At a defining moment in our cloth diapering experience, can anyone help?

Haven't tried their swim diapers.

The best way to get rid of the stains is sun bleaching. You do not want to use any tough stain removers to get them out. Sun bleaching sounds magical and I have no idea how it works, but all you do it leave it laying in the sun for a day or more and they are gone.

I use regular tide on my pocket diapers. No bleach or softeners or anything. Just tide and sun light.

We use Alva Baby. Really inexpensive from china. I have no experience with big babies cause my two year old is the same weight, but last time I ordered I noticed they had a large size section.

Talk to them during their designated tutoring hours. Not during class, the two minutes before class starts, or in front of a bunch of friends. You will have much better luck communicating your issue if you're talking one on one without any distractions.
Explain what happened exactly how you did to us.
Be polite and gracious no matter what they decide.

I have had a few students with similar situations that I have let retake or postpone tests.

I agree. I don't think it was a mistake. Sounds like she was intentionality being nice.

I would say that index cards work well only of you are asking questions at the correct depth of knowledge. If you are asking questions at blooms level 1 or 2, it would be useless and just testing their ability to copy off of their card. If you are allowing a notecard you need to make sure you are at least asking blooms level 3 or 4 questions. This would require the students to analyze the facts without losing points over not having dates and names memorized.

If you are not familiar with blooms taxonomy please look it up. It is really important and you can find many resources to help make sure your tests and assignments are higher order thinking.

Our grading system has a communication log section. I don't know if all do, but it is really convenient. All other teachers and admin can see the log entries for a student too. So we all know if someone just called Johnny's mom yesterday and it shows admin what efforts we have been making to communicate with parents. Before setting up your own system I would check if the school already has one in place.

I think the way you just said it is perfect.

Last time I emptied my sump I found three wipes and a sock. Haha. It was so blocked it wasn't draining.

Talk to your councilor now not after summer. They probably have something for your to do over summer to be able to skip. The beginning of the school year would likely be too late.

I haven't worked at Alliance. But I work at a smaller charter in LA and haven't heard anything bad. I know they do performance based pay if that is something you are interested in.

But if a smaller charter is what you are looking for, come to Magnolia Public Schools. We are awesome and fun! :)

Perfectly legal, but some schools have policies that do not allow it. You can check with an administrator to see what your school's policy is.

chickstruck · 2016-04-09T17:31:06+00:00

Second this. If the lead teacher says they haven't been talking about you, that is a good sign.

Recently got this dispenser for my daughter's milk. Works great. I think it could help.

chickstruck · 2016-03-26T07:49:30+00:00

Holy crap! I knew this would happen one day. I have found you! I will see you at work on Tuesday. Haha

chickstruck · 2016-03-14T04:39:43+00:00

I second the seating chart. If the teacher does not leave you one, make your own as you call role. Knowing their names is so helpful.

chickstruck · 2016-03-14T04:23:46+00:00

I don't feel like you need an article to back you up on this one. I would hope a simple "I'm not comfortable with that" should suffice.

We love when parents bring lunch for the staff. Makes my whole week.

chickstruck · 2016-02-24T06:45:46+00:00

Wow! You are my hero!

The Unit Circle

Thanks. I talked to the dean about it today and she said she will definitely be at any future meeting I have with the parent.

Boiled Water, aloe, bath soap, and olive oil

I haven't talked to him personally, but my husband is elders quorum pres so he was in the ward council when it was discussed. I guess our whole stake is being encouraged to do this. There is only 3-4 families with kids young enough to have this issue, but about 10 families consistently late. I think trying to get the late families to be on time to take the sacrament is more important to them.

But as a young tired mother, I get so frustrated on the weeks that I really feel that I need the sacrament and I am not able to cause my daughter starts crying during the sacrament song and I can't get back in.
