The document discusses the 1917 October Revolution in Russia and its catastrophic consequences. It summarizes that the revolution ended Russia's imperial era and established a brutal communist regime led by the Bolsheviks. This regime systematically destroyed Russia's culture and honor through 70 years of totalitarian rule under Stalin and the KGB. While reforms were introduced under Khrushchev, the damage to Russia was already immense. The document argues that restoring the Russian monarchy could help revive Russia's former glory and fill the emptiness left by the revolution. Reviving the Russian royal family would boost patriotism and support Putin's efforts to restore Russia's honor.

This document discusses hooped shelters, which are low-cost alternative housing structures for finishing hogs or gestating sows. Hooped shelters use arched metal frames covered with tarps to create greenhouse-like structures. They are designed to take advantage of hogs' natural behaviors by separating sleeping, dunging, and feeding areas. Deep bedding of organic materials like straw is used to control odors and manure runoff. Hooped shelters have both advantages and disadvantages compared to confinement facilities, such as lower costs but poorer feed efficiency in winter. Proper management of ventilation, bedding levels, and group sizes is important for successful use of hooped shelters.

Συγγραφή ομαδικού βιβλίου από τους μαθητές του 7ου Δ.Σ.Νίκαιας με δημιουργική γραφή στα πλαίσια εορτασμού της Παγκόσμιας Ημέρας Παιδικού Βιβλίου 2019 (Α΄μέρος)
Είναι αλήθεια ότι μερικά πράγματα νομίζουμε ότι συμβαίνουν μόνο στα παραμύθια. Κι όμως,
η περιπέτεια του μικρού Πέτρου στην Ευρώπη, μέσα από τις σελίδες του βιβλίου που κρατάτε
στα χέρια σας, θα σας μεταφέρει μερικές από τις αρχές που οραματίστηκαν και σ’ ένα πολύ
μεγάλο βαθμό υλοποίησαν οι πρωτεργάτες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ιδέας: την ειρηνική συνύπαρξη, τη
συνεργασία, τη συναδελφικότητα για την επίτευξη του κοινού σκοπού. Το ταξίδι δεν είναι πάντα
εύκολο αλλά οι πρωταγωνιστές της ιστορίας μας, καθένας με την ιδιαιτερότητά του, με θάρρος
κι αποφασιστικότητα, οδηγώντας ένα ποδήλατο από ανακυκλωμένα υλικά συμμετέχουν στην
κοινή προσπάθεια κι αντιμετωπίζουν τις αναποδιές ζώντας ένα μοναδικό ταξίδι. Διασχίζουν
ποτάμια, βουνά, αιολικά πάρκα, δάση και θάλασσες, γνωρίζουν πριγκίπισσες, φάλαινες, έλατα
και δεινοσαύρους μέχρι να καταφέρουν το στόχο τους. Η ιστορία της Ευρώπης τα τελευταία 50
και κάτι χρόνια είναι κάπως ανάλογη. Δυσκολίες, εμπόδια, διαφορές αλλά κι επιμονή κι υπομονή
για την ολοκλήρωση κι επίτευξη μιας ενωμένης Ευρώπης χωρίς σύνορα. Κι η προσπάθεια αυτή
δεν έχει τελειώσει ακόμα μα συνεχίζεται ˙ αλλά αυτό, όπως θα’ λεγε κι ο Πέτρος “ είναι μια άλλη
ιστορία”.

3. Σε μια όμορφη οικογένεια μεγαλώνει η
μικρή Άννα η βασική ηρωίδα της ιστορίας
μας, με τους γονείς της, τη γιαγιά της και
την Αγγελική. Στην Άννα αρέσουν οι
αληθινές ιστορίες με αληθινούς
ανθρώπους, που ζούσαν σε αληθινά μέρη,
αληθινές ζωές. Ζητάει από όλους να της
διηγούνται ιστορίες, γιατί το μόνο που δεν
της αρέσει είναι να τις διαβάζει μόνη της.
4. Όσο μεγαλώνει όμως, οι μεγάλοι την
προτρέπουν να αρχίσει να διαβάζει μόνη
της και η Άννα κατσουφιάζει. Οι λέξεις που
είναι γραμμένες της φαίνονται δύσκολες
και στρυφνές.
5.
6. Τότε μια απρόσκλητη επισκέπτρια,
έρχεται για να τη βοηθήσει. Ένα αστείο
κοριτσάκι, με κόκκινα κοντά μαλλιά,
γυριστή μυτούλα και φακίδες στα μάγουλα
κάθεται στο παράθυρο, είναι η
πριγκίπισσα των λέξεων ……
Άραγε η πριγκίπισσα των λέξεων μαζί
με τον πρίγκιπα των τόνων και την
πριγκίπισσα της ορθογραφίας θα
καταφέρουν να πείσουν την Άννα για την
ομορφιά της γραπτής έκφρασης; Θα την
βοηθήσουν να καταλάβει τα παιχνίδια των
λέξεων;
7.
8. Το βιβλίο που διάβασα μου άρεσε πολύ
γιατί μέσα από τη φανταστική ιστορία του,
κατάλαβα την σημασία και την αξία του
λόγου. Μέσα από το παιχνίδι κατάλαβα τη
σημασία του τόνου, της ορθογραφίας και
του αναγραμματισμού στη γραπτή
έκφραση. Το βαθμολογώ με 10 και
πιστεύω πως πρέπει να το διαβάσεις
οπωσδήποτε. Επίσης μου άρεσαν πολύ οι
δραστηριότητες στο τέλος του βιβλίου.
