This document discusses strategies for improving writing skills in ESL/EFL classes from KG2 to Grade 8. It covers developing writing, common writing problems students face, sentence structure, the writing process, paragraph structure, and techniques for practicing writing such as writing prompts, vocabulary exercises, and avoiding plagiarism. The goal is to make writing fun and give students real-life writing experiences through various activities. Consistent practice is emphasized as key to improving writing ability.
This 4-day first aid course for 3rd graders had the objectives of teaching students how to help in emergencies, learn first aid techniques, and know the dangers of some acts. The course involved learning techniques like bandaging and CPR. Students practiced their skills through simulations with dolls and partners. On the final day, students demonstrated what they learned by creating an imaginary hospital.
Overcoming Our Legacy: Courageous Explorations Above and Beyond the One-Shot ...Rachel Gammons
If we take away what we “know” about the limitations and
benefits of one-shot library instruction—what would be left? If
we stopped manufacturing “teachable moments”—where might
we find them? Leave your preconceptions at the door and come
join an aggressively positive conversation about the possibilities of
instruction beyond the classroom walls. Share insights, innovations,
and inspiration. Take home some new ideas. Come prepared to
contribute and explore!
The document provides instructions for a bird challenge assignment, asking students to research and present on a chosen bird. It includes descriptions of two example birds - the Juniper Titmouse and Chestnut-backed Chickadee - and provides links to online resources for researching physical characteristics, habitat, diet, and other information about different bird species. Students are instructed to write an original report on their chosen bird using outside resources and present their findings the following Monday.
The document summarizes the steps taken by a Sudoku solver to solve a puzzle. It provides updates after each set of deductions, eliminating possible values from cells. Through techniques like naked pairs, quads, and x-wings, the solver is able to systematically reduce the possible values in cells until arriving at the unique solution.
The document summarizes a 3-day meeting held in Torres Novas, Portugal from October 29-31, 2012. The meeting included visits to local schools where children welcomed participants and worked on nature projects. Participants received certificates of presence and were honored at a reception for European partners. Cultural visits were also made to local caves, towns, and sites including a visit to pre-primary schools where children prepared traditional sweets for a Cookies Day celebration. The meeting concluded with a party featuring traditional Portuguese dances and songs.
The document describes the step-by-step logic and deductions made in solving a sudoku puzzle. Key deductions include eliminating candidate numbers from cells based on relationships with other cells in the same unit, row, column or 3x3 box. Through a series of deductions eliminating inconsistent candidates, several cells are fully solved including cells with values of 2, 7, 9, 5 and 1.

The document describes the step-by-step logic and deductions made in solving a sudoku puzzle. Key deductions include eliminating candidate numbers from cells based on relationships with other cells in the same unit, row, column or 3x3 box. Through a series of deductions eliminating inconsistent candidates, several cells are fully solved including cells with values of 2, 7, 9, 5 and 1.
The document summarizes the steps taken by a Sudoku solver to solve a puzzle and identifies additional eliminations and strategies that the solver failed to recognize initially. It then walks through applying naked pairs, quads, x-wings, and Setti's rule to further reduce the puzzle until it is fully solved.
The solver initially eliminates some candidate numbers in certain cells based on constraints. This allows it to deduce the values of some cells. It then eliminates numbers from other cells and regions, revealing more naked pairs and singles that allow it to solve more cell values. After these initial deductions, several cells are solved leaving only one candidate number possible in each. Further eliminations result in a naked pair being revealed that allows many more cells to be solved, completing the puzzle.
Using a solver, the document arrives at an initial position in a logic puzzle by eliminating inconsistent numbers. Several rounds of eliminations are made by considering sequences, compartments that must contain certain numbers, and inconsistencies between potential answers. This solves many cells in the puzzle and eliminates candidate numbers from open cells.
The document provides a step-by-step logical deduction of eliminations made in solving a sudoku puzzle. It begins by eliminating specific values from certain cells based on relationships and candidates. It then describes naked pairs, triples, quads and other patterns like x-wings and unique rectangles that are used to further reduce candidates. Through this process of logical deduction, many values are eliminated until the solution is reached.
The document describes the steps taken in solving a sudoku puzzle. It eliminates many individual numbers from various cells based on logic deductions about what numbers can and cannot occupy certain cells given the constraints of the sudoku rules and the current state of the puzzle. However, it eventually reaches a point where there are contradictions no matter how it proceeds, indicating that the puzzle is not yet fully solvable with the techniques applied so far.
The solver has made several deductions about the sudoku puzzle:
1) It deduces that cell J9 must contain 5, and this allows it to solve several other cells.
2) It finds that cells EF23 form a prohibited pattern, solving other cells.
3) It identifies an x-wing pattern in columns 3 and 4 that eliminates 8s from other cells.
4) It identifies another x-wing pattern that solves additional cells.
5) Counting constraints on rows and columns leads to more deductions and solutions.
The solver stops after making several deductions:
A13 must contain a 7, which eliminates other possibilities in that row and column. A79 cannot contain a 3, narrowing its options. B13 must contain an 8, eliminating that number from other cells. Various cells are then solved through elimination of possibilities, such as F2 being 1 and J4 being 3. This reveals pairs like 79 that further reduce options. The puzzle is eventually solved through this process of elimination.
The document provides step-by-step logic to solve a Sudoku puzzle. It eliminates candidate numbers from cells based on constraints like unique digit rules, sequence rules, and logic deductions. Over many lines of reasoning, it arrives at a fully solved Sudoku grid with a single possible number in each cell.
FH8 cannot be [789] but must be [123] based on two reasons:
1) If FH8 were [789], it would lead to a solved naked pair of 45s in row H, then a naked pair of 12s, solving H3 as 3.
2) If FH8 were [789], eliminating 78 in row G would leave three cells that can only contain 45, which is impossible.
The solver progresses through a Sudoku puzzle by eliminating inconsistent candidates based on logic deductions at each step. It determines that A1 must be 3, solving the rest of the puzzle, as setting A1 to 6 would lead to a contradiction in cell E49.
1) The solver eliminates numbers from positions in the sudoku puzzle based on logical deductions.
2) Several positions are reduced to only containing certain numbers, eliminating those numbers from other positions.
3) X-wing and unique rectangle deductions are used, further reducing the possible numbers in various positions.
