Today I am going to be reviewing Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil 1400mg that I received through Tomoson.
These Fish Oil pills are an excellent and high quality supplement. I have been taking these fish oil pills for the past few weeks. They have a 180 pills so if you take 2 a day that should last you for awhile. What I liked most about this fish oil supplement was that they were small and round and didn’t have an aftertaste or fish burps like ones that I have taken in the past. They have 1,000mg of Omega-3 per serving.
I recommend Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil 1400mg to anyone that wants a high quality fish oil supplement packed into a small pill.
You can find it on Amazon

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are 100% my own.
Thank you so much for stopping by!I'm assuming you raided back when 40 mans were a thing and I think that's a huge part of it. It was simply impossible to pug BWL. You NEEDED 39 other coordinated, geared, and trustworthy players to do it. And even then, it was hard. When I play on a private server with people who've only played modern retail I have to revive them and tell them it's not like retail. You can't pull the whole room, even on the easiest instances. The game changed, I don't think it's a good or bad thing, but it's a thing.- Stacy Solis
My Top 10 Effective Strategies to Improve Student Engagement
Updated: Apr 5, 2021
Student engagement has always been one of my favorite things to plan as an educator. I love to plan for not just “fun” activities, but lessons that will keep my students engaged and learning while they work. When the pandemic hit last year, my district went from face-to-face learning to distance learning in a matter of days. I went from being confident as a teacher to not knowing what the heck I was doing. Last year’s “virtual teaching” was significantly different from this year’s teaching. Last year I was surviving, whereas this year I feel as if I am thriving. Do all my students engage every single day? Nope. But what I focus on are the students who ARE engaged, present, and focused on the task. Those who are not, I connect with on other levels. There is never a school day where I do not speak to or message a student or their parents. There is no one size that fits all when it comes to virtual student engagement. What works for one teacher may not work for the teacher in the next room. It depends on the teacher, the class of students and often just what day of the week it is. Below are my top 10 ways to improve student engagement in my classroom.
Know and understand your students. To engage your students on an academic level, you need to know them on a more personal level. I am fortunate enough to know many of my students this year already, as I taught them when they were 4th graders. However, that is not enough. I need to know ALL my students and to do this I make sure I start with a morning greeting. When we were in “normal” school I always greeted my students at the door with a handshake (of their choosing) and saying good morning. This has not changed online, as every student deserves to hear their name every day. We turn on our cameras and say good morning one at a time. No excuses, this is done every day, and I have 31 students. Does it take a few minutes, yes of course it does, but it is a few minutes of our day that is worth every single minute. Next, do a morning check-in and morning meeting. I have a form that I use to check in with my students each morning. Morning meetings are also a great way to get to know your students and how they think. I have 6th-graders and understanding where they come from in a morning meeting has been a lifesaver. Have lunch with your students, yes, lunch online. I do not make this a “treat” or something my students must work towards; we will just hang out online during our lunchtime. They do not have to earn it, because that would, unfortunately, take it away from many of the students who need this time. We just talk, sometimes play video games, and be silly. Finally, let your students into your life. I know this is not for every teacher, but it works for me. My students know about me, about my children, and about my life.
Student ownership When I was a first-year teacher I had no idea what student ownership meant. I thought that hanging up some student work on the walls was enough to give my students ownership of their classroom. Needless to say, it wasn’t. To give my students ownership of THEIR classroom I start by providing some choice. By providing student choice I do not just mean they get to choose where they sit and call it a day. I also do not offer choice all the time, but I do incorporate choice boards into my weekly lesson plans. Padlet is an excellent option to provide choice boards to your students virtually. Check out an example I made here. I do give them a choice to keep their cameras off (most of the time, see the post below). I establish clear learning objectives. My students know what they are expected to learn because I make it a point to tell them at the beginning of each lesson and to do frequent temperature checks throughout my lessons. Authentic and instant feedback is important to providing student ownership. In an online environment, this is hard to do, which again is why I use Padlet. I also use Nearpod to help provide instant feedback, although the lag that many of my students have makes Nearpod for feedback a little tougher than Padlet. I make sure to incorporate real-life connections into my students’ lessons. If they are working on a language arts lesson that may be a little dull, I try to incorporate it into their real lives, and things that they may be able to associate with. Finally, to provide student ownership I work on a teaching strategy called reciprocal teaching. It is not as easy to work on in a virtual environment, but with some time and patience, it can be done.
Don’t force cameras to be turned on all the time. Cameras are a touchy subject in a virtual environment. I know many districts that require cameras to always be turned on. Mine does not, and I am thankful for that. Why? It all boils back down to engagement. If my students are participating, by unmuting when I ask them to, answering questions in the chat, logging into Nearpod and Padlet, then I honestly don’t care if their cameras are on. I teach 6th-grade, at a Title I school, there are many students who deal with distractions in the background, homes they do not want their peers to see, who are uncomfortable with their appearance, and so on. There are times during the day I will ask for cameras to be turned on, just so, I can see everyone is there, but for the most part, I give my students a choice. I know! Touchy subject and I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion and allowing my students to keep their cameras off is mine.
Collaboration Students love to talk to their peers. Give them the opportunity to do so. I know you are thinking how hard this is in a virtual environment, but it doesn’t have to be. Start out small, give them some time to talk just for fun during their morning meeting and during breaks. If they are comfortable using the chat, then let them use the chat. From there start branching out to having them talk about the text you are reading or the math problem you are doing. Sentence stems work wonders, but don’t expect magic to happen right away. Provide them with the question and sentence stem and send them to a breakout room to talk for a few minutes. Set some ground rules and expectations of them while they are in their rooms, and then provide them a chance to share with the whole class. It can be done virtually; it just takes time and planning.
Positivity I took a professional development course a few years ago where I learned the praise-to-criticism approach to classroom management. For every negative comment you make to a student, you should provide three positive comments back. It is an even higher ratio of positives when you work with tier three behavior students. I kept track for an entire week and noticed how many negative comments I was making. I made it a point to change that aspect of my classroom management plan and noticed almost right away what a difference it made. I am now an extremely positive teacher and praise my students frequently for a job well done. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects “Why is no one turning in their assignments” I focus on the positives, “Great job Megan for turning your work in on time. “Students love to be praised, and even 6th-graders still want the approval of their teacher. I use Class Dojo frequently as a motivator, and only give out positive points. Even sixth graders want to work for rewards and want to be part of my raffle at the end of the week.
Connect with families. Connecting with families is time-consuming, but necessary. If parents don’t know what is expected of their children, then they cannot support them at home. I use a wonderful application called “Talking Points” (see My Favorite Distance Learning Websites) to connect with my parents. When that doesn’t work, I pick up the phone and call them. When that doesn’t work, I get ahold of our
