The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday.

School students need to learn mathematics, but it is not necessarily an easy subject to teach. The following strategies can be employed in teaching mathematics:. Explicit instruction clearly and directly tells students what they need to do and how to do it in an organized manner. This process involves guiding students by asking relevant questions, the teacher solving sample problems, and having students attempt to solve problems on their own. Students then work independently, check their answers, and review difficult problems.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
