It's called such because it's the first total solar eclipse to be visible to the US mainland since 1979 and, well, in general, eclips...See More

i am excited to be doing a "Music around the world" theme this year, and my room is decorated with maps, flags of different countries, airplanes and hot air balloons. We are going to have passports for the year, etc as we study music from different countries. But I am stuck on bulletin board idea for music literacy - where I put the staff and notes...See More

Melody Personally, I wouldn't worry about any connotations of the word baggage with elementary school kids - especially given the whole them of a trip. It's far worse NOT to have baggage when you arrive at your destination on a trip, right? But you could always use the words luggage or suitcases.

The staff could somehow start out as an escalator ...See More

Teacher signs

by Anna

Aug 16, 2017

I teacher second grade and the parents of one of my students are both deaf. They use asl. I am looking for a resource that can help me communicate basic information to them. I know some basic signs but need some phrases to help share daily behavior and work information. Thank you.

flacka Check with your speech and language pathologist because many of them know ASI. How was it handled for K and first grade? For conferences, your district should provide you with a translator but don't wait until the last minute, start the ball rolling now.

Melody Also, don't forget that written communication is certainly an option. A clear pre-written paragraph might be better than a fumbling attempt at signing. Of course, having a translator there would still be helpful for being able to converse back and forth.

Aug 18, 2017

I am still in here....not every day but working/walking and counting my steps! Glad to see some of the regulars still reporting in. Back at Dm's for a couple of weeks (at night). We took a two day road trip while my sis was here. Did a little shopping and enjoyed the eating!!!!

Back on the workout schedule for WW!!

Keep movin'!

Elaine/ret/IN Glad to hear from you, Bev. You have so many commitments these days. Glad you're not sitting down on the job. And, glad you had a chance for a road trip. Gives you some perspective.

Just 3,959 steps today. I did my a.m. walk with my friend, but then, life intervened. Good stuff, so good day.

Men, we'll be thinking of you tomorrow....See More

Hello all.

I am curious if anyone is in this boat. I am a current Fed government employee with another agency. I completed an EQIP less than 3 years ago. Should I expect to do another? I asked my HR rep and she said that the Security Office will make a determination. I am aware that each agency is responsible for doing their own, but can a...See More
