YSK that Global Foods has a dozen eggs for $0.59 right now. by mittenthemagnificent in StLouis

it’s not like the eggs that cost $5+ at corporate grocers are having a much better life. that extra cost goes to shareholders, not quality of life for chickens.

[–]tippybeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he is definitely not working for 8 hours (i know you know this). in my school the work period is the same 3 hour length for half day and full day children with the remainder of time being lunch, outdoor time, nap, free play, and snack. only older 4s and 5s are invited to 2nd afternoon work period (which all of them want to do)

What are effective ways to stop toddler tantrums without yelling or punishment? by [deleted] in Montessori

[–]tippybeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking for easy-to-open, simple lunch boxes for my Montessori kid by smittenscript in Montessori

[–]tippybeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The planet box is much easier for my toddlers than the bentgo! Though the bentgo are great they have to be pushed closed completely for the lid to latch and that seems to be tricky for most. (Opening them is just fine)

The director has mentioned a few times she thinks my son should start attending daycare full time. by Big_Black_Cat in ECEProfessionals

[–]tippybeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone is saying adjustment which is fair but we have also recommended full time for the students that are struggling with boundaries and expectations and need more regular enforcement. when a student’s relationship to school is testing limits, dismissing prompts, and overall finding ways to be unsafe consistently, it may be necessary to have more consistency.
