Cross-Posting to the Special Needs board and the Chat Board. Does anyone know an app that works well for students to organize. It might include calendar reminders, time reminders...other stuff?

Onwards and upwards! Congratulations!

Even if this isn’t permanently effective, I think this was a good choice. Twin 2 sees that your husband took the things with sadness and regrets, not vengeance. He expressed his sadness and at least spoke with empathy for you sadness. ((Hugs))

I’m sorry 3bears. Hope he sleeping now.

They seem to work well. This is the first time since Covid appeared that I tested positive Been testing every couple days and the line is fainter. My kids both tested positive, my son still is. Floflex is the one we’re using. My mom used them and tested negative several times.

Congratulations Dawn!

Anyone try this yet?

504s offer accommodations; such as: Providing emotional support Encourage the student to use self-calming or anxiety-reducing techniques that were taught by a counselor or therapist. Allow the student to have a self-calming object or family pictures on hand. Build in “call home” breaks (for students with separation anxiety). Let the student seek help from a designated staff member with mental health expertise when feeling anxious. Classroom setup, schedules, and routines Provide classroom seating where the student is most comfortable (near a door, near the front of the room, near the teacher or a friend). Let the student sit near the back of the room or by an exit during assemblies. Assign the student a designated buddy for lunchtime, recess, and/or hallways. Allow preferential grouping for field trips so the student is with a teacher or friends. Provide a “take a break pass” to let the student walk down the hallway, get a drink, or leave the classroom when needed. Create a plan for catching up after an absence or illness (for example, excusing missed homework or having a known time frame for making up work). Give advance notice of planned substitute teachers or other changes in routine. Give the student notice and extra time before upcoming transitions, like before recess and lunch, and rehearse transitions in a private or low-stress environment. Giving instructions and assignments Clearly state and/or write down classroom expectations and consequences. Break down assignments into smaller chunks. Check in frequently for understanding and “emotional temperature.” Provide a signal before calling on the student and a signal for the student to opt out of answering. Offer written instructions in addition to spoken directions. Exempt the student from reading aloud or demonstrating work in front of the class. Let the student present projects to the teacher instead of to the entire class. Introducing new concepts/lessons Give extended time on tests and/or separate test-taking space to reduce performance anxiety. Allow use of word banks, cheat sheets, or fact cards for tests (for students who freeze or “go blank” during in-class tests). Set time limits for homework or reduce the amount of homework. Assure that work not completed in that time won’t count against the student. Provide class notes via email or a school portal for the student to preview. Give notice of upcoming tests (no “pop quizzes”).

Forgot about this article from WTM https://support.welltrainedmind.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047075714-Timelines-Where-can-I-buy-or-how-can-I-make-a-timeline-

I wanted to have a timeline that I separated by continents rather than by geography/art/war, etc. I found one that looks like this: https://researchparent.com/wp-content/uploads/World_History_Timeline_by_Region.pdf It's closer to what I want.

Would you share your cucumber salad recipe please, @TechWife

Thanks Spyte will look into that. My daughter is now sobbing because she can’t sleep with me tonight. Ooh. My heart

Well, just tested positive for Covid. Fever is the main symptom. Lovely timing. My son’s birthday is tomorrow and my kids both have hard to get into appointments next week. Anyone ask for Paxlovid straightaway? Or just wait if symptoms aren’t too bad

took me a few times reviewing past info. SIL is related to your FIL and Pop, so she will be there all the time? I was thinking it was BIL related to FIL and Pop. Sorry, it sounds like your FIL is going to have hands full with both of his adult children having mental health crises. But definitely invite them over. Maybe wait for awhile before trying to move? SiL might decide she needs to leave the area too.

70/100. One error, one I should have known, and the Pennsylvania spelling threw me .

Hope for healing for your husband and peace for you

I think you do what works best for you. I use to offer make-ups, but now I don’t. Kids schedules are so busy and I have so many clients that I would regularly be losing out on several hundred dollars a month. Not offering refunds for missed times mean that parents will respect the schedule more. I do usually offer one no-show a year, but after that I charge my usual rate. However, I do have clients I’ve had five and even 10 years and if I know it’s a family emergency then I usually don’t charge for that either.

I am glad they are focusing on the issue, but it’s probably pretty scary to have them throw various theories out. Sending warm hugs to you with the hope for direction from your doctors and healing for you.

I am so, so sorry KungFuPanda.

So sorry threebears. Hope he sleeps tonight.

Congrats on the speech engagement and the decision!

That’s a relief!

Continuing to send hope for healing soon Melissa

Thinking of you Melissa

I have to say as an introvert, it sounds a bit much. That’s around 50 to 75 bikes at a time and sometimes they even start to dance. Or there’s dance like sessions. My brother really does enjoy the competitive aspect of it and it does sound like everyone there is welcoming. 😊
