practice giving with your family: #blog4cause

Welcome to #blog4cause: * November & December 2012 *

We’re one week into our #blog4cause, and it’s clear through the ideas already linked up and the conversations we’ve had on our social media platforms (you can always follow #blog4cause) that our friends and their kiddos are en fuego. On fire.

Each Saturday we’ll check in as a reminder to continue the conversation, let you know how we’re doing and what we’re up to–and eventually we’ll start sharing our tallies of funds collected, resources gathered, hours volunteered–you name it.ย ย  And remember that all of the information you will ever need for participating in #blog4cause is here on the original post: http://bit.ly/blog4causemain

This week, we’re rockin and rollin with our brand new #blog4cause Pinterest board–just another place to see some of the great ideas gathered in one safe and happy little spot.ย  Please go ahead and give it a follow so you stay on top of the #blog4caus game!

Here’s the skinny. . .

  • #blog4cause Pinterest Board of Family Giving Ideas: Each week, while Allie highlights one or two super ideas on her blog, I’ll pin a few great ideas onto our #blog4cause board.

#blog4cause pinterest board

So simple, I know. But for a gal who loves–and perpetually strives for–organization, Pinterest boards usually do the trick.

  • And each week, I’ll highlight some #blog4cause tweets as well:

Many, many thanks for participating in #blog4cause — we look forward to learning from you!

Lately when I find four leaf clovers, Iโ€™ve been leaving them. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

So if youโ€™re in Maryland, and you happen upon a lonely, little 4-leafer with very little grass, weeds, or leaves around it, I donโ€™t know WHO tried to set you up for success.

What do you know about dyslexia? 

What questions do you have about dyslexia? 

For the next few weeks leading up to my own start to the school year I am sharing a new series called โ€œDe-Mystifying Dyslexiaโ€ and I would love for you to join me! 

Follow in my stories or on the highlight above!

(Part 2) 

The series will be shared on IG stories, on tiktok, on the teachmama facebook page, and in the Take 5 newsletter. 

Look for the logo on social, and if you want to receive the whole thing via email, then sign up for Take5 on the link below. 

Iโ€™m really excited about this. Itโ€™s taken a long, long time to create, and the only thing I ask is that you, once viewing it all, could take 2 minutes to give me some feedback. There will be a google form on the last of the slides, at the end of the series. I thank you, I appreciate you, and I look forward to learning along with you.

Hi and thank you for your interest in watching my โ€˜de-mystifying dyslexiaโ€™ series. 

My name is Amy Mascott, and Iโ€™m a reading specialist and former high school English teacher. Iโ€™m also the creator of teachmama.com  where since 2008, Iโ€™ve helped families make meaningful connections with their kids and build bridges between home and school. 

As an educator, Iโ€™m always trying to share important informationโ€”bc I really think that when we know better, we do better. This series is part of my final project for a course Iโ€™m taking through Advancement Courses called โ€˜understanding dyslexiaโ€™. 

And as a reading teacher, I need to know all I can about this condition. What I realized is that I had a lot to learnโ€”maybe you, as a parent or teacher yourself, can also stand to learn a little bit. 

Maybe, like me, youโ€™ve grown up thinking that dyslexia was a condition where people read letters backwardsโ€”b for d or p for g? Maybe you thought, like I did, that if a person was dyslexic, they saw all of the letters jumbled together on the page? Iโ€™m here to tell you that both of those things are untrue. 

So if you would like to learn a little about dyslexiaโ€”if you would like for me to โ€˜de-mystify dyslexiaโ€™ for you, then follow along!
