Holiday Break

What is the best part about being off school for 2 weeks? What is the gift that would make you the happiest? Tell me a tradition your family does?

My favorite gift would be anew camera, I really need one. I love to be off work to go visit family and friends. One of our traditions is we sing The 12 days of Christmas and each take a day and have alot of fun being pretty silly with the song.

Rescue

Many times in life you will have to think quickly. I have had to act quickly before. Once when I saw a student fall on their way into school. I first ran to them to comfort them because he was crying. I always make sure they are OK, as I wait for the nurse etc. Many times at my home I have had to "think quick" to help my own kids.

1. Is there a time you had to react quickly at school or home to an unexpected situation? What did you do? Have you or your family ever called 911?

Fairytales

Everyone has a favorite fairytale. My favorite fairytale is Beauty and the Beast. I have always loved the way she adored the beast even before he turns into a handsome prince. This year there was a royalty wedding with William and Kate.which was a true story,but seemed like a fairytale.

Your Full Name

Think today about people who go by their full complete name. Frank Lloyd Wright for example. He is never called Frank Wright. Always his full complete name. Martin Luther King is also known by his full name.My full name is Debra Jean Ann Kusnik, my middle name is after my grandmother.
