Celebrating Hundred days of School – Ideas for art and craft

In American schools, the milestone of reaching 100 days of school in an academic year is often celebrated with various activities and projects. Recently, our daughter’s school in New Jersey organized a special event to commemorate this achievement. As part of the celebration, the students were encouraged to create something that symbolized their 100 days of learning. Our daughter, with her artistic flair and concern for the environment, crafted a unique artwork using 100 plastic bottle caps. Additionally, she incorporated heart-shaped stickers to display her appreciation for the wonderful journey of education. This article delves into the significance of her creation, highlighting the themes of recycling, reusing, and love for learning.

Embracing Environmental Awareness: Our daughter’s decision to utilize 100 plastic bottle caps in her artwork was a thoughtful gesture that promotes the principles of environmental conservation. By repurposing these bottle caps, she highlighted the importance of the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to our ecosystem, and reusing materials can play a crucial role in minimizing this impact. Through her artwork, our daughter aimed to raise awareness and inspire others to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives.

Keeping Our Environment Clean: One of the underlying messages conveyed by our daughter’s art is the significance of reusing materials to keep our surroundings clean. While we may strive to eliminate plastic from our lives completely, it is not always practical or feasible. Plastic often finds its way into our homes, and rather than discarding it immediately, reusing can be an effective alternative. Our daughter’s use of 100 bottle caps showcased how simple acts of reusing can contribute to a cleaner environment.

Expressing Love for Learning: Alongside her creative display of environmental awareness, our daughter expressed her affection for the 100 days of school through heart-shaped stickers that formed the number “100.” This symbolic representation served as a testament to her enjoyment and appreciation of the educational journey she embarked upon. It is a reminder of the many opportunities for growth, knowledge, and personal development that each day of school brings. The heart-shaped stickers also served as a heartfelt thank you to her teachers, classmates, and the entire school community for making her experience special and memorable.

Conclusion: The celebration of 100 days of school holds great significance in the American education system. Our daughter’s artwork, composed of 100 plastic bottle caps and heart-shaped stickers, beautifully encapsulates the essence of this milestone. By promoting the principles of recycling and reusing, she exemplifies the importance of caring for our environment. Simultaneously, her expression of love for learning reminds us of the invaluable impact of education. Through her creation, she has not only left a lasting impression but also inspired others to consider their role in preserving our planet and cherishing the joys of learning.

Hiking at Mt Tammany Hills

Mount Tammany Hiking Trail is in Hardwick New Jersey. It has both blue dot trails and red dot trails. Blue dot trail is the easier one and Red dot is the harder one and which is popular. We went in October and it was good. I guess its good in most of the seasons except in peak winters. Also it might get too hot in summers. Its always ideal to start early mornings if you are a beginner and hiking with kids. Because it will be difficult to get down once it gets dark. As you can see in the picture it has got dark by the time we reached down and having some snacks. Carry enough water and food with you in the car as you will not find any shops nearby. Also the rest rooms are of temporary kind not connected through the regular water supply so you can avoid it and use the nearest public restroom service by checking in google or GPS.

Also it might be a good idea to keep a rough map handy as these are in country side and signal might get lost.

The effort is worth it, you will get beautiful views and its very near to popular cities like Edison, East windsor etc so you should visit if you are living in NJ or Pennsylvania.

Always add insurance option while buying Travel Tickets

Referring to the article on ET people who were affected by the Balasore Train accident could have got some solace if they had paid the extra 35 paise as a part of insurance while buying the tickets. They would have got death benefit of 10 lakh, permanent disability 10 lakh, hospitalization coverage 2 lakh and Transportation of mortal remains INR 10,000. So this is just one example and one case.

How often do we select that insurance option while booking tickets? Now that we know about it we can definitely add this extra few paise or rupees while buying a train ticket or bus ticket. But most often for flight tickets the insurance part would be more. So we might not choose that option. But remember risk is also more while flying. So better to opt for that every time that option is there. Now we need to cross check of all the people who opted for that how many get the benefit and how soon. Because the family members might not even be aware if they had opted for that or not!! Not everyone buys tickets online. Hope Government compensates everyone affected by the accident.

Kathal – Movie on Netflix

I recently stumbled upon this movie Kathal on Netflix and was immediately drawn in by the intriguing trailer that accompanied the title. Eager to delve into it, I started watching and I must say, I was not disappointed. The film revolves around the theft of two unripe Jackfruits from an MLA’s house, prompting the police to embark on a mission to recover them. It’s safe to say that this movie falls under the genres of satire and dark comedy.

What amazed me was that my six-year-old son joined me in watching the film, and for him, it was simply a hilarious comedy packed with thrilling action. However, as an adult, I couldn’t help but appreciate the clever way the movie addressed various societal issues. It managed to touch upon these topics in a wise and thought-provoking manner.

If you have a spare two hours, I highly recommend giving this movie a watch. Whether you’re a fan of Indian cinema or simply curious about the realities of Indian police, villages, and families, this film offers a delightful and eye-opening experience. Prepare yourself for an entertaining ride that blends humor, social commentary, and a dash of action. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

  1. Finger Squeezes: Place a soft ball or stress ball in your hand and squeeze it tightly for a few seconds before releasing. Repeat this exercise several times with each hand.
  2. Finger Extensions: Place your hand flat on a table or any other surface. Lift each finger individually while keeping the others on the surface. Repeat this exercise for each finger of both hands.
  3. Thumb Opposition: Touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of each finger, one at a time, forming an “O” shape with your thumb and finger. Repeat this exercise several times with each finger on both hands.
  4. Hand Grips: Use a hand grip or grip strengthener tool and squeeze it repeatedly for a set number of repetitions. Gradually increase the resistance as your hand strength improves.
  5. Wrist Curls: Hold a light dumbbell or a similar weighted object in your hand with your palm facing up. Slowly curl your wrist upward and then lower it back down. Repeat this exercise for a set number of repetitions with each hand.
  6. Finger Tapping: Tap each finger to your thumb quickly and sequentially, starting with the index finger and moving to the pinky finger. Then reverse the direction. Repeat this exercise several times with each hand.

Remember to start with light resistance or repetitions and gradually increase them as your hand strength improves. If you have any underlying hand conditions or injuries, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional or a hand therapist for guidance on appropriate exercises and techniques.
