Suffragette: Hope For Our Daughters

The #19daysofsuffrage campaign continues with a message of Hope. This week marks an important day for US citizens, Veteran’s Day. It is a day where we honor those who have fought, died and are fighting in the military for the freedoms that we have and to ensure our freedoms remain. Veteran’s Day reminds every US citizen that we would not be where we are today without our Military Heroes. We thank them and their service, their sacrifices, and their strength.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is important to also note that our freedoms were also fought within our country; women throughout the years have fought for equal rights. Women have fought and suffered to show that they (we) are equal to men. We have come a long way, but we still have so far to go.

Read the following statements and decide whether you think these facts were true in 1915 or in 2015. Then watch the video, #HopeForOurDaughters Special Video, to find out if you were correct.

75 million girls are Child Laborers \|
1915	2015
\| Women make up 70% of the population living on less than a dollar a day \|
1915	2015
\| 62 million girls don’t get to go to school \|
1915	2015
\| 2 out of ever 3 people who can’t read or write are women \|
1915	2015
\| Child birth is the second leading cause of death with girls between ages 15 and 19 \|
1915	2015
\| Every Day 39,000 girls are forced to marry before they turn 18 \|
1915	2015
\| Women get paid less than men for the same work \|
1915	2015

#HopeForOurDaughters Special Video

How many did you get right? Were you shocked to find out the truth? Even though we have come so far, the Fight is not over (#Fightsnotover). But there is Hope. Take this opportunity and share the image with the Hashtag #HopeForOurDaughters. For every post with that hashtage, Focus Features will donate $1.00 to Equality Now. Now that is worth a share!

Be sure to share your thoughts on what it means to be a woman in our Suffragette: The 19 Days of Suffrage Giveaway. You could win a beautiful Suffragette Promotional Pack featuring a tote bag, bracelet, journal and mini poster.

You can also download our free Suffragette Study guide to provide a little background information about the women’s movement for equality.

To all the Veterans out there, Thank you for your Service!

Free Fun Party Popples Printables and Activities

Join Bubbles, Sunny, Lulu, Izzy, and Yikes in all new adventures that are always a pop, skip and a jump away now on Netflix! These Best Popple Pals (BPP) are always wanting to help their friends, neighbors, and each other. Their efforts, however, oftentimes backfire in hilarious ways. For example, Lulu makes an invention that is supposed to turn the treepod into a smart house, but once it is hooked up, it turns the treepod into a category 5 death trap. The Popples then spend the rest of episode trying to unwind the mayhem the invention has caused. Luckily, for Bubbles, Sunny, Lulu, Izzy, and Yikes, they always manage to save the day, from whatever disaster they have created, in their own POP-tastic way!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this moment there are five two-part episodes featuring the BPP’s and their adventures. The episodes are as follows:

Smart House Arrest/Sunny Loses Her Pop

Oops! Lulu’s science fair invention locks the pals inside the Treepod; Friends try everything to cure Sunny’s cold so she can play in the big game

It Doesn’t Take a Genius/Palentine’s Day

The whole town thinks Yikes is a genius after Lulu switches tests with him; Yikes and Mike Mine Face a big challenge on Palentine’s Day

Help-R Hinder/The Legend of Popfoot

Lulu’s robot goes haywire and tries to “help” everyone in town; Sunny tricks her friends into thinking a scary beast is headed for popplopolis

Win a Free Treehouse/Bubble’s Doubles

With their clubhouse at stake, the pals hunt for a lost treasure; Bubbles finds a way to be in two places at once, but her double makes trouble

Student Buddy President/The BFF App

Mike Mine tried to turn two pals against each other in the race for class president; Bubbles realizes a “Bff” app can’t replace friends

In honor of the Popples release on Netflix, Saban has released several printables featuring our favorite characters Bubbles, Sunny, Lulu, Izzy, and Yikes. Create 3D paper crafts of each popple, have fun completing the special friendship activity, match emotions, make a friendship pledge and more! All of these printables can be found on www.popples.com.

To celebrate this release, I have also taken the time to create a few printables of my own featuring the Popples! These printables are free but I also take donations. Any amounts help keep the hobby alive, so if you download the ones I created please consider donating. Thank You in advance.

Whisker Haven Free Printable Activities

Whisker Haven Tales header

Where do Princess Palace Pets go to relax and recuperate after a hard day of work and play? Take a peek into the world of Whisker Have for a few minutes and catch the palace pets in their new adventures. Whisker Haven is a safe place for the palace pets to relax and meet other palace pets. Here they are able to talk to each other, celebrate big events and make new friends!

Ms. Featherbon is the magical gatekeeper of Whisker Haven and guide to all the Palace Pets. Treasure, Petite, Sultan, Pumpkin, Dreamy, Berry, Lily, Bibbidy, and Sweetie are just a few that appear in the new animated series produced by Disney Junior. I hope the show will start to include some of the more unique palace pet characters such as Blossom, Gleam, or Taj.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each episode is around three minutes long, making them just long enough for the little ones (or adults) who may have short attention spans. There are 10 episodes as I write this. There could be more episodes later depending on the popularity of these shorts.

Episodes:

1. Welcome to Whisker Haven:

2. The Whisker Haven Night Knight Guard:

3. Throwing a Ball:

4. Cake-tillion:

5. Hat’s a Wrap!:

6. A Dreamy Birthday:

7. The Cookie Boogie!:

8. TuTu Terrific:

9. Harvest Haven:

10. Flying High Tea:

With such wonderful episodes, I thought it would be fun to include some printable activities featuring the characters of Whisker Haven Tales. The kids will love searching for Berry, matching the shadows, coloring their favorite Palace Pet, playing the Whisker Haven Memory Game or printing the stickers for art projects, books or crafts. Let’s be honest, we adults even get a kick out of these fun printables. The Word Search may be to advanced for some kids but I know some adults who may just spend five minutes to complete the puzzle to help clear the head after a long day.

All the printables below are free to download, simply click the images and save the PDF to your computer. If you download any of the printables, I do request you donate to SKGaleana. The printables do take time and effort to complete and any amount you can give will help support this blog and keep the printables coming. Thank you in advance!

Suffragette: The 19 Days of Suffrage Giveaway

When you take the time to vote this year, remember to take a moment and thank all the women who fought to give you the right to vote. It was not an easy battle. Those who fought for our right to vote lost so much. Equality was an alien term for the leaders during that time and sparked fear in those who could not handle change. As such, these Suffragettes were made to look crazy, never allowed to see their kids, had to hide from the law, lost their jobs and some even lost their lives. Yet, the women continued to fight, never giving into the popular archaic thoughts that infected the lives of society. The women looked to the future, to hope of equality.

In recognition of their fight, Focus Features took this momentous event in history and created a film, inspired by true events, called Suffragette. This heart-breaking and inspirational drama focuses on the real foot soldiers of the Suffragette movement and how they turned to violence as the only route to change. They were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality – their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This month, Focus Features wants to honor the 19th Amendment, which granted women in the United States the right to vote in 1919. with the campaign, “19 Days of Suffrage” (#19daysofsuffrage). Today is Day 2 of the “19 Days of Suffrage.”

I invite you to share posts on twitter, facebook, Instagram or whatever social media platform you prefer, regarding the theme featured each week for the “19 Days of Suffrage.” This is a great opportunity to remember the heroines in your life, the people who inspired you and what you are most thankful for.

Each Week’s theme:

Week of 11/2: Post about the first time you voted
Week of 11/9: Talk about the heroines in your family that serve or have served in the Military.
Week of 11/16: Who in your life inspired you?
Week of 11/23: What are you most Thankful For and what still needs to be fought for? #fightsnotover

In honor of the movie Suffragette and the “19 Days of Suffrage,” I have a very special promotional pack to giveaway to one lucky winner. The promotional pack features a Suffragette tote bag, a Suffragette charm bracelet, a mini poster and a journal. The contest starts Nov. 3, 2015 and ends Nov. 23, 2015 at 11:59 pm PST. For a chance to win this amazing package, take a moment and comment below by answering one or more of the following questions:

What Does It Mean to be a Suffragette

Today is the first day of the “19 Days of Suffrage,” (#19DaysofSuffrage) to celebrate the powerful film Suffragette, as it releases in theaters nationwide through Thanksgiving. These 19 Days are in honor of the 19th Amendment, which granted women in the United States the right to vote in 1919. Imagine if these women had not taken the stand to give all of us women equal rights.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you go about your day today, think about the movement for equality. Tomorrow may seem like just another election day, but in reality, those who fought for women’s right would find tomorrow empowering. Watch the special clip below about how things have change from Then to Now.

Now that you have seen the comparison of women’s rights from then to now, share the badge below with a post about what you think it means to be a Suffragette and how this movement affected your life. Pin it, Tweet it, share it, Instagram it and get the word out that you have joined the “19 Days of Suffrage.”

For a little background information here is an Educational Study Guide with facts about the women’s movement for equality. It features activities for:
“Created Equal” – Taking us back 100 years to where very few women were equal to men
“Deeds not Words” – About how women in Great Britain had to be forceful in their cause, which was much different than the tactics used in the United States.
“I am Suffragette” – What it means to be a Suffragette and the life-changing personal choices and risks it took to change the world.

Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Printable Resistance Kit

With the new season of Star Wars Rebels, Ezra, Zeb, Hera, Sabine, and Kanan have all new adventures aa they are suddenly hit with the realization that they may not be alone in their battle against the Empire. Old friends, new allies and Dark enemies all cameo in this new epic season. Darth Vader even makes an appearance as the Rebels make their fight more public.

I think the most exciting character that has enter the Rebels universe is Ahsoka Tano, who is now a part of the rebellion and dedicated to defeating the Empire. I loved her in Clone Wars and was very curious about her path as a Jedi. I am so glad they have continued her story.
