I walked into the room angry because six of the boys did not come back to work after cashing their checks the other day. Now they were back.
I sat in a chair outside their semi-circle. A few of the boys tried to talk to me but I ignored them. "She’s mad," one of the boys said under his breath. I was glad they could see that I was upset.

The Internet for kids
The Internet for kids
"Sex," "porn" and "YouTube" are among the top ten terms searched by kids, according to a recent report by the computer security company. Kids are curious; we have to applaud them on their thirst for knowledge! But how 'bout we keep the sex-ed lectures in the classroom or from their parents, and not from some raunchy video.

Kids learn using all their senses, it's important to tap into that and let them explore and play with different textures. This simple game can be used in so many ways. You can chose just 2 opposing textures for younger children or as many as you can find for older ones. [more]
