Lord, grant me as a teacher…
Wisdom to teach principles as well as facts;
Courage to stand firm when challenged by parent or child;
Persistence to teach again and again;
And then again;
Vision to know that results will show
far down the road;
Patience, Lord, patience,
forever and unending.
AMEN
It’s that time of year when students are looking for summer school to enhance or supplement their education. Please share this out with all teachers, parents and administration. It could help students get into colleges or trades that will make a huge difference in their lives. This is the same curriculum that The Bridge Virtual Academy utilized. Thanks! ~Sandy
Scientists are studying cause(s) and risk factors in an effort to find better ways to manage and reduce the chances of a person having ADHD. The cause(s) and risk factors for ADHD are unknown, but current research shows that genetics plays an important role. Recent studies of twins link genes with ADHD.1
In addition to genetics, scientists are studying other possible causes and risk factors including:
Research does not support the popularly held views that ADHD is caused by eating too much sugar, watching too much television, parenting, or social and environmental factors such as poverty or family chaos. Of course, many things, including these, might make symptoms worse, especially in certain people. But the evidence is not strong enough to conclude that they are the main causes of ADHD.
For more information about cause(s) and risk factors, visit the National Resource Center on ADHD.

The information below is being forwarded to you regarding the International Wolf Center and its ability to offer distance learning. The International Wolf Center is now offering virtual field trips, where we can live-stream directly into any classroom and do educational wolf programs. The International Wolf Center is a non-profit organization located in Ely, a northern Minnesota town. Our aim for every WolfLink virtual field trip program is to keep students engaged while also providing the opportunity for educators to meet state and national education standards.
These programs are very simple to set up. They really only require an internet connection to perform, and they are very cost-effective for teachers that have limited field-trip budgets. Our 2017 rate is $75 per program.
The website for the program is: http://www.wolf.org/programs/educator-resources-wolf-link/video-conferencing/
