It has been a while since we had a school assembly Dog of the Month award here at Mobile Ed, and today is a fitting day to honor this one.
To no one's surprise, Steven Spielberg's film Lincoln has gathered a large array of nominations for this year's Academy Awards. Best Film, Best Actor and on and on. The film is brilliant and deserves all the recognition it can get. In particular, the performance of Daniel Day Lewis in the title role deserves supreme accolades.
As parents and educators, we’re always trying to find new ways to get our kids involved in their own futures. Our kids go to school to learn the skills that they’ll need to be great adults, but it’s not just for them individually. We need their great ideas too! The world of adults needs to help shape the great kids of tomorrow, and lately, this focus has very much been on the STEM areas: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
