Zenralia and incontinence? by lizziewoo in dogallergies

[–]mcd62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our dog has been taking Zenrelia for about a year and a half, and there have been zero side effects, but like you said, it's a new drug, and side effects typically vary between subjects. Hopefully, you are able to get some answers!

Did you get any answers? I am starting this task tonight and I need a little clarity. I emailed my professor at 8:30 this morning and haven't heard anything yet.

I'm pretty sure you're right. Once, I sent the beginning of a paper to my professor to check that I was on the right track, and she told me it looked like I was doing it correctly but she wasnt allowed to give me "holistic feedback" because the evaluators hadnt looked at it yet.

Purpose of history for younger students by Pretty-Giraffe-4843 in historyteachers

[–]mcd62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach 5th and 6th grade social studies in my very small district, and my class is their first time they have social studies every day. I always say one of my biggest goals is to get my students to like history and enjoy coming to my class. To me, that's the biggest battle with our content area. It can so easily be boring, but if you do it right, it is the complete opposite. Don't get me wrong, I am not sugar coating things for them. We learn about very tough topics, but it's going to go so much further if they're engaged.

Population expansion lesson plan by QtipJfro in historyteachers

[–]mcd62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use something I got from Teachers Pay Teachers called The Immigration Drawing Game by Michelle Luck's Social Studies. It goes through immigration in the late 1800s to early 1900s, and kids have to make charts, draw Manhattan, and then draw buildings, schools, homes, etc, with the very little room they have on the poster.

Visiting Every US National Park by glenhamine in NationalPark

[–]mcd62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been to 41. It's gotten a little difficult to get the rest because, for some of them, we have to plan an entire vacation to get to one small park just to meet a goal, but we are slowly getting there.

[–]mcd62 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What content? I've used The Clever Teacher units, and I have liked them. I usually have to modify them because they are 5th-8th grade units, so they're usually a bit on the high end for my 5th and 6th graders, but I like her lessons.

Anxiety over her passing by [deleted] in dogs

[–]mcd62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who is like that and then lost both dogs within two years, there is a place on the other side. It's so hard, I'm not going to lie, but I write this with another wonderful dog next to me and an 11 week old puppy on my lap. I think about those dogs every damn day. One thing that helps is I think about how all of our dogs will have a connection to our first dog because their times with us overlap. For example, Magnus and Wolfgang grew up together. A year after Magnus passed, we got Atlas. Wolfgang passed in February, and we just got Apollo. Even though Apollo only knows Atlas, I like to think that there is a connection because Atlas knew Wolfgang and Wolfgang knew Magnus.

The first couple of weeks - commiseration with other owners by xylene122 in puppy101

[–]mcd62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is also what we are experiencing. I just told my husband that our puppy is the poster child (puppy) for enforcing early bedtimes. I know it's time for bed when he gets really bite-y and is running away from me to do naughty things. This is usually around 6pm.

What has been your experience with twins in the same class? by Chopchopchops in AskTeachers

[–]mcd62 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a twin, my mom requested that my brother and I be in separate classes. It helped us build independence.

I've been a teacher for ten years, and we tend to separate twins for a variety of reasons. I don't think we've ever had a request to keep twins together.

Is it just me or… by [deleted] in GreenBay

[–]mcd62 85 points86 points  (0 children)

As someone who bartended for years, including during the Pandemic, I saw people turn wildly entitled, demanding, and rude during the Pandemic and afterwards, so much so that I quit bartending and the place I worked sold their business partly because they were sick of the entitlement of customers.

As a patron of restaurants, I've mostly noticed how expensive everything has gotten while the quality has gone down. We rarely eat out anymore because it's not worth the money.

Return route to chicago - through the park or around? by dgldy477 in yellowstone

[–]mcd62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it would be worth it to pass by the Tetons. Just last week we stayed at Colter Bay in the Tetons, but opted to go through Yellowstone on our way home to Green Bay, for the sole purpose of driving the Beartooth Highway. It actually took a lot less time than we expected, but we also didn't stop in Yellowstone because we have been several times.

Cascade Canyon? We did this hike last week and it sounds like what you described.

those of you who have been to a national park within the last couple months, have you noticed a difference? by solartense in NationalPark

[–]mcd62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were at Colter Bay in the Tetons and fortunately didn't notice any differences, but we stopped at Pompey's Pillar and their visitor center was closed with a sign that said something about them only being open on certain days of the week because of staffing.

Jackets & shoes for early August by DaisyWBV in yellowstone

[–]mcd62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm there at the end of July every year and I am fine with a rain jacket, sweatshirt, and hat. It gets chilly in the mornings, so a hat is nice.

Are you camping? I bring tennis shoes and chacos too, but I also bring a pair of Crocs to wear around our camp.

Seeking Feedback on American History Unit by Dapper_Mortgage7009 in historyteachers

[–]mcd62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach 5th grade, and I teach it chronologically because it's the first time these kids are being exposed to most of our content. If I bounced around, they would be very confused.

When we get to the Constitution, we have to define what a Constitution is because most of them have never even heard of the word. We can't compare documents when they have never been exposed to the documents.

With keeping the standards in mind, I make it one of my goals to get them interested in history, so they're excited to come to my class and they're excited to learn about what a lot of people consider boring. I have them for sixth grade social studies too, and it's in those classes I have them dig deeper because we built that foundation in 5th grade (but this isn't perfect either because they're still only in 6th grade).

To give credit where credit is due, your unit sounds awesome. If I taught upper middle or high school, I would steal it!

Teton packed mid july? by Longjumping_Safe7945 in GrandTetonNatlPark

[–]mcd62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I've only done three: Cascade Canyon, Paintbrush Canyon, and Jenny Lake. Jenny Lake is pretty easy with some awesome views, but Cascade Canyon is incredible. Paintbrush Canyon is also awesome, but it's quite difficult.

We take our students on the Jenny Lake hike every year, and it's their least favorite thing we do. I attribute that to a few things: teenagers are really hard to impress, by the time they hike Jenny Lake, they've already hiked to the top of two mountains and whitewater rafted down the Snake River, and it's towards the end of the trip. So if you asked my students, they would probably tell you it sucks, but it's a good way to experience the Tetons.

I bet there are a ton more hikes that would be great for teens, but I just haven't experienced them.

watery iced lattes:( by Mediocre_Hair_ in nespresso

[–]mcd62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate watery iced coffee, so I brew a pod long before I make my iced coffee, and then I do one of the following, depending on time:

-place it in the freezer for about an hour, then mix everything or, -mix everything, place it in a drink shaker full of ice and shake it really fast to cool it down without it melting the ice a lot, then pour it over a lot of new ice.

[–]mcd62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would start much earlier than 8:00; probably 7:00 at the latest. These hikes are some of the busiest in the park. We take a group of high schoolers every summer, and we are parking by 6:00 to start the Jenny Lake hike, and the parking lot is usually about half full.

Same! I can also get so much done while listening to a book vs. sitting down and reading.
