Seek Beauty
At 1000M, we seek a notion of beauty that rises above, and we celebrate others who share this rare sensibility. The Seek Beauty Blog is for those who dare to be different, champion modernity and choose to continuously refine their life experience, giving future residents an inside peek in all things 1000M.
The Art Of Grant Park
Grant Park is a beautiful expanse of green located between the city and Lake Michigan, located directly across from the luxury condominium residences at 1000M. The space, bordered to the north by Randolph Street and to the south by Roosevelt Road is considered "Chicago's front yard." It is home to many of the city's most notable attractions, such as the Art Institute, Buckingham Fountain and Millennium Park. If you're a Chicagoan you're probably aware that the Park is also home to many public sculptures, but you may walk past them without giving them a second thought. Continue reading to learn more about some of Grant Park's most iconic works of public art.
Agora is the name of the iconic cast iron army of sculptures that borders the southern end of Grant Park. Composed of 106 9-foot headless and armless figures, it was designed by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz and placed in the park in 2006. The piece draws inspiration from Abakanowicz's fear of crowds and is thought to mimic the bustling pace of crowds on Michigan Avenue.
The Bowman and The Spearman
Both created by Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic in 1928, The Bowman and The Spearman are bronze equestrian statues, positioned as if gatekeepers to Grant Park. Interestingly, the sculptures do not feature their namesake weapons, a stylistic choice of Mestrovic. He preferred for the weapons to be left to the imagination, focusing the viewer's' attention on the silhouettes of the rider and the horse. The idea to place large sculptures at the park entrance came from famed urban planner David Burnham in his 1909 Plan of Chicago, a strong influence on how the overall lakefront looks today.
Fountain of the Great Lakes
Located in the South Garden of the Art Institute, this bronze fountain depicts five women bathing with oversized sea shells, meant to represent the five Great Lakes. The piece was created by Lorado Taft in 1913 and is one of his best-known works. The women are arranged so that water flows through them in the same order that water flows through the Great Lakes.
General John Logan Memorial
General John Alexander Logan was an heroic Illinois-based Civil War general, also serving as an Illinois senator from 1871 to 1877. The statue was created by sculptors Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Alexander Phimister Proctor, and completed in 1897. The bronze figure is highly recognizable due to its placement at the top of a large staircase built into a hill, which houses the tomb for this war hero and esteemed politician.
Spirit of Music
This bronze sculpture was designed by Albin Polasek in 1923, and honors Theodore Thomas, the first conductor of the Chicago Symphonic Orchestra. Spirit of Music has been relocated many times, but it currently resides at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Balbo Drive.
The sculpture Magdalene, located at the intersection of Congress Parkway and Michigan Avenue, was created by Dessa Kirk and installed in 2005. It is inspired by the artists' previous series of Daphne sculptures, which were originally located around Grant Park but moved to Northerly Island. Daphne is a figure from Greek mythology whose father turned her into a tree to protect her from the advances of the god Apollo. In the springtime, tulips line the female figure's feet, and in the summertime the sculpture becomes part of the surrounding garden, as vines and flowers fill up the skirt of her dress.
Residents of 1000M will be literally surrounded by the beauty of Grant Park's public art, but we encourage all to Seek Beauty and explore the Park's captivating works. The list of public art in Chicago goes on and on! Visit chicagoparkdistrict.com for a complete listing.

They see you when you're sleeping, they know when you're awake, they know when you've been bad or good, so…I can't see this going badly, can you?
American women finally got the right to vote in 1920.
In 2020, a massive 100th anniversary celebration of this 19th amendment to the Constitution of the United States will occur a few months before the next presidential election.
Start by telling Trump he can only spend what he allows Melania to go through in a week, let's see how red that pudding face of his can actually get before the arrhythmia sets in.
One way to triumph over hate crimes is to become a historical icon that inspires millions.


Our baby room is safe, stimulating area for your little one. The majority of the room is carpeted, where babies are able to freely investigate their environment and supports children's inbuilt curiosity to explore and make sense of the world around them.
We provide a wide range of messy play and art and craft activities that excite and invigorate children's senses. We actively encourage cuddles; babies are given milk feeds in their key person's arms, and we follow each child's individual home routine to encourage the link between nursery and home life.
The layout of the toddler room allows children to explore freely and learn to walk, which extends their physical development. The toddler room is still able to cater for each child's individual routine.
Following the 7 areas of learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the room is set up in defined areas which support children's learning and development.
The room offers a small world play area, an area for painting, drawing and getting messy, musical instruments, puzzles and shape sorters. There is also a book corner with comfy cushions and soft toys.
The toddlers also have their own garden area that is individually suited to their needs. The garden is extremely secure and boasts a variety of outdoor resources.
Our pre-school room incorporates a home corner, snug cosy area with a lot of access to songs and rhymes and story time. There is small world play, sand and water play and more focussed activities available. The children are extremely well supported by our qualified staff throughout the seven areas of learning and to each child's individual strengths and personalities. We focus more on children being independent and to attempt tasks with support rather than assistance. We work in partnership with parents to promote aspects as such as potty training, self-service and the important self-care skills of beginning to dress themselves.


This summer, I had the opportunity to work my fifth year at Pine Lake Camps. This wasn't what I wanted to do, but it was something that I felt God was clearly calling me to.
Before summer started I was filled with anxiety. Being torn between what my flesh desired, and what God was calling me to. It was unclear exactly what God had planned for me this summer. However, as the time for me to pack up and head down drew closer, God laid on my heart the reason I was going was to invest in the support staff team. This took shape in the form of morning Bible study and evening devotional/worship.
In order for me to go to camp this summer, I had to sacrifice a lot; my comfort, my emotions, and my energy, to name a few. I had to serve in a less than ideal environment and under less than ideal circumstances. One passage of scripture that kept coming back to me was Romans 12:1-2 (...present your life as a living sacrifice…). This became an anthem for me as I walked down the path God had laid out before me this summer.
Even though this summer was hard, I wouldn't take it back for the world. Looking back now and recognizing the impact that God had on people through me is incredible. I can't help but be in awe of how amazing God's faithfulness is. Even when the road is rugged and you want to turn back, God is right there with you leading you through it.
Through this experience God has provided me with a fresh purpose and a constant reminder that surrendering to Him is absolutely necessary, and abundantly worth it. Having a posture of worship and obedience in the face of adversity was what got me through. It allowed me to reflect on and put into practice the words of Paul in Colossians 1:28-29.
As you reflect on the cross this Easter, remember we are called to surrender everything to Christ and follow after him in obedient worship.

Tottenham manager Pochettino: Solskjaer has no extra motivation to beat me
by Freddie Taylor 2019-01-12 04:59:28.000000
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says Manchester United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no extra motivation to beat his side on Sunday.
Pochettino is the favourite to take over from Solskjaer when his caretaker stint at Old Trafford is expected to end at the end of the season.
But the Argentine doesn't believe that will motivate Solksjaer to get one over him at Wembley.
"The motivation is already going to be there. When you are a manager or a coach, you cannot be focused on all the rumours. The most important thing is to have motivation to do our jobs in the best way," Pochettino said.
"Of course United will come to win and for him there is massive motivation or challenge to manage Manchester United. For me it's a massive challenge to be at Tottenham.
"We are so competitive, we are people that love to win and hate to lose. It's always about wanting to win. The motivation in the Premier League is already there."

Q: Swap between probability measure and expectation value I am reading the book A Probabilistic Theory of Pattern Recognition and I am trying to understand the following transformation on page 13:

where $T,B$ and $E$ are i.i.d. random variables with probabiltiy density $e^{-x}$ on $[0,\infty)$, i.e
$$ P[T \leq x] = P[E \leq x] = P[B \leq x] = \int_0^x e^{-u} \, du $$
First of all, I wonder of the stated equation is actually true, because I have the feeling it should be
$$ \begin{align*} & \quad P\{T+B < 7 - log 2, T+B+E \geq 7 \} \\
                 & \quad + P\{T+B \geq 7-log2, T+B+E < 7 \} \\
                 &= E\{\color{red}{(1-e^{-(7-T-B)})}I_{\{T+B<T-log 2\}}\} \\
                 & \quad+ \color{red}{E}\{\color{red}{e^{-(7-T-B)}}I_{\{7>T+B \geq 7-log 2\}}\}
 \end{align*}$$
I would like to know how he made the transformation. Is it maybe in general  true that if $P[X \leq x] = \int_0^x \mu(x) \, dx$ holds, that one can say
$$ P[X \leq f(Z)] = E[\mu(f(Z))]?$$

WHAT CAN ELEPHANTS TEACH US ABOUT OURSELVES?
A lot, actually. This last week, I had one of those moments that screams at you to pay attention to it. Do you know those times that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up?
I have been putting together a collection of elephant coins to make jewelry pieces with and have learned so many interesting things about these amazing animals.
Elephants are used in many cultures to represent Remembrance, strength through hard times, loyalty to those we love, wisdom and eternity.
Elephants have memories that span years. The phrase, "An elephant never forgets" is true. They remember places they've been and other elephants they have encountered.
Like humans, elephants have a very close-knit family bond. When one of their family members die, they have a mourning period. They often spend hours with the fallen family member holding a sort of memorial service.
Elephants know when others are in pain or distress and they use touch and closeness to express concern for those that need it.
I heard somewhere that elephants see humans the way we see puppies. Not sure how we would know that but it made me go awwwwwww.
Something else (this is the important bit) is that elephants are extremely strong. They are able to uproot entire trees using just their trunks.
Just visualize that for a moment. A full-grown tree being pulled out of the ground, roots and all. I spent an afternoon trying to dig up a shrub in my yard last summer and it almost did me in. Those roots were deep and determined to stay where they were. What I am saying is that I am impressed by this fact about elephants.
THOUGH THEY ARE POWERFUL CREATURES, ELEPHANTS CAN BE TRAINED.
When they are young, a simple rope is tied around their foot and connected to a stake in the ground. Because they are not fully grown, this stake is enough to hold the young elephant. She will test the rope but over time is conditioned to believe that the rope will hold her. As she grows, that belief is ingrained in her so she doesn't try to break free.
On this particular day, however, I just happened to be listening to a brand new workout playlist that I made the night before and it was giving me an extra shot of mojo so I think, 'I am going to try and get 7 before I hit my knees.' I did 7, then I thought that there are only 3 more so maybe I can do those too. Which, I did.
WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO THE ELEPHANT.
Elephants are held by ropes that only have power over them in their minds. They think they are limited by those ropes, so they don't try.
WE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF THEM.
THESE ARE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES THAT KEEP US FROM REACHING OUR POTENTIAL.
Thoughts are often like a jerk of a roommate that lives in our heads telling us that we are garbage and that we shouldn't do anything because Who do you think you are?
WHAT IF WE JUST DECIDED TO BELIEVE A DIFFERENT STORY?
What if we just decided to give one of the ropes a little tug and see what happens?
Have a look at some of the elephant coins I have collected!
That was a cool read. I know I limit myself by a dumb ol' rope. Who says I can't step out of it? Why can't I be stronger than a shrub? Time for some goal setting. Thanks!
Kelly, you are right on the money with this thought. And yes, elephants are amazing creatures. A lot of this stuff is mental, incredible but true. You can totally psych yourself out, OR…go for it like you mean it. People can truly surprise themselves at their inner strength. Thank you for your great stories and insightful comments. And your jewelry is really beautiful.
This is kind of funny but that reminds me of Captain Marvel? Have you seen it? Anyway, I loved how you said, "I wonder what else I can do that I'm unaware it." It made me wonder if that is kind of the whole point of life. Not to necessarily become anything but to bring awareness to who we already are and what we can already do. I'm going to sit with that one. Thanks for the post Kelly. I love you even more than before. And I love elephants more too. Isn't is so cool the many ways God shows us truth.
Thank you for this beautiful message! So thought provoking! What IF. I decided to give one of the little ropes a tug?!!!! Love that! Love your jewelry so much too!
I loved your elephant story!
I have order from you before and was wondering if you still sell wholesale?


It is extremely difficult for seniors in the winter in Haliburton.
Am I proud to be a Canadian? You bet!
If you had to flee your home, your country, what would you take?
Recently, I was unable to attend a volunteer appreciation dedication ceremony held at the new commemorative garden behind the little green house, home to Community Support Services, a part of the HHHS team.
This year World Stroke Day is being celebrated on Oct. 29. The theme is Face the Facts: Stroke is Treatable.
At 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, at the Haliburton Legion a familiar statement was spoken. The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is right now.
Effective Sept. 12, which is upon us, our Gooderham Post Office is supposed to close. What happened to that so-called public meeting council was going to have?
We are not about to enter into any debate about the pros and cons of the Wallings Way proposal since we no longer live in Haliburton but that s part of the problem.
In your editorial of Aug. 6 you speculated about why plebiscites in many provinces have not led to reform.
An unexpected phone call recently to my city home from Laurie Jones of the Rails End Gallery stunned me.


Chiroubles, is, of course, one of the 10 Beaujolais Crus, and is made from 100% Gamay grapes. This soft, attractive Beaujolais is often described as "feminine" in character and can be served lightly chilled, particularly in the summer months.
This wine made by a co-operative called La Cave des Grands Vins de Fleurie. The co-op was founded in 1927, largely by the women of Fleurie, who has become used to working together, during and after WW1, when many of the men from the region were fighting and many would not return. Today the co-op is one of the largest producers Fleurie AC (as well as Brouilly, Chiroubles, Morgon, Moulin A Vent, Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages) and has 330 member-winegrowers with over 350 hectares of vineyards.
Chiroubles has vineyards at some of the highest altitudes among the Cru Beaujolais. Chiroubles cru are noted for their delicate perfume that often includes aromas of violets and are lighter and more fragrant the wines of Morgon or Julienas.
Drink with charcuterie, cold meats, pizza or young cheeses.
This Chiroubles has a deep crimson hue with garnet hints. The nose is powerful and complex, with aromas of slightly stewed red fruit and a hint of mint. It is smooth and warm on the palate, with plump, silky tannins.


Though Karl Marx (1818–1883) died over 130 years ago, his doctrines are continuing to fuel many political, economic, and social debates all over the world.
Although Marx's name was not specifically mentioned in the President's recent State of the Union address, Mr. Obama did touch on an issue that was an integral part of the ideology preached by the German philosopher, economist, and—above all—the founder of communism.
In his speech, the President announced that he would sign an executive order raising the minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10 an hour, from the current rate of $7.25.
So what does the President's announcement have to do with Marx's beliefs? For one, the contentious debate over wages is not exactly new. The topics of social and economic equality, as well as the bourgeoisie's exploitation of the working class, are prominent themes in Marx's two seminal works, The Communist Manifesto (1848) and Das Kapital (1867–1894).
In fact, while in London in 1865, Marx vehemently refuted the views expressed by a socialist John Weston, who argued that paying higher wages to workers would make jobs scarce, and poor people would become even poorer—the same reaction Mr. Obama got from the House Republicans, who claim that upping the minimum wage will discourage businesses from hiring more workers.
Although the idea of a classless and egalitarian society has been widely ascribed to Marx (and, therefore, referred to as "Marxist"), the theories of socialism and communism had been around for hundreds of years before his birth. In fact, some forms of these doctrines can be traced to ancient Greece and Plato's The Republic (380 BC), which portrays a state where people share all their property. Later, Thomas More's Utopia (1516) depicted a society based on common ownership of goods. There are many more examples throughout history of what we now call socialism; Marx's himself was inspired by teachings of German philosopher Georg Hegel (1770–1831), among others.
Marx died before witnessing the failure of different forms of socialism/communism that took hold in various parts of the world since 1917. Most of these systems crumbled by the end of the 20th century because of rampant political, economic, and social abuses perpetrated by local regimes. In the process, the term "Marxist" has acquired a negative connotation and became synonymous with strife and injustice—in contrast to a utopian society that Marx had envisioned.

if I run it with the "old" Code (see the lines below the comment "old") it runs fine without errors. The old code doesn't use any layout file. I would like to add some more functions to the layout ;)  Once I start the activity with the "new" lines (old lines as comments), the app crashes with the error message:

The error seems to occur at "activityLL.addView(llayout);" (line 242) but I have no explanation why...

A: You should call setContentView(R.layout.activity_lesson_view); before retrieving your LinearLayout with LinearLayout activityLL = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.myLL);

Page-Vawter House
The Gauley Mountain Coal Company in 1890 commissioned architect and builder William Minter to build a residence for its president and general manager, William Nelson Page. Page had engineered a narrow-gauge rail line from the Ansted, West Virginia, in Fayette County, through the New River Gorge where it met the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The home sits on an open hillside where its grand appearance catches the attention of travelers on US-60, the Midland Trail. When Page retired in 1917, the company-owned home was offered to Caption John Vawter, who managed the company store at Ansted. Vawter's descendants eventually purchased the property and lived in the home until 2005. In 2006, the Campbell family purchased the building and began to restore its exterior and interior.

CORPORATE COMPLIANCE - TEN STEPS FOR COMPANY DIRECTORS
Many people believe that compliance with company law is a technical and difficult task which must be delegated to the company's professional advisors. However, compliance for small and medium sized firms is relatively straightforward. The following ten steps may help directors improve their compliance.
1. WHO IS ENTITLED TO ACT AS A DIRECTOR OF A COMPANY?
Virtually every person can act as a company director unless they are legally prohibited, restricted or disqualified from doing so. Even if a person is entitled to be a company director, they must be validly appointed to act. Normally, the shareholders at the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) will appoint the company's directors. If in doubt, have a look at the company's constitution, i.e., its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
2. ARE THE COMPANY DETAILS ON THE REGISTER CORRECT AND UP TO DATE?
The provision of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Register exposes directors to possible prosecution. It is also an offence to fail to file an Annual Return within 28 days of the annual return date (ARD), with severe penalties of up to €1,200 per annual and may result in the company being struck off the Register. Where a company is struck off, the company no longer legally exists, the directors may be personally liable for the company's operations during the period of strike-off and the assets of the company vest in the Minister for Finance. While it is possible to restore a company to the Register, it can be a time-consuming and expensive process which involves an application to the Circuit Court or High Court.
3. WHAT BOOKS AND RECORDS MUST BE MAINTAINED BY THE COMPANY?
The following are required to be kept by all companies:
a) Register of Directors and Secretary;
b) Register of Directors' and Secretary's interests (in the company or related companies);
c) Register of Members;
d) Register of (Debentures) Mortgages;
e) Register of Directors' employment contracts with the company; and
f) Minutes of general meetings of members and the board of directors.
A majority of companies fail to maintain the minutes of directors' meetings despite the simplicity of such requirement. The Companies Acts require that the books and records should be kept at the company's registered office. All members of the company are entitled to inspect these books. Failure to maintain these records or to permit inspection of them is an offence by the company and its officers.
4. WHAT FINANCIAL INFORMATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ABOUT THE COMPANY?
The company is obliged to maintain at its registered office books of account which:
· correctly record and explain the company's transactions;
· at any time enable the financial position of the company to be determined with accuracy;
· enable the directors to ensure the accounts comply with the requirements of the Companies Acts; and
· allow the financial statements to be readily and properly audited.
Failure to maintain such books of account is an offence and may also result in personal liability being imposed on directors if the company becomes insolvent. In general, a company is obliged to have the books of account audited by an external auditor at the end of the financial year. An audit confirms if the company has maintained proper accounts which give a "true and fair view" of the company's affairs. If the auditor identifies any serious company law offences during the course of the audit he is obliged to report them to the ODCE. However, a large number of smaller companies are now exempt from the requirement to have the accounts audited. Qualifying companies must satisfy at least two of the following three conditions:
• have a turnover of less than €1,500,000 per annum;
• have a balance sheet total which does not exceed €1,904,607; and
• have an average number of employees which does not exceed 50.
5. MUST THE COMPANY HOLD AN ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM)?
AGMs are mandatory and must be held in each calendar year with not more than 15 months between AGMs. Prior to an AGM, the board of directors must provide the members of the company with the required Notice (normally 21 days); any Resolutions which the company proposes to put to the Meeting; and a copy of the company's annual financial statements. An AGM is required to appoint the officers of the company, including its auditors, and to pass resolutions and/or special resolutions. A failure by a company to hold AGMs within the prescribed time limits, to serve notices on the members entitled to attend, or to hold the Meeting in the proper manner may constitute an offence.
6. WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OF DIRECTORS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS?
The main function of the board of directors is to supervise the management of the company and to set its policy and direction. There is no prescribed agenda or timing of board meetings. However, a board should meet regularly to review the company's state of affairs. A director has a number of general duties including:
· to use their skills and a reasonable level of care in the performance of their duties;
· to attend meetings regularly (but not necessarily every time);
· to act in good faith in the company's best interest;
· to exercise powers for a proper purpose, namely for the benefit of the members or the purposes for which the company was set up; and
· to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest between their personal interests and those of the company.
7. WHAT PERSONAL ENTITLEMENT DO DIRECTORS HAVE TO COMPANY PROPERTY?
One of the most important principles which a company director must learn is that a company's assets are not their property. There are many parties with a financial interest in the business, including the company's employees and its creditors (including Revenue and Banks). Therefore, company directors should not treat company assets as belonging to them. The most appropriate methods by which a director can obtain value from the company are as follows:
· Dividend - A dividend can only be declared at the AGM and must only be paid out of the company's accumulated profits.
· Contract of Employment - A director can be an employee of the company and may take a salary.
· Directors' Loans - There is general prohibition on directors drawing down funds from the company for personal purposes. However, it is permitted in certain circumstances. One of the permitted circumstances is where the aggregate value of loans to directors does not exceed 10% of the company's 'relevant assets'. A breach of the permitted circumstances may constitute a criminal offence by the directors.
8. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE COMPANY IS IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE?
If a company cannot pay its debts as they fall due, then the company is insolvent. If the company continues to operate / trade while in this situation and in disregard of the interests of its creditors and other stakeholders, the directors may be held personally liable for the consequences, including any debts which the company may incur while trading in an insolvent manner. The director will also be at the risk of prosecution, restriction or disqualification if they fail to act within the law and discharge their duties in a responsible manner. Some 300 company directors have been restricted in the last two years for acting either dishonestly or irresponsibly in the conduct of an insolvent company.
9. WHERE CAN FURTHER INFORMATION ON COMPANY LAW COMPLIANCE ISSUES BE OBTAINED?
The CRO and OECD have produced Information Books on the duties and rights of directors, companies and other company stakeholders, including members/shareholders and company creditors. Guidance is also available on the new requirement that directors will report annually on their company's compliance with tax law, company law and certain other enactments having a potentially material effect on the company's financial statements.
10. WHEN SHOULD PROFESSIONAL ADVICE BE SOUGHT?
Some company law provisions can be quite technical. In addition, directors will face important or difficult issues during the course of a company's life. General information such as that available from the ODCE or CRO should always be supplemented by advice from the company's professional legal advisers.

In the intervention area it is a fact the absence of medical specialists in the public health system, the majority attend in private spaces. Furthermore, the public health system works with children up to the age of 5 and does not collaborate with civil society organizations. This causes a wide swath of the population to be uncovered from any free healthcare system. In these years, and thanks to the work of the Fundación San Lucas Mobile Hospital, communities with zero rate mortality have been achieved. The eight communities of intervention for 2020 are: Lomas de Santa Bárbara, Pampilla, Quiñiloma, Calvario Quillacollo, Sumunpaya, Minero San Juan-Alto Litoral, San Antonio and Azirumarca.

Q: Can't Create Azure VM - A lease conflict occurred with the blob https://blah I used to have a VM called Blah2. It got lost when my Azure Trial expired. However there seems to be a residual storage blob.
I am now trying to create a VM called Blah3 and getting this error:
A lease conflict occurred with the blob https://portalvhds1k47j3l46kf3b.blob.core.windows.net/vhds. The long running operation tracking ID was: a27ca5fe937ac471a2c37d1d4589d902.

I could understand this if I was trying to create a VM with the same name.
Any ideas? Thanks.

School starts for our students in one week. Teachers are frantically putting their classrooms together, lesson plans to prepare for the first week...they are preparing to Lay the Foundation for these students. Teachers recognize the importance of laying the foundation. The beginning of the year is crucial, setting up routines and structures within the classroom help students focus on the tasks at hand.
Math is a subject that is so challenging for most of them that it begins to make students question who they are as students, as people. It is crucial on so many levels developmentally...we want students to perceive themselves ad competent and careful.
Laying the Foundation is an important skill that students learn. Getting help, where necessary, can drastically improve the odds of their long term success. Learning how to question, work hard, make mistakes and learn from them, are skills, as a professional, continue to have.
