I am very impressed with the Pre K classroom. Not only are the teachers and curriculum excellent so are their transitions and communication. Thank you for all you do to support our family’s needs.

This school has become a second family. The director is always available, friendly and helpful. They treat my child as if he were one of their own and always say hi to me and him in the morning and goodbye to us both in the evening. The teachers are all friendly and welcoming. I’m very happy with this school.

Verified Shopper


Best decision I made. I didn’t have much time to decide on a school and once I toured La Petite o knew I made the right choice.

Verified Shopper


I used to work for this school so I already knew my child would be attending once she was old enough. I felt comfortable with the teachers that I grew to know when working there and meeting the new ones once my child started there. The Brightwheel app they use is awesome because you can see their daily activity posted and send and receive messages to and from the teachers. They also send pictures through

the app!

Where to find blacksmith stones in Elden Ring – Gambling

In order to improve weapons in Elden Ring , you must not only find a blacksmith, but also bring him blacksmith stones. We tell you more about what these items are and where to find them.

Types of Blacksmith Stones

Ordinary Stones

Stones vary in levels, and the higher the level, the greater the increase in characteristics can be expected. For each subsequent weapon upgrade, you will have to look for stones of a higher level. Total in the game 9varieties of such stones, they differ in the number near the name. The stone of the first level improves the weapon up to +3, the stone of the ninth – up to +25.

Blacksmith Stones of Darkness

These stones are needed to upgrade special weapons. For example, this is issued for defeating bosses. Like ordinary stones, these are also divided into levels and generally work on the same principle. The only differences are in the rarity of the item, the number of levels (there are 10, not 9) and a slightly faster leveling.

Where you can farm blacksmith stones

Even ordinary blacksmith stones, not to mention obscurant stones, are quite rare material. From time to time you will stumble upon it, but it will take quite a long time to look for them on your own, which can greatly stretch the pumping process. Therefore, if you are ready to sacrifice the spirit of exploration for the sake of accelerating progress, then we will tell you how to collect these items most efficiently.

Blacksmith stones can usually be found in chests and on the bodies of fallen enemies . But most often they can be found in tunnels. Your goal is gold and silver crystals on their walls. Another universal way is to bring bell spheres for the Twin Old Handmaids to buy stones with runes.

Floating islands, which during a flood bring to the main lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny and the overgrown Gus River – an attraction or a dangerous problem

In the town’s lake Gus-Khrustalny, floating islands of bushes and reeds appear every year, which are brought from the mouth of the Gus River during the flood. To get rid of the problem, federal funding is needed, but for now, the authorities and entrepreneurs are forced to eliminate the floating islands on their own

The so-called floating islands, which are whole layers of thickets of reeds, sedges and small trees, have been sailing into the city lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny for many years now. The editor of the Gusev newspaper Afisha, Dmitry Sakharov, told Zebra TV that such a phenomenon has already become a kind of local “landmark”.

True, if in past years the problem was solved promptly: the authorities and local entrepreneurs cooperated and jointly “caught” floating islands from the lake, this year, according to Sakharov, the islands have been floating for about 3 weeks, and no one cares about them. And one of the islands has already moored right at the embankment, where people are used to walking and closes the whole view of the lake:

“Every year, in the spring, when the ice begins to melt, floating islands come to our city lake, which, on the one hand, have already become a local “attraction”, and on the other hand, are an accumulation of garbage and bushes. They swim along the river from the mouth and are driven by the current along the lake. In 2016, local entrepreneurs pulled out and disposed of these thickets at their own expense. They cannot be left: not only is there an accumulation of garbage, but they can take root. And the governor of the Vladimir region, Svetlana Orlova, noted that the lake is our pearl, and the head of the city of Gus-Khrustalny repeats that the lake needs to be taken care of. Now the floating islands have been floating for three weeks, and it feels like no one needs it. A few days ago, the island was swimming near the central beach, children could climb there. And now he swam right to the embankment.

Representatives of the initiative group of Gusev entrepreneurs, who last year were engaged in cleaning up the lake, told Zebra TV on condition of anonymity that they were in no hurry to start fishing for floating islands, since local officials put the problem on the back burner on the eve of the May holidays.

Activists note that the authorities, in their opinion, “do not yet take the problem seriously, since there are many other priority problems that also require immediate resolution” . At the same time, all that businessmen need to get started is the administrative assistance of the authorities, since the lake is a specially protected area and permits and environmental reviews are needed to work on it.

Gus businessmen explained to Zebra TV that the problem of floating islands that sail into the lake from the Gus River has been growing for decades:

“These islands arise due to the fact that the mouth of the Gus River is overgrown. It had to be cleaned 15-20 years ago. And now we are fighting only with the effect – these islands, and not with the cause itself. These islands – they are growing, it is a constant process. In the spring, they break away from the main land due to the fact that the water table rises. This problem has been growing not in one year, but for decades. Last year we solved it together with the city authorities, and this year the islands sailed again – even more than last year.”

Ideally, according to entrepreneurs, it is necessary not to “chop off the heads of the Hydra, which will grow back” , but to deal with the root cause – to clean the mouth and bed of the Gus River so that the islands no longer sail. But this requires large financial costs, and therefore businessmen are still ready to clean the lake regularly:

“We are ready to do this, we would like there to be synergy, so that the authorities also see this as a problem and want to solve it, and we are always ready to help. After all, the priority of other problems does not replace the presence of a problem with the lake.

The head of the city of Gus-Khrustalny, Nikolai Balakhin, said that work to scoop out floating islands from the lake, which is a favorite vacation spot for citizens, has been underway for the past 4 years. Balakhin explained to Zebra TV that at the moment the authorities are literally waiting for a fair wind:

Nikolai Balakhin

“We have three floating islands. We solve the problem in two ways. Our City Council deputies and entrepreneurs help us a lot with cleaning up the lake and the beach. We already have experience of working together to eliminate these islands. The equipment is already ready – entrepreneurs are ready to give mobile excavators. We’re not bailing it out now because we don’t want to mess up the city we cleaned up ahead of 9May. After Victory Day for a week, we are waiting for a fair wind that will drive the islands to the shore. Then we scoop them out, let the water drain, then we take them out and clean the site. We find a common language with entrepreneurs. We started to scoop out one of the islands, but the wind has changed: now one island is moored, and two are floating on the lake.”

The material of the floating islands – reeds and trees, according to the information of the head of Gus-Khrustalny, are used to reclaim landfills or backfill quarries, that is, they do not need special disposal. After the holidays, according to Balakhin, it is planned not only to catch the floating islands, but also to slightly renew the city beach with clean sand.

According to Nikolai Balakhin, it will be possible to radically solve the problem only next year. Now the administration of Gus-Khrustalny has begun preparing the necessary project documentation in order to enter the federal program for the environmental rehabilitation of rivers in 2018, under which, in the Vladimir region, for example, 7 rivers have already been cleaned up in 2016.

Recall that last year, during the governor’s visit to the reconstructed embankment on the lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny, local residents complained to Svetlana Orlova about water pollution in the central city reservoir. Then the governor Orlova reassured the residents of Gusev that the head of the city, Nikolai Balakhin, knew how to enter the federal program for cleaning up reservoirs in order to “put the pearl of glass city in order.”

“Now we are working on a project to clean up the bed of the Gus River. And in 2018, within the framework of the federal program for the ecological rehabilitation of rivers, we plan to receive funding. We have the support of Governor Svetlana Orlova and the confidence that this money will be allocated. We will clean up the river bed so that the floating islands that form in that area will no longer float into the lake. This will be a serious cleanup of the river,” emphasizes Nikolai Balakhin.

So far, the exact amount that will be needed to clean up the bed of the Gus River is unknown: it will be determined by the project documentation.

Alexander Belousov told about the secrets and legends of the ancient lake Huko

On the border of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea there is a true natural diamond – the sacred Adyghe Lake Huko. The lake is rightfully considered the pearl of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve and is the object of close attention of scientists. Among the lakes of the Western Caucasus, it stands out for its beauty, unusual location, mysterious origin and peculiar water regime. The head of the expeditionary center of the Krasnodar regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society Alexander Belousov tells about the secrets and legends of the ancient lake Huko. For 11 years now, he has been exploring reservoirs within the framework of the project, which became the winner of the national award “Crystal Compass”: “The Western Caucasus is a mountainous country of a thousand lakes.”

Lake Khuko is located on the border of the Caucasian Reserve and the watershed of the Main Range at an altitude of 1740 m between the rivers Pshekhashkha (a tributary of the Pshekhi river) and Shakhe, 7 km northwest of the town of Fisht. According to the measurements, the area of ​​this reservoir is 27,500 m2, the length is 260 m, and the width is 150 m, the maximum depth reaches 10 m. The section of the Main Range, on which the lake is located, has a peculiar morphological structure.

– The real name of the lake is Khyk’o, i.e. Hiko, but he is constantly distorted and called Huko, as is customary on most cards, or Huho, and sometimes even Foucault, – says Alexander Belousov.

Khyk’o in translation from the Adyghe means “dolphin” or “porpoise”. From a nearby peak, one can see a shape close to a dolphin in the outlines of the lake. In the northeastern part of the lake, the “dolphin ridge” is clearly visible. Another meaning of the word “hykyo” is “son of the sea”. It is believed that the lake is a remnant of an archaic sea and still has some kind of connection with the Black Sea.

– The existence of another version of the origin of the name is quite logical. Near the lake rises the mountain of the same name, which could give the name to the picturesque reservoir. For the indigenous Circassians, Khuko is a sacred lake that can save them from dry weather. The Circassians still believe that if you collect water from the lake and transfer it to the nearest stream, then after some time it will start to rain. During drought days, residents of the surrounding settlements send people to Lake Huko. The most important thing in this ritual is not to spill a single drop along the way, otherwise a severe flood may occur. Local residents believe that this is exactly what happened in 1991, when a bottle of water from the sacred lake was broken on the way to the settlement. In 2004, the staff of the reserve told me about the next pilgrimage to the lake of two mountaineers – father and son, – adds Alexander Belousov.

Highlanders believed that the spirit of the goddess Psiguashe (Psyguashche, the Circassian Maiden of Waters or the Lady of Water) lives in the lake, commanding rains and saving the local lands from drought.

And here are a few mysterious facts that were written about in the newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda” in the 80s of the XX century: “There is always some kind of magical silence reigning here, no sounds are ever heard from the side of the lake, which sometimes even frightens especially impressionable tourists. Huko is surrounded by mountain ranges, so the wind in its vicinity is also very rare. Fish do not live in cold waters and not a single stream flows out of the lake. In general, a solid mystery shrouded in darkness.” All these facts fueled increased interest in this reservoir. Until a certain time, the reservoir was little studied, and there was almost no information about it in the specialized literature.

On Lake Huko, even in summer, the shores are covered with snow, and ice floes float in the water area of ​​the reservoir. Photo: Dmitry Komarov

After several expeditions led by Deputy of the Krasnodar Regional Branch of the Russian Geographical Society Yuri Eremov, much that was previously inexplicable became clear. There is practically no life in the reservoir itself – even microscopic algae, which are found in any fresh reservoir, were not found in this lake.

– Only in the shallows near the shore one could notice individual species of rotifers, larvae of caddisflies, cladocerans and folded crustaceans common to any lake. They feed on small ducks, often floating on the surface of the water, – remembers the first explorer of the lake Yuri Efremov.

This is one of the main paradoxes of the Khuko tract. Around it – the kingdom of forest and subalpine vegetation, the basin is well lit by the sun. However, aquatic vegetation is absent here.

– Most likely, the reason lies in the harsh microclimatic conditions of this tract. In winter, a lot of snow falls – up to 4-5 m. In addition, the conditions here are extremely favorable for redeposition of snow, that is, its transfer from the steep southeastern and southern slopes to the lake basin. As a result, the snow cover persists until June, and in some seasons, floating ice floes can be seen even in July. Therefore, the water in it is cold even in summer. So in August it did not rise above 15°C. The warming of the water column is also slow. With depth, the temperature drops to 5-6°C. The bluish-green water is transparent to a depth of 6-7 m. Its mineralization is low, due to the melting of snow and precipitation. The lake is under ice and a thick layer of snow 9-10 months a year. In this regard, the conditions for the existence of fish and other living organisms are extremely unfavorable, – Alexander Belousov explains.

Another mystery of the lake is its origin. This area is included in the powerful tectonic zone of the Kurdzhip-Adler fault, which separates the Western and Northwestern Caucasus. A system of tectonic cracks stretches along the Main Range, along which erosion and frost weathering (destruction of rocks during freezing of water, melting ice and snow) actively occur. Ultimately, this basin formed.

– There is another large lake depression nearby. Within its limits, a small fading lake has been preserved. And once there was a lake twice the size of modern Huko. But it was destroyed by a breakthrough of the water flow through the thin wall of the watershed towards the river. Pshekhashkhi. Apparently, such a fate awaits Huko in the future, since on the north side of the reservoir, the bridge between it and the slope of the indicated river does not exceed 2-3 m. It must be assumed that this will not happen soon, since erosion develops very slowly in resistant rocks, – explains the researcher.

Lake Huko is unique in that it has no outflow, so it accumulates precipitation evenly (without mixing). In its bottom sediments, which are a source of information about changes in the natural environment on a geological time scale, climate changes that have occurred in the region over the past several tens of thousands of years have been recorded. In July 2016, employees of the Caucasus Reserve and the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted a joint expedition to the lake with sampling of bottom sediments and taking bathymetric measurements. The expedition was led by Nobel Prize winner, member of the expert council of the Crystal Compass national award, director of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences Olga Solomina.

Radiocarbon study of the bottom of Lake Huco, conducted in the laboratory of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences and at the American Center for Isotope Research at the University of Georgia, showed that Lake Huco (as of 2016) is 9280 years old! It turned out to be much older than expected. Some scientists believed that its age is 250-300 years. There are very few such ancient lakes in the Western Caucasus. These are Karakel in the city of Teberda, Lake Khorlakel in Western Elbrus, and now Lake Khuko.

There is another unsolved riddle connected with the lake – these are half-meter colored drawings of two fish, which are depicted on the eastern slope of the lake basin on two vertically standing megaliths. One shows a fish in color. On the second, you can also see a rock drawing, but it is impossible to see it because of the thick moss covering the stone. Ancient pictures date back to the Middle Ages, and according to some researchers they are 1000-1500 years old, and it is doubly strange why the fish is depicted where it is not found.

There are only two such color images in the Caucasus: one – the face of Christ in the mountains of Lower Arkhyz, the other – the fish of Lake Khuko. Photo: Dmitry Andreev

– There are only two such color images in the Caucasus: one – the face of Christ in the mountains of Lower Arkhyz, the other – the fish of Lake Khuko. How did they appear, who depicted them, how did colored paints survive even in the thickets of lichen that covered the old image in places? Were these ancient fish found in the lake, or were they just a figment of the imagination of an unknown artist? These questions remain unanswered for a long time. So far, there is only an assumption that the drawings on the rocks near Lake Huko were created during the period of early Christianity , – said Sergey Trepet, a leading researcher at the Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve.

Until now, the lake continues to keep its unsolved mysteries in peace and tranquility and is waiting for its explorers.

Reviews (0) Master plan Interview with developer

June 25, 2021

See all photos Cottage villages. It is located in the village of Grechukhino, Gromovsky rural settlement, Priozersky district, Leningrad region. The project has been suspended. Communications have been postponed until the summer of 2022.

Chamber village – there are only 11 plots in it. The areas start from 16 acres and reach 40 acres. Type of permitted use – DNP. All plots are located on the first line of the lake.

The communications package will include an open sewerage system, electricity (15 kW per site), a primary fire extinguishing system, as well as roads coated with granite chips (GPS). The territory of the Khrustalnaya Gavan checkpoint will be fenced, and a checkpoint with a gate will be set up at the entrance. There is a private sandy beach, to which a path leads from the checkpoint. The beach is suitable for sports games, family picnics and other activities.

Infrastructure facilities are located in nearby settlements: grocery stores operate in Krasnoarmeisky and Solovyovka, entertainment centers and restaurants in Losevo, and pharmacies, kindergartens and schools in Gromovo.

You can get to the object from St. Petersburg by your own car along the A-121 Sortavala highway (Novopriozerskoye Highway). With an average traffic load, a one-way trip takes 1 hour. At the same time, it is worth remembering possible traffic jams and laying extra time. Buses depart from Devyatkino metro station, and electric trains depart from Ploshad Lenina and Devyatkino metro stations. They stop at the Gromovo railway station, 12 km away from the village.

The sites of KP “Khrustalnaya Gavan” are located on the shore of Lake Komsomolskoye. It is used by locals as a place for fishing, swimming and water sports. In addition, the immediate surroundings are forest, where mainly pines grow. In general, the environmental situation is favorable and does not cause concern. There are no industrial enterprises and solid waste dumps nearby.

This developer has many projects for different tastes and budgets. The company copes with them quite confidently, so about Crystal Harbor we have no doubts. Buyers can take local sites without fear of a dirty trick.

This village is a purely dacha format. Far enough from St. Petersburg not to experience the harmful effects of the metropolis. Beautiful nature: a forest, a lake – and all this is at hand, no need to go anywhere else. In general, this is the charm of the Priozersky district and the advantage of many local projects. “Crystal Harbor” is just the case when everything came together very well. We also note the transport component. Most of the way to the village, the road goes along the high-speed section of the Sortavala highway – wide, with divided oncoming lanes. Only after Vuoksa a small section of the road will have to be driven along the old highway, but it is also in good condition and, moreover, it is not long to go. After turning to Krasnoarmeiskoye, the road is also quite decent. So you can drive almost to the village itself without fear for your car. Difficulties, as a rule, arise at Sortavala on weekends in the summer season, when the townspeople leave St. Petersburg for nature and return back. Sunday evening traffic jams in front of the Ring Road are common. The inhabitants of Khrustalnaya Gavan have an alternative option in case of emergency: get to the Gromovo railway station and from there take a train to St. Petersburg.

The cottage village we are considering is not an option for everyone. According to its characteristics and prices, the project is quite consistent with the business class. It is very compact, almost a club. At the same time, the plots are large – there is where to turn around to organize everything as you like, and there will be no neighbors nearby, no one will interfere with anyone. Of the shortcomings, one can only name a limited set of communications.

In terms of the cost of land, the village is included in the group of the most expensive by the standards of the Priozersky district. And given that plots in Crystal Harbor start from 16 acres, even the most modest local households will not be cheap. In the vastness of the region there are now about thirty villages, where a hundred square meters will be offered cheaper. But it is clear that not all locations are so attractive.

Sales started recently. At the end of June, out of 11 sites presented in the village, three were booked, eight were free. On Komsomolskoye Lake, options are now available in two more villages: Komsomolskoye Lake and Solovyovskie Dachas. In both cases, a hundred square meters are offered cheaper, but the plots are also mostly large, so that households also come out not very budget-friendly. More expensive than in the “Crystal Harbor”, a hundred square meters are offered in the KP “Your Bay”, which is on the banks of the Vuoksa in Losevo. There are still options on the shores of the neighboring Lake Otradnoe: in the KP Ostapovka weave is offered both cheaper and more expensive – depending on the site, and in Otradnaya Bay (another project of the FACT Cottage Villages company) prices are lower.

Academy of riders 3. Soul (SI)

In our electronic library you can read online for free the book Academy of riders 3. Soul (SI) – Anishkina Zoya, Anishkina Zoya.

Animya with a wild cry went into the bowels of my mind. I even shuddered, it was so sensitive. She closed her eyes, and then collected her thoughts and pointed to the green-eyed man in the central chair, which was empty after our departure.

Xavier looked at me and walked slowly in the direction he had set. Immediately, his step became more sedate, and his posture more crooked. The old dragon is an experienced person, he begins to prepare the rear in advance.

Will he insist that he is poor, weak and unhappy? It’s unlikely to work with me. I really know how much energy this man has. Therefore, let him not pretend to be what he is not.

Silence reigned. Everyone looked at Montesorri, then at me with obvious incomprehension, Frowning, and only one Tim looked relaxed. Trusts. Nicely.

From the realization of this, warmth spread from below. I suddenly realized that no matter who life brought me into contact with, there were very few people who truly believed in me.

Relatives are deleted immediately. Didn’t make friends. Vita is not human. Perhaps, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, grandvidera and Passion will close the list of those who did not put a spoke in my wheels. But this is also a relative conclusion.

And here I asked him to be honest with me, to be mine, and he just became. When this happens, I want to give a person a hundred times more. Let me know how valuable this is to me.

– Well, what will we talk about? As I understand it, all of you are not here to discuss the attack. The topic is so important that your conversations were carried throughout the Academy.

She glanced at people with her signature look. It had changed somewhat due to the dragon irises, but was still deadly. Are they yelling at the whole castle about the seventh policy?!

Oh, no control over them! That is OK. While such power is in my hands, I will teach them the mind-reason. You have to, even if you don’t really want to. Xavier answered:

– Remember, you once gave me a task. About a strange white spot on the maps between the desert, mountains and the sea. There is also a lake, most likely.

Emolius made a strange grunting sound. He looked at me with such a look, as if seeing me for the first time. Yes, dearest great-grandfather, I still can’t do it. Only I don’t embroider with ancient patterns, but excuse me here. Who studied for whom.

Montessori wasn’t surprised at all. I think he either suspected or knew something a long time ago. He is at the Academy someone like Johnson’s faith with his collection of fairy tales and dragons. Just don’t advertise your knowledge. He answered cautiously:

– I remember.

Rolled her eyes and looked at him in annoyance. Dear Academician! What kind of circus performance are you doing here?

– Academician Montessorri, spare my time and nerves. Let’s not pretend to be a great intriguer here. Spread it. And I, perhaps, will paint your story with my guesses.

The man pursed his lips and made such an expression on his face that it became clear that he was just getting ready for a special performance and wanted to impress. And indeed:

– You don’t respect old age at all. You deprive the old man of his last joy. But anyway, I’ll start.

His grumbling left no one indifferent except me. I was ready for such attacks. Boring, predictable and trivial. Nothing new. She crossed her arms in front of her and waited for the beginning.

The rest of the impatience almost stretched their heads out of their necks, but did not dare to break our dialogue. Yes, even our Supremes, who seemed to be interested in investigating the seventh policy in a special way. I would like to know why.

Xavier Montesorri cleared his throat, shifted in his chair, savoring his moments of glory, and finally began. And then I already thought that I would grow old here.

– A long time ago, I noticed that there are a lot of strange legends about a place called the Valley of the Lake. This lake is also called Khrustalny.

Frozen. I did not know such legends. Age still makes itself felt at such moments. Although, what is there, I simply had no one to tell these legends. My childhood was a little… peculiar.

Praise be to the ruling saints, no one was in a hurry to interrupt the academician. And thanks for that. He continued:

– This place is shrouded in a heap of secrets, and it would undoubtedly remain only a legend, if somehow in class one overly stubborn and diligent adept did not point out to me a curious anomaly.

It was my turn to be surprised. So I kind of became the catalyst for his interest in the location of the seventh policy? Yes, okay. .. She quietly said:

– I don’t believe it, Academician. Are you pushing your own interest onto me? Seriously?

He shook his head in annoyance and changed his tone. Finally. And then at such a pace we will sit here for several days:

‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‍– Imagine, adept Sicil! I heard about this place, I knew its descriptions, but I never received confirmation of its existence. And here you are with your questions, and I decided to delve into the problem.

He took a breath and continued:

– Indeed, a place on the border of three policies: Solitdara, Monstdara and Ihtramar, very remote from people, fits the description of Crystal Lake. I can only assume that what you are looking for is in there. The only question is what is it about.

Oh. I can’t stand it when adult uncles turn on the imbial. Me too! He heard screams, but what they shouted – no! But I don’t think I’m the only one who lost patience today. Passy exclaimed:

– Don’t pull the dragon for you know what! Seventh policy! What can you say about the seventh policy?

The academician frowned. Well, yes, here you are not a handful of subordinate adherents. Here a star sits on a star and drives the Supreme Ruler. You just won’t get through.

– I think this is where the policy really is. I heard this one a couple of times,” he pointed towards Emolius, “talking about freedoms and the possibility of creating a wonderful place. A couple of times he let slip about his own house. I concluded that the venerable former rector did not live in one of the six policies. Then the question arose where, well, and …

He spread his hands, looking at me. To be honest, I expected more. Weak guesses. But it will. I started:

– I’m sure this policy is there. I saw this place in the labyrinth room where my great-grandfather was kept, he confessed to me himself. I also think that the third crystal dragon lives in this lake. Or the first. In general, Spiraea and its location, most likely, is the great secret of the seventh policy. He puts these special blocks. And they are led by someone special.

Silence reigned. Everyone digested what was said. We thought and pondered, and in their eyes I saw how important the topic has become for all of us. After I resolve the issue with the killer in Solitdar, I will certainly go to visit my colleagues, so to speak.

I think Anima would be glad to see her brother. It is so? Silence was my answer. I met my grandmother’s eyes and realized from her eyes that almost everything that was said was on point. Well, great. She was about to ask who else had any thoughts when Eva raised her hand and stood up.

Looking straight into my eyes, she calmly said:

– I’m pretty sure that when you talk about the ruler of the seventh polis, it’s about my mother. Tris and Tobias know her well and used to communicate actively before I showed up.

Chapter 32. Mimi

Wow. I did not expect such a turn. So here’s the thing! That’s for whom such a panic and a desire to get all the information out of the granny. What can I say, I understand.

– Therefore, I ask you to interrogate Minerva Liberadar.

Twenty-five again! She rolled her eyes. Who is talking about what, but the unloved and abandoned child is about the mother. The mystery of mother Eva Ovayo is the mystery of the century. The most famous horsewoman in the world, the star of circus shows! An unsurpassed and chic woman who suddenly disappeared at the very peak of her career.

Her main fan was sitting here right now. In Museonis, Passius set aside a whole huge cave to honor his beloved. There, Eva realized that she was not really an orphan.

I’m a 33-year old ICU RN who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and I make $192,000.

: MoneyDiariesACTIVE

I realize how wordy I am, with how long this is, so I hope reading it isn’t too time-consuming 🙂

Basic Info:

Occupation: Registered Nurse

Location: SF Bay Area (Peninsula)

Salary: $192,000

Section One: Assets and Debts:

Retirement: $120,000 (avoiding looking at it now, due to the drop in the stock market. Trying to keep my sanity :))

Pension: $150,000 (my workplace is one of the few to offer this, and it really incentivizes you to stay there for a while)

Checking account: $4,000 ish

Savings: I have a few, it’s my way of keeping positivity and hoping to one day buy a house, albeit it most likely won’t be in the Bay, since it’s so expensive here.

CD (for house) :$30,377 (initially put in $30k last year, with a 1.75% APY)

Big savings: $26,602 (my husband contributes $150 a paycheck towards this, for clarity) ( I will transfer this to a CD once the one above matures and combine them)

Emergency fund: $2478. 00

Vacation Fund: $1662.00

Monthly Income: Pre-tax

$15,000-$15,500 a month, pre-tax

$7500-$8000 take home, after taxes and retirements

(I work nights, so on top of base pay, there is a 16% differential, 5% on top of that if you work weekends, of which we are required to do 4-5 a month, and an additional $2.50 if you are the charge nurse, which I do about 5 times per month. I also get a $41.53 per paycheck specialty certification reimbursement, which technically covers the cost of taking a certification test and maintaining it via CEUs). I also, during non-COVID-19 times, teach at my hospital, around 12 hours a month, which is additional pay.

Monthly Costs:

Rent: $3230 (Our two-bedroom apartment, includes $50 cat rent per month)

Credit Card Debt: $0. I have two credit cards from Chase; my personal one is the Chase Sapphire Reserve (i.e. my green card) and my husband and I split the Chase Sapphire Preferred (i. e. the blue card). I/we pay off the balance each month. I’d say that my personal card is about $2000.00 a month and the shared card is in the area of $1400-$1700.

Annual Fees: Green Card -$450, although it is going up to $550 in July when it renews. Ugh.

Blue Card: $95, goes through at end of April

Student Loans: About $10,436 left. I pay over the minimum every month, about $300 total, to finish off nursing school loans and a little bit left of graduate school loans.

403b: Usually around $1800-$2000 a month, dependent on checks, they usually differ a little.

457b: Flat $25. Why not? haha

Pension with workplace match: $500-$600 month

Health Insurance (for my husband and I): $405.00

Vision and Dental Insurance: Covered by employer, $0.

Union Dues: $140.00

Short-term disability: $44.00 (I am accident, bone-breaking prone. Oops)

Savings Distribution:

House Fund: $2200 month/ $300 from husband (he has a lot of debt that he is working through, and there is a large difference in income)

Emergency Fund: $600/month

Vacation Fund: $400/month

Car insurance: $0/month right now, as I paid it in a 6-month chunk, equates to about $70/month

Wifi: $100. 00 month (I pay for all of this)

PG & E, Electric and Gas :Ranges from $65 in the summer to $350.00 in winter (I pay for all of this). Makes me very ragey, that they don’t seem to have a reason and they are shady. PG&E is the major utility in Northern California, and they are responsible for multiple fires that have plagued us each year for the past few years, especially the Camp Fire, that killed so many people.I hate them and don’t have a utility choice.

Conservice: Water, Sewer, Garbage: $150ish (I pay for all of this)

Spotify Family $15.00 (Covers myself, husband, and best friend. You can add up to 5 people!)

Netflix: $8.99 (My husband and I split this)

HBO: $14.99 (split with my sister)

T-Mobile Cell Phone: $97.00

Medication for my cat: $150.00. He has an autoimmune disorder and he requires immunosuppression pills daily.

Donations:

$20/month to the Wild at Heart Foundation, out of the UK. They rescue dogs from terrible abuse situations and help to place them. Please google Maggie the Wonder Dog to find out more! I’ll usually throw another $20 at them if they are having a drive or a specific pet need.

$20/month for Beagle Freedom Project: They rescue beagles that are subject to laboratory testing and place them in homes and rehabilitate them. They also have acute needs for emergency rescues, so I will donate to them when they need money urgently, usually also $20.

$20/month to The Odd Cat Sanctuary: Helping to place cats that have disabilities and/or were at kill shelters. They do great work.

As you can tell, I love animals. I want to help as many as I can; please check out their instagrams (all of them have the names of their foundations) and help them if they seem good to you!

Patreon: $7/month. I subscribe to/support Christine McConell, who is basically a spooky Martha Stewart. She’s incredible.

Random other things:

2 Wine Clubs (Every 3 months): $250 total; I get 6 bottles of wine total from 2 different wineries. This also allows me to get “free (i.e. included)” tastings at both of these wineries, which are local.

Day One:

0845: I wake up without an alarm, which I find to be so relaxing during this time. Since I am leaving the house once a day, to run, I don’t feel the need to wake up at a certain time. It’s really relaxing. I scroll my phone to check my emails, reply to a few group texts I’m in (nursing co-workers, group of my running friends, my parents) and obviously go through Instagram.

0945: Coffee via Nespresso, and an egg and cheese in a tortilla. Not sure if that qualifies as a burrito, but I’ll take it. I don’t love eggs so much but I am trying to eat more of them, as they are healthy and I’ve read that they are good for women trying to conceive. After this, I take two gummy prenatal vitamins and two Calcium gummy vitamins.

12:00: After finishing up on some YouTube, I putz around the house some more, and bug my husband while he works from home.

13:30: Head out to get some fresh air and go on a 4-mile run on the pavement. I am 99% normally a trail runner, but there isn’t a lot of space to be 6 feet apart on the trails, and it upsets me a lot that people aren’t being serious about it. It makes it easier for me to move if we are on the streets. I relish the sunshine and am so happy that it isn’t raining.

15:00: After running, I shower and eat some lunch, plus put some laundry in. Wow, I’m exciting.

16:00 I go out onto the porch and start to read “The Nightingale”, that I’ve had for years and never got around to reading. It’s really good and I’m devouring it, while listening to the French Indie channel on Spotify (really great background music). My husband brings me some beer from a local place, Blue Oak Brewing, and we split one of their sour IPA crowlers.

19:00: We make dinner, some fried chicken (a Paula Deen recipe that we make about once a year because it is way too salty and delicious for my own good) and butternut squash cubes. We watch some YouTube channels that are focused on trail running.

21:00: V gets his cat medication

22:00: Bed time, after getting through more of The Nightingale.

Day One: $0

08:30: Wake up, check phone. I make a double espresso, plus Eggo waffles with peanut butter, and settle into my book. I find out that my one cat likes to eat peanut butter, when I catch him trying to steal my eggo. I then sob into my book, at the end, and am so happy that I read it. I am interested to see if any of it lines up with any real history, so maybe I’ll look into it soon.

10:40: Watched a little bit of my favorite running channel, Run Steep Get High, and the founder of the channel is running a marathon distance on a helipad. Gotta get the miles in somehow, right? Also, I logged onto the “T-Mobile Tuesdays” app and found out that their promotion is a free year-long subscription to a Hearst brand magazine! I got my favorite magazine, Country Living.

11:30: I do a 10-mile run with 1500 feet of elevation gain on the roads, which is pretty good! I explored a neighborhood that I have not been to before, due to avoiding the pavement. The weather is great and fresh, and I am happy.

14:00: My husband, J, and I go to Safeway. It’s not too crowded, and it’s randomly out of eggs. I see a lot of people wearing N95 and paper masks and gloves. We just get our grocery shopping done and are out in 30 minutes. We get: White rice, coconut milk, curry paste, sweet peas, salt, 2 cadbury eggs, 3 bags of Reese’s eggs (they are our favorite and we freeze them), garbanzo beans, sour cream Ritz crackers, BBQ Ritz crackers, strawberry fig bars, a 12-pack of coke, three Aha! Fizzy waters, a 6-pack of mini ginger ales, apple sauce, pumpkin puree, 2 Rockstar energy drinks, orange marmalade, stain remover spray for laundry, string cheese, provolone cheese, cheddar cheese, a gallon of milk, tater tots, light cottage cheese, yogurt, hamburger buns, ground beef, broccoli, blueberries, 1 lime, ginger root, bananas, 2 avocados, 5 nectarines, 2 Perfect bars, one bottle of Band of Roses rose, and one bottle of my favorite rose, Miraval! Phew. We are making everything at home, and it’s a lot. Total: $191.78

18:00 J makes dinner; we have cheeseburgers and tater tots with a glass of rose. I swear I eat healthy some of the time, haha. We end up watching a movie about the Western States 100 race and then I start a book, “The Vacationers”. I’m going to get all of these unread books read during this shelter in place!

21:00 Immunosuppression V. Thank god for whoever invented the Pill Popper.

22:00: Snooooooooze.

Day 2: $191.78

Day 3

08:00: Wake up, browse stuff. I got paid today, woo hoo! Get out of bed, have a fizzy water and an Eggo. No coffee for me until tonight when I go to work. I browse Madewell’s website and see that their jeans are on sale for $75 each! I put them in my bag and then log off. Virtual version of window shopping 🙂

10:00: Walk the rent payment over to the drop box and start my run. The rent box is duct taped open, and I appreciate that I don’t have to touch it. J and I split the rent in different ways; I pay $1830 and he pays $1400, commensurate to our salaries. $3230.00

11:00: 4 miles (oh so slowly) done, hop into the shower and wash my hair for the first time in a few days. I am super blonde and I am trying to preserve the dye as much as I can by not washing as much. I miss my hairstylist!

11:30: I pay our water/sewer/garbage bill via the phone. The company is not run very well, and there were several times in the last year when my payments did not go through online, nor did they go through via the mail. This is the only way that I know it’ll get done. $162.62

12:00: Get back into bed for a few-hour nap. I’m worried about my mom; She is a nurse in a different state. She was told that there were no hours for her (since she works in occupational health-doing things like fitting people for N95 masks, giving flu vaccinations, etc), but they won’t fire her, so she can’t file for unemployment. I’m quite worried and trying to think about how I can help them financially. Ugh.

15:00 Wake up after having a nightmare that one of my cats died. I never have dreams or nightmares during this nap, so it’s weird. I wake up, sautee some eggplant with parmesan cheese on top. Almost an eggplant parm.

18:00: I leave for work. I’ve majorly adjusted what I bring with me; I only bring my license and one credit card, in a ziploc bag. I bring an extra pair of clothes to change into after work. I bring my lunch in a disposable bag, using disposable utensils (I have reusable ones I normally use), and don’t bring in my water bottle or coffee mug. I bring my keys without keychains, with just a car key and house key. Leave my sunglasses and glasses in the car (always bring my glasses in case my contacts go bad). I also put sandals in my car to wear while driving.

22:00 Eat some pumpkin curry on my lunch break, and buy a Cherry Diet Coke from the cafe downstairs. $1.37

02:00 I am hungry and sleepy so I grab some jalapeño pop corners and a diet Dr Pepper. My pt is “critically stable” and requires the care of two nurses, so we just split all of the responsibilities all night. Do vital signs, dialysis numbers every hour, multiple device numbers every hour (the pt is on a few supportive devices), labs, etc. Total $3.10

04:30 Long break zzzz

07:45 Get home from work. Usually it takes me about an hour to get home, but during Covid times, it’s a solid 28 minutes. If I’ve got to be at work, I’ll surely take this as a consolation prize. I wipe down my car with bleach wipes, as well as my phone, name badge, keys, and air pods. Then I throw my scrubs in the wash (already changed into sweats before I left the hospital) and take a shower and scrub myself clean.

09:00 good night.

Day Three total: $3.397.09. Oy.

Day 4

16:45: Wake up a little earlier than I had planned, shower, drink coffee, watch news with my husband.

18:00:Drive to work, no traffic, yay

19:00: Start work, with the same patient. Do hand off with day shift nurses, check off the 10-ish IV drips that are running, plus the dialysis machine, and 3 other supportive devices that the patient is on. Same partner to take care of the patient, and we settle into our respective tasks for the night.

21:30: Our delivery boba order arrived! We ordered from Little Sweet, which their flavors are OK but I want to try a new place next time. Our unit is full of boba fans, so we usually end up ordering like 10 at a time. I order a Rose High Mountain Tea with added boba & 25% sweet. $8.18 for tip/delivery fee

0200: Fairly busy night, but glad to be at work. Still feeling very cautious and scared about COVID. My hospital requires us to wear paper masks while we are at work, to try and minimize everyone making each other sick. My loops start to really hurt my ears 🙁

04:30: Break time! I go to the snack machine and get a Diet Dr. Pepper and jalapeno pop corners again. $3.10

07:00 Drive home, yay!

09:00: ZzZzZz

Daily total: $11. 28

Day 5

16:30 : Wake up for work, shower again, and get dinner ready. I put on some casual clothes and put my dinner into disposable packaging (Bay Area cringe, so used to reusing haha). Brew a Nespresso coffee and drive to work.

18:45: Fill out my pre-work questionnaire. It asks if I have had any symptoms, traveled, or had contact with any Covid + people. Also they’ve added the question if we work with immunocompromised patients, which I do (heart and lung transplants). I pass and go into work, collecting my one paper mask that I will wear for 12 hours. I get changed into hospital scrubs and start my last shift of the week.

22:00 Dinner time! We were surprised by a local Berkeley bakery, Starter Bakery. They’ve donated a ton of fresh baked goods and I almost tear up when I eat my pain au chocolat. It’s so kind of them to think of us, and on night shift, at that! We get forgotten sometimes.

04:30 : Break time. I have made a headband to attach my mask to, since I am getting sores on the back of my ears. It helps a lot.

07:00: Drive home, get into a fight with my husband as soon as I get home. It’s my fault, since I’m extra snappy these days (I don’t want to be) and then we make up and I take a bath and go to bed.

(Cutting this off as Day 5, since I was off of work at that time).

Day 5 total: $0

Day Six:

14:00 Wake up and drink a Coke to pep me up. I make a lunch of cottage cheese, a peach, and some hamburger buns with peanut butter and jelly (I want to use all of our food). Do some laundry, and give our cat his multiple medications.

16:00 I watch a few videos about Covid, that cite a study done in Wuhan, in the hospitals and public spaces. The evidence suggests that the virus is both airborne and droplet. Yay. :/ (not actually a yay).

17:00: Start a 4.5 hour long happy hour with J’s fraternity brothers and their spouses. We are spread all across the country and don’t get to see each other often, and I forget how much I miss all of them. We talk about everything and everyone brings their pets out (we show off our cats!). We make a pizza and drink a 32 oz crowler (can growler, I never heard of it before), aptly titled Social Media Distancing IPA, from Blue Oak Brewing. Fall asleep at 22:00.

Day 6: $0

Day 7:

0945: Slept with some random dreams, but for a loooong time. Switching back to daylight hours is hard, and it’s been a little easier with our current shelter in place order, since I don’t have anywhere to be.

11:00 I made a pot of Prestogeorge’s Organic Haitian Blue coffee (from Pittsburgh, PA-check them out!) and eat a cinnamon roll. Browse YouTube and watch a Vanity Fair interview with Kim Kardashian, about the prison reform work and what she’s involved in. I’m no Kardashian fan, but I was impressed and glad that something good is coming from it.

12:00 Start on my 6-mile trail run. It’s pouring rain and that really keeps the extra people off of the trails. It’s been making me so sad to avoid the trails, but I know that they will be crowded during the day and there’s not enough places to be 6 feet apart at all times. Only one family let their kids walk towards me, without observing the 6-foot rule. Another opportunity for education.

13:30 Bath time and a fizzy water.

16:00: We start to watch Ozark, since I’ve heard that a lot of people are watching it. I’m feeling so-so on it, and it feels like a cheap Breaking Bad. There’s just something about it that doesn’t click for me.

18:00: We make dinner (tacos, plus chips and guac) and log onto Zoom for a happy hour with our run club! I miss them all so much. We live in the same town and haven’t been able to see each other, due to social distancing, and it makes me sit and think about how much I really see them every week. It ends up being about 4 times per week, and they’re all such a big part of my life. We talk about running, working from home, and making bread (it’s the new popular thing!). We log off eventually and then go to bed. I’m a bit sad tonight.

Daily Total: $0

Weekly Total:

Food: $207.53

Living Costs: $3230.00 (rent) and 162.62 (water, sewage, garbage)= $3394.62

Total costs: $3602.15

Reflections:

This definitely wasn’t a normal week, at all. We didn’t go out and do anything fun, or even go to Target and browse around. Who knew that I would miss going to Target and looking at nothing?

We bought more food than we normally do, but we are obviously making every meal at home. It’s a little shocking to see the big number when you’re at the checkout, but then it makes sense after processing it all.

Work was pretty normal too, which was a relief. The world still turns and people are still really sick from non-COVID things. There were just a few more things that made it difficult to go into work (constantly wearing a mask, being questioned about symptoms) but then there was no traffic so I am going to be so grateful for that every day!

At this time, I wasn’t feeling too cooped up or anything, but I can definitely say that I am now, while editing this. I go from feeling ok to feeling really bummed, and I think mostly everyone is like that too.

Registered Nurse Salary in California – 2022

FIND NURSING SCHOOLS

Salary Growth Projection (2022-2026)

RN salary growth in the state of California is expected to follow the previous years’ trends. In fact, in 2022, RNs across the state will earn an average of $124,000 annually. Factors that will drive salary increases for RNs in California vary, but supply versus demand is by far the biggest contributor. Many employers struggle to find skilled nurses, and they are willing to pay their RNs more each year. What’s more, information from the California Board of Registered Nursing suggests that the number of RN graduates has been on the decline in recent years, which means there are fewer people entering the field despite higher demand.

2023 $132,870 $4,590 3.58%

  • Top 10 Places For A Nurse To Live

    Photo by Victoriano Izquierdo on Unsplash

    Nurses’ salaries vary greatly depending on where they live in the United States due to several factors, including the cost of living. After finishing nursing school, a major decision for a nurse to make is whether to relocate. A nurse will need to ask questions, such as:

    • Is a state with a high average nursing salary important?
    • Is a state with a nurse-friendly hospital important?
    • Is a state with a lot of job availability important?

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted the average salary for a registered nurse was $68,450 for the year 2016. The highest 10 percent earn over $102,000, and the lowest 10 percent earn less than $47,000. Obviously, a nurse’s ideal salary should factor into the decision on where he or she wants to work.

    Job Openings, Salaries, and Other Statistics

    A report by Wallet Hub revealed there are several factors used to determine what makes a location a good or bad place for a nurse to live. For starters, consider job availability. Moving to a state with the highest average nurse salary will not do a nurse any good if there are not any job openings.

    Utah, Hawaii, Mississippi, New York, and Washington have the lowest job availability for a nurse, while the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Vermont offer the highest number of job openings. Wyoming, Nevada, Michigan, Texas, and Arizona, on the other hand, offer the highest annual nursing salary, while Maryland, New York, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii offer the lowest annual salary.

    The issue is a state with the highest job availability offers the lowest salary and the state with the highest salary offers the lowest job availability a large portion of the time. So, a nurse needs to decide if job availability or salary is a more important factor.

    The following are the best places for nurses to live in 2018.

    1. San Francisco, California

    According to Nurse.org, San Francisco always makes the top of the list as an ideal place for nurses to call home. The medical industry in the area offers a generous salary that more than covers the cost of living. As an added bonus, the convenient transportation options make it easy to save money on commuting.

    2. Dallas or Houston, Texas

    Top RN to BSN ranks three different hospitals in the state of Texas among the top 30 most nurse-friendly hospitals in the country. If a supportive work environment is at the top of a nurse’s must-have list, Dallas or Houston, Texas, are ideal places to call home.

    3. Boston, Massachusetts

    Boston offers nurses the highest pay scale anywhere along the East Coast of the United States. The city offers a lot of job opportunities for nurses interested in teaching or researching medication.

    4. New York City, New York

    For someone who does not mind the pace of a busy city, New York City, New York, is a dream location for nurses. Littered with high-quality nursing facilities, New York City has a lot to offer.

    5. Baltimore, Maryland

    Typically, a nurse moves to Baltimore with the dream of working at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The annual salary for nurses in this state is $65,280. This is nearly twice the average annual cost of living in the state for a single adult, which is $33,994.

    6. Honolulu, Hawaii

    The Hawaii Health Systems Corporation plans to invest millions of dollars into the health care industry over the next few years. This should open additional job availability. Ideally, a nurse should not move to Hawaii until after locking into a nursing job. While it is a wonderful place to live and work, there is a bit of a job shortage presently.

    7. Anchorage, Alaska

    The high turnover rate in the city of Anchorage results in a steady flow of nursing job opportunities. However, it isn’t an ideal choice for a nurse fresh out of medical school. The health facilities in this city only hire nurses with job experience.

    8. Los Angeles, California

    Like San Francisco, Los Angeles offers a desirable annual salary and convenient public transportation.

    9. Seymour, Indiana

    Seymour is home to the most nurse-friendly hospital in the United States. Schneck Medical Center was a recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award a few years ago for going above and beyond with quality standards.

    10. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Philadelphia is home to a wealth of job opportunities for nurses. As home to one of the biggest children’s hospitals in the United States, there is always a demand for pediatric nurses.

    3. Average salary in the USA 2022

    Residents of Russia often have a desire to know what is the average salary in the United States? Thinking about immigration, looking for work abroad, or just an interest in comparing living standards in different countries can cause such a question. At the same time, it is important to understand that incomes are always formed on the basis of the state of the economy of a particular region and even a city. A noticeable difference is due to the number of inhabitants, solvency, supply and demand of services. As an example, you can take any region of the Russian Federation and compare earnings for the same professions or positions among residents of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod or any other city.

    In the article, we will figure out how wages are formed in the United States, taking into account taxation, consider popular professions, incomes and unemployment rates in individual regions. This will be useful not only for those who want to change their place of residence, but also for those who want to learn something new, understand what kind of earnings Americans have and what is the difference between the wage system in the Russian Federation and the United States.

    Average earnings by profession 2022

    For American citizens, it is not customary to “measure” wages by a monthly salary. Usually, they immediately indicate the annual amount or the hourly rate. This approach allows you to better understand the prospects or more easily account for income based on hours worked, rather than days or months. This is convenient, since most of the working conditions provide for a “floating” work schedule, extra pay for overtime, which also applies to civil servants. Consider, using the example of a table, what is the average salary in the United States per year. We will pay attention to the professions and positions that foreigners can get.

    Importance of the position

    The amount of income determines the position. Even with identical education and experience, different “money” may be offered for specialists, taking into account the vacancy. For example, the average salary of a programmer in the USA is listed in the table at 90 thousand dollars a year. However, in practice, most of the representatives of this profession earn within 60 thousand, taking into account the deduction of taxes.

    Getting the best position “just because”, especially for an immigrant or temporary worker, will not work. As in any other system, you need to work hard, take the initiative. But in some cases, even this may not be enough due to competition. The American dream, when an immigrant with “empty pockets” becomes successful, is achievable only by a few. Most have been in the same positions for decades. But sometimes, conscientious performance of work for a long period of time is enough. For example, the salary of a doctor in the United States with a specialized specialty exceeds $150,000 per year.

    Danger of the profession

    Income is also determined by the “danger” of the profession. Here we are talking not so much about the dangers of production, but as about the possibility of violent death in the service. Of course, unhealthy working conditions are taken into account. An increased rate is provided, means of protection, additional benefits are provided. One of the most dangerous jobs in America is law enforcement. This is due to the permission to carry weapons, which often causes street shootings. Given the risks, the salary of a police officer in the United States is twice the average. Plus, social protection is provided, including a lifetime pension for the family of the deceased.

    Monthly income, USD

    The wage system in the United States of America differs significantly from the scheme that exists in our country. Therefore, income for one calendar month must be calculated by yourself. Divide your annual salary by 12. Hourly pay is even more difficult. Standard working hours per week are 35-47 hours. At the same time, you need to take into account that the rate for different shifts and days is different. It is also impossible to guarantee that all days will be worked.

    Monthly wages in the US are based on hours worked. In factories and in the service sector, weekly output can reach 60 hours. Such schedules are available both in lower positions that do not require technical or higher education, and in leadership positions. For some, this is an opportunity to get “extra money”, and for others – to climb one more step in the career ladder.

    According to statistics, in the first half of 2022, residents of the United States earned an average of $4,300 per month. Importantly, the average salary in the US per month in dollars increases by 5-6% every year.

    Salary by individual states (regions)

    The level of income of Americans differs markedly from the region in which they work and live. The key factor in this matter is the supply and demand for jobs, as well as for services and goods. The difference in some cases is so palpable that many commute to work in neighboring states, and the costs and time spent on the road more than compensate for the “big money”. Large cities with well-developed infrastructure and tourism are richer by 75%. Consider the example of a table that shows the average salary in the United States per month, taking into account a specific region.

    State

    5850

    Colorado

    California

    New York

    7250

    Massachusetts

    Lowest median income states

    An average income of over $5,000 a month is common, but not for every state. The region with the lowest wages at the beginning of 2022 was the state of Mississippi with an average monthly salary of $3,750. In second place is Arkansas with an income of $4,250. West Virginia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Mossad, Missouri and Maine also differ slightly in statistical income. In other states, this figure exceeds $4,300.

    Minimum rate, $/hour

    According to official data, the minimum rate in USD per hour in 2022 is $7.25. There is also a lower bar, set separately by each state. Unlike the rate set at the federal level, it can change not only up, but also down. Pay for one hour of work is tracked everywhere, even by those who work on a stable daily schedule – 5/2 and have a fixed annual salary.

    Despite the presence of a minimum wage fixed by federal law, there are a number of positions where payment is allowed less than the established limit. Low salaries receive:

    • Nurses and nannies.

    • Students on a part-time job that does not provide for a full-time job.

    • Agricultural workers.

    • Couriers, packers, seasonal “advertisers” and animators.

    • Positions outside the US.

    To a greater extent, this is due to simple requirements and responsibilities, as well as the presence of tips, which make up the bulk of earnings. In the case of work outside the territory of America, everything depends on the economy of the region and the specifics of the work, for example, seafarers on foreign ships.

    How much can a migrant earn and how to get a job?

    The average salary in the US in rubles for the average resident of Russia seems huge. And this is so, if you do not take into account the cost of living, the price of food, services, clothing, household items, entertainment, etc. Despite this, every year millions of foreigners come to America with the illusion of getting rich quick. As a result, the standard of living for many “does not reach” the average, and the accumulated funds become tangible capital only upon returning home. Even in the best scenario, savings are not enough to start a carefree life.

    How to find a job?

    Finding a job in America is easy. Since the country’s economy is largely built on hired labor and immigrants, there are several ways to get a job. The easiest is to contact special agencies. They will “charge” an additional fee on top of the cost of documents, but will help with everything, including accommodation. In such cases, they usually earn more from you than you do yourself. It’s easier for those who know the language. They can get a job through the exchange or directly to the employer, so they will get better conditions. To search for vacancies, there are employment exchanges and company websites.

    How can I get a job?

    1. Officially . It is better to always choose formal employment, which provides for basic social and medical guarantees. Plus, you will also receive a “white” income, have protection from fraud.

    2. Illegal . Illegal employment attracts many because of the higher wages. But few people realize that it rises due to the lack of insurance payments, the exclusion of part of the tax collection. As a result, in case of an injury, you will have to pay for everything yourself, and medicine in America is quite expensive. In addition, they often initially promise one income, but you get a completely different one. It will also not be possible to object without a formal contract and social guarantees.

    How much can you earn?

    The average salary in the United States, after taxes, for migrants is lower than what citizens of the country can expect. The only exceptions are in-demand professions or specialists. If we take available positions, then the income is $ 2000-3000. Here you need to take into account that rates and output are different, but in general terms, minus mandatory expenses, the free amount does not exceed $ 1000.

    Who can get a job?

    More often, immigrants apply for the simplest vacancies that are uninteresting to most local residents:

    • Pickers . For such a specialty, they may not even require knowledge of the language. The essence of the work is the assembly of goods in production, in logistics centers.

    • Loaders . In America, moving is a frequent occurrence, so a loader is considered one of the most common vacancies among migrants.

    • Babysitters and nurses . It all depends on the qualifications of experience and luck. Generous families pay good tips for quality work.

    • Cleaners . More often than not, the minimum rate is offered, due to too much competition and the simplicity of duties.

    • Waiters . Earnings are “tied” to tips. Usually, the official rate is several times less than the “minimum wage”. But qualifications, language, experience and attractive appearance can help you get a good job.

    • Deliveries . Courier delivery of various goods both on foot and by transport. More often it is correspondence, parcels, orders. The main income is tips.

    US Minimum Wage 2022

    In America, there is a “minimum wage rate (MSW)”, which implies hourly wages. In terms of annual pay, the lowest full-time income would be $10,000 or more. If you take into account the rate of $ 7.25 per hour, then the amount should be higher, but in the USA there is another lower limit for low-skilled workers:

    • $4.25/hour – interns and teenagers under 20 years old.

    • $2.13/hour – jobs where the main income comes from tips: waiters, bartenders, couriers.

    Against this background, you can consider what is the salary of a teacher in the United States. A teacher receives from 42,000 dollars a year. Income begins to increase after 5 years of experience by 1.5–4% annually. This example shows the attitude towards civil servants and laborers. Such a problem is created by increased demand and hundreds of thousands of migrants from neighboring poor countries, Asia and Africa.

    US taxes in 2022

    The taxation system in America is very different from the scheme used in Russia. They do not have a fixed income tax. Taxes are paid on a scale of increase in % of earned funds. It is also important that most Americans need to pay their own taxes by filing income declarations. On the one hand, such a system is simpler and allows you to “take” less from those who earn less. At the same time, the absence of a “minimum bar” does not improve the lives of those who already lack funds. Consider taxes on average salaries in the United States using the example of a table:

    Rate in %


    Income per person in US$


    Household income in US$

    ten

    Up to 10275

    Up to 20550

    12

    10276–41775

    20551–83550

    22

    41776–89075

    83550–178150

    24

    89076–170050

    178151–340100

    32

    170051–215950

    340101–431900

    35

    215951–539900

    431901–647850

    37

    From 539901

    From 647851

    It seems that after taxes, the average salary in the US does not change much, but this is not the case. The value of every dollar is felt, especially if the standard of living is average or lower. With the exception of mandatory expenses, many people do not have money for savings.

    How are taxes calculated in the USA?

    Everyone, including migrants, is required to pay taxes on their earned income in America. The status of a tax resident is received by all citizens and living in the country for more than 180 days. The exceptions are diplomats, medical patients and students. You can study in the United States for up to 5 years with a tax-free status. At the same time, there is a non-taxable minimum – $ 12,950 for singles and $ 25,900 for married couples. It implies the first income that can be received in different parts and at different times, the whole amount is considered.

    Who collects taxes?

    The funds are collected by the IRS. The completed application must be submitted by April 18th. Usually, the employer is responsible for withholding and paying, but you can do it yourself. If you pay by yourself, you have a chance to save. If the voluntary contribution option is selected, it immediately includes all mandatory contributions. Let’s look at them in a table:

    Federal income tax

    10-37% depending on income level.

    State Income Tax

    0-10% as fixed or contingent income, as well as federal tax for each state.

    Social Security

    6.2% of the salary with a voluntary contribution by the employer, who also pays 6.2%. 12.4% for entrepreneurs.

    Medical assistance

    1.45% basic medical fee, not including insurance that can “expand” the treatment budget.

    Local taxes

    Additional deductions by decision of the county, city or district.

    There are also gift and inheritance taxes, customs duties, excise duties and corporate tax.

    US unemployment in 2022

    Despite the reforms, there are many people in the States who do not have the opportunity, and sometimes the desire, to work. At the same time, in 2022 their number decreased from 4.8% to 3.6%. Both reforms and the redirection of significant resources to production, the military-industrial complex in order to upgrade and increase weapons, caused by recent events, made it possible to improve the indicator.

    US cost of living

    The average salary in the US in dollars is 4300 per month. At the same time, this is not an indicator of the prosperity of the entire nation. About 100 million people in the country do not have housing or even bank accounts. Many live on borrowed funds, which are “covered” by the salary, and the new month has to be started again with credit debts. The problem lies in the high prices of accommodation, as well as the need to pay for everything. At the same time, food items, including food, are inexpensive. A used car in relatively good condition can be bought for a “ridiculous” price, by Russian standards. This is due to a glut of offers in the car market.

    How much do you need to earn for a good life in the US?

    The “good life” should be understood not only as the ability to provide for one’s existence – mandatory daily expenses, but also spending on recreation, as well as savings that will be used for investments or retirement savings. If we take into account these factors, then the minimum figure will be $ 100,000 per year for a family. Here it is also important to take into account the place of residence, since this amount will be felt differently in specific states. For example, for Oklahoma, 100 thousand dollars is a high level of salaries, and for Washington it is quite low, just right for a modest life with an average income.

    Basic costs

    Quality medicine is very expensive. It feels good in the US. Insurance payments from a salary often do not cover all needs, which is why you have to purchase more expensive insurance in order to underpay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the treatment of serious illnesses and operations. You will have to take care of small children yourself, hire a nanny or send them to kindergartens, and they are private. The school is free, but only children from 5 years old are accepted into it.

    Consider the main costs of the average family as a list:

    • Payment for housing . Most spend around $1,000 on rent. For many, this money is spent on mortgages.

    • Utility payments . On average, the total check does not exceed $ 200, but again, it all depends on the state, locality, area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house.

    • Nutrition . Families of three spend about 1000 on food, not limited to fruits, vegetables or other foods necessary for a balanced and healthy diet.

    • Medical insurance . “Good insurance” from $500.

    • Kindergarten or nanny . The nannies are not paid much, and the kindergarten will cost about $500 a month.

    • Eating out . Many Americans often eat out, visiting the well-known McDonald’s, cafes and restaurants. It takes about $100 per person per day. The exact number depends on where you live.

    Average cost of food and clothing

    The above figures may seem too “blurry”. Therefore, it makes sense to indicate the average cost of ordinary products and everyday clothes.

    1. Products . Bread costs $2.5, eggs – $2.3, 1 liter of milk – up to $1, potatoes – $2.5. Meat is more expensive, in particular, the price of chicken breast: $ 8-9. Alcoholic drinks: wine – from $10. Fruits and vegetables are more affordable: apples – up to $5, tomatoes – up to $4.

    2. Clothing . A set of casual clothes for warm weather will require up to $150. Shoes are expensive. If we talk about good quality, prices start at $70. Branded items are more expensive.

    Thinking about the fact that it is better to live somewhere, you should always remember – “it’s good where we are not.” In conditions of good earnings, there are always many migrants and high competition. Therefore, even for the sake of a minimum, you will have to work hard. America, despite high salaries, does not “give” a good life just like that.

    How to find a job in San Francisco

    San Francisco, Chicago, Sacramento and New York are the cities where the largest communities of migrants from the post-Soviet space live. Therefore, new immigrants choose these destinations to start life in America.

    When looking for a first job, you should understand that American companies are not ready to hire specialists without education, experience and knowledge of the language at the Intermediate + level. Therefore, to start, look for Russian-speaking companies in the city.

    You can find jobs in San Francisco using simple and proven methods:

    • Through bulletin boards for ours in the US.

    There are dozens of services on the market that are created to help compatriot pigs in the country. The most popular of them is bazar.club. No registration is required to search the site. In addition, you can additionally place an ad-resume on the bazar (be sure to add a photo, a detailed description of your skills and previous experience, contacts).

    • Through social networks, instant messengers and forums.

    In addition to job markets, it is customary for immigrants to place job advertisements in groups and channels. They create a special atmosphere of mutual assistance, people share their experience and willingly help each other.

    The choice of how to search for vacancies depends on five factors: your status in the country, the level of English proficiency, education/professional experience and personal qualities (soft & hard skills). Based on this data, you can form your search strategy.
    We talked in detail about search methods: from acquaintances to bootcamps in our material “Working in the USA: an overview of services and search methods for an immigrant”.

    Employment in an American company requires documents confirming your legal status and the right to work in the United States. In addition, depending on the requirements of the employer for a specific position, additional certificates of advanced training, etc. may be required.

    If you are in the country illegally, you can also get a job. This will work for the cache. However, you should understand what risks illegal status entails for both you and the employer. This is discussed in detail here.

    If you are interested in vacancies with cash payment, then you can find current ads in San Francisco at bazar.club.

    The average annual salary in San Francisco is $72,813. However, this range ranges from $64,177 to $192,530. This suggests that there are many opportunities for promotions and pay raises in the city depending on skill level, location and years of experience.

    cost of moving and living in California

    California is known for Hollywood, Silicon Valley and two cities: San Francisco and Los Angeles.

    Prices and budget

    We lived in the Balkans for two years before moving to the USA. It was then that the ruble fell, and we learned how to save money, plan a budget, and got used to the fact that everything seems expensive. It seemed that the cost of living in the United States should not surprise us much.

    1 $ = 60 R

    for convenience, we calculated all prices in the article at this rate

    It is believed that California is the most expensive state in the United States. According to Gobankingrates.com, Californians spend an average of 35% more on living than other states. Housing costs 92.7% more than the US average, transportation costs 30% more, groceries 15.8%.

    The prices surprised us when we compared them with prices in Russia and Europe. As soon as we stopped doing this and built a budget based on local income and expenses, everything became not so scary. We began to spend much more money on food and services, but large purchases, on the contrary, became cheaper. Buying clothes, a laptop or a car here is much more affordable than in Russia or Europe. In general, prices in California are comparable to the average local income.

    Visas and relocation

    Millions of people try to move to America every year. Few succeed. In my opinion, the American visa legislation can be described as follows: a lot of opportunities and no specifics.

    Typically, professionals move to the US on an h2B visa. There are few such visas – several tens of thousands a year, and those who wish – hundreds of thousands. Therefore, h2B is played in the lottery. You can apply for h2B if you have a job offer in the USA. At the same time, the employer must prove that he tried, but could not find among the Americans the same great specialist as you. In any case, you will have to participate in the lottery. No matter how much a company wants to hire an employee, h2B is a lottery, everyone is equal in front of it.

    A green card is also drawn in the lottery – a permanent residence permit in the United States. The chances of winning a green card are even less, for Russian citizens about 1 in 100.

    /ticket-to-usa/

    Can you move to the USA?

    There is an O1 visa, popularly called the “gifted visa”. It is given for talents and achievements: you need to prove that you are a recognized scientist, an artist respected in your homeland, a successful entrepreneur, and so on. You will need letters of recommendation, your published articles (or articles about you), evidence that you have influenced the development of the industry in which you worked. The O1 visa is issued without a lottery. In addition, you can get a study visa with a part-time work permit, a fiancé visa, and so on.

    American visa legislation is very extensive, it is impossible to deal with it without a lawyer, therefore, a lawyer is always involved in processing any long-term American visa.

    It is very difficult to deal with US visa laws without a lawyer.

    Many come to the USA on a tourist visa and stay illegally, and then legalize their status in the most unthinkable ways. The period of stay in the country is determined individually at passport control. Usually it’s six months.

    Among migrants, there is an opinion that the US visa legislation is so complicated on purpose that either talented or very enterprising people come to the country who managed to overcome all barriers, fit into society, find people who can vouch for them, and by any means stay here .

    Climate and nature

    California is a sunny state. However, unlike Los Angeles, where it is warm and +30 °C all year round, San Francisco is always cool and windy. You need to dress in layers here, otherwise it’s hot in the sun and cold in the shade. There is a strong wind in the city, sometimes there is a humid fog. Hot summers are rare here. I love the heat, but for work and study, the same cool weather all year round is ideal.

    The water in the ocean is cold, you can only swim in a wetsuit. Waves all year round. The locals do not lie on the beach, but go surfing, kiting and kayaking.

    Kiters on San Francisco Beach

    There are many animals in San Francisco. You can meet raccoons, hummingbirds, fur seals and lions, herons, pelicans. Turtles and coyotes live in city parks. Deer, cougars, wild turkeys are found within a 15-minute drive from the city. The trees here are huge: the famous redwoods, eucalyptus and sequoias are very beautiful and smell incredibly delicious.

    Turtles in Golden Gate Park

    Cityscape

    San Francisco is divided into districts and communities – national or interest. There is a business district, a jazz district, a crime district, Chinatown, Japantown, Little Italy, Russian Hill, there are Mexican districts, and so on.

    The business district is similar to New York: dense building of skyscrapers and lack of greenery.

    San Francisco has both skyscrapers and Victorian houses

    Victorian houses are very popular in the city. Most of the old residential areas are built up with two- or three-story houses with bay windows and towers.

    There are many homeless people in San Francisco. It’s a whole subculture here. On some streets – under overpasses or along railway tracks – entire tent camps are organized. Many live without tents, simply laying out a sleeping bag somewhere under the roof at night, and resting on the sidewalk during the day.

    The homeless in the city are full members of society. The people around them do not avoid them. A passer-by on the way to work can simply sit next to such a tent and chat for a couple of minutes with a homeless person about life.

    A homeless man’s tent at the entrance to building

    Professional migrants flock to San Francisco. There are more men than women here, the average age of the inhabitants is 25-40 years. There are very few elderly people and children in the city.

    Here you constantly see how new technologies are created. For example, a cafe with a robot bartender, shoes made from recycled plastic bottles, or unmanned taxis are all part of everyday life in San Francisco. It seems that the future here comes earlier than in other cities.

    Housing

    Housing in San Francisco is very expensive, twice as expensive as the US average. A one-room studio apartment of 50 m² in a typical area costs from $2,600 (R156,000) per month. An apartment with one bedroom and one more room will cost $3,000 (R180,000) per month. Within this budget, finding an apartment is quite easy, because people in the city often change housing after work, and new offers for rent appear all the time.

    You can rent housing from a management company or a private person. The management company has higher prices, but it will help if a pipe breaks, the refrigerator breaks, or the ventilation turns off. You can search for housing on any real estate rental site, but I recommend making a list of residential complexes in the desired area, calling their offices and asking them to pick up options for you. An apartment is usually found in a couple of weeks. We found a suitable apartment in four days.

    A passport with any visa is enough to rent a house (a tourist visa is also suitable). You will also need an American bank account and a deposit. For Americans, the deposit is small, usually $200-400 (R12,000-24,000). For visitors without a credit history, the landlord can ask for a deposit of up to four monthly payments.

    You can rent an apartment on a passport with a tourist visa

    In America, apartments for long-term rent are rented unfurnished. Usually only a bathroom and a kitchen are equipped. In living rooms, in addition to furniture, there is no light and even hooks for a chandelier on the ceilings. Many people simply put floor lamps in to save money. We were lucky: we had an equipped dressing room with shelves and drawers. This saved us about 1000 $ (60 000 R) during the arrangement.

    For the first two weeks we dined at this table

    As soon as we rented an apartment, we immediately went to the store. I had to buy a mattress, a blanket, pillows, bed linen, towels, lamps, chairs, dishes, a kettle, an iron, a hair dryer, and basic household chemicals. It took us about $1,500 (90,000 R). The next step was to buy furniture.

    $1500

    we spent on essentials when we moved into the apartment

    There are many companies in San Francisco that offer furniture for rent. Putting designer furniture (not Ikea) – a bed with a couple of bedside tables, a dining table with chairs, a TV cabinet and a sofa – costs from $600 (36,000 R) per month. You just need to report the dimensions of your apartment, the desired set of furniture and style.

    The company itself will complete the sets, bring and arrange the furniture in the apartment. Buy a set of furniture for life in Ikea – from $ 1,300 (78,000 R). If you want not the simplest furniture, then from $ 2,000 (120,000 R).

    Apartment furniture can also be rented

    In houses, everything is usually thought out for the leisure of residents: there is a barbecue, a swimming pool, and sports grounds. Our residential complex has two gyms, indoor areas with billiards, ping-pong, table curling, a climbing wall and a basketball hall. Yoga and fitness classes are held. It’s all free for residents and their guests.

    A two-room apartment of 70 m² in a residential area of ​​San Francisco costs $650,000 (R39,000,000). And for a million dollars (60,000,000 R) you can buy the same apartment in the center, in a new house with a concierge and a gym. A house on the outskirts of the city on the ocean costs about the same.

    Americans usually buy housing with a mortgage. Interest rates are constantly changing, but in general, you can count on 3-5% per annum. The minimum down payment starts from 5% of the total cost of housing.

    Pets

    We moved to San Francisco with two small dogs. Finding an apartment here that is allowed to live with a dog is difficult. When we nevertheless chose an apartment and began to conclude an agreement, we were asked to fill out a separate questionnaire for each dog. It was necessary to indicate names, breed, age, character traits, favorite food and familiar commands. This is necessary in case the management company needs to enter the apartment during our absence or so that in the event of an emergency evacuation, our dogs will not be forgotten to evacuate.

    Since we were staying with dogs, the amount of our deposit has tripled: without dogs we would leave $250 (15,000 R), and with dogs — $750 (45,000 R). The cost of rent has also increased: each pet costs $75 (4500 R) per month. We have two dogs, so we pay an additional $150 (R9000) per month.

    You can go to a psychotherapist and get a certificate stating that you have an emotional dependence on your animal. Then he will be assigned the status of a service dog or emotional support animal. With such a certificate from a doctor, it is allowed to move into any apartment without restrictions, in addition, in most cases, the tenant is exempted from the extra charge to the rent for the animal. This scheme was recommended to us by a realtor, but we did not use it, because we consider it fair to pay for lawn cleaning, replanting plants and dog bags in dispensers on the territory of a neighboring park.

    Veterinary care in San Francisco is expensive. A doctor’s examination costs $60 (3600 R), and the treatment of almost any disease or injury is measured in thousands of dollars. Therefore, many owners take out veterinary insurance for animals.

    $60

    it costs to see the animal at the veterinarian

    Our dogs are young and small, so the insurance costs $40 (2400 R) per month for each dog. If the dogs were over 8 years old, the insurance would cost twice as much. Even with insurance for treatment, in which case you will have to pay: the insurance plan covers 80% of the bill, has a payout limit of $10,000 (600,000 R) per year and a one-time deductible of $250 (15,000 R).

    Insurance for pets is required, otherwise the treatment will cost thousands of dollars

    In addition, our insurance does not cover vaccinations, dental cleanings, routine tests of the animal. You can get unlimited insurance with full coverage, but it will cost from $120 (7200 R) per month for each dog.

    Training, behavior modification, walkers, dog sitters and dog daycare are the services most of our neighbors use. Here it is the norm. The course of social adaptation is considered a basic need, therefore it is relatively inexpensive – $ 350-500 (21,000-30,000 R). Behavior correction is also a popular service. An hour and a half of work by a correction specialist costs $100-150 (6000-9000 R), as in Moscow.

    Most dogs in San Francisco walk at least three times a day. During the day, 70% of people walking their dogs are not owners. In San Francisco, the services of dog walkers, or “dog sitters”, are very popular. There are 20 competing companies with a huge staff of walkers. Many people with shift schedules work like this.

    The cost of an hour of walking – from $ 30 (1800 R). “Kindergarten” for dogs in San Francisco is more common than kindergarten for children. Every house has at least one within walking distance. Working owners take their dogs there for the whole day so that they do not stay at home alone. This service costs from $50 (3000 R) per day.

    Dog walker is a very popular side job in San Francisco

    We don’t use “kindergarten” because our angry Russian dogs don’t like socializing very much.

    In America, dogs can be left alone at home if they can tolerate being alone. But if the dog barks or howls in the apartment for several hours in a row, then the neighbors or the management company can call the animal protection service. The service employee will take the dog to the dog hotel, and the owner will be billed for the hotel from $100 (3,000 R) per day, a fine of $300 (18,000 R) and a warning for cruelty to animals.

    $420

    We spend on two dogs per month

    Our average monthly budget for two dogs is $420 (R25,200). The average San Francisco with a dog uses a lot more services than we do and pays about $400 (R24,000) per animal.

    Payments

    We pay about $90 (5400 R) per month for water, house maintenance, garbage collection. Electricity costs another $50-80 (3000-4800 R). If you live in your own house, then you will pay about $100-150 for a communal apartment (6000-9000 R) per month.

    Internet is expensive in the USA: Wi-Fi in an apartment costs $70 (4200 R) per month. It takes about $50 (3000 R) per month for a mobile connection with the Internet.

    It is worth talking about the Internet in detail, because it is bad and expensive in San Francisco. We have held an optician, rare for California. The provider treats us as users of a new cool service. It is surprising that in a city whose Internet business rules the world, the presence of constant access to the network is not perceived as something vital at all.

    $70

    Wi-Fi is available in the apartment for a month

    One Saturday morning we lost internet. The support service arranged for us to visit the master for the next Saturday – that is, it was assumed that we would be without a network for a week. As a result, it turned out that road workers damaged the Internet cable and the network did not work in the entire area. They fixed it three days later. All these three days, the provider’s support service was torn by calls from angry residents of the area, most of whom work in IT.

    Banks

    A migrant’s integration into the US begins with a visit to a bank. You can open a debit account with a foreign passport and any visa confirming your legal stay in the country, including a tourist one. The bank makes a card for the account for several days, after which it sends an envelope with the card by regular mail – it will be put in the mailbox, left at the concierge, or stuck in the door gap. For security, they will write on the envelope that personal data is inside. Opening someone else’s envelope is a crime.

    Internet banking and banking mobile apps surprised me: they have an outdated interface, limited functions, and transfers between your accounts can take several days, especially if you send it on Friday after 2 pm.

    An “electronic payment” for renting an apartment may look like this: go to your personal account, press the button for transferring funds, the bank receives a request, prints a check, puts it in an envelope and sends it by mail to the leasing company.

    Transfer between own accounts can take two days

    American banks are trying to adapt to urban communities and neighborhoods. An ordinary American bank in Chinatown operates in an office that looks like a pagoda temple, while in the LGBT district, the Castro Bank is decorated in rainbow colors.

    Credit history

    Credit history in the United States is a record of your responsibility. It records not only timely loan payments, but also paid bills for mobile communications and the Internet, for rent and housing and communal services. Based on the credit history, they make a decision on signing a housing rental contract, on the conditions for issuing a loan and enrolling in studies.

    Every organization that wants to verify your trustworthiness has the right to access information about your credit history.

    There is a vicious circle: if you do not have a credit history, then you will not be issued a credit card. And if you don’t have a credit card that you regularly demonstrate the ability to spend and pay back, you won’t have a credit history.

    Credit history is the most important characteristic for a resident of the USA

    Some banks in America have an unusual “loan” plan for beginners – Secured Credit Card. You get a credit card and deposit $500 (30,000 R) on it. Forget it’s your $500 and pretend it’s your credit card limit. You can take this money “on credit”, you have a payment schedule, according to which you must spend and return money to the card. This is how you demonstrate to the bank that you are a conscientious person and remember about your mandatory payments. After six months or a year of such a performance, your credit limit can be extended to $1,000-1,500.

    Medical care

    Medicine in America is always a big expense. The treatment of almost any injury or disease is measured in thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is extremely important to have health insurance.

    Medical insurance here is catastrophe insurance. Insurance compensates for most of the costs of medical care, but does not cover them entirely, you still have to pay out of your own pocket.

    Insurance costs from $350 (R21,000) to $800 (R48,000) per person per month. When choosing an insurance plan, you need to focus on three main numbers:

    • monthly payment for insurance;
    • the amount of payments when contacting a doctor;
    • is the maximum amount of potential costs per year.

    For example, you can save on the insurance itself and pay less per month, but then your bills will increase with each visit to the doctor. And if you want to generally monitor your health and visit the doctor regularly, then you will have to allocate money for this in the monthly budget.

    For comparison, a visit to the doctor for a person without insurance will cost from $150 (9000 R), for the insured – from $ 20 (1200 R). An x-ray without insurance will cost from $300 (18,000 R) to several thousand. Some companies in San Francisco and Silicon Valley cover insurance and all additional medical costs for their employees.

    $150

    costs a doctor’s appointment if you don’t have insurance. If you have insurance — $20

    Food and shopping

    For the first few months, I went to grocery stores like a museum. I can’t say that our food preferences have changed a lot, but there are many new dishes that we cook at home. In any chain store you can find dozens of meats, hundreds of different sauces, excellent fruits and vegetables, and Californian cheeses and wines are so good and varied that we still haven’t tried everything.

    Going to the store for less than $50 (3000 R) will not work. The average check is $70 (4200 R).

    $70

    our average check at the grocery store

    We spend $500-600 (R30,000-36,000) a month on groceries and household chemicals.

    The water in San Francisco and Silicon Valley is clean and drinkable from the tap. Therefore, during lunch, most people do not order drinks with food, but simply ask for a glass of water – it’s free.

    Bringing your bottle of water to a diner or cafe is also quite normal. If you order only food, then you can dine for $15-20 (900-1200 R). Coffee or tea – another $ 2-4 (120-240 R).

    Tap water in San Francisco is safe to drink

    Coupons and discount cards in the USA are power. This is where they really work. If you get discount cards from different stores and pay attention to bonuses and coupons from time to time, you can save up to $15 (900 R) per check.

    Friday Deals

    Store sales are held for every possible occasion, holiday, or event such as the victory of your favorite city sports team. And also without a case: discounts are sent by mail, there are discounts on the days of the week for certain credit cards, the discount can be found on the store’s website. If you really liked a thing, but there is no discount, then you can always find it in another store at a discount, or just wait a couple of weeks – and it will cost less.

    During the move, we brought three suitcases of things with us. But these clothes were not enough for life, so we bought a significant part of the wardrobe and spent $800 (48,000 R) each due to Black Friday sales.

    Transportation

    San Francisco residents mostly manage without their own car. The city is small, many places can be reached on foot, by bike or scooter, especially since the weather allows it all year round. There are also problems with parking: it is scarce and expensive. A parking space in our house costs $300 (R18,000) per month. Leaving the car on the sidewalk will not work: they are guaranteed to be evacuated and a fine will be issued.

    $300

    A parking space in our house costs a month

    Many city dwellers give up cars in favor of bicycles, hoverboards and skateboards with motors.

    If you travel far, it is better to use public transport. The city has buses, trams, metro. The metro has five lines, they connect with cities on the other side of the bay.

    San Francisco Subway Map

    Another convenient and inexpensive taxi in San Francisco. Every second car in the city is an Uber or an Elevator. If you share a trip with other passengers in the Uber Pool, you will pay $5-10 (300-600 R). A typical trip to Uber X costs $7–20 (R420–1200).

    From San Francisco to any city in Silicon Valley, you can travel on the Caltrain – it’s like an electric train. At rush hour, Caltrain resembles a subway, only all the passengers here write code on a laptop, check tasks in Trello, or generally sit in monitor glasses.

    It takes 40-60 minutes and 8 $ (480 R) from San Francisco to Palo Alto. To San Jose – 1-1.5 hours and 17 $ (1020 R). Many companies are located in Silicon Valley, so when choosing housing, it is better to focus on the location of the office, otherwise up to $ 20 (1200 R) per day will only go to the road.

    $8

    We rent a car on weekends to travel out of town. There is no usual car sharing, but there is a Zipcar service and analogues, the minus of which is that the car must be returned to the same place where it was taken; book a specific number of hours and drive no more than 180 miles per day. Renting a car costs 9-12 $ (540-720 R) per hour or 100-150 $ (6000-9000 R) for the whole day, gasoline is included in this price. If you drive more than 180 miles, you will have to pay 45 cents (27 R) extra for each extra mile.

    We take a Zipcar to the mountains

    Entertainment and services

    There are good museums in San Francisco. Often bring interesting and unusual exhibitions. Entrance to the museum costs about $30 (1800 R). Every museum has free admission days, such as the first Tuesday of the month. There is also a schedule of free days for city districts or for cardholders of a certain bank. But there is a problem with these promotions: on free days, the queues at popular museums are longer than at Picasso in Pushkinsky, so it’s easier to pay $30.

    $30

    average ticket price to the museum

    Exploratorium Museum

    There are a lot of jazz clubs in San Francisco. All of them are worthy of attention. Almost any concert in the auditorium will cost $50-100 (R3000-6000) per ticket. Classical events are more expensive, and the cost of tickets, for example, for a ballet will be $100-300 (6,000-18,000 R).

    Surprisingly, the US beauty industry is always a problem. It is difficult to find a good manicurist, his work costs from $60 (3600 R), and it is almost impossible to find a salon near the house that would meet sanitary expectations. I bought manicure equipment and do my own manicure at home. These costs paid off in two weeks.

    average price for a manicure

    Budgeting

    Living in San Francisco is interesting, but expensive. If you rent a studio, don’t get sick, don’t buy clothes at all, and once a month entertain yourself with trips out of town in a rented car, then a family of two people needs about $5,000 (300,000 R) per month.

    With a budget of $8,000 (480,000 R) you can live more freely, but with children and traveling abroad it will be hard. A comfortable budget for living in San Francisco is from $10,000 (R600,000) per month.

    We really like San Francisco. It has good weather, a dynamic environment, and plenty of business and career opportunities. I want to do more and achieve more. At the same time, we do not feel here a crazy rhythm, overload or irritation from the people around us. There is a time for everything here, and people do not forget to relax and devote time to themselves and their hobbies.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for a real estate broker is $75,910. In comparison, the typical real estate agent compensation is $20,000, which is 20% less.

      The amount of money you can earn as a real estate broker is determined by a number of factors.

      #1. Experience

      New brokers must devote more time and money to recruiting, expanding their client base and marketing their company, which results in fewer transactions and lower wages. Veteran brokers, on the other hand, tend to have more listings, as well as more prestige and expertise in the local market.

      • Commercial real estate relocation services luxury real estate
      • Investments from abroad
      • Investment properties

      Brokers with larger organizations have more agents, which means they can earn commissions on more transactions. On the other hand, an increase in staff and office increases operating costs, which can reduce your broker’s profits.

      #4. Location

      Finally, one of the most important aspects when deciding whether to remunerate a real estate broker is where you live and work. Housing prices and consumer demand, as well as other business expenses, are determined by location. This is true both at the state and local level.

      Finally, the type of broker you are can affect your income from a real estate broker. In general, there are three categories of real estate brokers:

According to the National Association of Realtors, about 33% of all brokers are individual owners of their business.

      No. 2. Real estate broker

      Some brokers prefer to work for an owner broker rather than own a business. These managing brokers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the firm.

      These brokers, also known as broker partners, work under the supervision of a managing broker. Some associate brokers remain in the same positions as sales agents, while others step back to focus on certain parts of the firm, such as technology, marketing, or training.

      Different types of brokers have different costs, and these costs can significantly affect their bottom line. For example, an associate broker who is actively involved in transactions may incur costs similar to those of a regular agent (e.g., marketing and advertising costs, vehicles), while broker owners incur more significant costs (e.g., office rental costs, technology and hiring). have a significant impact on their final results.

      Mortgage Broker Salary

      According to Indeed.com, the typical salary for a mortgage broker is $85,472 and the average salary for a loan officer is $12, although these numbers can vary greatly. A mortgage broker usually works on a commission basis, receiving a portion of every transaction they make. A mortgage broker’s salary is typically between 100% and 1000% of the loan amount, which means each transaction is worth thousands of dollars (if not tens of thousands). Brokers are discovering that their chosen profession offers many benefits beyond the level of pay.

      Because of the nature of the mortgage broker job, your success is directly proportional to how much work you are willing to put in, and doing more work equals more pay. In addition, the nature of your profession is basically adaptable. As a broker, you are self-employed and operate independently of a larger corporation. You have the freedom to take on more or fewer clients, work more or less hours (as long as the job is done), and even work for a firm or from home!

      The benefits of internship are mainly related to your experience, repertoire and contacts, since you decide to continue working in this field for many years. Developing relationships with your creditors can lead to new borrowing opportunities and improving your interpersonal skills can help you attract more clients. Over time, finding, processing, and closing trades becomes easier and more streamlined, allowing you to earn more on your own merit.

    First day of pre school: 9 tips for the 1st day of preschool

    9 tips for the 1st day of preschool

    Even if they have siblings who have “been there, done that,” sending a child off to preschool for the first time is nerve-racking. Will they feel scared? Will they cry? Will they pee their pants?! A child’s first day of pre-K is a big day filled with tons of emotions for family members and caregivers alike. Fortunately, there are ways to make this transition go smoothly — and it all starts at home.

    “The single-most important thing parents can do when their child is going to school for the first time is to fully process their own feelings,” says Emily Shapiro, an early childhood admissions consultant in New York City. “Of course it’s scary to put your child in the hands of people who are seemingly strangers, but you want to protect your child from your own anxieties so they’re more excited than nervous on their big day.”

    While getting mixed emotions in check plays a big part in lowering stress for kids on their big day, it isn’t the only way to have a great first day of preschool. Here are nine expert tips for a successful first day of preschool.

    1. Take time to sort through your feelings 

    It’s perfectly normal and valid to have mixed emotions on a child’s first day of preschool, but like Shapiro says, it’s crucial to sort through these feelings beforehand so you can present a strong, calm front on the big day. 

    “Whether you talk to your friends and family, journal or use a favorite go-to outlet, it’s important to work through your big feelings in advance, so you’re not losing it at the door to the classroom,” says Ruthie Arbit, licensed independent clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in maternal and pediatric mental health. 

    Arbit notes that it’s OK to matter-of-factly explain to kids how you’re feeling beforehand by saying something like, “I also have a lot of big feelings about you starting school soon, and here are some thoughts that help me…”

    While having that conversation, you’ll do well to manage your own ambivalence and hesitation, Arbit says.  

    “Kids are very perceptive and rely on parents and caregivers to help them keep calm when things are scary,” she says.  

    2. Visit the school together

    “Most childhood development programs have a phase-in schedule, where you can take the child in for a visit before school starts,” says Shapiro. “Take advantage of that. It helps children get a sense of the classroom while you’re with them.” 

    Arbit suggests taking a photo of the classroom during such a visit so you can study the picture together and try to find specifics in the classroom at home. 

    “Before the first day, you can remind soon-to-be students of something particular in the classroom, such as a toy or picture, they liked,” she says.   

    3. Pack a piece of home

    Both Arbit and Shapiro recommend sending kids to school with a memento or two from home. 

    “Family photos are very helpful for kids when they go to school,” says Shapiro. “It supports their knowledge of object permanence. They can deeply believe that you exist when you’re not there.” 

    You may also consider tucking a scarf that smells of you or a lovey into their backpack.    

    4. Nail down the morning routine

    Don’t wait until the day of to make sure kids are up and at ‘em at an appropriate time. Not only will it be jarring, but it will serve as yet another schedule change they’ll have to get accustomed to.

    “The previous week, do the morning routine as much as you can — get up, get dressed, eat breakfast and even walk or drive to school,” says Shapiro. “If all of those things aren’t brand new to your child, then they won’t have used up too many of their resources for getting to know new things.” 

    5. Don’t talk about it too far in advance

    According to Shapiro, talking about the first day of preschool too far in advance will only serve to build anxiety and confusion because the child is never going to know if the next day is the day. 

    “A week before school, explain to kids what they’re going to do the following day,” says Shapiro. “Then, the night before school, routinely tell them what they’re going to do the next day, just as you’ve been doing. This way, they’ve had the experience of hearing about the next day multiple times, so they can picture and anticipate what’s to come.” 

    6. Give them some control

    Let kids pick out their backpack, lunchbox and any other fun school supplies you may be required to purchase. 

    “Engage kids by having them pick out their backpack, help pack their lunch and put name labels on things,” says Arbit. “Not only will it be exciting for them, it will give them more control in the preparation process.” 

    7. Mimic preschool rules and routines

    Have a child who naps whenever? You may want to work on changing that when you’re about a month or so out from school starting. 

    “It’s a good idea to get on a similar schedule to the preschool schedule,” says Arbit. “If a child normally naps at 2 p.m. and school has the kids on a noon nap schedule, try to get your schedules aligned. ” 

    Having kids wake up earlier than they’re used to (in order to get ready for school) may prompt them to get sleepier earlier than usual. And if they protest a new nap time initially, keep at it by using the same nap time routine you’ve always used. If they refuse to go to sleep, quiet time during the school’s designated nap time is a good alternative.  

    Additionally, Arbit recommends getting kids accustomed to any procedures that may feel foreign to them at school. 

    “If a child is going to have to take off their own coat or use a different type of potty, try to get them acclimated beforehand,” says Arbit. “That said, don’t fret if their home life is different from the preschool setup. Preschool teachers are angels with pixie dust, and kiddos will learn to sleep in a new cot and do new things in no time.”

    And of course on the morning of the big day, plan accordingly. 

    “It’s a good idea to wake up earlier than usual to account for anything surprising that may happen on the first day,” says Arbit. “Also, have everything ready the night before, so the morning can be as seamless as possible.” 

    8. Walk them through their day — and add in something fun

    “If your child has questions about what the day will be like, walk them through it by giving a quick schedule,” says Arbit. “You can say something like: ‘In the morning you will have some free play, delicious snack time, playground time, lunch, nap and then I’ll see you.’ Kids like knowing what their day will look like.”

    Arbit also suggests giving kids something fun to look forward to at the end of the day, such as a beloved meal. 

    “Tell them that after you pick them up, you’re going to make their favorite mac and cheese dinner,” she says. “This is the bookend to their morning routine and will help give them some clarity on what the day will look like.”

    9. Don’t sneak out — and don’t linger too long

    If a child starts fussing when it’s time for you to leave, it may be tempting to sneak out, but don’t.  

    “When you sneak away from a child who’s crying, you’re protecting yourself from having to experience their displeasure because it’s more comfortable for you,” says Shapiro. “Your message essentially is: ‘I can’t tolerate you being upset.’ Additionally, sneaking out can create a situation where a child refuses to engage in anything when you drop them off in the future because they’re being vigilant about you leaving.” 

    Try to have a teacher or aide help calm the child down, and, as long as he or she isn’t genuinely afraid — but more so protesting your exit — it’s OK to say goodbye and leave. 

    “You have to trust the people you chose to care for your child,” Shapiro says. “You can’t console and leave at the same time.”  

    On the flip side, as hard as it is to see your child in uncharted territory, don’t drag your farewell out too much, especially if they seem OK. 

    “Don’t linger too long at preschool drop-off,” says Arbit. “Try to get the child engaged in an activity before you leave and give them a few warnings. You can sit down together and start playing a game and give five-, three- and one-minute reminders before leaving. You can also introduce your child to another child, so they have a buddy when you leave.” 

    Most importantly, when you’re walking out the door, try to keep things in perspective. “Remember that kids are more resilient than you think,” says Arbit. “Even if the change is hard at first, they’ll adjust pretty quickly.”

    First Days of Pre-K – PreKinders

    Many new teachers, or teachers new to Pre-K, ask how to begin the year.

    How to survive the First Days of Pre-K!

    The best advice I got as a new teacher was to forget about apples and themes and any “cutesy stuff” for the first few weeks of school, and focus on teaching them how to use the centers and the materials in the classroom. Lessons at the beginning of school should be basic: how to use glue, how to use scissors, how to use markers, how to use paint, how to line up, etc. Don’t assume that they know these things.

    Before the First Day

    As soon as I get my class list, I send out a small packet to the parents. The packet includes a letter to the parents introducing myself and my assistant with some brief information about our program and curriculum. It also includes a child info sheet. I ask the parents to bring these to school on orientation day, and remind them of the date and time. The packet also has a “First Day Fears” letter, explaining separation anxieties and some tips for a smooth transition to school. Here’s a link to a First Day Fears Letter (originally from Ms. Bonthuis’ site).

    Orientation

    At orientation, we have the children go in another room to watch a movie, while the teachers give a presentation to the parents. I try to keep it brief, so the children have time to come in and explore the classroom.

    I draw a map on the board for parents who don’t know our school’s arrival and dismissal procedures. I explain a little about the curriculum and briefly go over our handbook, then allow them time to ask questions.

    I have sign-up sheets on the tables for volunteer time and for parents to write how their child will get home (car, walk, daycare van, or extended day). I also pass out our daily folders and explain their purpose.

    Daily Folders

    How we use the daily folders: The daily folders are used all year, and are brought to school every day. They are used as a communication tool between home and school. Parents are asked to send any notes to me or the school or any money in the folder, and I send any notes from me or the school to them. The child’s work is also sent home in the folder.

    I put a copy of our handbook and our curriculum in the folder for orientation day, and have the parents take them home and return them the first day of school.

    Where we get our daily folders: The folders we use are plastic with clear covers on the front and back and clear pockets on the inside. I slip a decorated paper in the front pocket with the child’s name, school name, and grade. It also says “Please return daily” as a reminder to the parents. The back pocket has a monthly class calendar. The inside pockets have “return to school” written on the left side, and “keep at home” written on the right side. The folders are from Nicky’s Folders. I’ve been using these for years, and they are very durable.

    First Day of School Arrival

    The first day of school is always very busy at arrival time because parents remember something they need to tell me or ask me, and the children want to wander around the room pulling things out.

    On the tables, I set out crayons and paper with the words “I drew this on the first day of school” printed on the bottom. I save these for their portfolios. I also put Legos on the table to keep the kids busy. My assistant helps steer the wanderers back to the table to help keep the first day chaos down to a minimum.

    Center Time

    It’s nice to have a wide variety of materials in the centers for the children to use, but this can be overwhelming at the first of the year. It’s better to have less to begin with, let them get used to the room and how things are set up, then bring more materials out a few at a time. I introduce most materials at small group time before I put them in the center. I don’t have closet space to put things away, so I actually do have lots of things on the shelves at the beginning of the year, it just isn’t all available. It’s also a good idea to keep everything in the same place all year because it is less confusing for the kids. You don’t want to rearrange things on your shelves too much because the kids will never understand how and where they should be put away.

    I have my centers set up how I want them to be for the year, but I turn the shelves around facing the walls, and bag up or wrap up some of the items. I wrap or bag the materials at the end of each year. That way, they’re packed for the summer and ready for the beginning of the next school year (and dust free!) The first few weeks of school, I only have the blocks, housekeeping, art, and reading center available. I slowly add other centers.

    I do a lesson for each center before the kids use it, and we go over each center’s rules every day for the first few weeks. The first day of school, I split the class in half. My assistant takes half to the housekeeping center and I take half to the block center (afterwards, we switch). We show them where everything goes, and we explain safety rules (such as not throwing blocks or throwing things from the loft). We take a few things down and put them away asking the children if they remember where they go. Then, each child is given one or more items from that center and the children take turns putting them away. There are times when we have to repeat this. If things get out of hand in a particular center (safety issues or clean up issues), I close that center for a day, and we review the rules before using it again.

    Tips for each center:

    • HOUSEKEEPING: I don’t add dress-up clothes until September (2nd month of school for us).
    • BLOCKS: At the beginning, we only have the basic wooden blocks. I don’t add cars and trucks or animals until later.
    • ART: My art center has a lot of materials. The first few weeks, the only materials available are paper, markers, crayons, glue, and scissors. I wrap the other materials in butcher paper and write the contents on the package. When I feel the kids are ready for something new, we open a “present” (the kids love to open a new present).
    • WRITING: This is done basically the same way as art. The first week, only paper, markers, and pencils are available.
    • MATH and ABC: I put the manipulatives in 2-gallon ziplock bags and sit the bags down in the tubs. That way the kids can’t get into them and spread them all over the room before we’ve had a chance to go over the center rules. (This particular shelf is large and cannot be turned around.)
    • READING: I only have a few board books out in the beginning. More books are added later.
    • SCIENCE: This shelf is turned around backwards until we are ready for it.

    Lesson Plans

    As mentioned, our first activities and lessons center on learning about the classroom, school procedures, and how to use basic materials. These lessons last as long as needed. There is no set end time for beginning school lessons. See the School Unit page for my beginning school activities and lessons. You can also read about our day in Pre-K and see our schedule.

    Science-Based Tips for First Day of Preschool

    The first day of preschool or the first day of daycare is exciting, but it can also be an overwhelming experience for young children.

    This article will give you 6 tips on how to help your child deal with separation anxiety on this important day.

    First Day Of Preschool

    So you’ve done the research, visited all the preschools in your area, talked to numerous parents, and finally decided on the one preschool for your toddler.

    It is time to start preschool. Your child has been prepped about the first day of preschool and was sent to bed early.

    So are you excited about the first pre-k drop-off?

    If you’re like most parents, you are dreading the first day of preschool or daycare.

    This is probably the first time you will be separated from your baby for a long stretch of time.

    As much as it’s hard for you, it’s a lot harder for your toddler.

    Starting preschool can be exciting but also nerve-wracking. People may keep telling you stories of how their preschool kids cried for weeks or months before they could settle in the new place

    … but kids crying on the first day of nursery school is normal

    … screaming and crying are normal

    … separation anxiety in preschoolers is normal

    … eventually, they will stop and the child will adapt to the new environment

    … You just need to get ready and get used to it.

    Experience vs Science

    Many well-meaning people, including experienced teachers, will tell you to drop off, say goodbye, and then leave as quickly as possible without looking back.

    1st day of preschool can be chaotic and overwhelming for the teachers, too. It’s understandable that they want less distraction and parents to be out of the way.

    It is true that most children will stop crying within five minutes after seeing their parents leave.

    This strategy has proven to work in the grownups’ eyes.

    But a strategy that seems to work for grownups (because then we can go about our business) is not always the best for our kids.

    Besides the appearance of it “working”, many people favor this ripping-off-the-band-aid strategy because it seems to make sense. We’ve all had that “get it over with” experience.

    But this isn’t the right analogy to use in this case.

    For starters, the brain works a lot more differently than the skin.

    Your child’s brain can think, contemplate and feel emotions. The skin cannot.

    Treating a person’s brain as if you’re treating their skin is like telling an airplane pilot to fly a plane by just “paddling and keeping balance”. It’s not only naive but also dangerous.

    The first day of preschool can begin without drama. Sending a 3-year-old to preschool can be a positive experience.

    In the next section, we’ll look at tips on how to help your toddler adjust to this big day.

    Some of the advice is counter-intuitive or counter-conventional wisdom, but they are backed by extensive studies by psychologists and researchers.

    The advance in technology and brain studies has given us a lot of information on child development. This new knowledge helps us understand child behavior previously misunderstood, dispel old beliefs and allow us to raise healthier and happier kids.

    Here are some tips on how to help ease preschooler separation anxiety on the first day of preschool.

    1. Plan to spend lots of time on the first day

    at the preschool or daycare

    You may receive a lot of advice from experienced parents when you’re preparing for this big day for your preschooler.

    You may hear that parents shouldn’t linger. Otherwise, it would be harder for the child to separate, and the child would be less likely to interact with the new people and environment.

    So tip #1 is exactly the opposite of this traditional view.

    A child learns about this world by observing and experimenting.

    If you were the toddler still trying to figure out this world, when you were brought to an unfamiliar place and the person you trusted most left immediately, what would you think?

    Would you think that …

    “I’m in good hands now. I should trust these new people like Mommy told me to”, or

    “Oh no, Mommy runs off. Is this a bad place? Who are these people”?

    Most younger toddlers would panic.

    They’re scared of separation and they’re anxious about what this new environment would entail.

    They don’t understand why you’re leaving, why they’re left behind and what these new people and new places would do to them.

    Evolutionarily speaking, it was dangerous for a young child to be away from her parents.

    Separation anxiety is a very useful trait built into our genes because it was critical for helpless young kids to stay close to their parents to survive.

    That is why the separation distress system in the lower brain is genetically programmed to be hypersensitive. 

    With the development of the frontal lobes, which doesn’t complete until our mid-twenties, adults learn to inhibit this system and bring it under control cognitively.

    But your toddler is not there yet. In fact, they’re still years away from having reliable control of their cognition.

    So your toddler’s panicking is normal.

    It doesn’t mean she’s weak, spoiled, needy, or clingy.

    If your child is crying and fussing during the first drop-off, stay for longer with him.

    Most teachers will tell you to just leave.

    But what if you’re the toddler, do you want to be abandoned when you’re in distress?

    Although separation anxiety is a normal part of toddlerhood, it doesn’t mean we ignore it or let it run its course.

    When a kid feels rejected or abandoned, the parts activated in his brain are the same parts activated by physical pain. That means the pain of being rejected resembles physical pain​1,2​.

    Just like we don’t ignore a child when he’s physically hurting, we don’t ignore a child’s emotional pain from separation.

    Parents being responsive to their child’s distress has been proven to link to better social-emotional competence and the development of secure attachment​3​. Consistent responsive parenting is also associated with faster cognitive and social development in young children​4​.

    Not every toddler will suffer from severe separation anxiety.

    Given enough prior preparation and maturity, your child may be able to understand what preschool is about and will not cry much.

    In this case, confirm with your preschool kid when you will return and do that.

    But children that are younger or have a harder time, may require more help. Do NOT feel pressured to abandon your child just because the teachers say it’s ok.

    2. Lots of hugging and holding

    When we are distressed, our lower brain triggers the release of the stress hormone, cortisol, to prepare our body for a fight-or-flight reaction. 

    To help a child in distress, hugging is one of the most effective ways.

    Hugging or holding facilitates the release of oxytocin, a feel-good chemical, that can cause the level of cortisol to drop.

    3. Say goodbye when leaving and point out the time of return

    No sneaky disappearance – sneaky disappearance may make the parents feel better because they don’t have to face the child’s devastating cries.

    But to the child, being abandoned damages the child’s trust in you.

    So don’t just sneak away. Say goodbye before you leave to build trust.

    Some parents develop a goodbye routine to make the departure slightly easier and more fun (e.g. goodbye song, goodbye handshake, etc.)

    Point to the clock and let him know when you will return to pick him up (and mean it!) even if your child doesn’t know how to read the clock yet.

    It’s important that he knows you will return at some point.

    4. Pass the holding on to a teacher

    Sometimes it is not possible for parents to stay this long. Sometimes your toddler may still be upset even though you’ve already stayed for a long time to help her adapt.

    If your child still really cannot calm down when you leave, have a sensitive teacher hold her.

    Ask the teacher to spend time talking to her and calming her.

    Your toddler must not be still crying or extremely anxious when the holding ends.

    Young children cannot regulate their own emotions effectively. They may require a lot of external help to do so​5​.

    5. Shorter days at first

    Pick up the child early on day one.

    Over the next few days, slowly increase the time he stays to ease him into a full-day program.

    Even if a child seems fine, it doesn’t mean he is fine inside.

    Cortisol has a circadian cycle. It is naturally high in the morning and reduces as the day goes on. Studies show that young children in daycare have levels of cortisol continually rising throughout the day rather than falling despite the lack of detectable distress from the outside​6​.

    A child can be in distress without crying or looking stressed.

    His emotion is just hidden or bottled up.

    This is particularly common in cultures where the crying of children, especially boys, is highly discouraged.

    To make things worse, children who do not appear to be upset are less likely to get comforted, prolonging the internal dysregulation. 

    Having a sustained high level of cortisol can lead to hypersensitivity of a child’s distress response system and a multitude of health issues later in life.

    So even if the child has stopped crying or seems to be doing fine, it is still better to have shorter days at first.

    6. Always be positive and encouraging

    On drop off or pick up, be encouraging and be patient, even when the child may not be in her best behavior. 

    Help the child feel that going to preschool is a positive experience. It’s not a place where her normal behavior will be criticized or reprimanded.

    Positive life experience in the early years forms an important foundation on a child’s brain development.

    Final Thoughts On The Big Day For PreK

    Not all of us can afford the time or resources to follow all of the abovementioned advice on the first day of preschool. It does not mean, however, that we should ignore the real effects on our children and live in denial.

    In life, we make tradeoffs within our means based on what we know is best. Get all the facts before making a decision. Knowing you’ve already done your best with what you know is all that matters and there is no need for mom guilt.

    For some families, preschool is the parent’s first opportunity to be socially judged whether we are apt parents (by teachers, of all people). They may be under pressure to do what other parents do or what the “authority” tells them. Instead, make decisions in the best interest of your child. Be a good role model to them by not caving in under social pressure.

    First day of preschool | BabyCenter

    Preschool is a big deal, marking the start of your child’s official school career. Even if your child has been in group childcare, they may feel nervous about the first day of preschool. To ease the transition, try to visit the school with your child and spend some time there before school starts. You can also read books about going to preschool, buy a special backpack or lunch box, and talk about the preschool routine. As part of your preschool prep, make sure to give your child emotional support, too.

    What to do on the first day of preschool

    Start the day off strong by celebrating this milestone in your child’s life. Consider making a special breakfast and spending extra time with your child in the morning of the first day. Give yourself enough time so you don’t have to rush. As your child heads off to school, think about giving them a transitional object that they can take with them from home to school. Depending on your preschool’s policy, this could be a picture of your family, a lovey, or a special toy.

    Talk with your child about what to expect, especially when it comes to saying goodbye to you. For example, you can tell your child that you’ll walk them into school, help them put their things in their cubby, then give them a big hug goodbye. It can be helpful to establish a regular good-bye routine that you do each day at drop off (e.g. a hug, high five, or phrase like “see you later, alligator”).

    It’s also wise to build in room for flexibility. You never really know how drop off will go, so plan ahead for different scenarios. Think about what you’ll do if your child cries, and know what your school’s policies are regarding where parents drop off and how long parents are allowed to stay in the classroom.

    It’s a good idea to involve the teacher if your child is having a hard time. And once you say goodbye, leave rather than coming back to check in.

    Preparing your child for the first day of preschool

    Let’s admit it: Change is hard on all of us. Think about how you’ve felt the night before you started a new job – and then think about how many new things your child faces when they start preschool or moves to a new class.

    Young kids have a lot of fears – especially when doing something they haven’t done before. Preschool fears can cause them to lie awake at night (or sleep more than normal), backtrack on potty training, or suddenly exhibit aggressive behavior.

    Your child may know exactly what they are afraid of – the big slide on the school playground, or having to use an unfamiliar toilet – or they may just feel scared about school without being able to tell you why. Either way, a few simple strategies will help them feel more comfortable with the new experiences ahead:

    Get them talking

    Encourage your child to open up about anything they’re worried about.

    If your child isn’t very verbal, try playing games that introduce the idea of coming and going: Engage your child in a round of hide-and-seek, or slide cars in and out of a toy train tunnel. Then use the game as a launching pad to talk about how the cars – and your child – will always come back when they go somewhere.

    You can also set an example by gently relating your own fears: “Sometimes I feel scared when I meet a new person, but I try to be brave and say hi anyway.”

    Once they start preschool, ask your child to share about school, but don’t pressure them to share too much. If you want to get more details from your preschooler, ask specific questions like “What was your favorite toy at school today?” rather than broad questions like “How was your day?”

    Don’t minimize your child’s feelings

    It’s natural to want to comfort your child by saying, “Don’t worry, you’ll make lots of friends at preschool.” But this can actually make them feel more intimidated, since it sends the message that you expect your child to be popular.

    Instead, let your child know that you sympathize. “It’s really scary to go to a new school, isn’t it?” you might say. “How could we make it easier?” And, of course, never give your child the impression that you think their worries are silly or trivial.

    Try to keep things consistent at home

    Too many changes at once can be disruptive. For the first few weeks before and after starting preschool, try not to plan too many things after school. Allow your child a chance to relax and decompress after the stress of going through a big transition.

    Let your child take the lead

    Involve your child as much as possible in finding solutions to their fears. After all, your child is more likely to try a strategy that they thought of – at least partly – on their own.

    For a younger or less verbal preschooler, offer several possible “fixes” for your child’s dilemma, then ask them which they think might work. (See below for specific fears and possible solutions to try.)

    Visit if you can

    If your child is starting preschool or moving to another class, they may worry about unfamiliar surroundings. Help your child feel more comfortable by visiting before school starts.

    If your child hasn’t met their teacher yet, make the introductions and encourage your child to join in an activity or two. Help your child find the cubby or hook where they’ll store their things, and let your child check out the tempting new materials. That way, on the first day of school you can say, “Hey, now you can go back and play with that game you saw!”

    Preschoolers often feel anxious about a new playground, especially if it feels big or has challenging equipment. To remedy this, you might be able to visit the schoolyard after hours so your child can climb on the play equipment or ride their tricycle without the intimidating presence of other kids.

    The most common preschool fears, and how to ease them

    Leaving you

    On the first day of school, your child may well cry when you leave. In fact, your child may cry every morning for a few days, or even for a few weeks. It’s a painful process for both of you, and you may cry, too (just try not to do it in front of your child).

    Don’t panic or feel bad when your child cries, though. The truth is, their tears don’t mean that they doesn’t like their new school – in fact, your child may soon grow to love it. It’s just that they don’t want to be there without you.

    It’s common and developmentally appropriate for preschoolers to experience some separation anxiety. They’re beginning to have a sense of time and know you won’t be coming back to get them any minute, and that’s a hard reality to come to terms with.

    The first – and perhaps the hardest – thing you have to do is leave, as calmly as you can. Give your child a big hug, tell them you’ll pick them up after lunch or nap, and then depart, even if you hear them wailing behind you. (If you see a meltdown coming, enlist a teacher’s help in involving your child in a game or activity – or simply sitting with them until the emotion passes.)

    Veteran teachers say the most common mistake parents make is to turn back or prolong good-byes until they turn into tearful marathons. Instead, leave promptly and call the teacher for an update an hour or two later. Chances are, you’ll be comforted by a report that your child stopped crying soon after you left and has spent the morning playing with their new friends.

    It also helps to find out from the teacher what your preschooler did that day, and to talk about it with them when they get home: “So, you made a collage and played today?” Some parents also make a nightly ritual of naming their child’s new school pals in a song, story, or prayer. Anything you can do to emphasize the daily routine will help your child adjust and quiet their fears.

    Using a different potty

    One of the toughest changes some kids face when starting preschool is learning to use a new bathroom. With so many preschools requiring kids to be potty trained before they’re enrolled, using the bathroom can become the focus of a lot of stress – for both you and your child.

    If you’re panicking because a potty training deadline is fast approaching, take a deep breath – it may be time to rethink your strategy. First, call the school, explain the problem, and find out how hard and fast the rule really is. You may find that the school is open to exceptions, in which case request that your child be one of them.

    It’s not a good idea, experts say, to push a child to potty train before they’re ready just to meet an arbitrary deadline. If the school holds firm and your child really isn’t ready, you may need to consider holding them back a bit longer.

    An alternative is to put your child in cotton underpants a few days before school starts, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Be prepared for accidents and send extra clothes to school ahead of time. Accidents are common and expected and should be handled matter-of-factly. But many a child has surprised everyone by staying dry (most of the time, at least) when inspired by a classroom full of potty-trained peers.

    Participating in a group

    It might look like fun to us, but to a shy or retiring preschooler, circle time can be, well, torture. Some kids might be overwhelmed by unfamiliar stories and songs or dread being called on to talk. If this is the case, work with your child’s teacher to see if they can sit on the sidelines to observe circle time before participating.

    One way to help your child weather the spotlight is to practice beforehand. On the way to school, for instance, you might ask, “What would you like to share today? Do you want to tell about the caterpillar you found?”

    You might also want to ask the teacher for a list of songs the kids sing in class, then listen to them at home so they’re familiar. Knowing all the words to “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” and “Wheels on the Bus” might make your child more comfortable joining in.

    Making new friends

    Preschoolers can be just as daunted by a roomful of strangers as the rest of us are. To help your child feel less shy, introduce them to as many of their future classmates as you can on your visits to the school.

    If a school directory is available, consider using it to set up a playdate with other families that go to the school. Also, many preschools set up new-student meetups before school starts so kids can start getting to know eachother.

    If one of your child’s buddies will be in the same school or class, so much the better. Play up the friendship as much as you can, getting the kids together for playdates and emphasizing the fact that they’ll both be going off to “big kid” school or moving up to a new class together. If possible, coordinate your schedules so both kids arrive at the same time on the first day and can walk in together.

    As time goes on, keep snapshots of your child’s school buddies on the refrigerator or in their room and talk about them often. After all, preschool is your child’s home away from home, and when your child is there, these kids are their extended family.

    Starting preschool: practical tips to help

    Before children start preschool

    Your child is probably feeling excited as well as a bit nervous about starting preschool. If you start getting your child ready in the weeks and months before the first day, it can help with any mixed feelings. Here are some tips.

    Visit the preschool
    Many preschools offer orientation visits. During these visits, children can see and experience what they’ll do at preschool, who they’ll meet, and what happens during the preschool day.

    With permission, you could take some photos of the preschool to show your child before they start. Some preschools have a preparation or orientation book that you can take home with you.

    Talk about preschool
    You can talk about the things your child will do at preschool. For example, ‘Stella, do you remember we saw blocks at preschool? You can build with them like you do at home’. You could look at photos of the preschool together and talk about some of the things that are different from home, like the toilets and playground.

    If your child doesn’t seem interested when you talk about preschool, don’t push the conversation.

    Keeping things low key can be a good idea too. If you say things like ‘Isn’t it exciting that you’re starting preschool?’, your child might start to feel more anxious because it sounds like a big deal.

    Read books about preschool
    Here are some good books for children about starting preschool:

    • First day by Margaret Wild
    • I love you all day long by Francesca Rusackas
    • Maisy goes to preschool by Lucy Cousins
    • Tom goes to kindergarten by Margaret Wild
    • What to expect at preschool by Heidi Murkoff
    • Victoria Bubbles and the great preschool adventure by Lizzie Dingle.

    Visit the local library
    Visiting the local library for story times can help your child get used to listening to books as part of a group.

    When children start preschool

    Here are some tips and strategies to help you and your child in the early days and weeks of starting preschool.

    Start gradually
    Many preschools invite parents to stay for a while during the day in the early days. Speak with the preschool teacher and work out a plan that works for you, your child and the preschool.

    It’s a good idea to tell your child how long you’re staying, so they don’t get a surprise when you leave.

    Have a routine for preschool mornings
    Routines can help your child feel safe and secure, particularly when new things are happening. You could set up a routine for preschool mornings – for example, get up, have breakfast, clean teeth, get dressed, put on sunscreen, pack lunchbox and go. You could even make a chart with pictures showing the different steps in your routine.

    Have a goodbye routine
    Say goodbye to your child so that they know you’re going, and tell them that you’ll pick them up at the end of the day. You could choose a special place to say goodbye, or an activity to do before you go. For example, ‘If you wave to me from that window, I’ll be able to see you’, or ‘Which book will we read before I go?’

    Make sure your child is paying attention when you say goodbye, then say goodbye once and leave. A lot of goodbyes can be stressful for both you and your child.

    Communicate with the preschool teachers
    Children get confidence from seeing warm, positive and friendly interactions between important people in their lives, like their parents and teachers.

    Good communication with your child’s teacher also helps you share relevant information so the teacher knows how best to respond to your child. For example, you might let the teacher know about things like grandparents visiting from overseas, your child’s favourite songs or books, or simple words in the language your family speaks at home.

    Celebrate your child’s achievements
    Joining a new group, meeting new people, being in a new environment and learning new ways of doing things are big achievements for your child. You can build your child’s confidence by celebrating them.

    For example, praise your child when they meet new people or try something new. Or you could encourage your child to call a family member to share what they’ve achieved at preschool.

    Have back-up collection plans
    Many preschool sessions finish at a specific time. If you tell your child you’ll be there at a specific time, it’s important that you’re there. It’s a good idea to have a back-up plan, so that if you’re delayed or there’s a problem, someone you and your child know and trust can be there to pick them up.

    If the person who normally picks up your child from preschool can’t make it, make sure the preschool teachers know who’s coming instead. The teachers will let your child know and ensure your child’s safety.

    When children are worried about preschool

    Starting preschool can be exciting for your child. But anxiety and tiredness are common too – there’s so much for your child to get used to. You might notice that your child isn’t eating as much, or wants to sleep more. Your child might even seem less happy than usual.

    Your child might be worried about finding friends, knowing what to do or being separated from family. Your child might get upset when you leave.

    Your child might also worry about what you’ll be doing while they’re at preschool. Will you be doing something special, and will your child be missing out?

    Tips to handle worries about starting preschool

    • Let your child know what you’ll be doing while they’re at preschool. This can help reassure your child that they’re not missing out, especially if you can save their favourite activities for when they’re with you.
    • Talk with your child about preschool routines. Toby Forward’s book The first day of school is a good discussion starter.
    • Ask the preschool teacher whether your child can bring something they love from home, like a teddy bear, pillow or blanket. If the preschool allows this, these objects can help your child feel safer. You can gradually phase them out as your child feels more settled.
    • Talk to the teacher if your child gets upset when you leave. Preschool teachers are experienced at helping children through separation and will have ideas to help you and your child.
    • Ask the teacher about what might be worrying your child. The teacher can tell you what happens during the preschool day. For example, your child might be worried about using the toilets, eating the food the preschool provides, or finding their things.
    • Talk with the teacher about strategies to handle specific worries. For example, if your child is worried about food, you might be able to pack some familiar food. If using the toilets seems to be the problem, the teacher can help your child get used to them. Labelling your child’s things can help your child keep track of them.

    It can take time for your child to get used to the routine of going to preschool. If you feel your child isn’t settling in, and advice from the teacher isn’t working, you could also try talking to your GP or your child and family health nurse.

    When children don’t want to go to preschool anymore

    Sometimes children’s excitement carries them through the first few days of preschool. But after a few days or weeks, you might notice that your child seems less keen to go.

    In this situation you can keep reacting positively to what your child does at preschool. This can help to spark your child’s enthusiasm again. For example, you might say ‘I love that finger painting you did at preschool. It makes our fridge look so colourful!’

    Getting to know other children and families can help your child build friendships that will help them settle into preschool over the longer term.

    A predictable routine can also help your child realise that preschool is a regular part of their life now. But if your child still doesn’t want to go to preschool, talk to the preschool teacher, your GP or your child and family health nurse.

    The stepladder approach is a step-by-step way of helping with anxiety in children. It’s based on the principle of ‘graded exposure’. This means starting off small, tackling the little things before you face the really scary things.

    Your feelings about your child starting preschool

    Your child takes cues from you, so if you’re worried about preschool, they’ll pick up on this. But if you show your child that you think they can manage at preschool, they’ll start to believe it too.

    If you do have worries, it can help to talk with the preschool teachers. They can tell you how your child is going. It often helps to talk with other parents too.

    First 10 Days of School – Lesson Plans and MORE!

    The first ten days of school are exhausting for both teachers and students! So many routines to teach and so many little learners to get to know!

    My lesson plans for the first ten days of school are almost always the same, with a few little tweaks here and there.  To make back to school easier for you, I’m sharing my lesson plans for the first ten days of school! Everyone has been asking for them, so here they are!

    The link is at the bottom of the post! Did I mention there is an EDITABLE version too?

    Grab the FREEBIE by entering your email in the box at the bottom of this post. This post contains affiliate links which means I earn a tiny commission when you use my links at no cost to you.

    You will find daily lesson plans and weekly center plans! I put at least one new thing in each center every week, so those are in there for you too.

    The number one most important thing you will need to do in the first few weeks is to begin building trust and relationships with each little learner so that they can feel safe and happy.  If they feel safe and happy, most likely, the moms will feel safe and happy leaving their children with you each day.

    The first two weeks, I sprinkle in tons of All About Me themed activities during the day to help build that relationship with each child in my classroom.  It also helps the child get to know me as well.   I always participate in every All About Me type activity we do and try to include any other teachers or therapists throughout our room or building.

    For most of our little learners, this is the FIRST time they have been to school.   Most have no idea how to sit at circle, get in line, eat snacks or lunch at school, wash their hands, clean up, wait their turn, and wipe their own bottoms when they go #2.

    The first month is all about teaching all of these routines! It is not wasted time, I promise. Take the time to use visuals and teach each and every classroom routine and expectation.  Take the time to teach them now so you can just use cues later.

     This Character Ed (aka Social Skills) Bundle has visuals for almost every classroom routine!

    Starting on the first day, we practice our morning routine: say bye to mom/dad, put things away, answer the question of the day, sign in, and pick a table time activity.  I go over the arrival routine chart, and I model the routine (pretending like I am a student in the class), talking out loud about what steps I need to do so students can hear and see me doing the routine.

    Then I have the students put on their backpacks, and we all walk outside the classroom.   Students take turns practicing the morning routine, a few at a time, with me cheering them on using the chart as a visual.

    It is amazing how much different the arrival time is on the second day just by teaching the arrival routine on the first day!

    You will see in my lesson plans I do many activities to help teach our class rules: We take care of ourselves, each other, our school, and our world.

    I send a note home to the students’ families, we make class books, and we make anchor charts. We read children’s books and discuss if the character is following the rules. We also talk about how the students feel and how they think others might feel when they do/don’t follow the rules.

    We also talk about what could happen if someone doesn’t follow a rule (ex: someone could get hurt, others wouldn’t be able to learn, etc.).  I always use natural consequences as examples.

    You can grab my Class Rules pack HERE from my store.

    Fire drills and any other emergency/safety drills can be super scary for our little students. I teach emergency drills just like I teach any other routine…with visual supports and social stories! We read The Fire Drill at circle time, I model the routine, and the whole class practices a fire drill.  Now students know what to expect when that loud alarm goes off later in the week.

    I also teach the Playground Rules and it is amazing the difference it makes! You can see in my lesson plans that I slowly introduce all the different choices students have on the playground (balls, bikes, chalk, swings, sandbox, hopscotch, etc.), teaching the rule for each those first 10 days.

    On day 5, I introduce the most AMAZING thing ever…..Green and Red Choices at a class meeting.

    You can read all about Green and Red Choices in detail HERE. It has been the best thing I have ever created. It has truly changed the way my students behave in my classroom!

    During center time the first 5 or so days, I introduce and teach about each center in our classroom. My classroom has 5 centers: art, blocks, pretend, library, and discovery (math, science, STEM).

    Instead of open centers the first few weeks, I spend time during center time introducing each center in more detail.  I take the whole class (my new class only has 10 kids), and we sit on the floor or at the table in the center.

    I introduce the center name, color, and symbol. We talk about the materials in the center, how to use them, who we could pretend to be, and how to clean up.  Then the students play in that center for about 20 minutes.  When we are done, we go to another center, and we do the same thing all over again!

    After I have introduced each center once, the second time, we go to the center as a class to review it.  It takes about 5 minutes and then students play in that center for about 25 minutes.  Then we go to another center, review it, and play in that center.

    When I taught full day (18 kids a day), I split the class in half.  Each group went into a different center with a teacher, and after 30 minutes, the kids switched and went to the other center for 30 minutes. The other center times (we had 3 center times a day because we were full day), students could just play in centers as they wished.

    You can find this STEM I Can Build anchor chart HERE.

    During circle time, I read a book about each center, and we do some kind of interactive anchor chart.

    You can grab this Parts of a Scientist anchor chart freebie HERE. Want to know more about how I manage center time? Click HERE.

    I always have colored noodles in the sensory table the first few weeks because it’s super easy to clean up. I bought the noodles from the grocery store, and I dyed them using food coloring and rubbing alcohol. Put a dustpan under the sensory table and teach students how to sweep up the items that fall onto the floor.  You can make a square with washi tape on the floor for a visual support as well!

    I always like to set up a home theme in the pretend center the first month of school.

    You can read all about my home living dramatic play theme HERE.

    In the library center is my writing table.  I place family word cards and student name cards on the writing table for the first two weeks.  I have seen how much students enjoy seeing their names and how much it helps them get excited about writing, creating an authentic love for writing in my class!

    You can get this family word cards freebie when you sign up for my newsletter HERE.

    Each week I add something new to each center, and for back to school, I use a school theme.

    These fun, hands-on Math and Literacy School-Themed Centers are what I use for some of my table time activities too!

     

     

    Make sure you download the lesson plans, CLOSE OUT of the internet, and THEN open the lesson plans to print and/or edit. If you don’t, the formatting will be off, and some of the squares will be filled with colors. You will need Powerpoint to edit lesson plans.

    If you are wondering what my classroom looked like on the first day, I have a treat for you! I did a Facebook LIVE tour of my classroom after the first day of school this year. I’m showing you EVERYTHING… my classroom, my storage areas, my office, the bathroom, and even inside my cabinets. Oh, the camera is sideways for about two minutes then it flips back to normal.  Sorry about that!

    real students.

    How is the first day at the language school

    1118 Language courses abroad

    Arriving at a language school is always an exciting experience. We tell you how not to get confused on the first day.

    How to get to the language school for the first time

    If the student lives in a host family, she will definitely tell you the best way to get to the school. If you have to travel by public transport, they will help you find a stop, tell you when to get off and explain how to pay the fare.

    In the case when the school has the format of a language camp, then employees accompany the children to classes.

    Well, if you have already reached the age of majority and live in a residence, then information on how to get to the school will be provided by the school or an EFL specialist.


    On the subject: Residence or host family: making the right choice


    On the spot: where to go and what to do

    All new students are asked to arrive at the school by a certain time. Then they are taken under the wing of the staff of the educational institution. Usually newcomers are gathered in the lobby or assembly hall, where they can get to know the staff and teachers of the school, as well as other students. They immediately hold a meeting where they talk about the school: the rules, the schedule, what is on the territory, what you can use, how to behave, and so on.

    Getting to know the school, its staff and facilities

    After the meeting, a tour of the school is conducted: you will find out where the classrooms are and what they look like, the dining room, the library, the lounge, the Internet class – in a word, all the premises and services necessary for study and recreation. Here you will find out the hours of their work, which you can use for free and for money.

    All important information is always duplicated on the bulletin board and handout flyers. Don’t worry if you don’t remember something right away. You can always ask and find out the necessary information at the school itself from any teacher or on the website.

    Perhaps on the first day you will be given study materials. But most often this is done the next day, when it is already known in which group you will study.

    Grouping

    A language school abroad is always a hodgepodge of students, nationalities, cultures and accents. To make it comfortable for everyone to study with each other, students are divided into groups depending on the level of the language. The level is determined by testing.

    How is testing done

    The format of the test depends on the school. Usually these are several tasks that reveal your level in language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. The test may include several dialogues and passages of text, multiple choice questions and a short conversation with the teacher, sometimes writing a short text.

    What does the test result mean and why you shouldn’t be afraid of it

    The test is not graded in the usual sense. Do not worry: it is impossible to fail such a test, because it determines your language level and the group in which you will study. The results are usually ready on the same day. They are posted on the bulletin board at the school: your last name and group number opposite. No twos and fives.

    What to do if you are in a group above or below your level

    It may happen that the test incorrectly revealed your level. Perhaps you got worried and ended up in a weak group, or vice versa, answered at random and ended up with stronger students. It’s OK. If you think you would be better off studying at a different level, you can always ask to be transferred. Probably, the teacher himself will notice the inconsistency and offer you another group. Share your doubts with the teacher directly or contact an EFL specialist – they will definitely help you. The school is interested in your success, so you will study in a group that suits you best.

    Why you should not worry if the first day seemed difficult for you

    It is normal to worry and feel confused on the first day in a new place, and even in a foreign country. It is important to remember that this experience is completely new for all students. For each student, English is not native, and everyone came to get new knowledge, fight the fear of making a mistake, in order to finally feel confident in the language.

    Teachers and school administrators are well aware and
    always ready to give advice, help and support. Not
    be afraid to approach the reception and ask questions, even if they seem to you
    stupid or strange or you are afraid that you will not understand. All employees have
    great work experience and
    for many years they are hardly surprised by anything. If, nevertheless, they are in
    in case of difficulty, please contact your EFL Accompanying Manager.

    The weather on this holiday, to put it mildly, did not please. Cloudy and rainy in the morning. Forecasters promise that during the day the air will warm up to +26 … +28 degrees. But it’s still pretty chilly outside.

    Although, in fact, not all teachers are happy with bouquets on September 1.

    — I would probably like a pack of paper. This is a strange desire, but for work it is the most universal gift for a teacher, I think, – confessed biology teacher Aitkali Kaminov.

    We have published a whole collection of teachers’ stories about what they would be happy to receive as a gift on Knowledge Day.

    Will there be distance?

    The main fear of the schoolchildren’s parents was the news about the possible transfer of their children to distance learning. The governor finally reassured the people. On the eve of the opening of the tram line to Verkhnyaya Pyshma, he said that all quarantine measures would be applied individually to classes, and not to entire schools.

    – We are not going to introduce any restrictions in terms of distance. There is a clear algorithm: if a coronavirus is suddenly detected, [children] are examined, some quarantine measures are possible, but there will be no distances,” said Yevgeny Kuyvashev.

    But the 109th lyceum was left without a holiday today. Lucky only first-graders.

    – The management decided not to bother and arranged a line only for the first classes. As a result, the rest of the school does not have a holiday at all, only a class hour in elementary school, organized for the issuance of textbooks, and that’s it. As a result, those children who went to the second and third grades never participated in the line at all in their lives due to restrictions in previous years, and they have no holiday and no desire to go to school. And in general, high school students were simply given textbooks in advance, back in August, and today they don’t need to go to school at all,” an E1.RU reader wrote. – Maybe the leaders of the educational system will read this and take measures so that at least in subsequent years the children of this lyceum have a holiday. And yes, even if parents are not allowed in, at least they will organize something for the children.

    Residents of houses on Elmash rebelled against the parents of schoolchildren. Every autumn, for the owners of apartments in buildings No. 80, 82, 84 and 86 on Frezerovshchikov Street, the beginning of the school year opens the season of traffic jams right at the entrances.

    Such a picture in the yard on Milling Machines has been observed for many years in a row from the beginning of autumn to the end of spring

    The fact is that parents bring their children in cars to school No. 167. Some try to drive through the yard, others leave the cars right in the yard. As a result, the residents themselves cannot safely leave the house, let alone move out. This situation happened today, and because of the tightness and congestion, there was a fight.

    But the residents have already figured out how to teach car parents to walk more.

    On September 1, traffic inspectors also took part in the lines. The police congratulated the schoolchildren on the beginning of the new school year and reminded them of the observance of the Rules of the Road.

    — From now on, schoolchildren will have to move almost daily from home to school and back, attend clubs and sections, therefore, in their speeches, traffic inspectors drew attention to the safety of children on the roads. In the first days of September, such reminders are especially relevant, because after the summer children return to the learning rhythm and during the adaptation period they can be absent-minded and inattentive, the traffic police in the Sverdlovsk region emphasized.

    The police advised parents of first-graders to walk several times with their child along the route from home to school and back, to explain with real examples how to cross the road correctly, what certain road signs mean, what dangerous situations can arise on the way to school and how to avoid them. 1 September 19:480002 This concludes our festive online dedicated to the Day of Knowledge.

      My first day at school

      In the second year of our stay in Pankovka, I started going to school. Every year on the first of September, the school yard is usually filled with a motley crowd of children of all ages: high schoolers, middle schoolers, and freshmen. All children come without parents. What a shame for someone brought in by their parents! Everyone looks at him as if he were a curiosity, and the student becomes uncomfortable. You need to show that you are already an adult, so parents are superfluous here.

      This year, September was very hot, and I came to school in my panties, just like I was playing in the yard with the children. In addition, the first day of school did not seem to me something special. But the large crowd in the school yard struck me. Moreover: apart from me, no one was in panties. Everyone was dressed pretty well. Even festive. Although I didn’t care much, I was still confused.

      Schoolchildren stood in small groups and talked to each other. I didn’t know anyone and couldn’t connect with anyone. Tasya, Genya and Tolya left earlier, and I didn’t see them anywhere. I stood aside, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, one of the crowd of high school girls who were standing near me points her finger at me and says:

      – And they teach us in class that there are no wild people! I don’t believe it. Look! Here’s a wild man! Look how he has grown! What long body hair he has. Everyone turned in my direction and laughed out loud. I felt completely destroyed. For the first time I looked at my body: it was thin and bony. Her arms and legs were covered with long golden hair. My face flushed. How did I not notice this before? Am I a wild man? But this cannot be! These thoughts swirled in my head and I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, I started running home. Barely crossed the threshold, I burst into tears. Grandmother ran up and began to console me. And my mother, having learned what was the matter, said:

      – That’s what you need. Who goes half naked to school? The girl is right to call you a savage. Tomorrow you will put on a dress and go again.

      – Never! I replied, determined not to go to school anymore. But the next day, when I put on a light, light dress, everything looked different, and I again went to school.

      My school years in Pankovka were nothing special. Immediately in the first class, I became insanely bored. I already knew how to read and write, and could solve simple problems. I learned all this at home with my father, mother or grandmother Marfa, and Ilya Petrovich showed me a lot. Three weeks later, they decided to transfer me to the second grade, despite the fact that it was still too early for me to go even to the first.

      We were immediately called “Octobers”, that is, we were the youngest communists. After school, we often stayed at school and took part in various amateur clubs. I remember how for some reason I was appointed to lead the choir of junior high school students. I didn’t particularly like singing and soon gave it up. Most of all I liked driving across the steppe or spending whole days near the Dnieper, especially in the summer, during the holidays. I swam well and sometimes swam very far, where even adults did not dare to swim. The Dnieper was wide here, but I swam all alone to the other side. Now that I think about it, I just can’t believe I could do such a thing. Sometimes I even wonder how I didn’t drown in the Dnieper? Probably because I was too thin, too light, the water kept me on the surface.

      I remember how one day I gathered a bunch of children, put them all in a boat and we sailed along the middle of the Dnieper. Someone noticed us and reported to the parents of the children. They ran ashore and raised a whole panic. They called my father. Running ashore, my father took off his belt and, threatening me, rushed along the shore after the boat and shouted that I should immediately moor to the shore. And I shouted back that I would land if he left. When he left, we landed on the beach. Parents grabbed their children, and I ran into the grove so that my father would not find me.

      There were many such cases. For my desperation, they called me the “red team”, because there was always a whole bunch of guys around me. We climbed trees, destroyed bird nests, swung on the tops – all this seemed to us courageous and funny. I did well at school. It was easy for me to learn and even boring. But everything went its own way. Parents lived their own lives: they went to visit or received guests at home. It was fun and peaceful.

      But then I began to notice that many children do not come to school. Groups of schoolchildren have been organized in almost all classes, who are supposed to go to the homes of those who are absent, talk to parents and “pull” children to school. I was also assigned to one of these groups. And then one day, after class, we went to the village to “attract” those absent from our class. We went from house to house where our classmates lived. Sometimes we were not allowed into the house, they said that the child was sick and would soon come to school. Others got angry and sent away without any explanation. Only a few spoke the real truth: there is nothing to eat. They showed us schoolchildren lying on the stove with swollen bellies and swollen. And only now it became clear to me that not everything was safe everywhere, as it was then at home. The father had a good position and belonged to the privileged class. Therefore, we had white bread, and butter, and other products. Most of the population in the early 30s was dying of hunger. People ate grass, collected all kinds of seeds from weeds, “porridge” from acacia flowers and made bread.

      The schools were almost empty at that time. To attract children to study, hot lunches were organized at the school. All visitors were given a hot lunch once a day. It usually consisted of a thick millet soup and lentils. Everyone had to bring their own plate and spoon. And suddenly the school was filled with children again. Schoolchildren began to bring their brothers and sisters to get something to eat.

      In addition, brigades were also organized to collect ears in the field. After the harvest in the field, many ears of corn lay on the ground. Usually people would go there and collect them for themselves. But the state needed bread. Thus, the ears were collected and given to the state. Some children hid the ears and brought them home, despite the “moral” that the teachers read to us, that, they say, you can’t deceive the state. But since there were not enough collective farmers to collect the ears, the school administration had to put up with some “concealment” of them. At least, even more children came to the harvest than in normal times.

      Although there was enough food in our family and none of us children suspected anything about the famine, some incidents, as if by the way, made me think about the strangeness of some situation. I remember how one day, when I came home from school, I took a large piece of white bread with butter and bacon and wanted to go outside. My grandmother stopped me at the door:

      – Eat some bread and then go outside. You can’t eat bread in the street,” she said sternly.

      I sat down at the table and ate my bread, obeying the strange look of my grandmother’s eyes. Yes, on the street where I played with the children, no one ate white bread. White bread was a luxury at that time. Some children told me how they and their parents go to the steppe to collect kurai, a prickly steppe plant. When it dries, black small grains fall out of it, from which people at that time made pancakes, chicken pancakes. I’ve never tried them, but I don’t think they tasted good. But people ate them. They also ate this “porridge” from acacia, from which the stomach swelled.

      Another strange incident also stuck in my memory for the rest of my life. Once, mother and all of us children, together with Kuznetsova and her two boys, Tenya and Tolya, went to the forest to pick berries. Grandma stayed at home. There were many bushes in the forest, and we scattered through them with baskets. Everyone was in a wonderful mood and called to each other. It was cool and pleasant in the forest in the fresh air. Before that, we had a small picnic during which we laughed and joked a lot. Now everyone tried to collect more berries in the basket and brag to others. Suddenly, from somewhere, an alarmed cry of our mother was heard. I ran out from behind the bushes to the clearing, where she stood and, pale, with trembling lips, said something in a whisper, pointing to a nearby bush. Our entire company, which immediately ran to her cry, huddled around her. Everyone was confused and, in fright, peered intently into the bush where she pointed. A few minutes later, a shaggy head with the overgrown face of a huge man emerged from there. He kind of looked at us wildly. In his hands he held a rusty tin can. He, too, looked as if indecisively at us, huddled together like sheep. Then he turned abruptly and quickly ran away. We only had time to notice how the bushes instantly swayed, and everything calmed down again.

      After standing for two minutes, all of us, now not moving away from each other, began to leave the forest. Fortunately, the road was not far, and we all breathed easier when we found ourselves outside the forest. Now we picked up the pace and quickly set off home. We didn’t pick any berries that day.

      After this incident in the forest, we stopped going for berries. The elders said that now it had become dangerous in the forest – hungry people were prowling everywhere and – anything could happen. This “anything can happen” was a mystery to me for a long time. I often noticed that adults always leave something unsaid, as if hiding something from us children, and therefore the world seemed to me somehow mysterious, inaccessible to me, precisely because I was not an “adult”. Only one more incident, which was also remembered for a lifetime, explained to me what “anything can happen” meant.

      Despite the good life in Pankovka, all of us, children, suffered from malaria. She especially ruffled us in the summer and autumn. She attacked me with extraordinary fury. I remember how one autumn, when school had already begun, I often had to stay at home. Exhausted and withered from high fever and severe attacks, I lay helplessly in the kitchen on the sofa, where, as a rule, it was fun during the day, because there was always someone there. Once I was there with my mother. She was kneading dough for bread. Suddenly, a group of children appeared at the door – I immediately recognized my classmates. It turned out that they came to “pull” me to school, since I had not been for almost a week. At the sight of them, a bright color hit my face. I was ashamed. Once I was in the same brigade for attracting to school, and now they have come to attract me.

      The foreman asked why I didn’t come to school. I lay down and silently looked at them. Mom got angry:

      “Don’t you see,” she said angrily, “she is sick. If she recovers, she will come. I don’t need any attraction!

      Children silently stood at the threshold and looked at the white dough – a sign of luxury at that time. Mom noticed their glances and fell silent. The children started to leave.

      – Don’t come back. She will come herself,” my mother threw after me with such indignation that I had often heard before from other parents.

      But, in fact, it was not this incident that made me understand much about the famine. This happened shortly after the brigade arrived at our house. I still didn’t go to school. It seemed that malaria decided to finish me off. The attacks were repeated both during the day and in the evening. I completely lost strength and stopped eating. One night, after a terribly high temperature, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I noticed that I was lying on a mattress in my parents’ bedroom. His father dressed quickly, his mother stood beside him, giving him clothes. He spoke:

      – If we do nothing, the child will die. We must get to the city immediately. I still have time. Two hours before the ship’s departure.

      Father got dressed, wrapped me in a blanket and, taking my light body in his arms, left the house. It was still a dark night.

      I remember how long he carried me through the forest, over the sand. His proximity made me feel warm. He was sweating from the fast pace, which made me even warmer. We were the only ones on the road. Tall trees stood on both sides and it seemed that the whole forest was quietly alert and mysteriously guarding us from evil spirits. Now I was not afraid at all in the forest, among these silent trees. Occasionally some nocturnal bird would suddenly cry out, breaking the mysterious silence.

      It was beginning to dawn when we arrived at the steamer. He was already standing at the pier, and we immediately boarded the steamer. My father entered the small cabin and put me on the bed. I immediately fell asleep.

      By ten o’clock in the morning we arrived in Nikopol. My father again took me in his arms, but I fell asleep again and woke up only in the doctor’s office, where my father brought me. The doctor in a white coat carefully examined my body, put pressure on my stomach, pounded my joints with a hammer, and after a while pronounced his sentence:

      – Change the climate. Yes, we need to change the climate. This is the only thing that will help.

      He gave some note to his father and talked to him for a long time about something else. Then I drank the bitter powder in a glass of water and we left.

      The sun was shining outside. It was a beautiful warm day. The hum of carts and people filled the air. Father said:

      – And now let’s go to breakfast.

      We went to a restaurant where people were sitting at small tables eating and drinking tea. Others sat at the bar and also ate and drank. White buns and various sausages were laid out under glass in the sideboard. We also sat at a small table, and my father ordered food. A few minutes later we were served tea, thinly sliced ​​bread, and thin and thick slices of sausage on a separate plate. We began to eat and drink tea with gusto. Suddenly, after a few minutes, the father said:

      “Don’t eat that sausage,” he pointed to the wide, thick pieces.

      — Why?

      — She is not good.

      I reluctantly put the wide piece of sausage back on the plate. After we finished breakfast (it was already almost noon), my father went to the buffet to pay and took a plate with sliced ​​wide sausage. He served it to the bartender:

      – Remove this sausage altogether.

      I noticed that he especially emphasized the word “in general” and, oddly enough, the barman just looked at him and, without answering anything, took away the sausage.

      When I was talking at home about our breakfast and about the wide slices of sausage that dad returned to the barman, one of the adults remarked:

      — And they say that people eat human meat in the city. People are dying of hunger more in the villages. In the city, you can still get through. In the villages, everything is taken from the peasants. In addition, crop failure.

      “Yes,” said the grandmother, “did you hear what happened to the Shishkovs?” These are our former neighbors in Bazhanovka. Husband and wife and six children. Mother and father went to the city to get food. The children were left alone at home. The two older ones, a boy and a girl, looked after them. The parents did not return from the city.

      Probably died somewhere along the way. And the children ate the youngest, six years old.

      Now adults talk about it openly, not hiding from us children. This also amazed me. And I realized that “anything can happen” in hunger.

      After the doctor’s visit, my father began to consult with my mother and grandmother about me. They talked about changing the climate, as the doctor advised, but it seemed impossible, since the father could not leave work. But soon the impossible became quite possible. Hunger reached everyone and made its way everywhere. The father was soon informed that the factory was closing due to a lack of workers (starvation). Of course, all employees were laid off, and my father was left without a job. I was still swallowing the bitter pills of quinine and temporarily even became deaf. But then there was hope that we would leave, change the climate, and malaria would disappear.

      After my father was fired, we had to vacate the state house. And, although we were not going anywhere yet, we had to look for another apartment. We really did not want to part with our cozy mansion, with a green grove around it, with the silence and beauty of the surroundings. We were moved to a three-room apartment, a simpler dwelling. Still, it was considered a privilege. Our house was occupied by some more important civil servants. Although my father had already been fired, he still went to the office to “hand over cases.” Only after two or three weeks did he leave for the city to look for a new job. We were alone, and the house became sad. Friends of my parents stopped visiting us, except for my mother’s friend. Grandmother Maria was especially depressed – she was all worried about the future. She had strange dreams that she told us, and in which she believed. But we often consoled her:

      – Do not believe, grandmother, dreams. After all, these are just dreams.

      At school I was taught not to believe in dreams and all sorts of superstitions, and I looked with some disdain at my grandmother’s “backwardness”. Only now, when I write these lines, I regret my stupidity and how I could so blindly believe what we were taught then at school. And Grandma Maria didn’t go to school much, but her life experience was in many ways the best school.

      At that time, brigades were organized in our school to expose the “opium for the people.” In small groups, we had to go from house to house in the village and tell people to take off and burn their icons, because it is darkness and illiteracy. Some people listened to us with curiosity and just shook their heads, even promised to take pictures of the icons. Others made harsh, disapproving remarks:

      — Look what they are taught at school! It’s too early for you to tell adults what to do. Go away so that we don’t even see your spirit!

      In these brigades there were mainly high school students, but also a few “Octobers”, that is, from the second and third grades. My duty was to convince my grandmother to remove the icons. But of course she didn’t want to hear about it. And she succeeded to a certain extent. She told us children terrible stories about those who did not believe in God, about how unbelievers would burn in the fire and what awaits all sinners. She said that God is eternal, that he “sees everything, knows everything and hears everything.

      We had a big and beautiful church in the village. It’s been closed for a long time. The service was no longer there. Every Sunday there was a market near the church. My mother and grandmother also often went there to buy groceries. Especially now, during the famine, food was scarce and everything was expensive. Grandmother every time, passing by the church, stopped and was baptized.

      — Believe, children, in God. He sees everything, hears everything and knows everything,” she always finished, no matter what she said, with her favorite expression.

      “But there are people who don’t believe in God and swear,” brother Ivan once began, “and nothing to them!

      “It’s only for the time being,” Grandmother answered. God will always punish the sinner. Here, somewhere in the same village, there lived a man. He never crossed himself, but, on the contrary, he always mocked God when he passed the temple. Sometimes he even stopped near the church and cursed loudly for others to hear. And then one day he was walking past the temple and suddenly a brick fell on his head. He was immediately killed. That’s how God can punish.

      We, children, sat around our grandmother and listened to her stories, and by some miracle grains of incomprehensible fear of God sank deep into our souls. Standing after that in a group to “expose opium for the people” in someone’s apartment, it was difficult to feel real contempt for those who did not want to take off the icons. Over time, we were dubbed “godless” in the village, and people, having learned about our arrival, locked us at home or drove us away, or simply scolded us loudly, without embarrassment. Many then simply lied, saying that they had already taken off the icons, but in fact they hid them where they were not visible to the aliens. Our mission was not very successful.

      Father still couldn’t find a new job, and the times were hard. Soon he told us to move to Bobrynets, a small town not far from Dnepropetrovsk. Still, it is easier to endure hunger in the city than in the countryside. In some villages, the population began to die of hunger. People went to the cities, leaving their houses and everything they had acquired. In the city one could manage to get a piece of bread. And so we loaded our luggage, furniture and all household utensils onto the carts and went to the steamer. Again we move, again we change our place of residence, again something unknown awaits us.

      Bobrynets was an ugly town, at least where we lived. We rented for a while two small rooms, which were loaded with furniture. Everything around was bare: there were no trees, no water nearby. Carts and cars rumbled along the cobblestone pavement. Everywhere only stone houses, no green groves, and red tiled or iron roofs. Everything here seemed strange to us, unusual. We are accustomed to space, to trees, to water. Grandmother Maria was especially unhappy. There was absolutely nothing for her to do here. She missed the movement in the yard, the chores around the house. She missed the river where she used to go every day and collect the swollen vine for the furnace. There was no garden or garden. From day to day she sat in a small apartment, as if in a prison. Caring for her younger sister Klava was her only consolation. Now she prayed to God more often than before and asked him to accept her soul. Nina and I had to continue at school. The school was far from us and we walked. We didn’t have food or money, so my mother started selling furniture and other more valuable things. Usually, after school, Nina and I went to the market, where my mother stood and sold our things. There were a lot of products in the market, which we were very surprised, since many people in the city were starving. There were also a lot of things: furniture, clothes and other junk, but also a lot of people. Bobrynets was considered a Jewish town, there were a lot of Jews everywhere, especially in the market. They talked animatedly, bargained, and filled the whole square with some lively variegation, even merriment. It seemed to me that Jewish women were somehow different from Russian and Ukrainian women. They were better dressed, their speech was louder, accompanied by temperamental gestures. As soon as they noticed something interesting in the sale, they immediately surrounded the seller and vied with each other to fill the price. Everyone really liked our beautiful furniture, which we bought in Pankovka, and my mother did not have to wait long for buyers. Everything was immediately bought by Jews. As soon as my mother received money in her hands, she immediately went to the grocery part of the bazaar, where she bought food. And at home, a hungry gang was waiting for her – four children and a grandmother. My father was still on the move looking for work.

      One day a fat, beautiful Jewish woman approached my mother at the market. She asked for Mom’s address and said she wanted to come and see everything Mom had for sale. Mom, of course, gave her the address, and the next day she arrived in a small truck. She carefully examined everything: the rocking chair that her father had given her mother in Pankovka, two wicker couches, a table, a chest of drawers, a mirror. Then she bought everything, loaded it onto a truck – the guy she came with helped her, and we never saw her again. We had two more beds and a small table at our disposal. The essential for us.

      But the money we received for our furniture was soon spent on food. And again there was nothing to eat. Now my mother carried her beautiful dresses to the market. Everything went to food. So we lived in Bobrynets summer and autumn. Winter was coming, cold and hungry. Father still didn’t get a job. Already we had lost almost everything we had, and now every day we were hungry. Only in the afternoon, when my mother managed to sell some of the clothes, did she bring home bread and butter. In the mornings, Nina and I went to school hungry.

      One day after school I was picking up my books from under the desk and suddenly I felt something hard. I took out the bundle – it turned out that there was a dried slice of bread inside. I immediately grabbed it with both hands and ran into the corridor where Nina was waiting for me. Together we ate hard bread and went home. Since then, after school, I always tried to be the last to leave the class to check all the desks for anything edible left. In the school yard, during a break, I also looked for bread. Sometimes I was able to find a dried piece. But I noticed that, besides me, other children were looking for the same thing.

      Our situation improved a little for the time being when my Jewish classmate Dina came to us and asked me to go with her to them. At home, her mother told me to help her with her homework. For this I will receive lunch. I, of course, agreed. Dina was beautiful and well dressed. She had a lot of friends with whom she always played in the yard after school. I came to them every day and did her tasks. Dina did not even think to be present at this. She preferred the company of her friends. Her mother, a sweet and pleasant lady, always treated me to dinner. When she found out that I had a brother and two sisters, she wrapped something for me at home – boiled lard, bread or something else. And at school, Dina acted like she didn’t know me. At recess she played with the others and obviously avoided me. At first I was offended, but then everything became indifferent to me. I didn’t like this school. I didn’t have any friends here. In my free time, I used to stand alone in the corner and watch the other kids have fun.

      But one day the teacher noticed that Dina didn’t do her homework by herself. Since then, my little food source has also ceased.

      Spring was already coming to an end when my father sent us money so that we could go to him in Zaporozhye, where he found a job. We sold the last pieces of furniture – two beds and a table. We packed what was left and set off.

      Our grandparents, Marfa Savelievna and Ilya Petrovich, also lived in Zaporozhye. At father’s request, they found us a small hut with two rooms, which father bought for us. The place where these huts were located was called Pervomaisky village. Why this village was so called, it was completely incomprehensible. This name would be better suited to some new residential area built in the spirit of socialism and communism. Instead, on a large earthen mountain three kilometers from the center of the new part of the city, rose a chaotic mass of mud huts and dugouts – incredible slums, more likely to resemble some kind of Chinese village than the Soviet village of our country. But the most interesting thing was that behind this purely communist name lurked suspicious, in the communist sense, I would even say “hostile”, elements of the Soviet government, whose place was rather in Siberia: there were also dispossessed kulaks, from whom the authorities took everything away, like my grandparents, those who were persecuted by the government, former factory owners, landlords, once rich people and less rich, were hiding here – in general, people of all classes. Zaporozhye, as a growing industrial city, provided an ideal opportunity for many to escape from the hardships of fate. This mass of “hostile elements” accumulated on the clay mountain consisted of people of various nationalities: here one could meet Greeks, Tatars, Jews, Ukrainians, Russians from the far North. This motley gathering of people most often caught the eye in the center of the village, at the fountain, from where everyone carried water (there was no sewerage in the dugouts). Of course, not without quarrels at the fountain. Women quarreled more often. The most cocky were the Tatars. Nobody loved them. Tall, dark and thin, like old horses, with long hair and a dirty look, they quarreled with particular fury. They dragged each other by the hair, tearing each other’s blouses, spitting, while their eyes burned like coals. All this ended only when several strong men dispersed them to the sides. These quarrels of women were a kind of entertainment in the village. There were always a lot of people crowding around the fountain – children and adults. Something always happened there, they brought news about various events from there, they talked about them at home – in general, life in the village was never boring.

      But there were also more pleasant aspects of life. In our village lived one of the most beautiful girls – a slender, dark-haired Jewess Sarah. All the men secretly wanted to meet her, but Sarah paid no attention to anyone. When she passed through the village, whispers could be heard everywhere:

      – Sarah, Sarah is coming!

      And everyone rushed either to the yard or to the window to see her. But she was proud and impregnable. Her father, an old Jewish man, a salesman in the village grocery store, strictly guarded her from any unpleasant accidents.

      Trees and flowers were rare in the village. But Ilya Petrovich managed to plant a few sunflowers and a couple of potato bushes in his tiny courtyard. He fenced his hut with a high fence of boards, so that it looked like a small boat. And, like on a ship, a large chimney of the summer kitchen smoked from under the shed on the roof. Almost the entire courtyard was under a canopy, like the deck of a steamer. Every centimeter was used here. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. Under the canopy there was a wooden table and benches, where friends of grandparents often sat and drank tea in summer. Despite the poverty and primitiveness, it was very pleasant here. Compared to this small world, where peace and quiet were felt, our mud hut was bare and ugly. Ilya Petrovich made us a table and two benches, which we put in the room. A few fur rugs and blankets made up our lodging for the night. Only grandmother Maria, as the oldest in the family, slept on a narrow bed in the kitchen. My father lived in the old part of the city, far from us and came only at the end of the week for a couple of days. In addition, he was often away for work. It also turned out that his job was not permanent, but only temporary, and the money he earned was not enough for all of us to eat. There was still hunger, food was expensive, and here we too often went to bed hungry. But again, grandmother Maria suffered the most. She often gave her portion of food to us children. Sometimes we went to Grandma Martha and brought back the remnants of their dinner and, in general, everything that they could tear off from themselves.

      Across the river from us, on the right bank of the Dnieper, lived Uncle Kostya, our distant relative. He was married to the sister of his mother’s brother’s wife, Uncle Mitya, who lived in Kyiv. Uncle Kostya was the director of a hospital in Zaporizhia and, of course, belonged to a privileged class. He had his own dacha outside the city and a large garden. He also had a car with a driver. He lived at the dacha with his parents, dear old men, with his wife Evgenia and the son of my age, Kolya. His wife was quiet. Sometimes Grandma Marfa took me with her to visit them. Then I played with his son.

      – Why is Aunt Evgenia like this? I asked my mother after my first visit to them.

      “Poor thing, she couldn’t bear the revolutionary years,” my mother answered. She used to be very rich. When everything was taken away from her, she became a little crazy.

      It seemed incomprehensible to me then that one could lose one’s mind because of wealth. But Aunt Evgenia was “quiet” as they called her, and therefore she was at home, and not in an official hospital.

      Grandmother Maria became even sadder in Zaporozhye. She kept complaining that “no one needed her” and prayed forever to God to take her in. She, of course, lacked a household here too: animals that she could take care of, a garden, a river where she liked to go to collect firewood. True, she sometimes went to the Dnieper, but always returned without firewood. She couldn’t go for a walk without doing anything. Her only consolation was her younger sister Klava, whom she always nursed. We all went to school and no longer stood with her in front of the icons and prayed to God all together, as before. And she now felt superfluous. One day, after her prayer, I noticed tears rolling down my grandmother’s cheeks.

      – Grandma, why are you crying? I asked.

      “I want God to accept me,” she answered. But he doesn’t want to and doesn’t want to. I probably made a mistake. – She believed that only sinful people live long, and God takes the righteous early. When I write these lines now, I involuntarily recall the Stalinist times, when people did not live, but suffered. And it seems to me that my grandmother’s philosophy at that time was correct.

      “If I could only see Fedya just once more,” she often said, “then I could die.

      And she asked her mother to write to Uncle Fedya to come. And when one day a letter came from him, and he wrote that he would not be able to come, I saw how my grandmother’s face stretched out and became sad. And her large gray eyes filled with tears, which silently rolled down her cheeks. On one cheek, near her nose, there was a tiny hole the size of a needle. One day I asked her why she had a hole. She replied:

      – This is from God.

      In her opinion, everything was from God.

      — Believe, children, in God. He will ask you for an answer for everything,” she often said.

      “Why doesn’t God punish others,” Ivan asked again.

      – Everything is just up to the time. The time will come, and God will punish him,” she answered.

      And again she told us the story of an unbeliever who was hit by a brick as he passed the church. At the same time, her serious eyes looked thoughtfully at us, and we also thought about her strange stories. These stories have always made a strong impression on us, despite the fact that we were told other things about God in school. Grandmother instilled in us a sense of respect and fear of the all-powerful and invisible God. But she also taught us to be honest and fair in life.

      So, Zaporizhia did not improve our situation very much. Maybe the best thing was that we lived not far from the grandmother of Martha and Ilya Petrovich. Besides, my malaria has almost completely stopped here. But in the very first year, the younger sister Klava and grandmother Maria fell ill with malaria. Klava was ill for several months and recovered. But Grandmother grew weaker and weaker, and soon stopped getting out of bed altogether. She silently prayed to God, and over time she completely calmed down. Mom poured milk into her mouth with a teaspoon. And one evening she called us to her and said:

      – Go to your grandmother in the kitchen and ask her for forgiveness for your disobedience. She will probably die tonight.

      We all fell silent. “Die!” – how often we have heard this word, which has always been associated with crying and sadness. But death itself for us was something mysterious, distant and mysterious. None of our loved ones died, and none of us children saw a dead person up close. Although Grandmother often talked about death, it sounded so distant, as if it didn’t concern any of us. And now we were afraid, because this death came to our house. We silently stood around my mother, and no one dared to go to my grandmother first.

      “Nina,” says mom, “go first, grandma loved you the most.

      Tilting her head, Nina entered her grandmother’s kitchen. The door was ajar, and we heard Nina say:

      – Forgive me, my dear, dear grandmother, for everything that I have done to you. May God accept you in peace.

      Ivan came in after Nina. He whispered something we couldn’t hear. Then I went to my grandmother’s bed. From incredible fear and embarrassment, I did not know what to say. It seems to me that I whispered that my grandmother would forgive me, but I was absolutely sure that my grandmother would not forgive me – I was very impudent and naughty. Grandma didn’t look at me anymore. Her gaze was already turned to the distance, probably to heaven.

      Grandmother died on the first day of Easter.

      “A happy woman,” the neighbors said.

      There was a popular belief that the one who dies on Easter goes straight to heaven. If anyone deserves heaven, it is my grandmother Maria. Of course she wanted to die too. But I believe that she died because there was a famine and she became weak. In addition, torn from her native rural environment, she felt superfluous in this cramped city life, no longer needed, useless. But she could live for a long time. Apart from malaria, she had never been ill with anything. She was always in motion, her body was flexible and slender, like a girl’s, her face was beautiful, although wrinkled.

      She was buried on the third day of Easter. The last journey was also sad: only a few people, mostly neighbors, accompanied her on the way to the cemetery. But the cemetery was far away on the edge of the city, and only her father followed her coffin to the end. Many years later, already an adult girl, I visited Zaporozhye again and wanted to visit her grave. But there was no one there to tell where she was. Father, the only one who knew, was far away, in the cold forests of Siberia.

      Composition September 1 My first day at school Grade 1

      It’s September 1st. Morning. Thick fog covers the sleeping forest and the mysterious field with an impenetrable veil. When the sun rises, everything around is seething and sparkling with bright colors. The rays of the sun lit orange aspens and yellow maples, solemn in their festive splendor. How do you not want to get up early in the morning. But today is an important day for me – I’m going to school for the first time!

      The alarm is ringing. I got up at 7 am, brushed my teeth, my mother cooked a delicious breakfast in the kitchen. Then I put on the very first school suit in my life. It was so exciting, but at the same time very interesting. I took a large bouquet in my hands and smiled. Looking in the mirror, I realized how big I have become and how I don’t want to say goodbye to childhood. But, unfortunately, time runs inexorably. And here I am on the threshold of the school.

      The first thing that caught my eye was the sounds. I close my eyes and imagine. I step on the threshold of the school, and a whole stream of sounds falls on me. School bells, the voices of children and teachers, the loud clatter of heels.

      The voices of teachers and students are heard from outside the classrooms. And all this merges into one monotonous noise. But as soon as the teacher leaves the office, a hum begins to appear at first, then everything turns into a loud noise.

      Children run in the corridors, during the breaks various cries and laughter are heard everywhere. As soon as you begin to approach the school, everything becomes clear and understandable. Imagining mute silence, it starts to become a little creepy. The school fills us with all kinds of sounds, and it’s really wonderful.

      I open my eyes and understand that all this awaits me in the future, and now – a solemn line, congratulations will sound from all sides and the first school bell in my life will ring. Yes, I have been waiting for this day, because I really want this day to remain in my memory for the rest of my life. Tomorrow school will start, and now I want to enjoy the wonderful moments of this day and this life!

      Option 2

      Many people have memories, both good and bad. My first memory connected with school is, in fact, the first trip to school.

      It was the first of September. My mother and I handed over the documents, and already on the first of September, in a suit and with flowers, I solemnly walked into this temple of knowledge to gnaw at the granite of science. I remember a lot from that day. Then it was still warm, but not enough to go without a jacket, so I went in it. On the way, I asked my mother to come home, but she did not listen to me, which is probably good, because if I had not come that day, I would not have met all those people who are now my best friends. Arriving at the school, we lined up in fifteen people and listened to the director’s speech.

      There were many different children there, some older, some younger, but they all had one thing in common – they all came here for knowledge. No matter who it was, the seventh graders who have been here for years, or the first graders like me who came here for the first time, we all had the same goal.

      After the line, we went to look at the classes in which we were to unlearn for the next eleven years. First we looked at the class of mathematics and technical sciences, then we went to the literary class, and then to all the others. Most of all I liked the class of natural science and biology. I remember very strongly all those skeletons and exhibits presented in the audience as in a museum. Perhaps my future profession will be related to this science. In any case, I liked our school, because of which I received a huge incentive to study well and as diligently as possible.

      After examining the classes, we were sent to the lessons, after which I met all the guys from my class, who later became my close friends. In any case, the first of September and the first trip to school is one of the best and most pleasant memories of my entire life. That day I met a lot of good people with whom I still communicate well. The first of September is a wonderful moment in the life of any schoolchild, which happens only once in a lifetime, and which must be remembered and appreciated. This was my first of September, very pleasant and memorable.

      Composition for grade 1

      Pedagogical essay “First time in a school class”

      Essay “First time in a school class”

      A new school year begins. Bright, cozy math room. The walls were lined with portraits depicting great mathematicians, stands with well-known formulas and algorithms. You involuntarily catch yourself thinking about how classes will be held this academic year, and you want to reflect on the thoughts of children’s minds: “Is everything useful to me in life, what does the teacher tell me about? Why am I studying mathematics? Why do I need these formulas and endless solutions, solutions, searches, analyzes?

      We rarely think about the fact that the subjects taught at school should bring joy to the life of a student. The student does not always understand that each subject is based on the experience of people of past years. The lesson is based on the results of the discoveries of those minds who, through observation and research, passed on knowledge to a new generation, younger and healthier. After all, the past helps in creating the present and the future.

      Mathematics is the science of our ancestors, subject to precision and analysis. Knowing mathematics means being able to think and reason logically. Our country needs bright minds, serious and responsible people. As a result, I often think, when imagining my students, “How can I develop in them a sense of respect for my subject? What will help my young brother overcome his reluctance to come to my class? How to diversify his imagination and desire to work, absorbing a mathematical course?

      Reflecting on these questions, I am convinced that I should create a zone from the mathematics lesson where not only I should be comfortable, but, above all, my students.

      Based on the experience of previous years, I understand that the guys need to be more often provided with an independent search and find one way or another to solve the problem. We teachers must teach them to learn, to set a goal, to teach them to reflect and sum up their activities. I think that this will lead them to an answer, why do they need a math lesson and a school in general. The process of studying my subject should not only be active, it should be meaningful. Why not look at some formulas through the eyes of its creator, a scientist? How did he feel while working on a mathematical discovery? How did he live, what did he suffer, what trials did he endure, achieving this or that result?

      To attract the student to reflection is the task of the teacher-educator. Happiness is to be understood and appreciated in time, to empathize with the child the bitterness of defeat and the joy of a small victory, to share with him the insult and triumph of the winner. To believe in a student, even the weakest and most negligent, is the task of every teacher-mathematician.

      My office is a territory of light and friendship. I’ll come closer to them in the lesson, even sit down between them, let them know: I’m always here, I appreciate them, respect them, they are dear to me and pleasant.

      I don’t want to turn their work into a test, I don’t want to force them to cramming mindlessly – mechanically. Let them search during the lesson, argue with me, discuss, and finally arrange a battle.

      They are not afraid of tests, as long as they get used to looking for and applying a variety of solutions. Let them draw and draw, fantasize and compose fairy tales about numbers, formulas and logarithms. To turn exact and dry mathematics into a real world of art, where they are the main characters, and I am almost a minor character. To create a lesson… Yes, to create, to change a lesson: to make it more humane, brighter, more interesting and… happier. To try to change the course for a happy and successful future for our guys.

      Studying the GEF, I understand that project activities are great, useful and relevant. The project can make my work easier, since some of the material will be obtained by the students on their own and will give them a path to self-improvement.

      Interest is born at the lesson where the teacher will infect with emotions, will be able to present material provided with variety and problem-search task.

      As a result, I can say one thing – the beginning of the school year is the beginning of a new path. This is my office, where my students come to learn and meaningfully gain knowledge. I will help them to become an individual, a necessary and useful citizen of our country. I hope my students come to our office and ask themselves different questions. Those questions that will not concern their thoughts about why they need this mathematics, but questions that they will ask themselves on the topic of the lesson. About what new they will learn in mathematics today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.

      I am proud of them and I believe that they will successfully implement the acquired knowledge in the field of mathematics in the future. And then I can quietly and modestly say to myself: “My work as a teacher will not be lost, a flame will flare up from a spark!”

      Report “The first days of the child in school”

      CONTINUITY.

      THE FIRST DAYS OF THE CHILD IN SCHOOL.

      All six-year-old children come to school with a great desire to learn: they are sure that they will be able to do everything, they will succeed, and it is very important to keep this desire for knowledge to the end.

      Today, a modern school requires understanding of the new content of education, a new attitude towards the student as a subject of education, and students come to us from different social strata, with different levels of preparation for school – therefore, today the problem is how in modern conditions it is possible to build a lesson in such a way that in order to create positive learning motivation in children.

      Employees of preschool institutions in our country are entrusted with the most valuable thing – children, the future generation of society. It does not take much imagination to imagine the complexity of the task facing educators. Employees of preschool institutions are called upon to educate the future generation physically strong and comprehensively prepared for mastering the basics of science.

      CONTINUITY

      (internal communication) must exist between preschool institutions and school, which is one of the main conditions that ensure the continuity and effectiveness of educational influences.

      Your preschooler comes to us – to SCHOOL OF WISDOM

      . Yes, it is on the wisdom of the educator and teacher that the student, and therefore our society, depends.

      Our team is working on a program to build the educational system of the school. The school is moving into an innovative mode of its life. We think, we try, maybe sometimes we make mistakes, but we always move forward.

      One of the most important outcomes of mental development during preschool childhood is the child’s psychological readiness for schooling. Everyone is an individual, and this is a social value. To develop, to preserve the personal characteristics of everyone means to give the future interesting, useful and extraordinary people.

      Today you have the opportunity to meet the teachers. Teachers who will recruit grade 1 will meet with preschoolers, kindergarten workers and future parents more than once.

      The goals and objectives of education in kindergarten and school are the same, and common goals require the unity of educational influences.

      Waiting for the start of school is both joy and great anxiety. The closer that day, the greater the emotional tension. The first grader is a small child. He still cannot do much when compared with his elders. But he can already do a lot, and it is very important to know what he can do and what are the possibilities of his psyche, his personality.

      Entering school is a turning point in a child’s life. The place of the child in the system of social relations is changing. This is a transition to a new way of life and conditions of activity, new relationships with adults and peers, the place factor is changing, that is, the social conditions that determine the development and life of the child.

      The new situation in society is that the child does not just move from kindergarten to school, but that his education is a compulsory, socially significant activity.

      For the results of his learning, the child is responsible to the teacher, the school, his family. He must study. Now he is subject to a system of strict rules that are the same for all schoolchildren.

      The child’s initial entry into the new conditions of school life is psychologically prepared. Children are happy to go to school, expecting a new life here and realizing that their situation is changing – they have become older, they are no longer preschoolers, but schoolchildren. The student’s position is subjectively important for the child in that it0027 changes his self-esteem – he is a schoolboy.

      He tries to understand the rules of conduct as soon as possible. A lot now depends on the teacher.

      A special type of relationship develops between a student and a teacher. The teacher is not just an adult who arouses or dislikes a child. He is an intermediary of knowledge, whose functions include the transfer of his knowledge. Much in a child’s life depends on what kind of first teacher this is. The primary school teacher has every chance to become a teacher in the highest sense of the word – a mentor with high authority for the child in the present, to remain in his grateful memory and determine his future. Precisely the personality of the first teacher can become a role model, a model for the child’s actions

      .

      When preparing children for school, all of us, first of all, need to prepare parents

      . It is necessary to set them up, which first-graders cannot have solid fives. He will have to explain something at home, and several times, help him do his homework and not be angry for failures, but on the contrary, support the child, instill confidence in himself, in his abilities.

      It is a great help if a child already knows how to read, count up to 10. Then it will be easier and more pleasant for him to learn, because from the very beginning he will succeed. You have to talk a lot with a child so that he comes to school with a well-developed speech, let him better earn the reputation of being “spoiled, but smart” than …

      attention, memory, thinking, imagination. After analyzing the preparation of children for school, today we can give REGIONALS OF THE TISTOMS

      For educators and parents:

      Firstly: -TREE TREE THE CHILD CHILD

      • Ask him questions
      • To be able to listen to children
      • Together discussed
      • COMPLE CONTION
      • To Review each other to retold the content of each other
      • fantasize
      • share impressions.

      9 plays an important role in the process of primary education0027 child development level

      . Oddly enough, but gifted children at school have a lot of sometimes the most unexpected problems. And what about that kid who is simply afraid to break away from his mother and go to class with everyone? Together we all need to think more often about what is good in our child’s character
      .
      We must praise him for being kind, understanding, reasonable, good at counting, inventing, able to make people laugh, listen, and have organizational skills.

      A child of primary school age MUST have a desire to learn, he must believe in himself. And if it is absent, then this is just NOT normal.

      It is at school that many things will happen that may go unnoticed by the teacher, but will determine the psychological state of the child. Former leaders from preschool childhood can take a low status position in the class, former unacceptable quiet and incompetent can become loved and respected. In the early days, all children are overwhelmed with the joy of starting a new life. They believe they want to learn. They want recognition as students. They crave the evaluation of their knowledge. But… stop. Here we slow down the run of the child’s expectations. The task of the first grade teacher is to to teach every child to learn – to teach yourself.

      And this must be done
      without a mark
      , because a mark for a child is a sign that will determine his place among his peers: it will raise his prestige or drop him into the number of the worst. A six-year-old student does not yet have the mental strength that would help him withstand all the mental stress associated with learning, assessing his success and unambiguously clear mark.

      The main thing is preparing children for school, not teaching them how to read, write, and count.

      FUNCTIONAL CRITERIA FOR THE READINESS OF A SIX-YEAR-OLD CHILD FOR LEARNING

      The body of a six-year-old child develops intensively.

      (cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, etc.) depend on the conditions of this development. Therefore, our child needs a sparing regimen, an individual approach, regular supervision of medical personnel. Now the child at school carries a large physical load. He must sit still in a certain posture. Such a load is contrary to physical development – during this period the child grows intensively, his spine is very sensitive. Hygienists have developed a special term school maturity

      as the readiness of the child’s body for systematic learning.

      A feature of all children is rather rapid fatigue in the conditions of the same activity. If the teacher does not feel well enough for their children and does not give them the opportunity to discharge themselves, then the children themselves unconsciously look for a way to switch their attention from task to entertainment.

      The result of a child’s development in preschool childhood is the prerequisites that the child can adapt to school conditions and begin systematic learning. These prerequisites include, first of all, desire

      to become a schoolboy, study. For preschoolers, the external attributes of school life have a great attraction: sitting at desks, calling, changing, grades, owning a portfolio, a pencil case . .. Interest in such external moments is less important than the desire to learn, but it also has a positive value.

      An important aspect of psychological readiness for school is a sufficient level of volitional development

      children. This level is different for different children.

      A child’s mental readiness for school includes several interrelated aspects. A child entering grade 1 needs a certain amount of knowledge about the world around him – about objects and their properties, about phenomena of animate and inanimate nature, about people, their work and other aspects of social life, about “what is good and what is bad ”, i.e. on moral standards of conduct. But what is important is not so much the volume of this knowledge as their quality – the degree of correctness, clarity of ideas. Such representations are the most important acquisition that will help the child to move to the assimilation of scientific knowledge at school. It is quite enough if, as a result of preschool education, the child gets acquainted with those areas that serve as the subject of study of various sciences, begins to single them out, to distinguish living from non-living, natural from man-made, harmful from useful.

      Mastering some special knowledge and skills takes a special place in psychological readiness for school. Primary school is designed for children who have not received any special training, and begins to teach them literacy and mathematics from the very beginning. At the same time, a significant part of children entering grade 1 can read, and almost all children are able to count to one degree or another. Mastering literacy and elements of mathematics can affect the success of schooling. Of positive importance is the education in children of general ideas about the sound side of speech, about the quantitative relationships of things. Will help the child to study at school and assimilation of the concept of number.

      As for the skills of reading, counting, solving problems, their usefulness depends on what basis they are built on, how well they are formed. Thus, the skill of reading increases the level of readiness of the child for school only if it is built on the basis of the development of phonemic hearing and awareness of the sound composition of the word, and the reading itself is continuous or syllabic. Letter-by-letter reading, often found in preschoolers, makes the teacher’s work difficult, because. the child will have to be retrained. (sound n n, letter en, not ne)

      The same is true of counting – it will be useful if it is based on an understanding of mathematical relations, the meaning of a number, and useless or even harmful if learned mechanically. (the number 3 corresponds to the number 3 – subjectively) (“once”, not “once”)

      It is not knowledge and skills in themselves that are decisive in readiness to master the school curriculum, but the level of development of cognitive processes and cognitive activity

      children (through discussion, retelling, answering questions …). Cognitive interests develop gradually, over a long period of time and cannot arise immediately when entering school. The greatest difficulties in elementary school are experienced not by those children who have insufficient knowledge and skills by the end of the preschool period, but by those who lack the desire and habit to think, solve problems that are not directly related to any game or life situation that interests the child.

      A child entering school must be able to systematically examine objects, phenomena, highlight their various properties. Good orientation of the child in space and time is important. (previous, left, right, top, bottom …) The idea of ​​​​time and a sense of time, the ability to determine how much it has passed is an important condition for the student’s organized work in the classroom, completing tasks on time.

      Another aspect of mental development that determines the child’s readiness for schooling is the development of his speech – mastering the ability to coherently, consistently, understandably for others to describe an object, picture, event, convey the course of his thought, explain this or that phenomenon, rule.

      Conditions have been created in pre-school institutions for the comprehensive upbringing of children – there are manuals, equipment, children’s literature, toys. Children’s groups are organized, children are sociable, neat. Many children are fluent in speech in conversations with peers and adults.

      At the same time, it should be noted that

      the grammatical aspects of speech are still being formed, the children’s teaching of storytelling is weak, and the vocabulary is not enriched enough. In the speech practice of both preschoolers and first-graders, there is little independence of thinking and creative activity. Most often, children simply imitate what they read or retell. They are not involved in controlling the story of a friend. They are not offered questions for inferences, comparisons.

      One of the important issues in deciding the succession in the work of kindergartens and schools should be, first of all, the joint work of teachers and educators in studying the child’s personality.

      Before starting to study children, our teachers get acquainted with the documentation, with the data of medical records, in order to find out the child’s ability to navigate in the surrounding reality, some features of his cognitive activity, such aspects as purposefulness, stability, consciousness, productivity, speech quality and level educational knowledge and skills. During the first weeks of the school year, teachers find out that the child knows little about his family, its composition. He cannot always give his name, surname, full names of his parents, their place of work, profession.

      Many children have motor awkwardness, insufficient formation of movements, especially small muscles of the hand.

      Psychological tension

      disappears in 2 months. If the teacher calmly and systematically implements regime moments, the child learns the mandatory rules of the routine and his tension falls. Fulfillment of school rules, getting used to the implementation of the daily regimen leads to the removal of psychological tension and stabilizes the physical well-being of the child.

      Of course, there are physically and psychologically weakened children. They get tired quickly. Start whims, tearfulness. Such children often get sick, do not have time to study. The malaise is manifested in constant irritability, in crying for the most insignificant reason. These children require special attention of the teacher and the involvement of a psychologist.

      There are different schools, but no matter where the parents send their child, none of them predetermines the result of his education. He is affected FIRST OF ALL FAMILY

      and only then the school he attends.

      It’s great when the child is mobile and active. It’s great when he endlessly asks questions and sticks his nose into everything. It’s great when he has his own plans and intentions, his own interests. Children have the right to make mistakes and learn from their mistakes. The child has the right to be loved by us for who he is!

      Essay on the topic: First time – first grade!.

      September 1, I went to the 1st grade. Grandma walked me to school. I was wearing a school uniform and a large briefcase. My grandmother braided large white bows into my pigtails. There were many children near the school, everyone gave flowers to our teacher Tatyana Vladimirovna, I also gave her a large bouquet. Then we went to class. There we sat down at our desks and the roll call began. I sat with the girl Natasha and we became friends with her. There were a lot of guys in the class. Our teacher was kind and a little strict. She was always good at explaining lessons and rules of conduct. I will never forget the first time I went to first grade.

      Essay on the topic: Where does the Motherland begin?.

      Homeland for me begins with my home. My home is my family, my closest people who love me. It is here, next to my family, that I feel warm, comfortable and calm. My homeland begins with a small river in the country, with a currant bush, the leaves of which smell so delicious. Motherland is a field with a huge sky above it, where we flew a kite and admired the rainbow. And the forest, where the smell of strawberries and pine needles is so strong. Spilled like milk, a fog in which you can hide. Probably, this is where the Motherland begins for me.

      Essay on a topic; Winter day.

      It’s winter outside. It’s a wonderful sunny day. The sky is clear. The snow that had been falling all night covered the ground, houses, cars with a white fluffy blanket. Trees stand in heavy white caps, and occasionally snow dust breaks down from the tops.

      Hieroglyphs of bird tracks are clearly written on the snow, as if on a white sheet. Sparrows near the house are fighting over a crust of bread – it is not easy for them to find food under a white blanket.

      Essay on a topic; Gold autumn.

      Autumn has come. From mid-September to about mid-October, the leaves on the trees will turn from green to gold and red. This period is called golden autumn. The grass in the steppe withers and turns yellow, and the trees are painted in a variety of shades from yellow and red. You look at the forest, which is all shimmering with gold and you think: yes, a truly golden autumn! This is a very beautiful time and many poets dedicate their poems to it, and artists especially love to paint pictures on the theme of autumn.

      I especially like the two weeks in September that are called Indian Summer. At this time, the day is still warm in summer, and the leaf fall is already slowly covering the ground with gold. Fallen leaves are spinning in the wind, rustling underfoot, and this makes you a little sad. It’s sad that the summer is over and the holidays are over.

      The more leaves there are on the ground, the fewer leaves there are on the trees, until one day there are none left. The trees are gradually falling asleep, preparing to meet the winter, but there will still be a whole November before it. This is also autumn, but not at all golden – damp, cold and dark. And so on until December comes and the earth is covered with a snow blanket.

      Essay on a topic; Autumn has come.

      Autumn is a season that I don’t like at all. With the advent of autumn, I always feel sad because the summer is over, the foliage is flying around, the grass is turning yellow, and the flowers are withering and crumbling. Everyone says that autumn is the brightest time of the year. Because all the trees are dressed up in colorful outfits: maples – in red, birches – in yellow, and oaks – in shades of brown. I also like that the forest becomes smart and I like to walk in the autumn forest. But I know it won’t last long.

      A couple of weeks, the leaves will fall off and the trees will remain bare and black. Long rains will begin, you can’t go outside, because it will become damp and dirty there. The day is getting shorter and shorter, and even then – the sun is constantly covered with heavy and gloomy clouds. The cold wind penetrates to the bone, so you won’t walk for a long time even on days when there is no rain. You need to wear a lot of warm clothes, not like in the summer when you can run in shorts and a T-shirt.

      When autumn comes, I always dream of snow falling and winter coming. Because after winter, spring always comes, and then summer, a time that I really love!

      Video lesson

      The most effective format of educational materials today is video, so learning a new topic begins with watching a video lesson. Our library contains more than 5,000 video lessons and notes prepared by us.

      Electronic textbook

      Students can use both classical textbooks recommended by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and electronic textbooks published by the Prosveshcheniye publishing house.

      Simulators and tests

      The acquired knowledge is consolidated on numerous interactive simulators. Tests with instant feedback help to verify the level of assimilation of the topic and gain self-confidence.

      Consultations

      For each subject, teachers conduct video consultations, where students can ask all their questions on the topic covered.

      Homework

      After each completed topic and consultation, students are given a task, for which an assessment is made. Checking homework and grading is carried out within 1 day* (10:00-18:00 Moscow time on weekdays).
      * At the end of the term, the timing of checking homework may increase.

      Examination

      In the Home School, examinations, tests and other examinations are carried out remotely in the form of homework. The deadline depends on the type of work and can range from two hours to seven days. We inform you in advance about the dates and terms of the verification work.

      Video debriefing

      We as a family are very happy that we found your school. This year we trained our son. It’s very good that you don’t have to travel far, spend money on transport, get up early, buy a school uniform. There is no tension between students and teachers. The child is always supervised. Ratings have gone up significantly. Next year we want to send our daughter to the 5th grade. Many thanks to the organizers.

      Thank you so much for such a wonderful school as Homeschool! You can study in it remotely, the teachers explain everything very intelligibly, and if for some reason you missed a lesson, you can always review it in the recording. I do music, so this form of education is just a real paradise for me: there is time for rest and for various hobbies. I would like to separately thank our biologist Roman Borisovich, he was just an excellent teacher, he loved his subject so much and explained everything in such detail! Thank you!

      Separately, we want to thank you for the excellent system of classes provided by your school – it brings us great joy and does not deprive the child of the opportunity to travel with their parents. Teachers answer all questions on time and accurately, lectures contain interesting and necessary material, a very convenient system for working with homework. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy learning, we have always missed it!

      For me, the advantages of studying at Homeschool are obvious. The child does not need to get up early and come home late from school. No need to sort things out with teachers, director and students. You don’t have to go to parent meetings. You can eat and go to the toilet at any time. No need to wear a school uniform and a heavy portfolio with textbooks. You can watch the same lesson multiple times. The teachers are very polite and correct. No need to donate money for school repairs, holidays, gifts and school events. Homework can be completed in one subject per day, and not six, as in school. You do not need to write independent and test papers every day in all subjects. My daughter has become calmer and more successful in her studies. In a year I will definitely enroll my second daughter in the Home School. Sincere thanks to you for the best school.

      Thanks to the organizers of the school Internet Lesson! I am professionally engaged in music, therefore, due to the workload – participation in outdoor concerts and competitions – I do not have the opportunity to attend all the lessons of a regular school, and a “home” Internet school is always at hand. You can view missed classes and submit completed homework from anywhere in the world. Having studied at a home school for one year, I can say that I have only positive impressions, interesting lessons and good teachers!

    Discipline

    Positive Discipline

    At Pre-K Kids Learning Center, we recognize that positive discipline teaches and encourages the healthy development of a child’s self-esteem. Our caregivers praise and call attention to appropriate behavior and act as good role models to influence and reinforce a child positively. Limits are set that are developmentally appropriate and consistently enforced. The method of discipline used by Pre-K Kids staff for our children is “redirection.” For example, time out or refraining from a special activity may be used for a short period while the caregiver is encouraging the child to make a positive decision.

    Daily Preschool Schedule

    8:30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. — Arrival & Free Play
    Allowing the children to play throughout the room allows us to have fun, attention-diverting activities for easier separation from parents.

    8:50 a.m. or 12:50 p.m. — Group Time
    This time is spent sitting on the floor in a large group. We are doing the bulk of our direct teaching at this time with stories, calendar activities, songs, finger plays, and directions for the table activities.

    9:10 a.m. or 1:10 p.m. — Table Activities
    This time allows the children to make choices about what they’d like to do and when. Three activities are set up at the tables: one for fine-motor skills, one art project, and one varying activity. When the children are finished with the table activities, they may return to play in any area of the room that includes large blocks, dramatic play, books, and art areas.

    10:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. — Snack
    Snacks and drinks are provided by parents and are brought on a daily basis. Parents will sign up for the day they will bring snacks. All snacks must be store-bought to meet state health regulations. The children learn social skills and manners during this time, as well as sanitary practices.

    10:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. — Large Motor Skills
    The last hour of preschool varies from day to day. One day each week will be a one-hour gymnastics class*, a 30-minute music class, or other activities, including show and share and recess.

    11:30 a.m. or 3:30 p.m. — Pick-Up Time
    Children gather their belongings and go home for the day. Optional Dance classes are available as an extra activity after morning preschool or before afternoon preschool.

    *While children are in gymnastics class, they are under the physical and legal supervision of Mountain Kids gymnastics regulations and not the preschool license or regulations.
