The History of Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2023 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Happy Valentine's Day! While I enjoy this day, the historian in me is curious as to how this day came about. I hope I'm not the only one, so I want to give you the history of Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day has a couple different origin stories. Like a number of many other days, it … Continue reading The History of Valentine’s Day

A New Year, but How “New” are You?

January 3, 2023January 3, 2023 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Happy 2023! I hope you had a good holiday (whatever you celebrate), and your New Year's celebration was everything you wanted! It's that time of year where everyone sets goals for themselves and "resolutions." (I say every year how much I don't like that word). Resolutions are "I resolve to do this," but to me, … Continue reading A New Year, but How “New” are You?

Closing out the Year

December 20, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

It's the last day of school for my students. It's also the last post I'm going to make for the year. I'm closing out the year on two different fronts. From a professional standpoint, I've done a lot of growth. I attended a teaching conference this year. I'm implementing some new policies and procedures. I'm … Continue reading Closing out the Year

Practicing Gratefulness

November 22, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

This week in the United States is Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's a great time to spend with loved ones. One of my favorite traditions is talking about what everyone around the table is thankful for. But even though Thanksgiving may only be one day, you can practice this idea all … Continue reading Practicing Gratefulness

A History of Voting in the United States

November 8, 2022November 8, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

It's Election Day here in the United States! It falls on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Well, maybe you've wondered WHY that date. Or maybe you've been curious about who has and how they got the right to vote. Fear not! I have the answers to those questions. Why is Election … Continue reading A History of Voting in the United States

The History of Father’s Day

June 21, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / 1 Comment

Sunday was a couple of different holidays here in the United States, but one of them was Father's Day. I did a history of Mother's Day post a few years ago (May 2019 to be specific), but I've never done a Father's Day history post. It's time that we change that! So Father's Day actually … Continue reading The History of Father’s Day

The History of Memorial Day

May 31, 2022May 31, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I haven't done a history lesson in a while, so I figured we're overdue. Yesterday was Memorial Day here in the United States. Most people I know treat it as a free 3-day weekend. Others think of it as the unofficial start of summer. And others still think of it as a way to honor … Continue reading The History of Memorial Day

Reset

February 1, 2022February 1, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / 2 Comments

It is so crazy to me that we're already a month into 2022. I feel like January normally takes forever to get through. But this year, it feels like it has flown by. I know, for me at least, that this year is already starting out full of chaos. There's been a lot going on … Continue reading Reset

A Year of Maintenance

January 4, 2022 / battlekimoftherepublic / 1 Comment

Happy 2022! I took a couple of weeks off because I had a lot going on and needed to take care of other things. So unfortunately the blog got pushed to the side. But now it's the new year and I'm back! I feel like I mention every year how much I don't like resolutions. … Continue reading A Year of Maintenance

Spoons

November 30, 2021November 30, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

It's been a busy couple of weeks. So much so that I haven't had time or I've forgotten to write. But I'm back now! And today I want to talk about spoons. Yes you read that correctly. Spoons are important. The Spoon Theory is a pretty common one in the circles of illness and disability. … Continue reading Spoons
