With all stories, there is a conflict. The main character goes through a challenge of some sort. Think about each novel and what conflict the main character is challenged with. If you were in one of the stories, which one would it be? What would be your role? Would you help solve the conflict or would you create more challenges?

Carrying cash is becoming less and less common, as you saw in the Financial Lit assignments this marking period. Do you carry cash? Do you know how to count it quickly?

Gather all the change you have in the house. Yes, ask your parents if you can check their dressers, cup holders in their cars, any of those places where loose change is tossed. Count it all up. Ask a family member to count it as well. Do you have the same total? We've had many students over the past several years who struggled tremendously with math concepts involving cash. Even the idea that cash means bills and coins confuses some young people, or the idea that 'change' is what you get after you pay for something with cash and 'change' also means coins.

I have a husband and two sons. Mr. Stage works for a multi-national company. He watches football. All football. Any football. Lots of football. My older son, Jesse, works at a veterinarian's office. He loves helping animals and he likes video games. My younger son, Mitchell, graduated from Delaware Valley University in May 2018 and works full time as an assistant at a golf course in Chicago.

I love reading. Currently, I am reading the book Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. It's a novel about a Korean family. It begins in 1933 and I am at the part where WWII is taking place. In my language arts class, we just finished reading Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, which also takes place during WWII.

I love to cook. My favorite dishes are tacos (regular, fish, and shredded beef), sloppy joes, and sausage, peppers, and onions. In the winter months, I like to make butternut squash soup and chili. I could feed a small army by myself.

Finally, I love teaching in Lakehurst. I have friends and neighbors who were born and raised here. I have friends who work on the base. I've been here long enough to teach the children of former students. And, I've witnessed first hand how the school and community can come together and show their love for one another.
