First Day Of School Coming Right Up! The first day of school is exciting. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day because of all the new things. New teachers, new friends and maybe even a new school.

Most teachers start off the school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing this year. They may also talk about classroom rules you need to know. Some ask that students introduce themselves to the class and tell something about themselves.

You may already know most of the kids in your class but, the first day is also a great time to make a new friend if there is someone new in your classroom. Make the first move and say hello. Making someone new feel comfortable in their new environment is a wonderful thing to do.

A great idea for starting the new year is to make some resolutions to study smarter this year. When you do well in school, you feel better about yourself on the whole. The following are some ideas to help.

1. Pay attention in class. Make sure you are sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention. Can you see the chalkboard? If you can’t tell your parents or teacher.

2. Take good notes in class. Write down facts that your teacher mentions in class or writes on the board. Review these notes later as they will help you with quizzes or papers you need to write.

3. Plan ahead. Don’t wait until Thursday night to study for Friday’s test! It makes it hard to do your best. Write down on a calendar your test and assignment due dates. Then every day plan how much time to spend on each subject.

4. Break it up if there’s a lot to study. Study some each day. That’s where practice comes in. The more days you spend reviewing

something, the more likely it will stick in your brain. Also study your homework for about 45 minutes, take a break for some water or snack and begin again if you have a lot to do.

Fight the temptation to turn on the TV and stop doing what you need to.

5. Ask for help if you don’t understand the material. Teachers are more than willing to clear up the confusion or if you’re home, ask mom or dad.

6. Get some sleep. Your brain needs time to digest all the information you’ve studied. With a good night’s sleep, you will do better on the test your going to take!

James Earl Carter, Jr. 39th President of United States, 1977-1981 Jimmy Carter was born in Plains, Georgia on October 1, 1924. The mainstays of his upbringing were peanut farming, politics and devotion to the Baptist faith. In 1946, after graduating from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, he married Rosalynn Smith.

They have three sons, John, James, Donnel and a daughter, Amy. After seven years as a naval officer, Carter returned to Plains. In 1962, he entered state politics and eight years later was elected Governor of Georgia. He emphasized ecology, efficiency in government and the removal of racial barriers.

In December 1974, he began a two year campaign for the presidency. He worked hard and ended up winning against President Gerald R. Ford.

President Carter had a number of achievements in domestic affairs: • He dealt with the energy shortage by establishing a national energy policy and by decontrolling domestic petroleum prices to stimulate production. • He prompted government efficiency through civil service reform and proceeded with deregulation of the trucking and airline industries. • He sought to improve the environment. • His expansion of the national park system included protection of 103 million acres of Alaskan lands. • To increase human and social services, he created the Department of Education, bolstered the Social Security system, and appointed record numbers of women, blacks, and Hispanics to Government jobs. • Under his presidency the US officially recognized the people’s republic of China in 1979.

In foreign affairs, his championing of human rights was coldly received by the Soviet Union and other nations. In the Middle East, with the Camp David agreement of 1978,

President Carter and his wife volunteer one week a year for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that helps needy people in the United States and in other countries renovate and build homes for themselves.

he helped bring amity between Egypt and Isreal. He obtained ratification of the Panama Canal treaties. He also completed negotiation of the SALT II nuclear limitation treaty with the Soviet Union which got suspended with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

It was during President Carter’s time in office that the seizure of the U.S. embassy staff by Iran happened.

Continuing the difficult negotiations over the hostages, Iran finally released the 52 Americans the same day Carter left office.

Interesting Facts: • President Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 . It came as a response to his work in promoting human rights, trying to resolve conflicts peacefully and providing health care and food to the world's poor. • President Carter collects bottles and arrowheads. • He reads 3 to 4 books per week and has taken a speed reading course. • To keep in shape, President Carter rides a bicycle, jogs and plays tennis. • His favorite spectator sport is baseball.

Dalmatians Are Natives of Croatia The Dalmatian dog is a breed whose roots are often said to trace back to Dalmatia, a region of Croatia where the first illustrations of the dog have been found. The role of ancient dalmatians was as a “dog of war� guarding the borders in Dalmatia.

To this day, Dalmatians retain a high guarding instinct.

The Dalmatian is noted for its unique black- or brown - spotted coat and was mainly used as a carriage dog in its early days in Europe. Today, this dog remains a well loved family pet and many dog enthusiasts enter their pets into competitions of the many kennel clubs.

Dalmatians are a mid-sized, muscular dog with lots of endurance and stamina. They weigh full grown 35 to 70 pounds.

The males are slightly larger than the females. They stand up to 24 inches high. Their ears are thin and taper towards the tip and set high close to the head. Dalmatians eye color varies.from brown, amber or blue. Some dogs have one blue eye and one brown eye or other combinations.

When Dalmatians are born, their coats are plain and white.

Spots appear within a week after their birth. One month later, they usually have most of their spots, although they continue to develop some at a much slower rate throughout their life.

These dogs have a strong hunting instinct. In sports, Dalmatians are used as bird dogs, trail hounds, retrievers or in packs for boar or stag hunting.

But they are best known for their role as firefighting escorts and firehouse mascots. They

are good watchdogs and it is believed that they may have been useful to fire brigades as guard dogs to protect a firehouse and its equipment. When fire engines were drawn by fast and powerful horses, the horses were a tempting target for thieves, so Dalmatians guarded them.

In recent times, the Dalmatian is also associated in the United States with Budweiser Beer and the Busch Garden theme parks.

Their team of Clydesdale horses is always accompanied by a Dalmatian carriage dog. Historically, Dalmatians were used by brewers to guard the wagon while the drivers were making deliveries.

In 1956, English author Dodie Smith wrote The One Hundred and One Dalmatians, which, in 1961, was adapted as the Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmatians. In 1996, the film was remade as 101 Dalmatians and the following year developed into a Disney TV series titled 101 Dalmatians: The Series.
