Left from Seattle because one of the families traveling with us lives in Seattle and it made it easier for all of...

    Homework for elementary age kids over Christmas break

    I teach in a very high achieving public school system. Our superintendent does not allow homework or projects to be assigned over vacations or during days off for Jewish holidays. Also, he asks that tests not be given immediately following a vacation. This is a district-wide policy that has...

    Walmart 1hr guarantee for Beats substitution vent

    OP here, thank you for all of your thoughts. I understand that Walmart offered an upgraded product and I should be thrilled, but when someone asks for a specific gift, I try to get exactly what they ask for, if possible. I don't know if my niece and nephew asked for the Solos since the price...

    Who Uses Envision Math?

    Adenoids and nose surgery recovery and food?

    My son had adenoids removed and ear tubes when he was 8. The doctor said he would need to miss 2-3 days of school. He had the surgery on a Thursday morning. We were home by that afternoon and he was completely fine...no pain, very minimal discomfort (if any--can't remember since this was 4...

    Multiplication Hints?

    Another idea is to break apart the factors into ones she already knows. For example if she needs to learn 7 X 8...she can break the 7 in to a 5 and a 2. So she thinks...5 x 8 = 40 and then 2 x 8 = 16 and 40 + 16 = 56, therefore 7 x 8 =56. This works well for 6's (think 5 X ? and 1 x ?) For...

    Has anyone experienced problems with Siri since updating to iOS7? I have a 4S iphone.

    I agree with some previous posters, about the possibility of Lyme disease. I ended up with a very swollen and painful elbow and knee on the left side of my body. It lasted for a week until a very large bulls-eye showed up (although in many people the bulls-eye never appears). I ended up being...

    Need ideas for a "goodbye" project for a retiring (dying) teacher...

    I have been an elementary teacher for 19 years. I love the idea of contacting former students to write notes or make videos. I always wonder how my previous students are doing and what's become of them. I think she would enjoy hearing the impact she had on the lives of so many people. A...
