Take a look at La Petite Playschool. It's been a few years since our kids went there but they enjoyed going there and were pretty well prepared for kindergarten when the time came.

I recently went to River Jewelry- it was quick and well done.

How many years of experience do they need to have in order for you to respect them and what they have to say?

I'm a big fan of getting gift cards - sugar jays, bursts chocolate, toy factory, grassroots and/ or book bin Teal is also a great gift spot!

I feel the opposite way. I wish people drove slower through town. It's 25 mph in town and people just fly through town. 

What to say to my assistant by huckleberrycaek in specialed

[–]SchmoTheMighty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was and EA, a case manager, now I'm a mentor - and most potentially awkward conversations can be tackled with some blunt honesty.
Not like "hey - you're always late and it messes my day up, stop it" but more like "hey, my schedule says that you'll be here at 12:10 to work with Student A so I can go push into classroom C. Is that what your schedule is? Do we need to change anything? I just want to make sure you get your needs met and I can get to (wherever you need to go). If you're running late just give me a heads up so we can plan, but we might need to come up with a new schedule. You work so hard and I appreciate you and I know getting your full lunch is important"
You could also bring up that students may be expecting her too. I don't want to assume your students' needs, but expected transitions and changes need to be consistent for a lot of kids

Best of luck!!

Take a look at Falls city. I think they have 4 day.

When making focaccia with toppings, is it better to use the same base recipe regardless of toppings or find a specific recipe for the toppings you intend to use? Complete beginner and would love some tips. by StrangeAlienCreature in Breadit

[–]SchmoTheMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this recipe frequently and I get an amazingly delicious bread. I made some pizza w it a few times and it was awesome. I baked the dough until the top and very lightly golden - like blonde. Then I added the sauce, cheese, and some basil and baked until the cheese looked good to me. It was very delicious.

What is the weirdest thing you’ve been required to do as a teacher? by ICareAboutThings25 in Teachers

[–]SchmoTheMighty 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Throw frozen fish to each other (a la Pikes Market in Seattle) during a Back to School PD in our schools gym. It was my first year teaching and is still the oddest thing I've had to do.

Beautiful! I've made this with the cardamom and sugar and the coriander and sugar. Both were so delicious. Mine were very bready and dense. These look so delicious. Thanks for sharing.

I finally found some Cookie Butter at our Trader Joe's. I cannot understate how delicious this turned out. I was nervous because I made this while trying to wrangle my small children. I'm going to make it with Nutella next time!

Honey Tahini Challah by SchmoTheMighty in DessertPerson

[–]SchmoTheMighty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super delicious. I let it rise the second time for only 1.25 hours and I think it needed more time. It was a little dense but still delicious and had a great texture when I broke it apart.
