Neil @Neil43 (4226) 10 Dec

I am asking because I am curious if you know about these three types of assessment: Assessment for Learning, Assessment as Learning, and Assessment of Learning. Let me define the three for you. Assessment for Learning (AFL) is...

Curlann That was such a clear and helpful explanation! So yes, I definitely understood your definitions, and you explained them in a way that feels organized and straightforward. Great job!

Fifteen days until Christmas and ten days until the first day of winter. I love it when winter shows up early. It snowed during the night and early morning. The trees look beautiful in their winter finery with the snow gracing the...

9 December - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (319340) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 9 Dec

Good evening from cold and soon to be snowy Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. We had enough snow last night to bring the plow this morning right after I got up. Now, we're looking at three inches before it ends tomorrow....

Curlann Feeling so thankful this year! After 2 years of long-distance, my ex-fiancé—now husband—finally tied the knot. So glad my mom could be there despite her fear of flying. And now… there’s a tiny new life growing inside me.

I am Evaluating My Life

celticeagle @celticeagle (182966) • Boise, Idaho 9 Dec

I have been going down that black hole I go down this time of year. I do a lot of introspection at this time. I am readying myself for a new year. Only 22 days and then it will be 2026. I used to think I was weird because I...

Curlann Wow, this really hit me. I feel the same way. I used to think something was wrong with me for not having many friends, but now I realize I’m just more at peace on my own. I actually enjoy being by myself and with my family more than being out in the world....

I Could Care Less About Vegas

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (51776) • Mojave, California 6 Dec

I never liked the place myself, my friends love cheap booze and what made me go I guess. Other than that, I never was into it. They are right, its kind of pretty with the lights and interesting things they do to capture your...

The Horse @TheHorse (232876) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Dec

Curlann That’s wonderful! Watching Christopher perform “Joy to the World” must feel like such a special milestone. I’m sure it’ll be a proud and joyful moment for both of you. Hope the rest of the performances are just as fun!

Yesterday afternoon I suddenly got messages from a friend. She was one of my good friends before but we haven't kept in touch for a long time. I remember last time we had a contact and it was in 2019. I have to say that this...

Curlann Yeah, that does sound kinda weird. It’s nice when old friends pop back up, but it can feel off when they start asking super personal questions and don’t share anything about themselves. Friendship really does change over time, and sometimes people don’t...

Curlann We have sun here, but it’s windy and cold, so it doesn’t feel as warm as it looks. Mornings are quiet here too, and I really enjoy that calm time before everything gets busy. I hope everything goes smoothly with George’s doctor’s appointment tomorrow. And yes,...

Curlann My day is a bit simpler. I’ll mostly be catching up on chores and some online stuff, and maybe later I’ll take a little break to relax. Nothing too busy, but enough to keep me moving. Hope you enjoy your rock painting and have a blessed prayer time later!

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Today I had my 3 month check up with my endocrinologist. I figured it wouldn't be too great, but I was surprised. My A1c did go up from 6.5 to 6.7 but that's not too bad. He did talk...
