Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom

-

We live in a society where we come across people from different cultures every day. I think more people move to live in other countries than ever before.  People moving to different countries means cross-cultural experiences in the classroom for students and teachers. When I was eight my parents moved to the United States. My dad was in the RAF (Royal Air Force) and had been advised to send my older sister and me to boarding school. The thought behind it was that moving to the States and the difference in education would affect our long-term education. My parents didn't agree, they thought that moving to another country as a family and having new experiences together would be better for us. So as a nine-year-old I started school on a military base in the middle of Nebraska. I had a great experience and it was my first experience being in a different culture. Although English and Americans speak the same language (debatable sometimes) I was definitely experiencing a different style ...

Have you heard about the NEW Purex Laundry App? If not it is a new laundry aid that Purex has launched and it has a couple of really cool features.  Android here and iOs here.   I downloaded the app and have been using it to help me with my laundry. I don't know about you but one of the things I do ALL the time is put laundry in the washer or dryer and then forget about it.

Another cool feature of the app is the Label Decoder - You can pick all of those confusing symbols that you find on your clothes tags.

Little J has really been hitting the jackpot with our reviews so far this school year. We have had some great stuff and  Spelling You See definitely did not disappoint. If you think the name sounds familiar you would be right. Spelling You See is produced by the same company that produces the infamous home-school math program Math-U-See. Little J knows all of his alphabet and letter sounds and has been really doing well with his reading program so although he is only five and if he was going to public school wouldn't be in Kindergarten till August I decided to try  Spelling You See - Jack and Jill Level B with him instead of  Spelling You See Listen and Write Level A and I am so glad that we did. Little J has seriously loved this curriculum I can't wait to see how he improves as we work through both books. The Spelling You See founders have the philosophy that to learn to spell requires learning things in a certain order, in the same way as we learn to wal...
