![]() If they are unsure as to whether their spelling is correct, I teach them to circle that word and move on. So when they are writing their outline or rough draft and come to a word they don’t know how to spell, they use their own phonetic spelling (stretch out the sounds and spell the word on their own as best they can). If they’re too worried about making sure that every single word is spelled right, it keeps stopping the flow when it comes to their thoughts about how to formulate sentences. Pre-writing is when I just want the kids to get their ideas out and down on paper. When they are in the pre-writing stages (making an outline or rough draft), I tell them to keep those dictionaries put away! This is the time for the invented phonetic spelling I mentioned above…at this stage of the game, correct spelling does not matter! This is also known in my class as “second base,” since I teach the writing process using a baseball theme (you can read more on that here). I tell them that these are a tool to use when we are specifically in the editing and revising phase of the writing process. Kids might be taking them out all day long otherwise, and barely getting any words down on the paper. When I first introduce these, I teach the kids that they do NOT need to take out their dictionary every time they don’t know how to spell a word. Student Spelling Dictionary as an Editing Tool in the Writing Process This easy access makes it super convenient, rather than 30 students having to share the two copies of hardcover Webster dictionaries in our classroom library. Each child has their own, and they keep it in their writing folder. I’ll go ahead and walk you through how I’ve used these dictionaries with my own classes. ![]() For example, some of the categories are colors, holidays, etc. ![]() Not only do they allow students to search words for A-Z, but for quick reference, there are also categories for common words in the back of the dictionary. These contain the most commonly used words in writing, but much less words than a regular dictionary, making it more attainable for young readers to search for the word that they’re looking for. They are a kid-friendly introduction to using a dictionary to check for spelling. It is an extremely useful tool for kids who are first learning how to edit their own writing. Student Spelling DictionaryĪ student spelling dictionary is one effective way to provide guidance and support. The way I interpret the phrase “guidance and support from adults” is that we shouldn’t just be throwing a huge Webster’s dictionary their way and letting them sink or swim, but at the same time, we also shouldn’t be editing all of their writing FOR them. The goal is for students to move a step further beyond invented phonetic spelling and start working to improve their writing through editing and revision. With guidance and support from adults and peers, focus on a topic and strengthen writing as needed by revising and editing. The second grade Common Core standard for editing writing is as follows: But I also start to build that bridge between invented spelling and correct spelling, as they begin learning about how to edit their writing. Students stretch out words to hear the sounds and write the letters to match. In second grade, I still encourage phonetic spelling. Developmentally, it builds their confidence and independence as young writers, making them less inclined to rely on grown-ups to always tell them if their spelling is right. There is much to be said for invented spelling (especially in the early primary grades), where students make their own spelling based on the phonetic sounds they hear in the word. ![]() Similarly, a frequent question from family members working with them at home is: “Should I help correct their spelling?”Ī student spelling dictionary plays a beneficial part in answering both those questions. ![]() It’s a common question that just about every elementary teacher has heard from students many a time. If you’ve ever been asked: “How do you spell _?” then a student spelling dictionary is likely to be a useful tool in your classroom. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() In Java Edition, pillagers do not retaliate on vindicators or evokers that attack them.Ī passive pillager holding an ominous banner in the right hand. In Bedrock Edition, a pillager that accidentally harms a vindicator or evoker causes it to retaliate and attack the pillager. Pillagers also aid other pillagers attacked by other mobs. Pillagers are hostile toward players, iron golems, wandering traders and adult villagers. Enchanted books have level 30 enchantments, which can also be treasure enchantments.These drops are affected by the Looting enchantment.Iron equipment drops are always of 30 to 90% item durability.Said equipment may also have enchantment combinations that cannot be normally obtained, such as Blast Protection and Fire Protection on the same pair of boots. The iron equipment drops have a 50% chance to be enchanted at level 5 to 19.In Bedrock Edition, pillagers that were spawned by raids have a 6% chance on easy and normal or 80% chance on hard difficulties to drop these: Its illager ominous banner if spawned as a captain.5 experience points and an additional 1–3 points per naturally-spawned equipment when killed by the player or a tamed wolf.The chance ranges from 0% to 10% depending on the regional difficulty. The crossbow is of a random durability and has a chance of being enchanted. The drop chance increases by 1% per level of Looting. The crossbow may be loaded or unloaded depending on the crossbow's state when the pillager dies. There is a 8.5% chance to drop a crossbow when killed by the player or a tamed wolf.Each level of the Looting enchantment increases the maximum number of arrows dropped for up to five. In Bedrock Edition, pillagers drop 0 - 2 arrows.In Java Edition, pillagers spawn during bonus waves and have the largest chance of being the raid captain in the first wave, but in the second wave and onwards, vindicators have a greater chance than pillagers of being the raid captain. In Bedrock Edition, one of the ravagers is ridden by a pillager instead of a vindicator on the seventh wave. One pillager spawns riding a ravager in the fifth wave. Despite this, they still constitute the majority of raiders in total. In a raid, pillagers are more common in the earlier waves and decrease in number as the waves progress. A maximum of eight pillagers spawn naturally in an outpost. In Bedrock Edition, pillagers continually spawn at or below a particular location in the outpost, choosing the highest opaque block with a non-solid block on top and spawning on the northwest corner. In Java Edition, there can be unlimited pillagers that spawn in outposts naturally, limited only by the natural spawning rules. They may spawn on any valid opaque block if the block light level is less than or equal to 8. Some pillagers spawn as outpost captains. Pillagers continually spawn in a 72×54×72 block volume centered on the top floor in a pillager outpost. After 5 1⁄ 2 in-game days, patrols appear 24 to 48 blocks away from the player, at a light level of 7 and below on Easy or any light level on Normal and Hard difficulty. One of these pillagers is a patrol captain. In Bedrock Edition, each patrol spawns two to five pillagers. The individual pillagers of a patrol can spawn only at block light level less than 9, regardless of sky light. A patrol spawns 24 to 48 blocks away from a random player, on the highest solid block. Patrols occur after 5 1⁄ 2 in-game days, any time and independently of structures, which means they still spawn in worlds without generated structures. In Java Edition, the number of pillagers spawning in each patrol varies from one to five and depends on the regional difficulty, with one spawning as a patrol captain. In Java Edition, a pillager spawned by a player using a spawn egg or commands can be a captain which has an ominous banner sticking out of its head. ![]() ![]() In particular, you will need your “Account SID”, an “API Key SID” and its corresponding “API Key Secret”.

While turbulence is a perfectly normal part of flying – it happens when the plane encounters normal weather patterns like air currents or clouds – the idea of shaking while in the air can be very unsettling. Once you become knowledgeable, your 'what if' thoughts will be limited by the facts," said Seif. "Our anxiety is fed by 'what if?' catastrophic thoughts. For example, aircraft must be able to support one-and-a-half times the maximum load it would ever carry and weathering environmental extremes such as 120-degree temperatures. It also helps to understand just how rigorous safety measures are for aircraft. Read up on the typical bumps and noises that may occur during a flight. Sometimes all it takes to combat anxiety is a little information. You're about to land and the plane is rattling like both of its wheels are about to fall off – is it time to panic? No, the carry-on luggage and the seat-back tables are shifting slightly – just like they do every time the plane takes off and lands. Familiarize yourself with airplane noises ![]() ![]() It helps to recognize that your phobia is irrational, but you need to be able to pinpoint the cause of your fear before you can take that next step. "The common denominator for more than 90 percent of flight phobics is the fear that they will become overwhelmed with anxiety during the flight," says Seif, a clinical psychologist who runs the Freedom to Fly program at the Anxiety & Phobia Treatment Center in White Plains, New York. Different aspects of flying can trigger different fears depending on the person – for instance, one person may be afraid of turbulence and feel nervous during a perfectly normal takeoff, while an individual with germaphobic tendencies may be more concerned about the spread of germs in a confined space.

And advice like showing up early at the airport to eliminate unnecessary stress is practical as well, but for the most nervous nellies among us, it takes a little bit more to get us up in the air. While that's very true – your chances of dying in a plane crash are about one in 10 million compared with a one-in-272 chance of dying in a car crash – that's not always enough to quell the jitters. If you do fall in this category, you've probably had friends and family remind you numerous times that flying is the safest mode of transportation.

Pets in extreme pain sometimes yowl in pain, but older cats with cognitive problems sometimes vocalize out of distress. Other indications can include head tilting, gait changes, lameness, and grooming difficulties. They often hunch over and sit with their tails tightly wrapped around their bodies. Cats that aren’t feeling well sometimes become lethargic and exhibit behavior changes, like eating, peeing, or drinking more or less than they usually do. Identifying sick cats can sometimes be challenging since they’re often inclined to hide signs of illness. To help a scared cat, remove the trigger (if possible) and allow your buddy enough room to escape to prevent them from feeling trapped, which can increase anxiety and aggression. When frightened, most cats need time and space to return to a comfortable baseline. ![]() Cats’ pupils also often dilate when they’re on high alert, and they’re on the verge of attacking. And some keep their weight on their back paws to allow faster front paw deployment if needed. Upset cats often hold their ears back and down, almost flat on their heads or off to the side. Other signs indicating a cat is scared include an arched tail and back hair standing on end. Terrified cats often stare at the triggering object or person while hissing or showing their teeth, which can sometimes indicate that a cat is on the verge of becoming aggressive out of fear. A cat that is happy, relaxed, or care-soliciting may purr, but in some situations, purring can indicate that the cat is injured or sick. Incredibly comfortable cats often knead while snuggling with their favorite humans. Slow, steady blinks while holding your gaze can be considered the equivalent of a feline hug or kiss. Happy cats are also inclined to spread out while relaxing. However, be careful not to interpret this posture as an invitation for tummy rubs, as many cats prefer ear, back, and side petting. Content Kitties often lay on their sides or backs, exposing their vulnerable tummies. Some will bend the tip of their tail in the direction of particularly loved people.
