Twas The Night Before Christmas By:Chief Jessica

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the Ridge
Not a creature was stirring not even a kid.
The GMS was hung high on level 3.
The night-watch patrolled while the group was asleep.
Staff was all nestled all snug in their beds
while visions of huddles danced in their heads.

Chief Amber in room 7
Chief Tricia in room 4
They had turned out the lights
and locked all the doors.

When in front of the cottage arose such a clatter
Supervisors called down to see what the matter.
The staff and kids were peeking outside
to see Santa going on a 4-wheeler ride.

The reindeer and elves had walkies and keys
and Santa strangely resembled Chief Jeremy
With the 4-wheeler driver driving insane
I knew in a moment it was Chief Jeff Caine

The staff were all huddling around the sleigh,
as Santa began to call them by name.

Now Chief Crystal, Now Chief Tiffany, Chief Joal , and Chief Jay
On Chief Tammi, on Chief Ira, Chief Jessica, and Chief Ray
To the top of the cottage then on to 3 and 4
then down the hill where Diagnostics snore.

They made their rounds up on the hill
passing out gifts with finesse and skill
past the triangle they went and down to Comanche
handing out toys and games and stockings with candy.

And then, when they finished, to the circle they went
exhausted from the effort and time they had spent
gathering around the flag pole now
they ran an eval for a staff powwow

Comments and compliments were given about
Chief Cody stood up for speaking out.
Last but not Least Chief Tim Bauman started his speech
handing out compliments and shirts to each.

His eyes how they twinkled when telling an old story
the staff all laughed while he basked in the glory
His positive words were said in the parking lot light
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night"


"Merry Christmas "

Power Point :)

Today I worked on my Sexually transmitted disease powerpoint. In some of the pictures I looked at they were pretty gruesome and nasty so my advice to the world is wear Condoms.

BE SAFE. NO GLOVE ---> NO LOVE

Games :)

Our class assignment today was to find genres that our topics and our CSO's fit under. SO I have come to the conclusion that the best genres that my topics would fall under would be GENRE 2 role playing game, and GENRE 6 Educational games. My topics are STD's and Disasters so I feel that it would really open people's eyes by showing them the effect of these situations on people and their surroundings.

CSO's

The following is the CSO that I need to incorporate into my topic on STD's:

SS.O.11.5.15
compare and evaluate the impact of stereotyping, conformity, acts of altruism and other behaviors on individuals and groups.


The following is the CSO that I need to incorporate into my topic on Disasters:

SS.O.7.3.8
assess the impact of natural and human events on industry worldwide (e.g., strikes, environmental disasters, war, terrorism).

Diseases

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, what do you think about that? That's the problem not a lot of people do. That's awful. Everyday someone new is getting diagnosed with some sort of STD because they can't stop to take the time to put on a condom. Really? Would you rather stop for maybe 30 seconds to put on a condom and avoid STDs or keep going and end up with something as severe as AIDS, or even something like HPV or syphilis? Then you can give it to other people. A lot of the times people may not even have symptoms.
SAVE A LIFE... WEAR A CONDOM :)

I got Soul but I'm not a soldier....

Have you ever heard of the song I got soul but I'm not a soldier? It talks about how hard it is on kids in some many different places having to fight for there freedom everyday. Today In Mr. Garvin's class we watched a video about our troops. Our President Barack Obama wants to keep our troops for up to nine more years and send 30,000 more overseas. What is this world coming to? Everyday we have more and more of our loved ones leaving us to fight for our freedom. I am very grateful that they are fighting to give us protection, and I want to join the National Guard in the next couple of years but this has to stop somewhere. Our troops are getting killed. Some women with their husbands overseas, are scared to answer their own phones. Scared to death that they will get that one dreadful phone call. When is this madness going to end?

I SUPPORT THE TROOPS :)

Playing to Learn

I haven't been able to play to learn just because I had to fix my blog. I was having some issues to where I couldn't get any comments but Thanks to a kid in Cottage four whom I'm not sure exactly who he is. We read his blog in Mr. Garvin's class and he knew exactly what to do. So Thank You whoever you are! In Mr. Garvin's class we were to pick two topics that we wanted to research and my two topics were AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and My other topic is Disasters for example Hurricane Katrina. Well I've got some research to do so I'll have to write more later :)
