This is the first part of a two-part article where Theresa Zanatta shows us how parents can be encouraged to create opportunities for their children to learn English at home.
If we accept that as teachers we need to invite, inform and coach parents in ways to become active participants in the development of their child's literacy and language skill development, then we must begin to think about how to go about putting this objective into practice.
In this article, I would like to focus on this important area of the home-school connection: how to reach out to parents to read with their children. I will outline the rationale behind this approach, and provide two classroom routines to help develop the connection. In the second article - The home-school connection 2 - I will provide three more classroom routines.
What do you think - true or false?
When families and educators and communities work together, schools get better.
We now know that parents have a critical role in developing their children's learning habits.
The most recent data concerning literacy scores (test scores for reading and writing) shows that schools that involve parents in developing reading habits at home have higher school reading scores than schools that do not.
Parents are an essential link in improving academic success.
Sending report cards home is not enough.
If you said true to all five of these statements then you are part of a growing body of educators who understand the importance of involving parents in their child's learning process.
Whether it's governments, school supervisors, administrators, directors, teachers, or parents themselves, anyone who is involved with teaching children knows that involving parents as a means for academic achievement is critical to success. Pursuing and achieving academic success is no easy matter. Yet the positive consequences of parent involvement have been well documented.
Allowing parents to question, comment on, and become aware of teaching practices and learning objectives is both informative and formative for parents and teachers and a critical part of creating opportunities for parents to become more involved in the development and review of their child's learning behaviour.
Specifically, encouraging parents, showing parents how, and inviting parents to become active, responsive, and responsible participants in their child's education and in particular, in their child's literacy and language development is in large part about getting families, parents, and kids reading and talking about reading together.
This invitation to parents to read with their children begins with any age (ready to read is ready to learn in any language!) and continues throughout the academic careers of our students.
Easier said than done, especially when most of us have been trained to be neither parent coaches nor reading teachers as well as English teachers. Here are two simple, systematic classroom routines that form part of the body of best teaching practices around the world. They can help you begin the process of inviting and involving parents in the journey to reading at home.
Set up and organize class time to create hands-on, student-made learning tools for students to take home regularly to show parents.
Things like flash cards; take-home storybooks; and realia such as puppets, game boards, sentence machines, personal picture dictionaries, and spelling boards are invaluable memory and speaking prompts for describing and explaining what students are doing and learning in English class.
I call these learning tools because they are much more than just simple cut, paste, and colour activities. Apart from providing irreplaceable opportunities for language development in all of the four skills, they also allow you to manage language diversity in the classroom by providing multisensory learning opportunities for students that cover the different ways that each and every one of your students learn.
Remember the old adage, a picture's worth a thousand words? Well, when these student-made learning tools go home, parents see what students are doing and learning, which is far more effective than their just being told about it. As students demonstrate how the learning tools are used, parents receive on-the-spot demonstrations of what is happening in English class.
Not only are these hands-on, student-made learning tools informative for the parents, but they are also formative for parents in that they demonstrate new ways in which their children are learning and interacting in the classroom. They are a tangible invitation to parents to participate and learn about how and what their child is doing in English.
Many parents aren't able to see the value of these learning tools or how language is developed, practised, and learned until they see them in use demonstrated by their child.
The English portfolio or English folder is an excellent organizational tool to facilitate and systematize parent involvement. When student-made learning tools such as those described above are readily accessible in an English folder or portfolio it is much easier and quicker for parents to see how students are progressing in all of the four skills.
All parents need to do is open the folder and see what has been done and when it was done. Progress, improvement, difficulties, and challenges are visually evident to even the most untrained eye.
What was created, brought home, demonstrated, and signed in September is and will be different from that which was created, brought home, demonstrated, and signed in October, and again different from that of November, and so on throughout the year.
These differences (or lack of differences in the case of no student progress) provide the firsthand evidence parents need to determine just how their child is doing and to invite them to participate in this continuum of personal development.

You have hundreds of camera manufacturers to pick from. Which one should you use? This is a tough but critical question impacting both integrators and users as it impacts product availability, training, discounts, support policies and more. We surveyed integrators around the globe to better understand how many manufacturers they carried and, more importantly, why they made the decisions they did. In this note, we analzye and share more than a dozen integrator comments.
As the chart below shows, despite there being hundreds of manufacturers, overwhelmingly integrators regularly use only a few.
Applications covered: A number of respondents answered that their main line covered the vast majority of their applications, but they turned to a second for specialized cameras, such as multi-megapixel or PTZ, or when their main line was outside the customer's budget.
Ease of support: Keeping the number of camera manufacturers to a minimum also helps to ease support costs. Less technician training is required, and efficiencies gained since installers are used to using a limited number of models regularly. Repairs and replacements are also simplified, since fewer models must be known and stocked for service calls.
"I have stuck to minimal manufactures as I have found some to be better in some areas than others. Rather than have a big mix of cameras in the field, a smaller mix has enabled me to maintain constant expectations of performance as well as reliability. It has also enabled me to negotiate better purchasing pricing which is able to passed on to the end user."
"Right now we install Sony & Panasonic pretty much exclusively with Sony being the majority. We are looking for a more cost effective solution for those jobs that are determined by price. We are comfortable with the quality and reliability of these lines even though the cost is higher than some others in the market. If we find the right line then we will definitely take it on. We just had issues in the past rolling out a big job with a new product and we had a high failure rate among some other issues. So it has been difficult for us find something else. Probably within the next few months we will be adding at least one more manufacturer to our arsenal."
"We are trying to keep our portfolio as narrow as possible, it would be best to have only one manufacturer, but customer likes to choose from few alternatives and looks suspicious, when you can't offer any alternatives, so 2-3 manufacturers are optimal. Another point is product range, often only combining different manufacturer's products you can get good results."
"We try to limit the number of manufacturers so our techs remain well trained. However, we do understand that every application demands a unique solution and there isnt a catch-all product to satisfy every application."
"95% of our cameras are deployed with Axis and Panasonic. We have recently picked up the Sony line as well, but that is about it. I do not like having too many 'lines' to support. I know that cameras are just 'edge devices', but they have complex feature sets that need to be configured for different applications, and our installers need to know which features fit each application."
"Keeping the number of manufacturers that we use to a low number has always been difficult for our company. We've always wanted to be everything to everyone, but spreading yourself across multiple manufacturers when it comes to IP video is very hard to do. On the technician side, keeping technicians trained on multiple models from multiple manufacturers is next to impossible. Installation suffers which causes a poor performing system which then creates an unhappy customer. Its important to have your installers be experts with every piece of product. On the business side of things, it is important to make sure you have the best purchasing power for the times when you need to really compete on bids. If you are selling thousands of a manufacturer's product, they are more likely to give you a deal at certain times than if you were just selling a hundred or so."
"No one manufacturer fits all scenarios, but two (Sony and Arecont) seem to fit 99% of all aspects including price, type, and quality of pictures. Where one comes up short, the other seems to fit the bill."
"We are a very service-centric and process oriented company. We made the decision to not take on too many manufacturers so we could make sure we have service stock and the knowledge to install and service what we do provide. We've also found that installing multiple manufacturer cameras on the same site causes problems both aesthetically to the customer and differences in video quality."
"Although there is a wide variety of manufacturers to choose from when it comes to IP cameras, when we have a choice of what cameras to install, we regularly deploy mainly Axis and Panasonic cameras. We have evaluated many different brands of IP cameras and have found these to be superior products with a great variety of different models and styles, excellent feature sets, and outstanding customer and technical support with a very low number of cameras that need to be returned for repair.. We are an Axis Gold Channel partner and have found having Axis as a partner has been very beneficial to our sales and installations."
Wide selection was the key determining factor for those regular using four, five, or more manufacturers regularly. The ability to choose from numerous manufacturers and models is beneficial when customer or specifications demand it. However, supporting a larger number of manufacturers is likely to increase training costs and installation time, as technicians spread their time across more lines.
"I think we have (and still are) looked at everybody on the sun. I think having a wide variety of cameras give us flexibility to design a quality and affordable solution for the client. Carrying a ton of lines really makes us a unique video VAR. If we have less lines, you limit yourself on where you can compete. We like the idea of being a best of breed integrator since we can take the best of each line and give the end user what we think will give them the best image quality for their site. Some lines you need for performance (Avigilon, Bosch, Axis, Sony) Some lines you need for cost effective reasons (Vivotek, ACTi,). Also some lines like Samsung no one really carries so it makes you unique in that sense too. The last set of lines you need to meet spec (Panasonic, Arecont, & Pelco) Some of this is because the marketplace is all over the place and every job is different with the end-user having totally different expectations on each job. However on our analog we have been all over the map too so this is nothing new really since Pelco began to falter many years ago."
"Because we regularly use cameras from more than 5 manufacturers. We use that many because we strive to meet customers at their need. If they have specified a particular manufacturer, we use that. If they need to meet a particularly tight budget, we look for products to fit that. If their existing infrastructure demands one over another, we use that. If we can make better margin and still keep the customer happy, we'll perhaps use something altogether different."
"We like our independence in camera manufacture which allows us to pick the right camera for the right application. That could be price/performance based, WDR or lens needs for example. We use Acti, Arecont, Axis, Panasonic, and Sony most often."
"The camera choices are driven by application requirements, bid specs, cost and performance. IMHO no one company has the best camera for all applications. We would like use as few as possible but the early promises of "universal IP compatibility" were ludicrous at best. We also cover a wide range of applications from residential to commercial, retail, institutional, MDU and they all have varying requirements. Within those segments you have "cost conscious" and "I want the best" variations which further drives the adoption of multiple camera lines. Between the 4 brands we focus on we have pretty much covered all of you application requirements to date."
Very few integrators answered that they were using one camera manufacturer only. These respondents answered that their main line has not created issues for them and fit most applications, so they turn to other manufacturers only occasionally.
"We have NEVER had issues with Mobotix. In the environments we do installations, PTZs are impractical and often fail due to either a heater/fan issue. We have been extremely pleased with Mobotix, but are considering other brands given their lack of protection in the channel."
"95% of the IP cameras we use are Bosch. Our market is perimeter security where night shots are very important, we have had very good results with Bosch so stick to that. Given this we generally install Bosch internally also, using a limited number of part numbers also makes support much simpler."
On the positive hand, rarely do integrators limit themselves only to a single manufacturer. However, as these practical considerations show, since it is difficult to carry many lines, integrators usually limit themselves to a few. While this helps them be expert in deploying and servicing those cameras, it also may mean that some will not recommend a camera even if it is overall better for an end user's needs.

Since it’s the part that’s responsible for cooling, keeping it clean promotes more comfort and better energy efficiency. It starts by keeping the air filter clean and ends with annual maintenance performed by a licensed professional.
Poor system performance. Dust that covers the coil acts as insulation and it will retard the cooling process. Air conditioners and heat pumps work by absorbing the heat that’s in the air via the refrigerant. The compressor in the outdoor condenser sends it into the condensing coil and that big fan in the condenser blows air over it to help dissipate the heat.
Mold or biofilm growth. Humidity condenses on the coil, which provides the perfect environment for mold and biofilm growth. Besides insulating the coil, mold spores can spread throughout your home and trigger allergic or asthmatic reactions.
A frozen coil. When this coil freezes over because it’s covered with too much dust or mold, it may freeze over. You may notice that your home is getting warmer even though the air conditioner is running continuously. The compressor could burn out, which is the system’s most expensive part. The melting frost or ice on the coil could flood the drain pan and damage the surfaces close to your air handler.
If you can reach the coil, look for dust and mold on the coil. You can use coil cleaners available from home improvement stores or make it part of the annual A/C tune-up.
If you want the lowest energy bills possible over the long, hot summer, keep the evaporator clean. For more information or schedule a tune-up, contact Hansberger Refrigeration and Electric Company, helpingYuma-area homeowners with their HVAC systems in the Yuma area since 1952.

What is Google Lens and what can it do? We explain all about the Bixby Vision rival launched at Google I/O.
Google used its annual I/O developer event on Wednesday (17 May) to reveal Google Lens, an augmented reality application which uses a smartphone's camera to recognise and understand whatever it is pointed at.
The underlying technology is not new, and even appears on the Galaxy S8 smartphone in the form of Samsung's new Bixby Vision. But if the on-stage demonstrations are anything to go by, Samsung will be working quickly to get Bixby back in the race once Lens arrives later this year.
How does Google Lens work and what can it do?
Google Lens taps into the same artificial intelligence engine used to power Google Assistant, the Siri-like personal butler available on the Google Pixel and (as of today) the iPhone.
Google showed how Lens can be used to identify flowers by showing them to the camera - useful if you have an allergy. It is easy to imagine this feature working on a wide range of objects, animals and anything else you throw at it.
Lens can also, as Bixby Vision does, offer up information based on your surroundings. Point the camera at your local high street and you will be given star ratings of each restaurant or bar in front of you.
But Google Lens is a fair bit smarter than that. Show Lens the Wi-Fi network name and password on the back of your router, and the phone will automatically ask if you'd like to connect to the network, using the password on the router and saving this so that you connect automatically next time.
Point Google Lens at a billboard outside a theatre and it will recognise it, then offer up places to buy tickets, or more information about that particular show. Save the upcoming concert to your calendar with one tap, or find music by that artist to stream online with another.
Google is yet to say when Lens will be available, but we imagine it will arrive either as a software update to Google Assistant later in the year, or as part of Android O, also due later in 2017.

I'm feeling good about hosting my first Thanksgiving, and I yesterday I thought it might be fun to see how I might set my table up for Thursday's "big game."
I should begin with a disclaimer: I still haven't painted the dining room, my Decorating Dilemmas curio cabinet got shoved into a corner of the room to make way for a new thrifty find, my table isn't formal, and my "china" is a hand-me-down set that my Nannie got tired of in the 70s and gave to me a few years back.
Because my "china" has old lady blue roses on it, I thought it might be fun to do a blue and brown table to try and get some semblance of a theme in the dining room.
Then I added a $10 table cloth (yes, I know it needs to be ironed) from Wal-Mart and a scrap of burlap from my fabric stash as a "runner."
I added another layer with some chocolate brown placemats, also from Wal-Mart. $2 each, I believe.
I don't have any fine silver, so I wrapped our every day silverware in brown fabric napkins (also from Wal-Mart!) and tied them with twine.
For my Centerpiece, I grabbed my small glass "Thankful for His Grace" hurricane from Blessings Unlimited and some twiggy pumpkins from Target's Dollar Spot.
I'm going to ask my mom if I can borrow her crystal water glasses, and I have some cute brown and blue scrapbook paper that I might try to make some place cards with, but this is just the "rough draft."
Our menu is coming together, and I have a lot of the shopping done.
I also bought some apple cider to sip on throughout the day as we cook and watch the parade. Should be a blast!
*Megan over at Honey, We're Home is featuring my Black Friday post today. Hope you'll leave me some comment love there if you have a chance. Happy Tuesday!
Oh, Amanda!!!! It looks beautiful!!!! :D You are doing a fantastic job! How lovely! Now...RELAX and enjoy your time cooking and visiting with your family. That's the important rule...if you don't relax and have fun while you are doing it, its not worth it.
Gorgeous! I love the combo of blue and brown!
I plan on using burlap..but our colors will be browns, oranges with gold and silver--all natural elements - leaves, sticks, pine cones.
I must have forgotten you had that china! It's not old lady at all I love it!
Your table is going to be terrific! And I love that china!!! Not old lady looking...beautiful!! My plans are going to kids house with the grandkids all around. Will be fabulous! I have all the fixings and they will do the cooking. Good deal all around!
Looking good! Great idea to add brown with the blue.
Looking good Amanda! I'm so impressed you're using real china. One of these days I'll drag mine out of the tissue in the cabinet. HA! Love that hurricane with the pumpkins in it. Sooo cute! Hope y'all have a great time! I'm looking forward to our fried turkey too. YUM!
Your table looks wonderful. I think the dishes are really pretty.
It's coming together nicely! How fun. Makes me wish we were hosting Thanksgiving this year, sigh.
Very beautiful!!! I love the rustic burlap and twine along with the pretty china! Way to go!!!
I love it. I was thinking, maybe some blueberries? But, I love the idea of blue place cards.
I have my grandmother's old china, and you are right it is not as versatile, but it is such a blessing to have the history at the table. I think the blue is beautiful.
Looks like it's all coming together very nicely! I always need to iron everything too. Have a lovely Thanksgiving Day!
I LOVE your china! I is very elegant and I don't think it looks old lady at all. What brand is it?
Your table looks great with the blues and browns together. I love how you tied your napkins with twine.
Your meal sounds SO good!!
Your china is so pretty! Good luck with everything! I know it will be fab!

It is going on seven months since the devastating 9.0 earthquake in Japan. Any given day I can almost argue that it was just yesterday, until a calendar reveals the truth of the passing of time.
Roughly 8 hours after the quake. Our city is completely blacked out. Still hadn't heard from Chris.
Several months ago I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I've heard of the disorder before but (shamefully) associated it with craziness and didn't think too much of it. Due to my own inappropriate, uneducated, ill-informed, definitions of the term my diagnoses did not go over very well and is one, up until recently, I've refused to accept.
Much of the PTSD I have experienced has dealt with extreme difficulties of falling asleep due to my mind 'flipping channels,' nightmares (typically earthquakes, death, and abuse), flashbacks, and high levels of anxiety (PTSD is considered an anxiety disorder). The area of my life that these symptoms (typical for PTSD) have mainly affected is relationships, especially with God.
It hurts to know you love someone but not feel the fire in your heart. The frustration, the anger, yet the disconnect. Going through the motions, walking aimlessly, hoping to eventually miraculously find your way back home.
For the past month I've convinced myself that I am strong, that I am better and was able to will myself to be healed... The true of it though is that I have merely been distracted. Distracted by my job and the praises I have received in that. The approval I received made it easy to assure myself that I'm "fixed."
This truth, though it doesn't fix the disorder, is like a fresh breath to my spirit and gives me courage. Through this I recognize that I am limited and cannot rely on my own energy (which is running low) and efforts and by doing so I make room in my mind and heart for God, for Jesus' grace.
Lord, I pray that I turn to you for effectiveness.
And now, for my favorite verse of all time, John 16:33.
"I have told you these things so that in me, you may havepeace. In this world you will have troubles; but take heart! I have overcome the world."

Our artificial Geranium and Buxus flower box is a perfect floral display to brighten up your outdoor areas throughout the winter months. The trough is made from tanalised timber and can either be sprayed black or left as a natural wood finish (please select from the drop down menu). The geraniums are available in pink, white or red.
Our fake plants are premium quality made using top quality silks and plastic to ensure they look lush and healthy for many years. Visually, this display is 100% botanically accurate. The trough we use is made from tanalised timber which means it has been treated to prevent rotting. The timber is heavy duty and hardy to all of the outdoor elements.
Thinking of using your artificial geranium trough outdoors? Our fake geranium and buxus trough has so many uses - here are a few suggestions; to border your decking area, decorative window box, or to brighten up the entrance to your home or workplace. To ensure your plants stay looking their best, all the plants we have used are UV stable which means they have been protected against discolouring or fading. Many cheaper versions on the market are not UV protected which causes them to fade to a pale blue/green colour.
Extracted from the geranium plant's stem and leaves, the oils are used as an astringent to improve skin and muscles, as a cytophylactic to promote healthy cell growth and as an antibacterial oil to prevent infection in cuts and wounds.

Once again it was a Spartan model, and unlike previous years this one just had the plain scales. It still had the specially marked “125 Years Your Companion For Life” main blade like the other models, but the differences don’t end there.
This one also didn’t come in the fancy gift bag that the others did, but it’s not about the SAK itself, it’s all about the experience of building your own under the watchful, careful eye of a Victorinox engineer.
Of course, since I doubt very much that anyone is reading this with all these nice pictures, I will stop distracting you here!

text: In October 2013 Bolle Transport BV, a Dutch haulier operating into the UK, collected a sealed load from Frankfurt Airport for delivery to a Royal Mail depot at Langley in Berkshire, UK. When the load arrived at Langley six illegals were found inside. The Home Secretary imposed a Civil Penalty of £7,200. On appeal to the County Court it was found that the illegal entrants had entered trailer from the supposedly secure ‘airside’ part of Frankfurt Airport an area to which drivers have no access. Bolle Transport also had a technology-based system of illegals prevention – door sensors, GPS real-time tracking and messaging systems – which was far better than the Home Office-recommended paper-based checks and recording system. The judge found that Bolle neither knew nor suspected that illegals were in the vehicle and agreed that their prevention system was better than the Home Office recommended system but refused the appeal, saying that the penalty system was mandatory – if illegals are found then, whether you knew it or not, you pay the penalty. The Court of Appeal has agreed to hear the case, saying that the appeal “….raised important questions of principle about the operation of the system of penalties imposed upon carriers……” It is thought likely that the Court of Appeal will issue guidelines on how the imposition of penalties should be managed in the future. The Secretary of State is resisting the appeal. The appeal is being conducted by Simon Clarke, a barrister and Head of Road Transport Law at Cartwright King Solicitors, together with Richard Tinkler. Both are recognised as experts in national and International Road Transport Law and both represent UK and other European operators and their drivers.
