Sarah Stilwell Weber (1878-1939) or (1863-1935), both sets of dates are in various places on the Internet, was a successful illustrator during the first two decades of the 20th century. Her illustrations graced the covers and interiors of several leading magazines as well as books and advertisements. Unfortunately, I can find little in the way of information about her on the Internet, though two sites dealing with her are here and here. What little detail follows is gleaned from Walt Reed's "The Illustrator in America, 1860-2000." Reed and other sources I'm inclined to trust have 1878-1939 as her dates. She studied under Howard Pyle both at Drexel and in summer sessions at Chadd's Ford. Reed also notes her book illustration work and some advertising clients. That being that, all I can do is present some examples of her work. Gallery Harper's magazine interior page - February 1903 Stilwell was hitting the big-time around age 25. Collier's - August 1907 Collier's cover art - 17 March 1906 One of Stilwell's best-known works. Saturday Evening Post cover - 19 January 1916 It seems she borrowed the general idea ten years later for Collier's rival, the Post. Saturday Evening Post cover - 29 January 1910 Saturday Evening Post cover - 20 August 1910 Many of her covers used children as subjects. Vogue cover - 15 October 1912 More leopard, this time skinned, and for Vogue. Vogue cover - 15 June 1913 This seems to be unsigned, but Internet sites credit her with the illustration. Collier's cover - 9 May 1914 A really fine illustration here. Saturday Evening Post cover - 3 March 1917 The Russian-type costume was ill-timed, because the February Revolution (March 8-12, new calendar) occurred just after this issue was off the news stands, and Russia became more chaotic than it usually was in those years.
Praising kids can be harmful to their self-esteem and self-confidence. Research indicates that when kids are lavished with praise it leads them to develop a fixed mindset.

This is a great phonics guide for students. You can print this out front and back (I would laminate it or put it in a sheet protector) for each of your students to reference throughout the school year. It is also a great resource to send home for parents. I also created larger versions that can be used at centers or small groups. Phonics Guide Contains: Vowels Consonants L Blends S Blends R Blends R-Controlled Vowels Vowel Digraphs Consonant Digraphs Diphthongs I will be teaching 1st grade this year and I thought this would be a wonderful reference for my students. I hope you enjoy it! Please, let me know what you think! Happy teaching :)

The foundation of this creamy casserole is a classic mornay sauce, a béchamel sauce to which cheese has been added—in this case, Comté, a French cheese with a complex, nutty flavor that melts beautifully. The dish comes from Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro, in the Napa Valley, where the staff makes it as part of their annual Thanksgiving dinner for veterans and their families.

A gaggle of vintage children! The older kid's hat looks like a pith helmet, though it's not. Safari time! This is also back when they dressed little boys as girls. I would have figured little gramps there was a girl if I didn't already know better (he's left/front). This must have been a favorite place to get photos taken, since I've seen that same elaborate chair in quite a few other shots.
Truly a great time to be a kid!

The majority of kids (and adults) feel angry and frustrated sometimes. Anger is an emotion and it is ok to experience emotions. The problem sometimes is how kids act when they feel angry or frustrated.
