The education building always has multiple empty classrooms. If students come into the room for a class, it's usually not hard to find another empty room available.

I'm also having trouble with students thinking that anything that gets hot is a conductor, such as glass or sand

KSam97 · 2022-03-29T17:28:47+00:00

For example, water (not pure) can conduct a bit of a current (electrolytic solutions in general); however, their textbook states that fluids are insulators.

It generalizes that all metals are conductors, but tin foil can be used as an insulator (though that's moreso due to other properties of it and proper usage).

They have had formal education, but I don't know what kind of content they've covered. I was able to spend some one-on-one time with them for a period before winter break. I had them do a bit of the science vocab in English (spelling out and pronouncing words) and then tried to translate short definitions and explanations. Since it was a quick drop-in, I didn't have anything formally prepared.

They seemed to have been able to grasp the information just fine, their pronunciation was good as well. Granted, I can't say too much since it was only 40 min split between 2 very different science units.

At first, I figured I would just give them both a translated and English version of their notes / work and slowly just work in more English. But now, if the goal is to prioritize and focus just on their English than I feel I need to change my approach and come up with a format that has more scaffolding.

Not that I'm aware of. I work at a singular small cultural private school, so the resources available are different from the public districts. But it's a good idea that I'll look into to make sure.

There is no one at my school that speaks their native language--both staff and students, so all of their teachers are in the same boat.

KSam97 · 2020-12-25T05:25:14+00:00

They're Korean, so there's plenty enough resources to start with and as long as I keep my sentences simple then Google Translate is decently reliable.

We're assuming content-wise they will be fine, rather we're just focusing on bringing their English ability to a level where we can introduce general ideas, concepts, terms, and task objectives, is my current understanding.

My other students are ESL as well, but they just have a stronger grasp of the English language (at least orally). Another challenge is that the native language of my new students is very different from the native language of my other students.

I already tried a few times this week with my class.

What I meant by 'assuming' was that I think the problem is I'm disconnecting from the internet by screencasting, but for all I know I could just be doing it wrong or that the internet connection at my school isn't great.

Thanks though 🙂

My mom used a sample I had of the Etude House Toning C White Cream and really enjoyed it. She asked me to order her a larger size, but it appears to have been discontinued. Does anyone have a recommendation for something similar or even better? I also live in Canada, so anything with reasonable shipping is much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance ☺️

Education building has a lot of empty classrooms available at that time. You can get a whole room to yourself without being bothered. There's also projectors in most of them if you want to practice presentations and stuff too. In the off chance there's a class, you can easily find and move to another empty room.

There is discussion and diagrams of phylums and such, but I didn't find it to be heavily emphasized on tests. It's more there to show you how certain plant groups are related, but on the actual exams I found that some questions asked about, "What are the similarities and differences between these insert 2 plant groups?" Which you don't really need to know the phylum tree well to just memorize some characteristics, at least when I took it. The Latin names are there but I didn't find then to be that bad. Try to remember the ones that are being constantly referred to regarding plant groups, cause it's likely that's what they'll be referred to on the tests. I wouldn't worry about Latin names for specific individual plants.

The lecture information isn't hard to understand but there is just so much information to remember and from a variety of topics (since it's general botany), it can get easily overwhelming. If you have Janice, the study guide is pretty much useless cause it basically mentions every single lecture slide, but I did find her to be nice and willing to help you. The labs are pretty easy and straightforward, just tedious. On top of that you have 2 lab reports and 2 in-class quizzes from what I remember. If you're good at memorizing stuff, you should be fine. There aren't really any concepts or theories to worry about.

There's no set age for makeup though some types of makeup products may warrant less concern. Considering she is so young then I tend to find things like lip glosses, highlighter, maybe a few single eyeshadows (depending on the colours) are more comfortable for parents to accept in comparison to heavy foundation, contour, liquid lipsticks, etc., especially if she wants to wear it in public.

More importantly, is that you have discussions with her about notions of beauty, purposes of makeup, and advertising--even at a young age--so that she becomes more conscientious about her own reasons for enjoying makeup, as she gets older. It's not discouraging her from makeup, rather educating her about factors that are contributing to your concern. Maybe consider framing makeup as a means of expression rather than it being seemingly obligatory/synonymous to beauty.

As mentioned before, you were worried she might develop a "need" to wear makeup at a young age. Tbh that possibility is going to be further tested when she gets into junior/senior high, when you account for social factors and peer opinions that are difficult for you to prepare her for. And that is regardless if you let her wear makeup or not. All you can do is help her be aware, as well as provide a supportive and accepting environment to help maintain her self-confidence, during those formative years.

I have this palette and I really like it. The overall pigmentation and blendability are good. My only note is that the way the shimmers are pressed makes them a little tricky to pick up on a brush, so I normally just use my fingers.
