Math learning songs9/24/2023 The Alphabet Thief, written by Bill Richardson, illustrated by Roxanna Bikadoroff, School-Age: Similar to counting books, alphabet books often follow a standard format. The colorful photographs will encourage children to identify fractals in the world around them. Campbell, School-Age: Children (and adults!) will learn about the mathematical concept of fractals, nature’s repeating patterns which are universal and teach us about how things grow. Mysterious Patterns: Finding Fractals in Nature, written by Sarah C. Marta! Big & Small, written by Jen Arena, illustrated by Angela Dominguez, Preschool - Kindergarten Prep: While enjoying a boldly illustrated book about Marta, a very clever little girl, children can explore some basic words in Spanish and English while having fun with the concept of opposites. From sizes of clothing and shoes, to playing games, to knowing the temperature, numbers are helpful! I Know Numbers!, written and illustrated by Taro Gomi, Preschool: Readers learn all the different ways that numbers help us each and every day. This book is a good read with its rhyming text, bilingual vocabulary and rich illustrations. Common objects become recognizable shapes such as huevos or eggs for ovals and quesadilllas or crunchy chips for triangles. Round Is a Tortilla: A Book of Shapes, written by Roseanne Thong, illustrated by John Parra, Preschool: Two Latino children engage in an adventure of exploring and identifying shapes in everyday places and things. The story is a fun biography for school-age children depicting the history of a musical genre, while teaching the important lessons of determination and living your dreams.įish Eyes, written and illustrated by Lois Ehlert, Infant & Toddler: This book combines the best of vibrant illustrations and musical rhymes with the fun of a counting book! It’s as much a joy to read as it is to hear. The illustrations throughout the book complement the soulful text through the use of mixed-media, causing the energy of the music to come to life. Through the use of rhythmic language, the author tells Muddy’s story pulling the reader in on each page. According to her, “Muddy was never good at doing what he was told” and his determination and love for music led to him establishing the musical genre known as the “Chicago Blues”. Muddy: The Story of Blues Legend Muddy Waters, written by Michael Mahin, illustrated by Evan Turk, School-Age: Muddy is the story of guitarist Muddy Waters, who embraced the blues from an early age, despite his grandmother’s disapproval. “Say a little OH! Say a HUGE OH!” Readers will experiment with emotions, sound, color, math skills and rhythm as they follow the dots from page to page. Say Zoop!, written and illustrated by Hervé Tullet, Preschool: This interactive book encourages readers to create sounds and try new words in different voice levels. The hand drawn birds are recognizable backyard favorites that will capture a child’s interest throughout the pages. The wild bird antics will draw children back to this book over and over again inspiring them to learn numbers and counting. Wild! Numbers, written & illustrated by Courtney Dicmas, Infant/Toddler: This funny and colorfully engaging picture book is the perfect introduction for the youngest listeners to learn basic number concepts. All three Books of Excellence remind us that children’s literature is a perfect vehicle for math and musical learning. With almost musical language, this book tells the life story of Muddy Waters, blues legend, who taught himself to play the guitar, and succeeded against overwhelming odds. The school-age selection, Muddy, approaches math and music in a different way. Say Zoop!, the preschool selection, is an interactive book which introduces young listeners to concepts like big, bigger, small, smaller, fast, slow, patterns, and more. Wild! Numbers, the infant-toddler selection takes counting, a frequent subject of children’s books, and gives it new life with playful illustrations and a surprise ending. This quarter’s Books of Excellence highlight math and/or music in some way. Understanding both math and music leads to a deeper grasp of numerical concepts and perhaps even a deeper understanding of the world. There are many overlapping concepts between math and music, including rhythm, counting, understanding patterns, high and low, and up and down. We know that learning one improves an understanding of the other and vice versa. Learning about numbers and quantity and learning to appreciate and understand musical concepts are integrally connected for children.

Cant trash duplicates in photosweeper9/24/2023 MacBooster reminds you that even opened applications and documents can be exploited by hackers. It cleans up cookies, browsing and downloading history, HTML5 local storage, tabs, saved passwords, etc. Privacy protection takes care of all potential threats to user privacy. The most useful thing here is the Details button: click it and view the memory share of all currently running applications, both in Mbs and percentage. This option is promising, yet typically it won’t do much - around 20% of memory might be released at best, and most likely it will get back to what it was beforehand in a few minutes. It shows the amount of memory used currently (in Gbs and percentage), and suggests ways to enhance it. Memory clean feature helps to rearrange operational memory. This includes finding non-compliant cache files, index files, fixing the disk permission issues caused by third-party apps, fixing cache settings, etc. Turbo boost is a feature to optimize hard drive, disk permissions, and disk storage. If you look through the list, it might help to understand the sources of those malware elements and try to prevent their appearance in future (not all cookies are malicious though).Īpart from general system status and basic cleanup, as described above, the program includes a number of tools that help to boost performance of your Mac: On the right side you can see a complete list of threats, sorted by name, kind or quantity. 30 minutes after finding and fixing numerous malware threats for the first time, repeated scanning has detected 9 more malicious cookies (however, initially the amount was much bigger). This tool appears to be a never-ending source for improvement. For our test Mac it has revealed 15% more junk files than CleanMyMac has found. When entering each of these tabs, you can see in detail files/apps/areas to fix, or just clean it all with one click. It is also possible to scan disk for junk files, viruses, malware, and optimization options separately. Apart from that, it shows the opportunities of Turbo boost - tools to improve disk performance, including disk optimization, permission optimization, storage optimization. Scanning is telling us how much storage space is filled with junk files, potential malware elements in files and applications. When over, MacBooster evaluates the system and, in our case, system status has changed from Unknown to Dangerous. Full scan of a 120Gb hard drive takes about 2 minutes. System Junkįrom the start, MacBooster invites you to check the system status by clicking the Scan button. Before applying MacBooster it was just 3GB. So, for the record, we have an all-time clogged 120GB hard drive that gets overheated constantly, and free storage is hardly ever more than 6GB. Let’s have a closer look on how it performs in this MacBooster review. It is developed by IObit and is available in 15 languages. antivirus, junk cleaning, privacy control, memory cleaning, etc. Backups are important.Are you worried about your Mac getting overheated and making weird noises? Are you constantly deleting photos, music, and films to get more storage space? Consider a program for hard drive optimization - MacBooster. If this didn’t answer your question, be sure to say so. (And if you are paying by how much you upload, you monthly bill also continues to grow).īackblaze works the same except your oldest backups are deleted after one year unless you play extra to retain them longer. By default Arqbackup keeps everything forever, so as you add new files and/or modify existing files, the amount of data you are storing in the cloud continues to grow. With cloud backups like Arqbackup and Backblaze how long you can recover a file can vary. (When a TM drive becomes full the oldest backups are deleted.). With Time Machine, you should be able to recover your accidentally deleted photo as long as your external drive has never become full. After 30 days the photo would be lost forever. If you accidentally deleted a photo you would be able to recover it from iCloud for up to 30 days. The question is, “Are you really backing up?” If you are making a true backup, and not a sync, then yes you should be able to find a deleted file on the external drive. If I understand your question, I would say “that depends”. Would I be able to find a deleted file from my Mac on the external drive?

Harry potter magical words9/24/2023 This spell also proves that you can take on your worst fears if you concentrate hard enough. When it's used correctly, it produces a humorous result. The most effective spell against a Boggart (a shape-shifter that take on the form of its victim's worst fear) depends entirely on what the conjurer is concentrating on. Though it's a simple spell, Harry used it to defeat Voldemort, his greatest opponent of all time. This spell brings laughter into the world (given that your target is ticklish), and that's always a good thing! 7) Expelliarmus (disarming charm)īest known as Harry's signature spell throughout the series, this charm disarms the conjuror's opponent, usually by flinging the victim's wand out of reach. It might sound funny, but it definitely helped Harry in his duel with Draco Malfoy in the second book of the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It can be argued that this is the spell that began Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger's friendship. This spell was introduced in the very first book of the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, when Charms Professor Filius Flitwick had his class practice levitating feathers. Fair warning, though, there are a few spoilers! 9) Wingardium Leviosa (levitation charm) In celebration of Harry Potter Month, we've put together a list of our favorite spells of all time. Rowling released a brand new short story on Pottermore and Diagon Alley opened at Universal Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter. In honor of Harry Potter's birthday on July 31, The Scholastic Store officially named July Harry Potter Month.
