It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of everyday life and forget to enjoy the little things. Many of us put our relaxing hobbies like reading on the backburner, but this month, pick up a few new books and make time to read them.
💜 Reading provides mental stimulation. Just like any other muscle in our bodies, our brains need exercise and nourishment to help it stay strong and healthy. Studies have also shown that it can slow, or even prevent altogether, diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia.
💜 It reduces stress. Reading has the power to take you to another place and help you forget about any stress going on in your life in the real world. Take a well-deserved break and sit down with a book.
💜 It provides you with knowledge. Even if you're reading fiction, everything you take in provides your brain with new knowledge... And that's something that can never be taken away from you.

The Milgram experiment was a famous 1960s social psychology study by Stanley Milgram that measured how willingly ordinary people would obey an authority figure and administer painful, fake electric shocks to an innocent person. In the baseline study, 65% of participants (26 out of 40) delivered the maximum 450-volt shock, despite the learner's cries and eventual silence. The study faced major criticism for severe psychological stress, deception, and a lack of informed consent for the human subjects.

Every Friday, we have a community adventure with the students. We recently explored the lost settlement of Alice in Pickens County using metal detectors.
Students found old nails and discarded tools that had been buried for decades.
They also learned about some of the history of the property that once held a thriving town with a gold mine and mills.

It seems since the beginning of time, people throughout the world have been expressing themselves through poetry. Known for its distinctive style and rhythm, poetry offers a great way to express feelings and ideas. It’s a chance to create connection through a shared verse, spark emotion to capture joy, nostalgia, humor, and wonder. Random Acts of Poetry Day is the perfect excuse to find words for your own thoughts and feelings and share them with the world!

It's National Mad Hatter Day! The fictional character, The Hatter (also known as The Mad Hatter) from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (published in 1865), is typically acting silly, and that is how the creators of this day decided on their theme of silliness for National Mad Hatter Day.
Taking inspiration from The Mad Hatter (or any of Carroll's characters for that matter) we may pursue laughable, absurd, or even confusing adventures on National Mad Hatter Day.
