Students will learn about the marine isotope stages that tell us how cold the ocean waters were in the past. They will be able to predict how temperatures would have oscillated 1,280,000 - 2,580,000 million years ago by studying 16O and 18O, two isotopes of oxygen that have different atomic masses. Students will also explore Milutin Milankovic's theory, which explains how the ice age starts and stops. This is an amazing opportunity for them to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind ice ages and to develop critical thinking skills. So what are you waiting for? Get ready to explore the science of ice ages with our exciting curriculum!

Are you looking for a way to teach middle and high school science students about ice ages and climate change? Our two pages of condensed and accurate informational climate science reading material is perfect for middle and high school science classes. This material covers the climatic weather patterns called The Oldest Dryas and Younger Dryas periods of the Pleistocene epoch. During these periods, there was an abrupt cooling that occurred during the last glacial period. We include a notes page and answer questions that students can submit to their teacher. Students learn about what causes climate changes over eons, eras, and periods. They also understand the astronomical changes involving our sun, planets, Earth's orbit, and our planet's tilt, how the sun and heat reflection all contribute to climate change. This material will give your students a better understanding of the science behind climate change and the ice ages. Invest in this curriculum today and help your students better understand the world around them!

Bering Land Bridge Science Curriculum, Middle School science, Mastodon, Woolly Mammoth
The Beringian subcontinent was home to many fascinating creatures, including the mighty mastodons. These large, elephant-like animals roamed the land, foraging for plants and leaves. Mastodons were covered in a thick coat of fur, which helped them to stay warm in the cold climate of Beringia. Despite their massive size, mastodons were actually quite gentle creatures and were not aggressive towards humans. Today, remains of mastodons have been discovered in Alaska, Canada, and Siberia, providing us with a glimpse into the world of these fascinating animals.

Le Jour de Saint Valentine

 Hello fellow polyglots, 

It has been ages since I've posted here, and I've often asked myself why I didn't revisit my polyglot blog for so long. Life has been moving forward, and we've lost some important people along the way. March 2021 we lost our dear Moses McCormick. I was enveloped with such sadness when I learned of his passing. He was shy of his 40th birthday. I knew Moses, and was friends with Moses for well over ten years, his death really hit me like a brick. 

Moses would want me to continue what I do best, which is to provide foreign language educational resources to parents and teachers. Moses lived a rich life, he was humble, kind, and brought himself to the world like no person I have ever known in my life. He touched peoples hearts, because when Moses spoke to you, you know that he sees you. He used language to bridge the gap between himself and the world. I simply can't see how anyone could fill those shoes. 

I've been embarking on my own projects, namely how can I bring more information, knowledge, value, and resources to people who what to learn language, and to those who want to give their little ones the value of foreign language? 

As a trilingual mother, I know that teaching my own children can be pretty challenging. In fact, teaching other children is easier than my own. I get the challenges we parents face. But at the end of the day we do it because we love them. I love my children and I know my readers love theirs too. 

Here is a snipped of my most recent project, it's a fun Valentines Day project for children aged 5 - 12. There are two activities, Valentines Day in Italy and Valentines Day in France. The kiddos will learn cute love words, valentine's day vocabulary and play with some syllable flashcards to aide correct pronunciation in both French and Italian. 

When I made this, I simply thought that our Valentines Day activities need a little more spice. I hope I provided it.

 


Pacific Northwest Language Camps for kids

Hello parents,

It is winter - which means it is time to start planning our children's summer camps. If you can't show your children the world over the summer, then bring the world to them by enrolling them in a camp where they will be immersed in another language. As research has shown, learning another language has amazing brainpower benefits for children. Moreover, even if your child isn't exposed to that language for several years, when/if the time comes your child does resume that language, relearning will be much easier. I repeat - relearning is exponentially easier than learning!
