Spy Camera – Catching Your Cheating Spouse
New day new mission, your goal is to catch a deceitful spouse and helping you to achieve this and get all the evidence you need is small but ingenious looking spy tools like spy voice recorders and cameras. Spy voice recorders are the first choice of any private detective or investigator, enabling him to record discussions covertly. Listening tools can be used to listen to voices over distances. Connect them to a recording device like a DVR and you can have the evidence on the spot! Mostly in view of the fact that several digital phone recording systems can catch both ends of a discussion, in addition to ambient room noise providing a great deal necessary framework. Be certain to confirm your local laws on recording gadgets to keep yourself out of legal trouble.
Small discreet spy cameras and recording devices and especially pinhole cameras can be positioned across the home, in rooms, passageways and so on to make an effort to expose riotous behavior of your erring spouse. These small cameras are difficult to notice, however are dependable when it comes to capture hours of recording video footage with excellent quality. Low light or night vision cameras or PIR motion detecting cameras can as well assist notice slippery spouses, once positioned in tactical positions.
Other excellent options include nanny cams, wireless spy cameras, IP spy cameras and hidden spy cameras. The private detective you hire may recommend adding a spanking new "picture frame camera" to your main bedroom; a picture frame with a built in covert spy camera that can help expose and record evidence while you are away at your job. Body worn cameras carried on by private detectives such as spy pen cameras, spy sunglasses cameras, necktie cameras, or spy watch cameras can record evidence as the detective is strolling around mostly because the majority of recent mini cameras have an adequate amount of memory space for storing video footage.

Memorable Moment # 11: Name Changes
My parents christened me with a first, middle and last name when I was born. When I got married, I took on my husband's last name. In spite of these facts, my student's want to bestow new names on me each year. In the past few years, I have been all of these:
"McFly"
"Ms. Yogurt"
"Mrs. Yo-yo"
"Yo"
And let's not forget, my personal favorite:
"Ms. Oder"
I really do shower. The last one was a result of a child's speech impairment, not my personal hygiene habits.

Reading Block
Some of you know I've recently switched teaching pre-schoolers with disabilities to teaching third grade students with disabilities.
In Florida, third grade is a "high stakes grade level." Children who do not pass the reading section of our achievement test face a mandatory retention.
My assistants and I are working diligently to help our students develop and improve their reading skills. We have a few systems and procedures that we have in place to help our students maximize reading opportunities throughout the day.
In this post I'll list our systems and procedures, and then in future posts, I'll explain in more detail how we specifically address each item.
1) Guided Reading Groups led by the teacher using district adopted curriculum materials (for my district this is Harcourt StoryTown)
2) Scripted Phonics lesson led by a classroom assistant using SRA Reading Mastery materials
3) "Book Buckets" that include individual leveled readers from ReadingA-Z and a reading log.
4) Sight word practice. We store this in our book buckets and simply write targeted a sight word on an index card, hole punch it and collect them on a binder ring.
5) Shared poetry using poems from curriculum materials and other supplements.
6) Shared reading focusing on robust vocabulary and focus skills such character, setting, recalling details, etc.
7) Accelerated Reader using individualized goals and reading levels.
8) Read aloud chapter books.
9) Read aloud grade level short stories led by a classroom assistant.
10) Reading "choice time" activities (popular songs with lyrics..karaoke style, Boggle, Boggle Jr, Spell It Puzzles, Bananagrams, Scrabble, Scrabble Jr, etc).
We've just started our third week of school and I feel as if we are really starting to move with our reading groups and instruction. It took us a bit of time to finish assessments, formulate groups, and teach our students procedures for each of the areas we've attacked.
Hopefully, by the end of the year, we'll be able to report some good growth in our students' reading skills. I say "we" and "our" with intent because it require a team effort between the students, their families, my assistants and me!
