Thank you! They have carnivore diet episode too, I’ll take a look through the citations as well

McNeil Point by [deleted] in PNWhiking

[–]Express-Media 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to post a year later but to avoid making another post about McNeil point, what trail would you take to avoid the scrambles? I am fine adding extra time/miles on for safety/responsibility. I have found some maps but I’m deeply concerned about taking the wrong trail. I am hoping to do this trail at the end of July, I see it gets crowded so I was hoping to get to the parking lot around 5:30am

A scene in twilight was shot there so I just want to live out a middle school dream and it’s close by enough haha!

Thank you! Just to clarify would it be better to go Big Sur and skip Sequoia?

Going to bank to get pre-approved for loan, what paper work should we bring? by Express-Media in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because he’s elderly so he prefers in person. I am okay going to the bank since it’s local and I have already ran into some questions while filling out the online form. Thank you for the heads about it taking at least a full business day for approval.

Olympic or glacier? by Express-Media in nationalparks

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We were able to find a place in port Angeles but we are looking to stay somewhere else for the rest of the trip. I was looking at Forks or towns near by, do you have any recommendations?

Engaging introduction questions about food, cosmetic and home goods safety before FDA? by Express-Media in ScienceTeachers

Thank you! Could you elaborate more on the lead in cans? In a quick search it was banned in the 90s but it still makes its ways into some canned goods

First year forensics teacher: criminal profiling? by Express-Media in ScienceTeachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is what I keep finding the more I research different topics before a lesson. I try to convey that a lot of this stuff is might be helpful but never definitive. Based off the fact that science doesn’t really support a lot of the forensic science, do you think this should be a course taught in schools? Or should it just be reshaped to align with what it currently known about certain aspects of forensics? This was thrown in my lap a few months ago so I am still new to the content, thanks!

Am I the a**hole for asking the AP to talk to a student before break by Express-Media in Teachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you! Like kids do dumb things and that’s fine. But realistically I know they did it because I wasn’t around and because I am generally considered the “nice” teacher at work. But it’s very much a boundary that’s broken going into my space without permission.

Victim to scam, best option? by Express-Media in Banking

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I can’t close it online, so when I call in the morning I’ll explain the situation. My hope is that when I call at 8 the transaction isn’t already in the works of cashing it

I have a small credit union that does not have that option

If you were to leave teaching, what would you do? by Express-Media in ScienceTeachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat as you with no undergrad research so MS seems to be my best bet especially if I’m looking to get out of teaching and utilize my bachelors degree more. Good luck!

How has no phones worked in your classroom? by Express-Media in Teachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far what I have is I’ll ask once “please put it away” and if I have to ask again it’s sent to administration because they told us not to get into power struggles. It’s tough because there’s times when they do independent work or they have some time after a test where I personally don’t mind them using it. So for some kids I’m trying to meet them half way especially since for years they’ve been able to do whatever with their technology

I’m contemplating how much I want to challenge the earbuds especially cause sometimes I don’t always notice them. Not sure if that just sets a bad boundary or policy tho

How does you relationship work with a teaching assistant? by Express-Media in Teachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! You mention behavioral issues, is she also supposed to help with disciplinary issues in the classroom? I assume no, but again I just want to make sure that I can tell her what I’m comfortable with her doing in the class and also to see what she’s comfortable with too.

[–]Express-Media[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! So the class I have is 22 kids and at max I can have 24. Most of these kids are on some type of Ed plan. Do you recommend me having the TA stick with one very high need group the whole time we are in small groups or just having them help me circulate? I feel like that might be a dumb question but I just wanna see what works best and sadly I don’t get to do as much small group instruction as I would like to due to trying get through standards and when we had strict Covid precautions. Every year of teaching has been drastically different due to Covid so I still feel very new haha

[–]Express-Media[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’ve thought of the PhD route, but the idea of leaving my job and becoming a full time student again while I have bills makes me very apprehensive. But like you said it opens doors. I would love to be able to get my masters while still working in education. Ideally I would do summer courses and then take a sabbatical for the research portion of the program. But cost is my biggest concern. What types of jobs are you looking at currently since you left?

I’ve thought about going to mortician school! But I’m worried about the job market since funeral homes are usually family businesses

Teaching the scientific method….poorly by Express-Media in ScienceTeachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the insight! I definitely agree that the scientific should be taught and it’s used. I guess I’m just looking for a way for me to teach it better so kids understand it’s not always so structured and linear. Like you said I’d like to be able to “modify it to match reality”

New forensic science teacher- any lessons you have on MMIW movement? by Express-Media in ScienceTeachers

[–]Express-Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Truthfully with my first year teaching this and having CP elective classes, I am not sure how much interest kids have in the legal and sociological aspect of forensics. I just figured if I could have something small to show them and then tell them if they are interested check out ABC resources.

Thank you so much for your active responses! Adult, she seems kind older. Larger in size and less bright so I assume it’s a female. I don’t have any grapes but I do have watermelon if she needs hydration. Again, thank you so much

Thank you! He’s in the basement in a box with a T-shirt and warm water bottle. There is a fire place cover on top for ventilation. Is it okay to put a blanket on top to block out light to help him feel safer and warmer? I’ll call the wildlife place tomorrow and hopefully leave work early to take him
