  OPERATION THANKSGIVING EAGLE 2009OPERATION_THANKSGIVING_EAGLE_2_FOR_SPONSORS.html
Thanksgiving / Givingthanks:  Celebrating an Attitude of Gratitude.  This upbeat, joyful family Thanksgiving program will take base on three military bases in the Greater Washington, DC area.  These live performances--supported by Raytheon, BAE Systems, Reach Out and Read, The American Red Cross, and the Association for the United States Army Family Programs--will embrace our nation’s Thanksgiving history through the five centuries.  (For example:  did you know that Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in the middle of the Civil War?)  It is topped off with American music, as the author rosins up her bow.  The children enjoy a holiday-themed snack, and leave with a Thanksgiving book, in hand, song in their heart, pride in their step, and more!THANKSGIVING___GIVINGTHANKS_PROJECT_2.htmlTHANKSGIVING___GIVINGTHANKS_PROJECT_2.htmlshapeimage_25_link_0
Operation Thanksgiving Eagle (OTE) is a most exciting project, involving the not-for-profit and corporate worlds to do right by our children of the military.  OTE is growing at a rapid pace:  Launched in 2008, we deliver the timeless Thanksgiving book (see above) to children of the military all over the globe, to thank them for their daily sacrifices on behalf of our freedom.  In partnership with the Association of the United States Army Family Programs, Raytheon underwrote the highly successful 2008 launch.  More history can be seen by clicking here for a QuickTime movie presentation.

Given its unprecedented response, BAE Systems joined forces with Raytheon for 2009.  In 2009, we’ve extended our reach of thanks to our Air Force and Navy.  We’ve forged new relationships and partnerships.  We’ve planned live family Thanksgiving events directly on military bases (see below for more of a description of the military program), overflowing with American history, music, joy, meaningful fun, and topped off with a thunderous thank you!

THINKIN’ LIKE LINCOLN:  
Velvet & Steel (Volume I)../Thinkin_Like_Lincoln/Home.html
Velvet & Steel:  Thinkin’ Like Lincoln.  This exciting project was created as part of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commemoration, but remains as timeless as Lincoln’s moral courage.  Seize this historic, monumental time as a teachable moment.  Combine U.S. History/Social Studies with Character Education--all in one fell swoop.  It’s worth every Lincoln Penny you’ll end up spending on it!  Speaking of which, do you know about the historic controversy over the Lincoln Penny?  Stay tuned.  Visit www.thinkinlikelincoln.com for more information.http://www.thinkinlikelincoln.com../Thinkin_Like_Lincoln/Home.htmlshapeimage_28_link_0
Friends!  Building Friendship Value by Value. No matter how far along your school is on the path of Character Education, year-round needs abound (“bullying” and “cliques” are just a few key buzzwords).  You know it, I know it, and our grandmothers sure knew it.  We adults need to circle the wagon.  We can drive these life-lessons and messages home in a creative, interactive, meaningfully fun manner.  What are we waiting for?  Let’s get movin’!

Brain Power!  Celebrating Learning Differences.  Guess what?  Individuals have different learning styles and, notwithstanding some controversy, multiple intelligences. Brain research is burgeoning and incredibly exciting.  Let’s share some child-friendly neurosciences with your students while we celebrate learning differences!  We guarantee students (and adults) will samba dance their way out of the assembly as they chant and say in sign language:  “Go Brain Power!  Viva a   diferenca!”  [Portuguese for “celebrate differences!”]. BRAIN_POWER_PROJECT.html
The Gift of Writing Project. Give your students the gift of writing, all tied up with a big green bow . . . and a yellow bow . . . and a red bow.  Let them experience the writing process visually, aurally, kinesthetically, and cognitively.  Next time they pick up a pencil to write, they’ll be grinning from ear to ear!  We love to do workshops geared to specific grades, supplementing what is being done in class.  April is National Poetry Month.  A Poetry Workshop, tailored to your interests, awaits beyond Harmony Hearth’s gates . . .GIFT_OF_WRITING_PROJECT.html
