Cookin’ Fun Tree Pops 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Wooden craft sticks 2 or 3 tubes green icing M&M's Minis Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then stir in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture, one third at a time mixing well after each addition. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough into 1/4 inch thickness between sheets of waxed paper. Remove the top sheet. Use a butter knife to cut out 3 1/4 inch tall triangles or use a christmas tree cookie cutter.

Place the trees on a lightly greased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Insert a craft stick three quarters of the way under each cookie. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookie edges turn light brown. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the pan after you remove it from the oven. Then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Now decorate the tree pops with piped on icing and candy lights out of M&M’s Minis.

Rules For The Kitchen!

1. Always ask an adult if you can use the kitchen.

2. Have all the ingredients before you start.

3. Wash your hands before you touch food.

4. Wear an apron or towel to keep your clothes clean.

5. Always clean up when you are finished.

Macaroon Angels 1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut 1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 large egg whites 1 1/2 teaspoons honey 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 36 Necco wafers Combine the two types of coconut in a large bowl. In a medium sized bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Add the egg whites, honey and vanilla extract and rapidly whisk the batter until it’s smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.

Pour the mixture over the coconut and toss it with a fork. Then use a wooden spoon to continue mixing until the coconut is evenly coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

Heat the oven to 300 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil that is lightly coated with cooking spray.

Place 12 evenly spaced mounds of dough on the baking sheet (about 1/4 cup each), loosely packed. With your hands, gently shape each mound into a tall cone with a blunt or straight top. If the dough sticks to your fingers, dampen them with water, shake off the excess, then continue.

Bake the macaroons on the center oven rack until they are light golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool them for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Have a responsible adult cut a slot for the candy wings and head by using a knife to saw a grooved pathway down the cone. Once you’ve started the cut, lightly pinch together the sides of the cookie to keep it from crumbling.

Insert two Necco waters into the sides of the groove for the wings and a third Necco for the angel’s head. Gently press the macaroon back together to secure the wafers.

For students, these inFOXGH JHWWLQJ RQ DQG Rႇ WKH EXV SXWWLQJ \RXU WKLQJV LQ \RXU locker, classroom rotations, returning to class from lunch, etc. Here are 3 common challenges that make transitions GLႈFXOW DQG LGHDV WR RYHUFRPH WKHP 1. I get confused - I don't know what's coming next.

Don't let transitions be disturbing – those problems can stay with you even after childhood! Set routines and expectations early. Consistency from day to day can help transitions become predictable and expected.

Combat anxiety-producing transitions by preparing ahead of time. Develop your calendar skills and write in your planner every morning and night. Include everything: due dates, tests, how long class is, your practice time for sports or music class, when mealtimes are, how long chores take. Even block time in your planner for video games, social media and recreation so you can really "see" where the time goes.

Start your projects and studying more than one day in advance. Break big tasks into smaller pieces. Schedule yourself several study sessions a week before, noting what you can do each day to work ahead, study and prepare.

During transition, review your written plan and you'll be FRQÂżGHQW \RX UH PRYLQJ WRZDUG VXFFHVV

If you don't take a minute to disengage DQG UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW \RX OO IHHO OLNH \RX UH DOZD\V EHKLQG Transitions are a great time for a brain break. 30 seconds to 5 minutes of being out of your seat in between subjects or homework projects helps your brain process and retain information. Do yoga, dance or just move around the room.

Brains needs an energizing wake up to function well.

3. I need to stop what I'm doing and I don't want to.

A little forewarning can help ease the anxiety of having to end activities abruptly. A simple countdown allows the brain more time to make adjustments.

Have you noticed as you progress from 6th to 8th grade you're given higher volumes of homework and more longterm projects? Teachers and parents want you to become empowered to do for yourself. When you have something like a project, a paper and a big test all falling in the same week you'll have to organize your homework sessions to transition from one subject to another.

Use an alarm to keep yourself on track. When your planner says it's time to study for, say an hour as example, set your clock alarm to chime 3 separate times - at 45 minutes; another for 55; and the last at 60 minutes. That way you'll 2.

Backyard Snow Activities Are Great Exercise!

Did you know that you exercise everyday and not even know it? Being active counts as exercise! So this winter, as the snow is falling, don’t just sit in front of the television or computer, bundle up WARM and go outside!

Make sure you wear gloves or mittens, coats, warm socks, snowpants, boots and whatever else keeps you dry and warm. In all outside activities, make sure you take breaks and come in to warm up and have something to drink.

BUILD AN IGLOO! You can make your own playhouse with snow! Get an old shoebox or plastic box shaped like one. Fill it with packing snow, pat it down and turn it upside down where you want it to be! When the snow comes out, it will look like a building brick. Keep adding them and stacking until you have the shape you want. You can even make snow furniture this way!

MAKE A SNOW ANGEL! You can do this by laying down on your back in the snow and moving your legs and arms in and out. Then stand up and take a look at the snow! You’ve made a snow angel!

BUILD A SNOWMAN! Building a snowman is a great way to use your muscles and help build your body strength as well as be creative! There are many ways to build a snowman. Some kids build their snowman by making a big mound of snow and shaping it. A favorite way is to make it out of balls! Let’s talk about that way...

When there are a few inches of snow on the ground, test the snow and see it it’s packing snow.

What that means is - see if the snow will clump together. The

snow has to pack to make the snowman. If it packs, make a ball out of the snow and place it on the ground in front of you. Start rolling it away from you and pack it occasionally with your hands. Keep doing this until it is the size you want for the bottom of the snowman’s body. The bottom should be the largest ball of snow. Do this for the mid-section of the snowman and it’s head. Pack some extra snow in between the balls so the snowman will stick together. Each section should get smaller. You can also build your snowman with two sections - one for the body and one for the head!

After your snowman is assembled, it’s time to get creative! The snowman needs a face! You can use coal, rocks, buttons or anything dark and round for the eyes. A stick would make a good mouth and a carrot would make a fine nose. Cover its head with an old knit hat or any old hat. You can spruce him up with a scarf or sunglasses.

If you decide you want your snowman to have arms - use sticks. Push the sticks into the side of the middle section and you can even hang old mittens on the ends for the hands!

THE BIGGEST SNOWBALL GAME Here’s a fun game - split your friends up into two teams or more. See which team can roll the biggest snowball. The game ends when the teams can no longer push the snowballs and roll them any further.

FOOTPRINT TAG Play tag as you normally would, but stepping only in other’s footprints!

SNOWMAN HAT TRICK Build a plump snowman in the yard. Make a game of taking turns trying to land a hat on his head by throwing it Frisbee style from 10 feet away! First person to land three wins!
