Keeping Current

One of the great things about working in several schools is the creativity of teachers I get to see every day.  Several teachers use "News-2-You"  https://www.n2y.com/news-2-you/  for ideas and materials for presenting current events and special topics to their students.  Other teachers follow websites that feature common and quirky celebrations by the month or day, such as this one:

https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/play-your-ukulele-day/

Note:  There are some "over 21" celebrations on this site, make sure you don't have students peering over your shoulder while you're browsing...

Celebrating this particular musical instrument struck a chord with me, since ukuleles seem to be popping up everywhere recently.  Also, this wonderful instrument:  http://acousticguitar.com/seagull-merlin/   what a great sound!
