Well I wouldn’t start with those words…Many children need to be explicitly taught spellings. To not do so fails them.

Tui

Phonics links spelling and pronunciation together. It’s the bridge.

Yep- maybe the scope and sequence needs to be adjusted to include common spelling patterns for Māori words…

It’s gonna be kids who’s early years at school were mucked up with Covid 😮‍💨

Meme of classical picture where seated man says to reclining woman “you told me you were interesting”. She replies “I said I was “into resting””

Attention @distantduck.bsky.social and all others who need to rest 🛌

This will forever be the most amazing email.

I was just saying this!!

Ooh timing . I had just sent you a message wondering how you are on a different app…

Today we properly met our new Afghani neighbours and it was so nice and I drank a lot of tea and tried dried melon seeds for the first time!

Love this! I’m a speechie and only learned of this clinic recently. It’s not my area of expertise so I’m happy to spread the word 😀

Same!!

Clearing the way for boot camps on farms I reckon!

Next step- farm based boot camps

Thanks!!

My condolences to you and your uterus

Thanks! Dr told me to take brufen beforehand but that the pain is super variable for people 🫣

I love it! My bro was part of it again this year (though not a finalist). He had a great time on Thursday night with everyone 😀

Ooh this is me this week. My first one!

Hi! I have an unrelated question- what is the website with info for clean air in schools in nz? I’m prepping an email to mine…

Under a mattress?

Anything and everything uses up energy. Cognitive work like screens can actually be quite taxing even though your body is still

Anytime! Hope you are back to normal soon xx

Scrolling and screen time is not resting (sorry). This really helped me.

Long lasting snacks and drinks by your bed to easily refuel

Dresses are less faff and less washing than multiple clothing items

Cleaning wipes so it’s easy to do little bits at a time. Laundry liquid is less messy than powder. Stick vac or robot vac.

Slow cooker is your friend- soup, Mexican beans/mince for multiple versatile meals, stew. Roast chicken with pre-chopped veges (can get frozen ones here) , pre-prepared salads/slaw with deli meats

Oh that sucks…Here’s my ideas: Conserve energy as much as you can- lie down as much as possible, sit in the shower, sit to prep food etc.

I watched that show every week!
