• Homework  for  STRIVE  students  is real  life  application of the  practical skills  that are  reinforced  in class.   Students  are  encouraged to  read the  newspaper and  read for  pleasure. Students  should  also have  a  library  card for  their own local library  which  they  can use in the  Ridgefield  Public  Library.  Students  should practice  using  money  in their  communities on a  regular  basis by paying for  expenses  in the  community and  possibly   maintaining their own  bank account.  Students should  keep a  budget  record of  their   expenses to  help  them  be aware of their  money   management  skills.

    In the realm of infectious diseases, a pandemic is the worst case scenario. When an epidemic spreads beyond a country’s borders, that’s when the disease officially becomes a pandemic.

    Communicable diseases existed during humankind’s hunter-gatherer days, but the shift to agrarian life 10,000 years ago created communities that made epidemics more possible. Malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, influenzasmallpox and others first appeared during this period.

    The more civilized humans became, building cities and forging trade routes to connect with other cities, and waging wars with them, the more likely pandemics became.

     Choice 1:  Yamslam is a dice game built on the same Yahtzee mechanic of rolling 5 dice up to 3 times while holding dice that you want to use for a scoring category. But Yamslam is a lot quicker and more competitive. And you won’t need to worry about recording your score on a pad of paper. Instead, when you complete a category, you take one of the chips for that category.

    Choice 2:  Read

    "Slim chance" leaves some possibility. Chances are small, but it still could happen. Sometimes, "slim chance" is even used optimistically or to encourage. If your sports team is losing the big game, you might reassure your friends, “Don’t give up yet. There’s still a slim chance that they could pull this off!”

    "Fat chance" leaves essentially no possibility and is almost always used negatively. If your ex asked you out on a date after a rough breakup, you might reply: "You think we should we get back together? Fat chance of that happening!" That date isn’t going to happen. There’s absolutely no chance, but you wanted to say it with some extra oomph.

    So  if you are  hoping for something to  happen, would you rather  hear that it is a "slim chance" or "fat chance"?  ___________________

    If you’re shopping for a new TV, you may have seen terms like 4K, 1080p, and 720p. These terms refer to the resolution, or how much detail the screen can display. We’re going to give you a brief overview of common TV resolutions, and also show you how to find content that will look good on your TV.Every TV screen is composed of numerous pixels, which are tiny squares that can display a specific color. Because each pixel is so small, you normally won't notice each one unless you are very close to your TV.

    The more pixels the screen has, the higher its resolution. A higher resolution will allow the TV to display more detail, which means movies and TV shows will look better.

    The stone fish is the world’s most venomous fish. Unlike most venomous creatures, the stone fish doesn’t use its venom for hunting purposes, but rather for defense. If it’s in danger of becoming a snack, the stone fish will swipe the predator with its spiny dorsal fin and inject venom, which is capable of killing an adult human in less than an hour. Needless to say, it’s pretty effective — even against larger predators.

    To Stand or Not to Stand?

    In 2016, Vallecito Elementary School in San Rafael, California, became the first U.S. school to replace all of its ordinary desks with raised desks that students stand at. Speaking to a reporter from TIME for Kids magazine, one student at the school gave the standing desks high praise. "You feel happier, you're less tired, and you're more active," she said. According to several studies, children working at standing desks burn more calories and are more focused on tasks. However, some teachers and parents are opposed to the change. They are concerned that standing for long periods of time could cause fatigue, strain on the legs and feet, or posture problems. In addition, standing desks are more expensive than seated desks. Only time will tell whether standing desks will prove to be the next big trend or a failed experiment.

    What is the main idea of the passage?

    Studies have shown that standing desks help students focus on their schoolwork while being more active.

    Some people say that standing desks promote good study habits, but others are wary about the new desks.

    Read  below.. Which  game would you like to try?

     

    Family game recommendations

    From Tiki Tiki Board Games owner Ryan Morrison. We’ve listed Amazon. com price and link but encourage you to call your local toy store to see if it has the game in stock.

    Cinco Linko The goal of Cinco Linko is to connect five of your colored tiles in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. It’s a simple, yet technique-driven game. “We usually start or end our game nights with it,” said Morrison. “It’s like tic-tac-toe but with more variation.”

    Costs $7.88 on Amazon.com.

    Take Five

    Take Five is a reprint of the German games 6 nimmt and X nimmt. In each card game, you attempt to score as few points as possible by placing cards down to get rid of your own cards and beat out other players. “It’s an unpredictable numbers game,” said Morrison.

    Costs $13.16 on Amazon.com.

    Splendor

    In Splendor, players try to build their jewel empire by buying gem mines, shops and means of transportation. The more you acquire, the more points you get.

    Costs $31.39 on Amazon.com.

    Can’t Stop

    Can’t Stop is an old game from the ‘80s where you have to press your luck by rolling dice and laying claim to columns on the game board. Players can keep rolling the dice until they choose to end their turn -- the more they roll the more they can win or lose.

    Costs $15 used on Amazon.com.

    Reading:  Read  below

    Setting a goal is easy – the challenge is sticking to it. Here are your top tips for sticking to your goals: First and foremost, create SMART goals. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.

     

    Specific: Your goal needs to be specific to you. It needs to be clear and identify what you want to achieve, why you want to achieve it.

    Measurable: Your goal should be measurable in terms of what you are trying to achieve. It needs to encompass a measurement that you can work toward to gauge progress. Whether that be committing to exercise three times a week, losing a certain amount of weight or achieving a time at a future event.

    Achievable: Your goal needs to be achievable. You need to want to achieve your goal and believe in yourself to succeed.

    Realistic: Your goal must be realistic. If you have never run before, then setting a goal to run a marathon in four weeks is not realistic. Review the timeframe in which you wish to achieve your goal and use this as a base. Setting short-term benchmarks along the way will help keep you on track with your long-term goal.

    Time-based: You need a deadline/ time in which you will accomplish each goal. Having a set time frame will facilitate adherence and consistency and support your success.

      Answer:     How  can you  stick to your goals?

    Le French Dad Boulangerie, Montclair

    If Arben Gasi’s breads are good enough for Le Faubourg in Montclair, one of New Jersey’s best French restaurants, it’s good enough for me. Actually it’s more than good. It’s pretty darn terrific. There are 10 varieties. Know that Gasi gets his ingredients from nearby farms — except for his butter, which is imported from France. Want a fresh-baked baguette that sports a bagel’s “everything” spices? What about honey spelt cranberry almond made with organic rye and spelt? Just order online. But if you’d like to try your hand at making bread yourself, you can pick up eggs, flour and milk at the shop.

    Go: 10 Church St., Montclair; 973-746-0288, lefrenchdad.com.

    And now for something completely different. NJ Audubon’s famed Cape May Spring Festival will be one of the first virtual birding events ever.

    Every May since the late 1970s, the festival has drawn hundreds and hundreds of nature lovers. The attraction: an incredible array of migrating warblers and shorebirds in one of world's premier birding destinations.

    But with the Covid-19 storm clouds hanging over all major gatherings, NJ Audubon will present the event live online via Zoom Pro on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24.

    The virtual festival will feature the top bird-watching locations, identification workshops, a question-and-answer panel, and keynote talks. The goal is to make birders and others appreciate Cape May even more and to attract them after the current situation ends.

    “For this festival, you don’t need rain gear,” says Ewald. “You don’t need bug spray. You don’t need to worry about maps or getting to a place. You don’t even need binoculars. You can just stay at home, relax, and enjoy birds and birding in Cape May.”

     

     Answer:  What are some advantages  of the  virtual  bird watching  event? (Hint:  last  paragraph)

    Duck Donuts is making its way to Bergen County. The gourmet doughnut shop is set to open two new locations. One of the locations is Sprout Brook Shopping Center in Paramus.

    The warm delicious and made-to-order doughnuts, as they have coined themselves, will be neighbors to other shops and eateries including Smashburger.

    Duck Donuts was founded in 2007 in Duck, North Carolina. Founder Russell A. DiGilio, was on vacation with his family in Duck, NC. The family noticed there was nowhere to get a fresh doughnut, so they decided to create their own.

    Duck Donuts has 87 locations across the U.S. and five locations in New Jersey in Avalon, Clark, Green Brook, Marlton, and Middletown.

    How many years  ago  was   Duck Donuts founded?
