As a teacher, I know that my kids work and learn
best in small groups. Whole group instruction is just so difficult when I have
17 different students at about 10 different levels. No wonder it is hard to
keep a class focused at the same time. Each set of students learn an entirely
different way than another set of students. First I tried reducing my whole
group instruction and putting more time into stations. My kids loved it and I
saw their growth skyrocket. So I decided to take the unconventional leap and take
out all whole group instruction. All of my best teachings takes place with less
than six kids anyways. Why not teach them like this all the time?<br />

<span lang="EN">I switched my classroom to all station-based
learning the last couple months and the kids are loving it. They feel so
independent at their little workstations, collaborative meetings, and tech
time. One thing I have noticed, though, is that I am running through a lot more
paper. Every station needs instructions. And let’s be honest, the instructions
get lost within the first week. Whether a kid accidentally picked the copy up
and something was spilled, my instructions always get lost. My trick was to
invest in some <a href="https://embpics.blogspot.com/2016/11/moving-company-paperwork-that-is-needed.html" target="_blank">shipping supplies</a>. That’s right! I ordered some job ticket
holders from a <a href="https://embpics.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">shipping supplies</a> company and have been loving them ever since.</span><br />

<span lang="EN">You could go with classic black or upgrade to all
sorts of different colors. In my room, each color stands for something
different. Red are always instructions, blue is independent work, and green is
partner work. I have them strategically placed around the room for easy access
for the kids. We spend a lot of time learning and revisiting procedures so the
kids always know what is expected of them. They know to pick up their job
ticket holders and get right to work.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="normal">
<span lang="EN"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN">I don’t have to make as many copies of things
because they can use the clear holders to write on! Every kid has their own dry
erase marker and they can actually check off lists or complete their worksheets
without ever actually writing on the paper! Most of my station work is ungraded
anyway. So one student can write all over the outside, turn it in for a quick
check, use wipes to erase their work, and the next kid can get started right
after! It has been such a lifesaver and a tree saver! Each year and group of
kids is different, but I think this is one trick I’m going to keep around for
quite a while! </span></div>

What should you use? </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We’ll dive into that here today, in order to give you a definitive answer on the type of shrink film in which you should be using. </span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-607e0457-7fff-5c43-04b5-75dc5427b631"><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: #2f5496; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Clear Shrink Wrap </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is shrink film, and it’s a substrate of packaging made from one of three main types of formulations of plastic. </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">They usually include PVC, PE, or POF types of film, with different properties that are good for applications.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cZAVwZjInoI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Usually, this is on a flat sheet that’s around a cone of carboard and are usually available in different gauges or widths of size.

Then get some printed shrink film. </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you need a packaging to be clear so people can see it? Then you should have clear shrink wrap as the superior choice for this. </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are you looking to replace labels by putting them directly on the packaging? Then get the printed shrink film. </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Does your budget allow for enough printed shrink film? If the answer to tis is no, stick with the clear wrap, but if you’re able to, get it printed. Light gauge printed shrink wrap is another type of shrink wrap that is an alternative. </span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">And finally, look at the plastic packaging needs that you have. If you’re trying to put together a sustainable packaging that doesn’t use plastic? If the answer’s yes, don’t use either of these. But there is a plant based bio film that you can use which is a great alternative to plastic. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgoXBEqoopuaf_dz7CCKkkIrbV-RaFIsEa2H6-pW3Xy_LcI-Vit3pfGc8Mehe6YlS3ZIaLCRQnaAaDsmNijYVDf1U6dTb916H8gYgrbfkvYIic11jo7Yk7s4KNtiWM1Ui2VtS8MVEZmsOxK7SrB5VR9V2ZlKyVxhaTvwb2NVbqcgFEDDqU91nCPZKMX=s599" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="599" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgoXBEqoopuaf_dz7CCKkkIrbV-RaFIsEa2H6-pW3Xy_LcI-Vit3pfGc8Mehe6YlS3ZIaLCRQnaAaDsmNijYVDf1U6dTb916H8gYgrbfkvYIic11jo7Yk7s4KNtiWM1Ui2VtS8MVEZmsOxK7SrB5VR9V2ZlKyVxhaTvwb2NVbqcgFEDDqU91nCPZKMX=w569-h317" width="569" /></a></div><br /><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shrink film is good for you, and there are a lot of o benefits to be had with all of this.

<br />
It’s pretty boring to deal with the tasks related to moving.
Packing items for day, weeks or even months and turning the lifestyle into nomadic
one by disconnecting services and putting necessary items out of reach is not
only boring but scaring. Nevertheless, there is even more boring task that
awaits you ahead of moving day, i.e. dealing with the paperwork that moving
company provides you. This length of this tiresome reading can sometimes drive
you to make a mistake; for instance, signing the papers without reading them
completely. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No matter how boring or difficult it is to read the
company’s paperwork, you should read it completely and carefully. If you are
failing to understand any point call the moving company and discuss the issue
to get complete understanding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is a checklist that you should complete in order to
make your move smoother.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The price estimate<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moving price estimate is perhaps the first documentation
that you should receive from the moving company. Read the estimate carefully
and match the final price with the sum of individual tasks mentioned in the
estimate. If that math is simple and you are able to understand the formula according
to which you are charged, that's fine. If you don’t, read the estimate again
and find the most confusing factor. Call the moving company and request for the
clarification about the estimate. If you still don’t understand, ask them
again. This questioning is the process that will create a relation of trust
between you and the moving company.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The order of service<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon finding the price estimate and conditions suitable, now
you will call the moving company to inform them that you are willing to acquire
their services. After that, they will send you an order of service, which is a
document that states several services that company can offer along with the
policies that are applicable. The main elements of this document include date
of picking items, date of delivering, recommendation about <a href="http://www.druzestudies.org/2016/06/02/adult-party-games-made-out-of-shipping-supplies/" target="_blank">packaging supplies</a>, cancellation
policy, and type of vehicle to be used etc. Read the document carefully and don’t
sign it immediately. Call the service again and try to explore if there are any
hidden charges that will be later masked as taxes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Bill of lading</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-46eP80LT0pA/WC8PQZb9cpI/AAAAAAAAABA/GyCeShxDyYYIOtMQ93xATFqWpGJtFgnngCLcB/s1600/paperwork.jpg" /></div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_lading" target="_blank">Bill of lading</a> is an extremely important document that you
will receive on the moving day. You must sign this document before the moving
begins. The best practice is to match the terms and prices mentioned in the
bill with the document copy of order of service. Make sure that statements in
both these documents are synchronized. If there is a difference, ask from the
movers for the clarification about that difference.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Inventory sheet</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The final document that you should get is the inventory
sheet. Inventory sheet should contain a list of all the items that you are
going to move to the new house. The additional benefit that you can get from
this document is that it will serve as a checklist at destination. There, you
can make sure that all of the listed items are delivered at your new home.<o:p></o:p><br />
