”砍掉重練“ˋ這是什麼句子哎? 啊我中文已經爛到常常要查字典翻譯 就是remodel-改建 可是只是把白磁磚的廚房流理臺和牆換掉 我就可以猶豫快七八年耶 因為問了好幾家估價都說這廚房光是 流理臺和牆砍掉重練就超過$5500 所以一直擱著沒動工 靠yelp找到Elegant Kitchen & Baths 開始就將以設好的預算$5000告訴老闆 有一種無誠勿試的心態 媽咪請老闆來加丈量估價後 超過預算一點點 因為老闆還蠻有誠意的 如果我挑便宜一點的石頭Quartz 700系列 應該可以擠進五千美元預算吧 老闆說如果牆沒敲爛不用補牆 還可再省下些錢(當初老闆說補牆需要$640的) 媽咪又去看了Arizona Tile and Stone 還有掛在Houzz研究很久才決定牆用哪種磁磚 老闆請我們星期六到他的店裡挑磁磚 一家人去還好我事前已經研究妥當 http://www.colorquartzstone.com 選了ColorQuartzR Stone CQ710 Vanilla Cream 還有木紋陶瓷磚加上家人投票意見的雲彩藍灰白碎磚 所以就簽約繳定金了 老闆說請我一定去挑石頭 覺得奇怪quartz顏色都一樣幹嘛還要像granite 去挑那一塊石頭 但是老闆好像很擔心客戶到時覺得顏色或材質不對時 貴鬆鬆的石頭已經切割了就來不及啦 所以星期一媽咪還是自己開車跑一趟囉蘭缸的“陽光大理石” 挑一下眼見為準 雖然沒能一片片看但是 了解是同一批出來的顏色都差不多 如果很早期的存貨顏色倒是比較深 回家過爾灣媽咪順便去買菜 居然見到新開的麵包店櫃檯就是媽咪選的那種 ColorQuartzR Stone CQ710 Vanilla Cream 看那接縫很差參次不齊很擔心 還好這家接縫最後做的很好 不仔細看看不出來

這篇要寫山大妞 但是標題下的是女孩的決心 因為養女兒總是會看見以前的自己 所以只說山大妞是不公平的 山大妞從小就表現貼心 但是她的隨興和隨意有原則的 七歲半後山大妞不願意再依媽咪的意練芭蕾舞了 七歲後山大妞終於開始和哥哥一樣學鋼琴 雖然她心不情願地答應要學 但是卻很自動自發地每天練琴 而且是無聊就去練 早上六點或五點就自己爬起來練 不過山大妞也因為知道眼淚可穿鐵石心腸 因此到昨夜還可以清晨4點跑來媽咪床上睡 她非常有信心地在黑暗中轉開爸鼻媽咪的房間 靜悄悄到媽咪要她踢被子時才會發現她又來換床睡了 以前喜歡的公主裝現在都不要了 尤其有迪士尼公主的都可以捨棄 對神奇樹屋系列的書還是很喜歡 但是對兒童繪本仍然十分熱衷 而且山大妞還是偏愛動物女生生物科學 和可愛的彼得兔系列書 哥哥在二年級時對故事書已經可以持續看40分鐘到一個小時的書 看了長篇小說短篇小說都輕而易舉 The Secrets of Droon C. S. Lewis的Narnia 哈利波特 希臘神話都喜歡 但是山大妞對小說沒圖案不感興趣 媽咪也只能隨她 有時彈鋼琴她要隨興彈 不讓她隨興彈 她就掉眼淚生氣 聽到哥哥被罵 沒她的事她也會躲起來難過避風頭 見到Hannah the Mermaid和女吸血鬼故事會覺得很酷 尤其看完Dracula仍然想萬聖節裝Lacy或Mina 媽咪知道她很聰明 但女生為"愛"的決心卻是很可怕的 那種可以為盲目的愛犧牲奉獻是女生決心的動力啊 七歲半山大妞媽咪可以感覺未來她會想要甚麼...

為了到孩子從小學到高中時 去學校幫忙一勞永逸 媽咪我決定要去申請教區狗牌 其實是方便老師們有事要離開教室方便吧 這情節蠻奇怪的 媽咪一直以來去學校當志工都沒甚麼麻煩 只是有些困惑校區因為一些安全顧慮 有看社會新聞的校園性騷擾和恐怖分子校園槍擊案件 讓家長學校老師和教區都捏一把冷汗 所以去年起就要求老師 只有通過Live Scan的家長志工 可以單獨沒有老師看著和學生一起 其實以前有一年更嚴還要通過肺部健康檢查 因為都得自費申請 所以媽咪都用直接用參觀者(Visitor)的黃牌貼紙去學校幫忙 遇到老師需要離開教室一下下上個廁所 呼吸一下沒有小毛頭的新鮮空氣 黃牌貼紙就很不好看啦 老師們當然喜歡這些不用付錢的家長義工 但是學校有規定 只有橘色貼紙的義工才可留著單獨和小孩們共處 就因為這樣媽咪決定去自費$59申請Live Scan 兩個星期前約了時間 今天九點去橘郡警局掃描蓋手印 可惜有個麻煩就是 媽咪的手汗讓手指紋超難掃描好的 那位負責的胖胖警探雖然脾氣不錯 但每指頭都要掃兩到三次以上 他掃的都快哭出來啦 趕快打手機去請救兵 真的去掃描手印花了快一個小時 救兵說這樣掃出來的印也不是很清楚 所以送件後也有可能會不過 要重新掃一次 花這$59真的很掃興 也許以後都用不到說 爸鼻就覺得媽咪不用再去學校幫忙啦 可是沒有去學校幫忙 都不知道自己小孩學習的狀況媽咪還是很擔心 媽咪還是決定浪費這$59 再試一次吧

偷教一下更有效, stealth schooling strategies

2013年05月06日

If you'd like to incorporate stealth schooling strategies into your homeschool or afterschool setting, here are some simple ways of so doing. Make materials accessible: Books, art supplies, media, and other materials on topics of interest can be selected for their age appropriateness and made readily accessible for independent exploration. Conversation: While one doesn't want to inundate a child with too much information on a topic, conversation--free-flowing, two-way chat as opposed to a one-way lecture--is a marvelous way to determine what a child knows about the topic already. (You might be surprised!) Show and tell: When it comes to topics like character development or basic life skills, children learn by watching us. So, if your child shows an interest in cooking, get in the kitchen with him or her and collaborate on a project. http://www.cedarlifeacademy.com/blog/2013/my-experience-with-stealth-schooling/ Right in the middle of school-at-home and radical unschooling is an approach that is becoming known as stealth schooling. Goldilocks would probably describe it as “just right!” No school hours, no schoolroom, just learning all the time. It’s conscious on the part of the parent, while the child merrily learns, sometimes oblivious that anything special is happening. Unlike radical unschooling, the parent has more input in what the child learns. Unlike school-at-home, it won’t look like school, because it’s stealthy! A big part of stealth learning is creating a home environment that makes it easy for a child to learn. Activities are planned, field trips are taken, questions are answered, and books are read. There won’t be a designated time to learn because stealth schoolers understand that learning shouldn’t be turned on and off. There are no school hours and no designated recesses because learning is slipped in throughout the day, all year long. There is no need for a vacation from school with stealth learning! Stealth learning probably comes closest to describing the approach I took in homeschooling my son. It wasn’t called stealth schooling then, and I’m glad to see the term being used now. It’s clearly on the unschooling spectrum, but I think it will resonate with more families. A lot of stealth schooling is, well . . . stealthy. We look for opportunities to learn. Instead of a math worksheet, we might deliberately plan to double a cookie recipe and ask a young child to help tell us how much to put in the bowl (always asking for real help and not turning it into a quiz). Many games involve math, so you can learn to add with a timed worksheet, or you can add dice or play dominoes! Before you roll your eyeballs and say this is too simplistic, the same concept applies to advanced math. If you are using math in life, (and that’s the whole point of anyone learning it, right?) involve your child in the process, and he will learn. I was practicing stealth schooling whenever I asked my child to write down something on a shopping list for me. I’d pick a time when I appeared too busy to write something down (usually cooking or doing dishes) and I’d “remember” something we needed and ask my not-yet-spelling child to write it down for me. He started to write, realized he needed help, and asked me how to spell the word, so I told him. He learned how to help me, how to spell that word, and the unspoken message was that learning to spell was useful.Very stealthy! In our family we helped nudge along interests and learning without making assignments. We made it easy for him to find new things! We utilized the library and I regularly brought home books that were just waiting to be discovered. I didn’t require that they be read. They were just there to be found, and usually they were. When he was elementary school aged, we’d talk about things during breakfast, and I’d sometimes ask quiz questions from cards that I found at a thrift store. That was loads of fun because we were playing a game. If he knew the answer, great. If he didn’t, we’d talk about the answer. It was a hodgepodge way of learning that was very stealthy. I’d also put sentences on the white board that needed correcting, and that was another “game” he loved! So I took something a bit schooly but didn’t make it an assignment. He’d discover it on his own and make the corrections. Not school-at-home, but it helped him learn spelling, punctuation, and grammar while giggling at the silly mistakes. Stealthy success! When my husband brought a tall ladder into the family room and proceeded to make a pendulum, he was practicing stealth schooling. My son and his friends had loads of questions and had a lot of fun that day! My husband didn’t wait for our son to ask about pendulums (unschooling) nor did he pull out worksheets (school-at-home). He just provided some memorable information about something he thought would be good to learn about and let the kids in the house do what they wanted with it. Super stealthy! The week I decided to organize the thousands of books in our house (I was losing track of what books we had) was turned into a stealth lesson because I involved my child in what could have otherwise just been a housekeeping project. We talked about a plan, and the books were then sorted by fiction and non-fiction, and then the fiction was alphabetized by author’s last name and the non-fiction by general categories so we could more easily find them. It took a lot of thinking to sort all of those books, so that was the first part of my stealth learning project. The second part was that I hoped he would discover some books to read, and he did. Double score in the stealth learning that week! We had more than just fun in mind when we took our son to places like the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Cal Poly Engineering open houses. Clearly advanced math and skills were needed to do the cool things happening there, and we wanted him exposed to that while having a totally fun day. Some time later, I followed up by mentioning that advanced math was necessary for some of the things he seemed to be interested in, and did he want to start formally learning it? His answer was yes, so I selected several math programs that looked good and let him pick the one he liked best. It was up to him to work on it when he wanted and to correct his own work (I was stealthily encouraging independent skills). So it wasn’t radical unschooling and it wasn’t school-at-home, but a collaborative arrangement on his terms with our guidance and support. We’d helped him reach that point by years of stealth learning and exposing him to things we thought would help him. Kids are amazing learners and they thrive with stealth schooling! I’m definitely on the unschooling spectrum. But I also found ways to nudge learning along by exposing my child to things he might not otherwise have discovered on his own. I didn’t always wait for him to come to me with something to learn, but I also didn’t cram unwanted information in him (well, ok, I tried that when he was 6 and soon learned it wasn’t a great plan). Stealth learning may not always appear orderly (no uniform year-by-year state standards), but it’s natural and it works! It doesn’t have to be used exclusively, but it’s worth trying now and then and seeing how it might work for you and your child. My son is grown now, but I continue to practice stealth learning with other kids (as does my husband) because it’s just so fun and we know it helps them. I now realize that all the fun I had with my grandmother was really her way of stealthily teaching me. I’m not sure if she was ahead of her time, or if we are simply rediscovering one of the best ways to teach kids.

Top 10 Words for Unusual Colors Worth Looking

1. Vermilion Color:Vivid reddish orange About the Word: Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (who painted in the late 1700s and early 1800s) was so fond of this vibrant color that vermilion also became known as goya. The word vermilion traces to the Late Latin vermiculus, meaning "kermes." Kermes are the dried bodies of insects (of the genus Kermes) used to produce this ancient red dye. Full Definition: : a strong red that is deeper than geranium, yellower and deeper than geranium red, and bluer and deeper than average cherry red 2.Verdigris Green Color: Yellowish green About the Word: Verdigris came into English in the 14th century from the Anglo-French vert de Grece, literally, "green of Greece." Ancient Greeks manufactured this pigment by hanging copper plates over hot vinegar in a sealed container. When copper naturally oxidizes, a verdigris green film forms on its surface – as it has, for example, on the Statue of Liberty. Full Definition: : a moderate yellowish green that is greener, lighter, and stronger than tarragon or average almond green and paler and slightly greener than malachite green 3. Titan: Color: Brownish orange About the Word: In the paintings of the great sixteenth-century Italian artist Tiziano Vecellio, called Titian, women often have distinctively brownish-orange hair. Such depictions (including "Madonna and Child," shown here) inspired the color name titian. a brownish orange that is less strong, slightly yellower and lighter than spice, slightly yellower and lighter than prairie brown or Windsor tan, and slightly redder and darker than amber brown or gold pheasant 4. bisque Color:Light grayish brown About the Word: Bisque is probably a shortened and altered form of biscuit (meaning "earthenware or porcelain after the first firing and before glazing"), which comes in turn from the Anglo-French (pain) besquit, "twice-cooked bread." One example of twice-cooked bread, a teething biscuit, can indeed be the color of such earthenware.a light grayish brown especially used in textiles 5. Puce Color: Dark red About the Word: Puce entered English from French, where puce translates as "flea." The relationship between the flea and the color is complicated (and over the centuries has involved "flea" as a sexual metaphor) but almost certainly one connection is the flea's hunger for blood. A dark red that is yellower and less strong than cranberry, paler and slightly yellower than average garnet, bluer, less strong, and slightly lighter than pomegranate, and bluer and paler than average wine 6. Cattleya Color: Medium purple About the Word: This color comes from a kind of orchid named for William Cattley, a patron of botany whose enthusiasm for orchids helped fuel a British craze for the flowers in the 1700s. The most common form of one of Cattley's original orchids (the cattleya labiata) highlights the color cattleya. Full Definition: : a moderate purple that is redder and paler than heliotrope, bluer and paler than average amethyst, and paler and slightly bluer than manganese violet Read more at http://www.merriam-webster.com/top-ten-lists/top-10-words-for-unusual-colors/cattleya.html#6VfvzAQrhi2mjQAf.99 7. Smalt Color: Medium blue About the Word: The color name comes from the blue glass of the same name. Smalt is created by fusing together – melting – potassium carbonate, silica, and cobalt oxide; the word's Germanic ancestor means "to melt." Full Definition: : a moderate blue that is redder and duller than average copen, redder and deeper than azurite blue, Dresden blue, or pompadour, and greener and deeper than luster blue Read more at http://www.merriam-webster.com/top-ten-lists/top-10-words-for-unusual-colors/smalt.html#5AECX3f5gM7dZEZm.99 8. Damask, Grayish red About the Word: It may or may not have originated in Damascus, but the name of the damask rose – a flower that traveled to Europe during the Middle Ages – honors that Syrian city. The hue of the blossom lives on as a color name. Full Definition: : a grayish red that is bluer than bois de rose, bluer, lighter, and stronger than blush rose, and bluer and deeper than Pompeian red or appleblossom Read more at http://www.merriam-webster.com/top-ten-lists/top-10-words-for-unusual-colors/damask.html#spWwLiUBFlBxUfBL.99 9. Jasper Color: Blackish green About the Word: The color name jasper comes from the name of the opaque quartz stone called jasper. The ancient Hebrew word from which jasper comes may have meant something like "glittering" or "polish." Full Definition: : a blackish green that is bluer than cannon Read more at http://www.merriam-webster.com/top-ten-lists/top-10-words-for-unusual-colors/jasper.html#XrXfWKzMdDlyOO2F.99 10. Bittersweet Color: Deep reddish orange About the Word: The oval berries of the European bittersweet plant taste first sweetish, and then bitter. But it was the American plant called "false bittersweet," with its orangey-colored fruits, that inspired the color name bittersweet. Full Definition: : a deep orange that is deeper than bittersweet orange; a dark to deep reddish orange Read more at http://www.merriam-webster.com/top-ten-lists/top-10-words-for-unusual-colors/bittersweet.html#2FyMoRUbMot8xWZb.99
