Casa de Montessori

Hi! We are a brand new dog walking service for Tupelo and surrounding cities!
After looking for pet care ourselves, and noticing how much it would be for our furry friends to get walked or attend daycare, we decided to bring an affordable option to town. These are our monthly packages. Each package comes with a 30 minute walk/visit, fresh water refill, and check ins with owners!
Our goal is to directly eliminate guilt for pet owners while they fulfill their responsibilities.
We hope to make your days easier by assisting with your furry friends and cannot wait to meet them all!
Message us for more information or email [email protected] !

We beat the rain! 🥳

I love this!

Minneapolis teacher removes tech from classroom - Maureen Mulvaney, an English teacher at Washburn High School in south Minneapolis, removed technology from her classroom for the first half of the school year.

You let them stay up "just this once." A family event. A late movie. A weekend with no rules. It feels harmless.

Their body disagrees.

Deep sleep is when the body does its most important repair work. Growth hormone is released almost exclusively during slow wave sleep, which happens in the first few hours after falling asleep. Pushing bedtime later cuts that window short. The body simply does not have enough time to finish the job.

The consequences show up fast. A tired child is not just sleepy. They are irritable, impulsive, and emotionally explosive. The prefrontal cortex, which controls behavior and decision making, is highly sensitive to sleep loss. Without enough rest, a child cannot regulate their emotions or think clearly. That is not bad behavior. That is a brain running on empty.

Physical growth suffers too. Growth hormone is released in pulses during deep sleep. Children with consistently late bedtimes have been shown to have lower growth hormone secretion, which can affect height and muscle development over time.

The immune system takes a hit as well. Sleep deprived children get sick more often and take longer to recover. Cytokines, the proteins that fight infection, are produced during sleep. Missing that window leaves the body vulnerable.

Here is what parents can do. Set a consistent bedtime, even on weekends. The body craves routine. Create a wind down period with no screens at least one hour before sleep. Blue light delays melatonin production. Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Watch for signs of sleep deprivation. Waking up groggy, falling asleep during car rides, and sudden mood swings are all red flags.

One late night will not ruin your child. But a pattern of late nights will. Their body is building itself while they sleep. Do not let the clock steal that time.

Google is no longer a search engine — it is an AI assistant. Search is basically an algorithm for finding information online. An AI assistant finds the information it thinks is valuable, and then does its own analysis of that information. It would be like going to the library & someone meeting you at the door, taking your question, and bringing you THEIR answer. This is literally antithetical to learning. If you would like a search engine that is still… search, I recommend Duck Duck Go. I’m so f*ing tired of this. And it’s just the beginning. #kidstech #parenting #kidsonline #genai #techkids
