In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Students aren’t the only ones who get to pick out a back-to-school outfit—you want your first day outfit to express your personality while making you look professional and confident. Pick out an outfit you’ll be comfortable in, such as a summer dress with a sweater over it or linen slacks and a nice shirt.  Wear comfortable shoes that breathe, especially if the weather is still warm. Follow the school dress code for teachers, if applicable. You want your students to walk through the door, see the classroom, and feel excited about learning. Try to add some color to the room by hanging colorful posters on the wall or adding 1 or 2 vibrant rugs. Adding things like bean bag chairs or standing lamps creates a sense of comfort in the room as well.  You might choose a color scheme, such as turquoise and yellow, for your room and decorate the room with those colors. Add things like lights, colorful bins, educational posters, and window decorations. While your classroom should have color in it, don't overdo it—too much stimulation on the walls can affect a student's focus. You can do this individually with each student as they walk in the door, as well as in a whole-group setting once everyone is seated. Tell the class a little bit about yourself, staying positive and showing your excitement for the year.  Tell your students what they should call you, and write your name on the board so they learn how to spell it. Include exciting things you have planned for the class over the school year in your introduction to get the students excited about what’s to come. While it's important for your students to see you as an authority figure, you also want to create a connection with them as people. Tell your students a little bit about your life and what sort of things you like. By giving them a little information about yourself, your students will be more likely to open up to you.  Include things like where you’re from, what you did over the summer, and if you have any pets or favorite foods. Create a visual that shows your likes and dislikes, which could be an example of a get-to-know-your-class activity that each student makes as well. You can do this as a group by asking students to share things with the class such as their name, a fun thing they did over the summer, and what they’re looking forward to this year. Or, you might choose to make it a more private sharing of information, with the students filling out a questionnaire or making a piece of artwork about themselves. Consider playing a game that helps the students (and yourself!) learn each other's names. While some teachers may choose to be strict and serious, smiling creates a warm environment where your students feel comfortable coming to you. Have fun while teaching and give off positive vibes—if you smile, your students will be smiling too!  Portray positive body language by standing up straight, looking your students in the eyes, and smiling genuine smiles whenever possible. Smiling also projects a confidence and warmth that shows your students you're approachable. Your students will be able to tell if you feel nervous or uncomfortable while teaching. Try to let go of any uncertainties and relax so that you’re able to teach your students most effectively. Let your personality shine through and show your students how excited you are to teach them!
Summary: Dress professionally yet comfortably. Design your classroom to be bright and cheerful. Introduce yourself to the class. Make a personal connection with the students. Ask the students to share information about themselves. Smile often to encourage your students to have fun while learning. Be yourself!

The congkak board consists of two rows of seven holes called the houses and two bigger holes called the storehouse or home. Each player uses the side of the board that is closest to him or her. Each player starts the game with seven shells in his or her houses. The object of the Congkak is to move your shells into the storehouse that is situated on your left-hand side. You move your shells by picking up all of the shells in one of your houses and depositing one into each of the houses to the left of the space. The first person to empty all of his or her houses is the winner.  You may also put one shell into your storehouse, but do not put any shells into your opponent’s storehouse. If you drop a shell into an empty house that you own, then you get to take all of the shells from your opponent’s house that is across from your house and put them into your storehouse. Place the Congkak board on a level playing surface between you and your opponent.  You should each have 49 shells or Congkak seeds each. Before the game starts fill your seven houses with seven shells or Congkak seeds. Make sure that your opponent does the same.  Both of you should leave your storehouses empty. Take a moment to decide who will take the first turn. You can determine who will go first by flipping a coin, allowing the youngest player to go first, or letting the person who won the last game you played together go first.

One-sentence summary -- Familiarize yourself with the game board and pieces. Understand the object of the game. Set up the game. Decide who will go first.

Problem: Article: Think about how open you want to be about your upcoming surgery. Some people you really do need to tell, but generally it is up to you. There is no etiquette in cancer, and there are no social protocols for you to follow. Think carefully, and then do what's right for you. You do not have to go through this alone! Share your feelings and needs with those who make you feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You will need help after you get home from the hospital. Many health plans offer visiting nurse services to assist with changing your bandages, but they will not bathe you, cook, or do your laundry. Talk to people you are emotionally close to, and try to have someone stay with you while you recover. Share your thoughts and feelings with your partner, family, friends, therapist – people who are supportive and caring. Join a support group in your community or online, or consider seeing a therapist who specializes in cancer. You can find professionals in your area through the American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS) Helpline. Do stress-relieving activities before your surgery like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, taking walks – anything that helps you relax. Practice these skills now and continue them after your surgery. Practice mindfulness meditation on a daily basis. Get clearance from your doctor before doing anything physical like walking or yoga. Work on building up your strength and flexibility before surgery – this can help you feel stronger and more in control afterwards. For breast surgery, try to focus on your upper body and back. Feeling physically strong may help you recover better and feel emotionally strong, as well. Breast reconstruction surgery can make your breast feel and look more natural following your mastectomy. This procedure can be done during your mastectomy or in a separate surgery afterwards. Breast reconstruction may not be important to you, or it may be a big part of the healing process – everyone is different. Spend some time thinking about what feels important to you, and whether further surgery may help you feel more comfortable in your body.  Consider talking to a therapist and/or a plastic surgeon about your feelings and options. Every surgery has risks, including breast reconstruction; talk to your doctor for more information. Some organizations, such as AiRS Foundation, help women to afford breast reconstruction surgeries.
Summary:
Decide who to tell. Build a support network. Learn to decrease your stress. Do strengthening exercises before your surgery. Opt for or against breast reconstruction surgery.
