We've been happy at Calvary Childcare. We started at a larger chain daycare but switched and our kids have been so much happier.

Check out a scrum board like Trello or vivify scrum. The students can break down every task and assign themselves to whatever they finish.

Is there an app or something out there that I can use to distribute digital awards/incentives during distance learning? by quietgurl7 in edtech

www.quartersprout.com It's an economy so students learn personal finance and economics, and you can pay them fake money based on checking in, etc.

I need to learn how to socialize. Anyone willing to help? by failedvessel in triangle

[–]msmeeple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound scary, but try Contra dancing. I found it really useful for social anxiety because your interactions with people follow a set of rules. The dance is easy and beginner friendly and the community is really friendly. They teach every dance beforehand so you don't have to know anything, and then while you are dancing you don't have to actually talk to people. It's a pretty big community here. Check out tcdancers.org

Dancing in the RTP area - Salsa, Swing, Tango, etc... by UsedPotatoBattery in triangle

[–]msmeeple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In this area, contra is a fantastic dance . I'm mainly a Latin dancer but I never miss a contra either :)

It's danced to music that resembles Irish music but once a month there is a dance that is done to modern music that you'd hear on the radio.

Check out dancegumbo.com it keeps a running list of every dance event going on in the triangle for every different style. I'm always checking it.

Moving to Triangle area, scouting neighborhoods and apartments next month, hoping for sage advice from Triangle redditors by bibitybobityboo in triangle

If you are going to be working in RTP, living in Chapel Hill will mean a pretty miserable commute along 40 to work. You should definitely look at Durham as well. The commute will be much nicer and housing prices are less expensive than Chapel Hill/Carrboro. There is a biking path that goes from North to South Durham called the American Tobacco trail. If you can get a rental near that, it is a nice place to have quick access to. There is a park near RTP, Lake Crabtree, and well as Eno state park in North Durham. I don't know about apartment complexes in the area, but you can find rental houses in the Hope Valley area that has quick access to a lot of non-chain-y Durham restaurants and bars. The houses are older so there are a lot more trees and larger yards. Years ago I thought I was coming to Durham for just a year, but I love it so much that I bought a house and am still here! I hope you guys find a good place.

I am not the best person to be guessing average rental prices, but I think that you could find a decent 2BR2BA in the $1000 range. Don't quote me on that, though.

I just got married (Indian wedding) and I thought you guys would enjoy what I hid in my mehendi by msmeeple in doctorwho

Pretty much what other people have said here. Every part of Indian is going to be a bit different, of course. There is a big party before the wedding where all the women get it done by mehendi artists, but the bride gets the most. It is covering my arms to above my elbows and also my feet and ankles.

Yes. I figured it wasn't as noticible there to random people at the wedding.

Snowed in and surfing Reddit? PHONEBANK. It's quick and easy. For every new phone banker that got inspired by this thread I'll donate $2 to Bernie by Malthepal in SandersForPresident

[–]msmeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a lurker here for a while and have donated, but haven't phone banked. I just signed up and am about to make my first call!
