Criss-Cross Applesauce

My summer internship with the University of Massachusetts Extension
Nutrition Education Program has enlightened me on a variety of topics
since its June 1 start.

After
teaching in several kindergarten classrooms in Lynn, Massachusetts, I
picked up on something I was never taught nor heard of growing up. "Criss-cross applesauce."

This
21st century, politically correct version of sitting "Indian style" is
a popular tool used by teachers at the elementary school level to get
their students to sit and be quiet.

Thinklings blogger, Philip posted similar sentiments regarding "Criss-cross applesauce" in an August 2006 post. Check out the article, Criss-Cross Applesauce and the comments that follow.

What do you think about "Criss-cross applesauce give a little clap. Criss-cross applesauce hands in your lap. Criss-cross applesauce quiet as can be. Criss-cross applesauce eyes on me?"

Bada Bing, Bada BOOM!

The Sopranos' slices its last piece of prosciutto this Sunday on television's HBO and viewers still remain in the dark regarding Tony Sopranos' fate and the rest of his gangs.

Although, Office Pools are commonly used during college basketball's March Madness, GraphPaper.com created a pool of their own. Instead of predicting which team will make it to the final four, GraphPaper.com allows you to predict the fate of your favorite Sopranos' characters. You decide if A.J. Soprano dies, gets arrested, kills someone else or if Paulie Walnuts prospers, leaves or quits.

The long awaited Sopranos series finale is now in your hands. Choose wisely or be wary of the "lead belly."
