We all know that school life is the golden period of our lives but gone are the days for every 90s kid. We often say we don't realise the value of the moment till it's gone, the same goes with the school. Who knew the history periods we used to hate would be something we will be missing.
I grew up before the Internet. When we had a research paper assigned at school, kids went to the library to look for information in books and the reference section -- and usually had a set of encyclopedias at home. In my family, we had The World Book Encyclopedia. I used it often for school reports, and sometimes just read at random about interesting topics like animals or dogs. I remember there were some pages that had acetate layers, so you could look, for instance, at parts of the body one layer at a time. My Mom still has this encyclopedia set at her home, and I still enjoy looking at it. We also got a yearly annual from World Book, with updates on current events and new information from the previous year. World Book is still around and published in both print edition and online resource -- visit World Book here. I found it heartening to know that this beloved encyclopedia is still around! Did you have an encyclopedia set when you were growing up? What do you remember about it? I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
Thermic vegetables, also known as free or negative calorie vegetables, burn more calories than they contain: “Your body requires on average 150-250 calories to digest your food, depending on your weight, gender and activity level. If you eat something that has a caloric content of 100 calories, you will actually burn more calories than you ingest” (wisegeek.com). Of course not everyone agrees that these vegetables burn more calories than they are worth. In her article There Are No Negative-Calorie Foods, Dr. Nancy Snyderman states that while “chewing celery might seem like a strenuous activity, it burns about the same amount

Everyone has very specific things they remember from their childhood. Take a stroll down memory lane with this batch of nostalgic memes and pics...
Nostalgia has a place in everyone's hearts, but no one floods the internet with their sentiments about the past as much as 90s kids. The 90s, after all, were a magical time when playing silly games outside all day met the development of modern technologies that have shaped and molded us into who we are now. And proud about it we are. However, since no age group spends online as much time as we do, cut us some slack, why don't you?
These pics are sure to take you back.
It was a hot, sunny afternoon yesterday, and the kiddos weren't moving very fast, and I realized it was time to get out the water misters. Wow did everyone perk up! At first they just jumped and danced in the mist, rubbing the water on their faces and into their hair, and announcing things like, "It's summer!" "It's foggy!" "I see a rainbow!" Pure joy, a wonder to behold. Then something even better happened! Here's the story, mostly in pictures, with some explanation from me, and quotes from the kiddos. One of the kiddos noticed a small leak in the hose, spraying water up in a small arc. Quickly word spread, and the kiddos who were using buckets to try to catch the mist quickly moved over to the leak. They all shared and took turns! There was, of course, some negotiating: "I'm next", "You're taking too long!" "You're getting me wet", etc., but the kiddos quickly sorted that out, and did an awesome job of waiting for that most precious resource: the water. Here come some more kiddos to investigate... ... and off they go to get buckets! Now, as an adult, I saw a problem: the water wasn't spraying up very far, and the children had the buckets laying flat, or even slightly inverted, so they weren't catching much water at all. They tried putting their fingers over part of the leak - I'm not sure if they were trying to focus the spray so only the part going into the buckets was leaking, or if they were enjoying the feeling of the spray on their fingers - my guess is it was a little of both. It didn't matter how little water they caught! They were having fun! They compared... "Hey, can I have some water?" The children started sharing the few drops they had worked so hard to collect! "I gave my water to my friend." Next step, add some dirt. Look how industriously they are working to collect it! Into the now communal bucket. "Here's some nice crunchy leaves." Isn't it pretty? "We need to stir it!" Sticks were found, broken to a good length, and the mix was perfected. What a treat, as their teacher, so see all the skills the kiddos brought to this experience. I was, and still am, impressed by how well they all played together to enjoy this experience. They shared, took turns, listened to each other, and worked cooperatively to make this glorious bucket of muck. They compared volume and water color. They labelled what they were seeing: mist, fog, a rainbow. They were scientists in a very preschool way, and joyous in the learning and doing. Yes, sunshine + water does indeed = joy!
