Little Bird Tales - Home 3rd Grade Thoughts This post is all about yet another reason why I love the teacher blogging world! While browsing on Pinterest all summer, I came across a very cool program: 7 Habits of Happy Kids. I instantly fell in love, especially with the very first habit of "Being Proactive"-- aaah, music to my teacher ears! This program is under the larger umbrella of Leader in Me and was developed my the Coveys (of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People fame).

Weather Wiz Kids weather information for kids 13 Colonies Trades and Artisans « Cooper Coopers were tradesman who made casks, buckets, barrels, and containers for flour, gunpowder, tobacco, shipping, wine, milk, and other liquids. One kind of container, the hogshead, was used to ship huge quantities of tobacco from the colonies to England. Because the demand for containers was high, colonial coopers made millions of such containers every year. Although coopers are traditionally known for creating barrels (casks), it was actually the “tight cooper” who made them. Other coopers began specializing in making specific types of containers that they could mass produce quickly. The construction of a barrel (more accurately called a cask) took skill, experience, and significant manual labor. The word cooper comes from the Middle English word “couper,” which means tub or container.
