HAVE YOU STOPPED BY MS. MARGE'S CLASSROOM ?

Click on the link below and see what's happening in the classroom:

http://www.ms-marge.com/

          There's a teacher (Ms. Marge) behind all these kindergarden students listening to a story. :) PreSchool Teachers, those precious little ones we call students gave me much enjoyment for over thirty years. Because of them I developed these fun poems, songs, book, activities. You can find activity pages on the upper left menu. I freely share them with you. In the TEACHERS page you will find ideas on how to run a happy classroom. I will add other pages as the year progresses. BEFORE you leave this site please open the guest check-in page and leave a note, or leave comment. And if you copy to use any of the activities all I ask is that you leave a comment on how you use them and did they work for you. Come back often .. I often add to each page, and make new pages. If you need a project for a specific theme, I may have it in my large file of activities. You can always reach me at my email address below: margaretarvanitis@gmail.com AND check out my FB writer's Page. http://www.facebook.com/M.C.Arvanitis Margaret Arvanitis

History Trivia - Martin Luther burns his copy of the papal bull Exsurge Domine

December 10

1520 Martin Luther burned his copy of the papal bull Exsurge Domine outside Wittenberg's Elster Gate. 

1541 Thomas Culpeper and Francis Dereham were executed for having affairs with Catherine Howard, Queen of England and fifth wife of Henry VIII. Culpeper was beheaded and Dereham was hanged, drawn, and quartered, and their heads were placed on top of London Bridge. Catherine remained imprisoned in Syon Abbey until Parliament passed a bill of attainder on 7 February 1542. The bill made it treason, and punishable by death, for a queen consort to fail to disclose her sexual history to the king within twenty days of their marriage, or to incite someone to commit adultery with her. This solved the matter of Catherine's supposed precontract and made her unequivocally guilty. She was subsequently taken to the Tower on 10 February and was executed on February 13th.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EL1YP6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_t5iPsb18VPRJY


In 2137, the universal One Child Law says Roxanne Grail must surrender her daughter Jessi for extermination or die with her. The Law picked the wrong girl.

In a world that is a distorted hybrid of rigid control and absolute lawlessness, Roxanne Grail broke The Law: she got pregnant for the second time, and the penalty is death. Now, she and her two girls need to make it across the Sahara to the frozen European north and freedom.

Follow Roxx and her two daughters, along with Roxx's partner, Trint, as they attempt to flee her youngest daughter's father, who just happens to lead one of the most powerful armies in the world. It is an exciting battle for survival, which features robot armies, a believable dystopian society, advanced technology, a rebel insurgency, as well as Roxx, who is determined to kill anyone who threatens her daughters.
