by

tsl_book_cover

The Sassy Ladies toolkit for Start-up Businesses written by Michelle Girasole, Wendy Hanson and Miriam Perry RRP $16.95

This book is a must have resource guide for any woman (or guy) to have when thinking about starting their own business online or brick and mortar. The book covers everything from the moment you start “dreaming” about your business idea to the  feasibility of your dreams. Chapters cover areas like networking, marketing and other business stuff that you need to know before you get started.

It might not seem that important, but I love the fact that this book fits into my laptop bag or purse which means I was able to read it whilst having a coffee (the only 5 mins I can grab some days).

It’s easy to read with sections for writing down your own thoughts and reflections on each chapter so you don’t have to try and remember what you thought or felt.

This book is not going to make your a millionaire but it is certainly going to provide you with the tools that you will need to get your dreams to reality which as most business women know, its one of the hardest stages to conquer.

Hanukkah Unit Studies for Kids

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
