Reflections How to Show a Documents Reading Level in Word!
Before I write up todays technology Tuesday post, I want to take a moment to reflect on life in general. As many of you know, I lost my Grandma Vicky less than two weeks ago. I spent a lot of time reflecting on our time together and I can truly say that I was fortunate to have such a loving grandmother who was and is such an important part of my life.
I truly miss her more than words can say.
A week after finding out that my Grandma passed, I found out that my ex-boyfriend had passed as well. He was only 25. Though he and I grew apart and havent spoken for years, I truly wished only the best for him. He was my first "love" and he has always had a special place in my heart. As much as I was left speechless by my Grandmas death, I am having just as hard of a time finding the words to express my deepest sympathies and regrets for his death as well.
I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, but I can never find or explain the reasons why we have to lose the ones we love. It truly breaks your heart and makes you question the world. Ive honestly felt like nothing has been going right lately. As hard as it is, I keep reminding myself of something my mom told me once:
As hard as it is to cope with lose and to cope with change, I know I am fortunate for the relationships that I have had and that there are so many more who are going through worse. As hard as things are to cope with or manage, we somehow need to put one foot in front of the other and try to move on. To the same idea, I found this other quote on pinterest and I really like it:
The past week and a half, I have spent a good amount of time crying and a lot of time reminiscing. Fortunately Im surrounded by supportive family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and followers who have put up with my distance and my ramblings. So for now, my rambling will cease for the time being and Ill put one foot in front of the other. Perhaps getting myself back on track with my blog and my life will help ease the pain.
This two week long poll had a lot of votes, and the winner was the most recent addition to the poll... how to find out a Microsoft Word documents reading level. This tutorial is actually SUPER EASY!!!
Here are the official poll results...
And here is the incredibly easy tutorial!!!
As for next weeks poll, Ill be adding a blogger tutorial: how to host a linky party!

How to Print Anything at a Smaller Size!
I absolutely love this little trick! Im not even joking when I say I use it at least three times a week! Every time I make/buy a new center game, I use this trick to print the cover page smaller so that it will fit in a quart size ziploc bag. And... I use it to make visuals slightly smaller so that they fit better on my walls! It is definitely one of my favorite tricks!
So... time to show you how to print anything at a smaller size!
Before I go into the poll and the tutorial, do you see the ADORABLE product in my preview? Well... its fabulous and its free from The Primary Gal! Shes relatively new to blogging and TPT so head over there and give her some love!
Now, for the poll! This was clearly the winner but the other options were definitely contenders!
And of course, heres the tutorial! Step 1 mentions that its easiest to do this with a PDF, so if youre not sure how to make a PDF, be sure to check out my previous tutorial below!
The steps are slightly different on Mac and PC so I did two separate write ups!
As for next weeks poll, Im going to add how to make a customized search so that it only searches specific websites... this is perfect for research projects!

Get Your Kids To Write Their Name on Their Work!
Im starting to go through my plans for the beginning of the year and I found a bunch of things that I want to add to my blog... and many of them Ill be adding as freebies! Soo... heres the first freebie!
Years ago I learned the first verse of this song from a preschool teacher at my previous job. So, my first year teaching Kindergarten, I obviously used it a LOT with my kiddos.
I was absolutely amazed when my students added new verses to the song! Thats right... my students wrote the second and third verses of this song! I absolutely love how creative they were and I use all three verses with my students nowadays!
I added this file to TPT as a PowerPoint file so you can insert your own name into it, and I even embedded the font into the document so it should load up on your computer perfectly. I havent actually done the embedding before so I hope it works!
Click the picture below to download the song!
How do you get your kiddos to remember to write their names on their paper?

How To Prepare for GATE Examination
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) opens the ways to opportunities in higher education. Today as many Public sector undertakings (PSU) considering GATE score for recruitment, the number of applicants has increased. The recruitment process of PSUs like BHEL, NTPC, IOCL, Powergrid for Executive Trainees and Management Trainees is based on the GATE score of applicant. So getting a good score has become a great challenge to Engineers.
GATE is considered as one of the toughest entrance exams of the country. To excel in the exam, you need to prepare well and your basics of engineering should be very clear. You will be asked many questions on basic concepts of
engineering and innovations.
To get high percentile in GATE one has to prepare thoroughly by understanding the basic concepts of GATE exam.The syllabus of the exam will remain same. Here are some useful tips to prepare for GATE.
The three-hour GATE paper will have a total of 65 questions carrying 100 marks. Engineering subjects, where the fundamentals are tested, enjoy 70 per cent weight-age. GATE Engineering subjects Question types would fall into three broad categories – memory, application of knowledge and conceptual understanding. These include two pairs of common data questions and two pairs of linked questions. There is negative marking for wrong answers. General Aptitude plays a significant role in maximizing the score, with as much as 15 per cent weight-age. Engineering mathematics also enjoys a weight-age of 15 per cent in GATE Exam.
I’ll recommend following while preparing for your GATE exams :

I’ll recommend following while preparing for your GATE exams :
- Make your handwritten notes. It takes some time but helps you a lot.
- Always follow standard books to cover your syllabus.
- Whenever you cover any subject, make some summarized notes. it will help while revising the syllabus at exam time.
- Dont cram unusually. Grasp the concepts and fundamentals. Do remember that GATE paper focus on your in depth knowledge of subject, your basics, your concepts etc.
- Prepare for quality questions. It is really important to solve the tricky questions. Rather than solving simple questions and wasting your time, it is better that you spend more time on solving concept based questions.
- Solve previous years papers and mock test papers
- Group study is one of the best ways of preparation. Divide sections/topics between you and your partner and have a brief session on topic from your friend before you actually start topic. This will save your time and efforts and will improve your and your partner’s understanding on the topic.
