Q: You will need to make sure your oven is preheated before baking your turkey porcupine meatballs. Before turning on the oven, place the oven rack in the middle slot. Then turn the oven on to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. You will be baking the meatballs in a 2-quart (1900 mL) glass baking dish. If you don’t have a glass dish, you can you a metal baking dish instead. Grease the baking dish with a teaspoon of olive oil and set aside. Place the ground turkey, instant rice, onion, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and celery salt in a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup (120 mL) to the mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Once you have combined the meatball mixture, use your hands to shape it into meatballs. You will want to make each meatball about the same size as a golf ball. After you make each meatball, place it in the prepared baking dish. After you have shaped the meatballs and placed them in the prepared baking dish, add the tomato sauce, one cup (240 mL) water, and Worcestershire sauce to a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until combined. Pour the sauce over the meatballs. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Place the baking dish on the center rack of the oven. Bake the meatballs at 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius for 60 minutes. Remove from oven. Allow the meatballs to cool for at least five minutes. You can then serve the meatballs by themselves, over steamed white rice, or with a side of cauliflower. Enjoy!
A: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. Prepare a baking dish. Combine the meatball ingredients. Shape the meatballs. Mix the sauce ingredients. Bake the meatballs for one hour. Serve the meatballs.

Q: Some fans may come over for a pre-game show or a pre-game drink. You want to encourage early attendance when a game is televised live. Unless everyone is rooting for the same team, don’t be too aggressive. You should encourage friendly competition, not anger toward an opposing team. Encourage them to dress up or don a streamer as a scarf. A porch or another room will allow them to leave without interrupting the game for the fans. A foosball table, lawn soccer field or small foam soccer set will be popular with athletic or competitive friends. Keep spirits up when it’s not going well. You may find yourself in the role of the cheerleader as the host. Continue the celebration down at the pub or bar if you are exhausted from your hosting duties.
A: Get the décor and food ready at least an hour in advance. Don’t get too competitive. Ask the guests to get involved. Open up a place for non-fans to go that’s away from the TV. Set up another activity. Celebrate when the game is going well. Go for a celebratory drink.

Q: If you and your sister or sisters don’t live in the same city, National Sister’s Day is even more important! Talk to your sister before the holiday to make sure she knows that it’s coming, Try to set up a call or a video chat for the day.  Wish your sister Happy National Sister’s Day after you say hello. This will show your sister that it’s not just a regular phone call: you’re calling so that you both can celebrate your relationship together. Tell your sister that you love her and miss her. Try to keep the conversation positive and happy, but also honest. You do want to tell your sister what has been going on in your life, but don’t talk about sad subjects if they aren’t necessary. If you have more than one sister, figure out how to arrange a conference call or a group video chat. Since you and your sister can’t share the day together, buying or making a gift is a great way to bridge the gap between the two of you. Try to think of something that your sister would like to receive. Keep in mind that a smaller gift is easier to send through the mail.  Make sure to send your gift so it will arrive on or before the holiday. If you are worried that your sister will open the gift before the holiday, write a note on the front of the package that reminds her not to open it until National Sister’s Day. If you don’t want to send a gift through mail, you can also try to send something to your sister through the Internet. You can send your sister a gift certificate, share music tracks with her that she would like, or even write her a thoughtful email to send the day of. If you and your sister are both active on social media, make a post to celebrate National Sister’s Day. Your post could include a picture of the two of you and a few sentences about your special relationship. For instance, under your picture you could write something like, “Sophia, I’m so glad to have you in my life. Hope you’re having a great time in New York and Happy National Sister’s Day!” Enlist your sister’s friends to help you make the holiday extra special for her. You can ask her friends to decorate her room with National Sister’s Day decorations, or even plan something more creative like a scavenger hunt that leads to your present! Don’t wait until the last minute to ask her friends for help, and make sure that they’ll keep your plan a secret!
A: Plan a call on National Sister’s Day. Give your sister a gift. Make a post on social media. Plan a surprise with your sister’s friends.

Q: It is recommended that students are allowed at least one hour for writing each day. This hour can be split up in other content area classes too (science and social studies), but much of the time will be in language arts class. Stress the importance of writing by giving students time every day to write.  Time for writing can range from short journal prompts in the beginning of class, to time in class to work on longer assignments and projects. Time for writing can include free writing, or can be targeted for learning specific skills (handwriting, spelling, grammar). The most important part is that students are writing every day. Especially for longer assignments or projects, offer students choices for prompts. If the class is writing about a certain book, provide a number of prompts about different characters or plot points for them to choose from, or allow them to modify one of your prompts. Students will be more engaged with their writing and will want to produce good writing if they care about their topic. One of the best ways to teach spelling and grammar is to use student writing as examples. After students turn in a piece of writing, make notes to yourself about the most common mistakes that you see. Create a lesson based on correcting this type of mistake, and use the student writing as the examples in your direct instruction (students should remain anonymous of course; you can type the incorrect sentences out on your own document, pulling from several students’ examples). Share the examples and correct the mistakes together on the board or projector, discussing why the mistakes are mistakes. Modeling writing is a great way to increase student confidence in their own writing. You can draft shorter pieces of writing out loud in front of them, or write a longer piece similar to something they are working on and then share it with them. Students will enjoy hearing you share your writing and discussing it afterward. Students want to know about what others think of their writing. They need to know whether their writing is accurately and appropriately conveying its message. Teachers should provide oral and written feedback through comments and rubrics because this is an important part of the writing process for students. Students should also have the chance to peer review their classmates’ work. Creating a peer review sheet for students to fill out as they read a classmate’s work is a good way to keep them focused on what to look for during peer review sessions.
A:
Make daily time for writing. Create interesting, varied assignments. Teach authentic spelling and grammar lessons. Share your own writing. Provide opportunity to give and receive feedback.
