests.

Study with a friend or parent. Better than studying alone.

Don't get into trouble. Being in the office all the time will affect your grades.

You'll survive this year, don't sweat it. But there will be more drama because every ones hormones are going crazy.

Use common sense!


Good Luck

Why do people home school there children?

baby backpack project image

Mass Appea

Ive never been home schooled and neither will my sons, but I just wanted to know what is the big deal for a child to go to public/private school?

I've noticed that numerous people on this forum have stated children who are homeschooled have a social disadvantage. Then SOME parents were on the defensive by saying "There child has friends that they interact with on a daily basis." What?? 5-10 children from the neighborhood? Please. Whats wrong with having different friends from different neighborhoods?

As a child, there is NO experience like a walk/bus to school with your friends, LEARNING IN A CLASSROOM SETTING(even if it includes a little classroom banter, thats what kids do), playing @ recess with your friends, walking home from school, doing homework/class projects with your parents. For those who had a traditional public/private school education who have decided to NOT allow your child to have the joyous experiences you had as a child, WHY? Did you NOT enjoy "being a kid
Yes, I understand there CAN BE distractions in the classroom(other kids, fire drills), but whats wrong with a traditional school setting? Do you want your children to be up under you all the time without having experience to respect authority other than you and OTHER adult family members? Believe it or not, there is a discipline factor in a traditional classroom. I think teachers HAVE THE HARDEST JOB IN THE WORLD(and are VERY underpaid) because they have to deal with 20-30 different personalities on a daily basis. With the country being MORE diverse than ever, school is the foundation in learning other cultures and traditions. It is a start so when you are older and you come into contact with different ethnicities, you know not to believe the different stereotypes society has placed on different nationalities.

As a child in grammar/middle/1st 2 yrs of HS , 95% of my friends/classmates(we were ALL friends) were afro american. I had NEVER seen a hispanic other than puerto rican.
As a child in grammar/middle/1st 2 yrs of HS , 98% of my friends/classmates were afro american/west indian(haitian, jamaican, guyanese, trini, etc). I had NEVER seen a hispanic other than puerto rican. When I transferred high schools my JR year, I had met dominican/brazilian/ecuadorian/
panamanian/peruvian/colombian people. Im glad i did go to public school because I WOULD HAVE NEVER met any other people than afro-american.
Its funny NO one said that public school would be good for learning different ethnicities/cultures. Maybe because here in NJ the culture is VERY diverse, I appreciate it a little more.

Yes, I did spell their wrong, but when you use "homeschool" in the form that you used it in, it is written "home school", not "homeschool"
I understand that SOME of the U.S. education isnt up to par and kids can get bored when they learn @ a faster pace than the rest of the class(I was one of those children)

I enjoyed going to school. Yeah there were bullys and troublemakers, but hey, it happens. I fel sorry for the children who have to sit for an hr or 2 o the school bus. I didnt have to experience that because here in NJ because MOST of the urban area schools are in the same neighborhood as our homes, unlike in rural areas.
I say teachers are underpaid because youve got people who all they do is play sports and they are getting paid millions of dollars, while the people who count in the "real world" like teachers, social workers, police & firemen(who risk there lives daily), make good money, but not as much as these glorified athletes. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE sports, but i live in the real world.

I do realize teachers make good money in NJ, but compared to all of the worthless occupations who pay more, they are underpaid.

Answer
There are many reasons for homeschooling (some outrageous, most not), but here is my reason.

My 9yr old daughter has a variety of medical 'issues'...for every 2 days she was in the classroom, she was home sick in bed for 3 (after awhile all those absences add up). Two of her 'conditions' require that she carry an Inhaler (asthma) and an Epipen Jr. (Anaphalxia). When I informed the school that she needed to have these items on her at all times in event of an attack, I was informed that the medicine would have to stay either in the Infirmary or in the Front Office and she would have to be brought there in order to recieve treatment. Now please keep in mind that we had a notice from her Pediatrican that these items MUST stay WITH HER.
Not wanting to make waves, I smiled, nodded my head and gave the school a set and then slipped a set in my daughter's backpack (she had it if she needed it), I was also 'informed' that while her need of an Epipen negated her being able to play outside at recess she was 'required' to attend OUTSIDE Gym classes without her Epipen.
My daughter almost died during a OUTSIDE Gym class when she was stung by a Wasp and then told to 'Shut Up and Deal' when it happened-----in less then 2 minutes after being stung my daughter went into CARDIAC ARREST. I was not informed of the incident until 1 hour later when she was in ICU and minimally stabilized----her grade level at school was 1st Grade. The Gym Teacher had the balls to tell me that she did not know of my daughter's health condition nor was she informed of the need for an Epipen or Inhaler, nor was she ever instructed in the use of such 'Medical paraphanalia'. She also stated to me that she was teaching the class alone and had no time to 'deal' with a 'WHINEY BABY', nor any way of reaching the Office Staff other then to send a child to inform them that there had been an 'incident'.

I will NEVER again entrust my child to the care of the Public School System. These so called 'Professional' Educators are poorly trained, in some cases woefully underpaid, are thrown into classrooms that hold 30 children and expected to 'teach' pupils but can no longer discipline ( if you do something wrong in class you get it from the Teacher then get sent to the Office and get it there and then go home and get it again). Gone are the days of the Teacher being held responsible for her students and classroom (nowadays we have Teacher's showing BrokeBack Mountain in class instead of actually TEACHING). Gone are the days when kids went to school properly attired and said Yes Ma'm, No Ma'm, May I, Please and Thank you. Now the kids get a half day in the middle of the week, Teacher isn't expected to utilize his/her time for Lesson planning the way they should and we allow the FCAT which has no real signifigance other then to see if the Teacher is even teaching the material (they spend 3 months learning that junk instead of learning to read, write and figure.) Still half our kids can't do any of it and the Teacher's complain they don't have enough time to teach or plan but yet want off more days. Our response you ask!?! Lengthen the school day, cut down summer vacation and add more Teacher Planning days. What's wrong with that picture???? OH and while your at it, let's dumb down the academics, yet require 4th graders to start Algebra and require High Schoolers to have volunteers hours in order to graduate (little hard to volunteer if Jr. and Sally are spending 90% of their time at home catching up on school work that they couldn't finish in class) and flunking them if they don't have all the 'Required time' but pass Paul and MaryJo because they are on the Football and Cheer Squad (don't worry they don't need to read for those jobs....just play well and look sexy).
Just so that the record is set straight... I am a product of the late 60's, attended both Pulic/Private school in the 70's & 80's, recall 'Corporal Punishment' and it's ripple effect and went on to become a Preschool Teacher---I have since that time witnessed the decline of our youth, the total lack of discipline,respect for self and others and the lack thereof morals and standards. My children ( I have two) understand that I make the rules not them, I am the final authority in all things (unless you are dealing with Religion then I pass the buck to God), I brought them into this world and I can take them out. Don't like the fact that I spank---here's the phone, while you are calling Children's Services I'll pack your bags and you can wait outside for them and don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.

To sum it all up ---yeah I loved being a kid and yeah I think I'll let her have a joyous occasion .....by learning in an environment that treats her for the individual she is, not some seat assignment or dollar sign (for every child the school has they get yeah so much money and are not above fudging their records). The old days are gone and school is not the same as you and I once knew it--if it was then the old rules would still apply, kids would have far more respect and life would be easier.
My kids get their 'Social' from Girl/Boy Scouts, neighborhood children, Church, Volunteer Work, and Living History and extra curricular activities.

What should I get for 7th grade?

Ok I know this is a very stupid question but what do you recommend for 7th grade? Asking this becuase I was really unprepared for 6th grade and did not do very well. I also know that middle school is much harder then elementary school. I also won't be "babied" by my parents so I need to be more responsible. And any good tips on how to survive this year let me know!

Answer
The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask.
As in school supplies?

Backpack- Get one with at least 4 compartments.
Lunch Box- I hate school lunch.
Folders- They keep your papers organized. Get one for every class (except gym and elective) and one for your locker, so papers don't pile up.
Pencils- 24, just to make sure you have enough. But don't take them all to school you will lose them.
Pens- Black, blue, and red.
Pencil Pouch- They keep your writing things in one place. 2 Compartments, one for pencils, one for erasers, so your lead doesn't get all over your erasers.
Pencil Sharpener- Good to have.
High Lighters- Helps organize your notes(key points highlighted) and agenda (assignments highlighted)
Erasers- The white ones work best.
Glue- Elmer's
Glue Sticks- Elmer's
White Out- The tape works better, you don't have to wait for it to dry if you are writing notes quickly.
Ruler- Get the bendy one, the regular plastic ones will shatter in your backpack.
Color Pencils- For projects, fun in class assignments.
Markers- For projects, fun in class assignments.
Scissors- Good to have.
College Ruled Paper- Most teachers like this type.
Tape- Good to have.
Stapler- Good to have.
Locker Shelf- Helps organize books and notebooks.
Pencil Holder- To put a few extra pencils in.
Magnets- To hang up important papers, or pictures.
White Board- To jot down things you need to remember.
Notebooks- To take notes!
Sharpies- Don't need them, but I like them.
Book Covers- To protect your books from damage.
Alarm Clock- So you don't have to rely on mom!


This is my school supply list, but your teachers may want you to get other supplies. So get the basics from this list, and wait to buy the rest.

Tips:
Stay on top of your assignments.

Do your homework now, not in five minutes, not tomorrow.

Study for tests.

Study with a friend or parent. Better than studying alone.

Don't get into trouble. Being in the office all the time will affect your grades.

You'll survive this year, don't sweat it. But there will be more drama because every ones hormones are going crazy.

Use common sense!


Good Luck
