Belinda George, 42, a principal (校長) at Homer Drive Elementary in Beaumont, Southeast Texas, opens Facebook live on her phone at 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday. As she reads a children's book in her living room, anyone who goes to the school's Facebook page can watch live. Each Tuesday she wears a pair of nightclothes and reads to her students herself, which soon gets a lot attention. As she reads, everyone watches carefully. After watching Belinda and listening to her energetic voice, students will come up to her and share their favorite part and ask where they can find the book in the school library. Since Belinda has gotten some media attention, parents and children from across the country also join in.

Many parents watch along with students. It's also interactive because Belinda asks questions as she reads full of passion. Since she became principal this school year, students have read more and written better. "We've already seen progress," she said, "I have deep understanding of growing up in a poor family. I understand some of these kids will never go to college, but I want them to feel like they are successful. Whatever you choose, just good at it. You are a cleaner, be the best cleaner there is." She doesn't want to let her students down if they don't end up attending college. "If children feel loved, they will try their best."

You may have wondered why there are fish tanks (at many doctor's and dentist's offices.Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful with the help of fish tanks.Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡聲) from the fish tanks,their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there.

The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed.For this reason,places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind.Even a small tabletop fountain (噴泉) can make a workspace more relaxing.Unlike loud noises,repeated natural sounds remind us that everything is OK." These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,"said Orfeu Buxton,a professor at Pennsylvania State University." It seems like they are saying,' Don't worry ;don't worry ;don't worry."

Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space,a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside.I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace.I enjoy the fountain even when I'm not working at home.

If you want to have an indoor fountain too,there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale,which may cost you a lot.You can try making one yourself,using some inexpensive materials,like I did.And you will always keep it around ---- 1,000 doctor's offices can't be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water.
