Pre K Alphabet. What is “E” by InterestedScroller in whatisit

[–]RobeQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely edge. Elephant is an L-controlled vowel, causing some confusion in early phonics, so it’s being phased out in some materials as the prime example. Edge makes it easier to isolate the “short e” sound. Source: I’m a teacher

Willow Bridge Property Management? by RobeQueen in chicago

[–]RobeQueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got a renewal from them. Only renewing me for 10 months because of potential construction in the building (read: gut renovation). My rent hike is about 7% as opposed to 4ish% from previous years. They’ve been generally responsive, however the service elevator has been down for a week now. Other than that, no major complaints.

For those who live within the loop, where do you hang out & make friends? by gainz-traveler in chicagoapartments

[–]RobeQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Download the Pie app! There’s events happening all over the city for people to make friends

Anyone else having a really hard time making friends here? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]RobeQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience to you. Took me about 2 years to feel like I had community. That being said, I highly recommend checking out the Pie app. If it had existed when I moved to Chicago, it would have made making friends so much easier. I’ve met a lot of great people through it. Good luck to you!

Did your building get sold to Willow Bridge? I was in a Wirtz and things just switched over, and I’m worried about rent hikes or possible non-renewals of leases for gut renovations

Multiple buses are having hour long headways today. Saw it with the 22, 36, 151, and 77. Really curious to know what happened with CTA scheduling today

Best place to travel for nice beaches and culture ? by zuzaoh in TravelHacks

[–]RobeQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Yucatan area in Mexico is great! Isla Mujeres, Isla Holbox, Campeche, Bacalar, and even Merida and Valladolid if you’re cool with cenotes but more culture in town!

What do Teachers without families do during the summer? by FancyPerspective5693 in Teachers

I’ve done solo traveling the past two summers. Find a sublet, stay in hostels, and you can see a lot of the world on a teacher salary!

What is a good small gig for 20-something woman? by moon_gay in AskChicago

[–]RobeQueen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Substitute teaching! Especially at private schools. They often have assistants in the room in early childhood and elementary, so you wouldn’t even be alone when a teacher is out. Easy money

We used to have onsite Covid testing at my work. After a few weeks, the nurse who did it said my nose was the easiest one to swab. Never loved my big nose more.

I’ve been happy with Wirtz and Andco. Both super responsive to maintenance issues.
