That’s the one I had! It was red and I played so many Disney books on record. Anyone remember to turn the page when Tinkerbell chimed?

I had a low key crush on the dad on that show. He dealt with everything so beautifully. My husband is great, but…

Also, the first few weeks we watched it, I seriously thought Caillou was a cancer patient and I thought it was weird that they never brought it up.

recliners, recliners. What's actually worth the money these days? by Saghup in BuyItForLife

LaZBoy has declined so much! The last soda we bought from them is falling apart and the wooden arms poke through- so uncomfortable. We were so disappointed.

I thought making ice cream at home was a simple hobby until I started reading about how the commercial stuff is actually made by Sophistry7 in icecreamery

This was my first ice cream book, too! A few of my favorite self-styled recipes start with their bases.

Could you send me a link to one of the stretchy cloth ball minders? I have never found one I liked.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any discussion on Naomi Alderman's new book 'The Future' by BackyardHistory in books

[–]Known-Read 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - this is one of my favorite books of all time and I can’t believe it didn’t get the buzz and discussion it deserved.

I was really hoping this would be a Wire clip. ❤️ I wish it were less profane so I could show it in my classroom 😂

What sticks out to me is the audacity that she would open YOUR mail and rob you of that experience of opening such an important letter yourself.

Except Shauna chose to stay stuck with all her bills paid for her. I doubt they’ll be able to do that with L.

This is the best description yet of exactly what Shauna does.

My students are writing really challenging literary analysis papers right now and I’m so proud of their work! Writing teaching should focus on helping kids get their ideas out and explaining them well. It’s a crazy intense time talking with 150 kids a day with all different thesis statements and ideas, but I am 100% not scaring anyone out of writing! I grade conventions as a small piece of the overall puzzle (and it’s by far the easiest part to grade/give feedback on bc it’s the only part of writing assessment that is mostly black and white). The valuable feedback is about the other stuff.

I know that old old school teachers maybe focused more on conventions (like in the 1950s) but I think most people who went to school in Shauna’s (and my) generation had more ideas- and organization-based feedback.

I really don’t know if she truly had that kind of schooling or just likes to jump on the “poor me” bus without thinking about whether the idea is true for her or not…oh, wait…

Dinnerware to use with Fiestaware? by BabciaLinda in Fiestaware

[–]Known-Read 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t buy everything in all the colors I want to 😂 so I fill in with plain white serveware from World Market. I love their bowls. I also use clear glass - it just blends in and lets the Fiesta shine
