goodbye/fun facts....National Preschool Teachers Appreciation Day. They teach students that are between the ages of three and five. A preschool is also known as a nursery school, pre-primary school, or playschool. It is an establishment that offers early childhood education to children before they have to start compulsory primary schooling. Frenchman Johann Friedrich Oberlin is credited with the introduction of early childhood education. Parents who were working in the fields needed childcare and Oberlin provided this by creating an infant school in 1767. His idea spread to many other cities in Europe and by 1852 'Kindergartens’ meaning child garden in german are founded in leading cities in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and eventually the United States.

goodbye/fun facts....On March 14th, National Learn About Butterflies Day encourages us to look for a blur of color as butterflies begin migrating across the country. There are more than 20,000 types of butterflies worldwide. Butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year, depending on the species. Like bees, bats and other pollinators, butterflies make the difference between valuable fruits and vegetables on our tables. the monarch butterfly and the honey bee have seen a decline in their populations. We can help them by planting more flowers. you can watch a documentary about butterflies called Wings of Life narrated by Meryl Streep.

goodbye/fun facts....National Good Samaritan Day recognizes the unselfish actions of those who provide help when needed. The term "good Samaritan" comes from the Bible parable where a Samaritan helped a stranger who had been robbed and beaten and left to die by the side of the road. The Samaritan not only cleaned the man's wounds and clothed him but took him to an inn where he paid for the man's care. March 13th was chosen because on March 13, 1964,...Catherine “Kitty” Genovese was murdered near her home in New York City. Something interrupted her killer twice that night...and if just one Good Samaritan had stepped forward, Miss Genovese would have lived.

goodbye/fun facts....Telecommuter Appreciation Week...you know...employees who work from home (or anywhere their heart desires) and usually use email and videoconferencing as ways of delivering their work...you probably didn't hear about telecommuting until about 4 years ago....but a man named Jack Nilles first coined the term ‘telecommuting’ in 1972. At the time, Nilles was working remotely on a complicated communication system for NASA. Unable to find an existing word to describe his job, he told people that he was telecommuting. This led to the birth of the term. one good thing about it...Research has shown that unscheduled absences are reduced by up to 63% per year if staff members work remotely.
