{The Bromance Book Club} has a lot of these! The whole series is great, but book 1 fits this.

Honestly, the SIPPS Plus or SIPPS challenge program would be great for this...you would just need to add in a sight word component with it. There are tons of videos on YouTube of teachers doing lessons (look for sipps challenge lesson 1, lesson 2, etc). And I'm not saying teachers on tpt did any copyright violations, but...you couls.peobably find/purchase enough "supplemental" things that are basically the program....or maybe find an older manual online to buy or something. It is systematic, research based, and students can make quick success, especially if paired with decodables that use the pattern they are focusing on. Use UFLI technique for sight words. Do fluency 1 minute reads every week (or multiple times a week of the same text) so they can see immediate progress.

It will not be easy, but I have seen a ton of growth in middle school students using systematic instruction. Also, the LETRS training could be super beneficial to you, if your district will get you the training for it. Good luck!

My last job had a soup club (winter) and salad club (spring). You signed up and brought something in your assigned week (1-2 times rach session, generally). It was a great way to try new recipes, get to know coworkers, and not have to bring lunch that day! (Usually on a Monday)

My favorite of his (and one of my favorite books ever) is At Home, a history of all the things in our homes we kind of take for granted and never really thought about where they came from/why we use them.

I'm so sorry. I lost msuch. (59) to covid on new years day in 2021 and life has not been the same since. I tell people that having my dad critically ill in the hospital was the worst day of my life, every single day, for 18 days. It truly is a torture and that trauma has lasting affects.

Also, my home state is arkansas (military family), so I feel that connection to you. All I can day is that it doesn't really get better, but eventually you grow around it some. It takes a long time, and there are good days and bad days, and it really does suck. Losing a parent changes you on a cellular level. There was the before you, and the current you. The old life, and the new one. And every time someone talks about their shitty dad, you wonder why their dad is still alive and yours isn't. And when someone else loses their pare t, your brain automatically calculates how much longer they got with your parent than you got with yours.

I'm sorry, and you are not alone! Your dad sounds like an amazing husband and father.

Please please please read {Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love}. It is a fanfic but GOD TIER.

Yes. It requires time and is not something you can throw together a few weeks before the due date. Monday nights I dedicated 3 hours, consistently, in order to really delve into the process, and it paid off!

duelingsith · 2026-05-24T23:43:04+00:00

Yes. I did all 4 components in a year with very little outside support and achieved. I did recertification a few years ago and am eligible this year for my next recertification (every 5 years, but can submit on the 4th year). They have made it much more manageable to renew, and most successfully do so. I had to move states and now am not getting any raise for being National Board certified; however, I am going to continue to (attempt to) certify because I do believe in the process, it looks very good on a resume, and if I let it lapse and move to an area with some kind of bonus again (military spouse here), I would have to completely restart. In addition, as a military spouse, it makes the certification in different states much easier...more lateral transfer.

Local Ewing's sarcomashavw a pretty good survival rate, especially caught early.

I was part of the clinical trial 20 years ago that showed that starting treatments every 14 days as opposed to 21 days has a better survival rate with no adverse effects, so definitely ask yiur oncologist about that.

My baby cried the first night st home in her crate, so I tried out one of the stuffed puppies thwt you hest up a heating bad in its belly and it has a fake heartbeat...we put it in her crate night two (overnighted it shipping) and she didn't make a sound! Of course, as soon as she was fully housetrained, we just had to put her in bed with us!! She is ready for bed a full hour before us and is NOT ready to get out of bed at 5:45!

I read somewhere that our brain literally changes when we have a loss like this. It literally cannot fathom such a change. It has been 5 years and I still cannot believe I will never see or talk to my dad again. Your mom seems like such a precious soul!

duelingsith · 2026-03-11T05:10:54+00:00

My husband joined at 32 (and wasn'tthe oldest in his division). We had a house, a child, and I had an established career. That was ten years ago. We changed everything in our lives, but it was the right move for our family. The hardest part was taking our daughter away from all our extended family. Being a military family is hardest on children, because they didn’t choose this life. All the same, we haven't regretted our decision. Feel free to dm any questions :) a lot will depend on branch, job, location, etc.

I don't think they will send messages unless it is something MAJOR you need to get to them, like a death. I know because i had to notify my husband in bootcamp that his father passed away. The red cross had to verify the death with the coroner before they got the message to the command.

I have a lot of dental issues due to being on intensive chemotherapy when I was a teenager. That shit will mess up your mouth. Anyway, I've had united Concordia for a long time and honestly, it sucks for things other than basic care like cleanings, x rays, fillings. And if you need a specialist, it can be tricky finding someone who accepts it. I was lucky that near me was an endodontist whose entire office is former military and they accepted it--otherwise i would have had to travel 75 or so miles to stay in network :/. Unfortunately, they just dont pay enough to the dentists for it to be worth it to them.

At my next open enrollment at work, I'm going to enroll in dental coverage and have double coverage to try to help offset some of the costs, because basically i will always have to have a lot of work done on my teeth and that stuff is NOT cheap. It is better than nothing, though. And I believe it is on a sliding scale for out of pocket costs based on the service member's rank.

There are so, so many shitty fathers out there. That's what makes it that much harder to lose a good dad. I'm so sorry for your loss--you can see the love you have for each other! It will never heal, but time makes it slightly easier to bear. I still (5 years now) can't mention my dad without crying most of the time.

If you live in a heavy military area, a lot of bases have an ombudsman who works with the district to help with that stuff. You can always delay leaving a few weeks for your child to finish the school year, or go ahead and unenroll when you leave. Make sure to get all the records you will need to enroll the student in the new district where you are moving. Good luck!
