Beginning readers use many different strategies to become more fluent readers. One of the most important methods is learning to read and recognize sight words. These are basic words that are memorized rather than sounded out. You can work with your child at home to develop sight word recognition. I can tell you after teaching for 15 years, working hard to learn these words by sight (memorizing) pays off. It can speed up how quickly your child learns to read. They are important to learn so your child doesn''t get discouraged when they have to stop and sound out every. single. word. Kids start kindergarten knowing their letter sounds. Some kids are even able to read a handful of basic words.

A mustard seed. God asks us to have faith the size of an itty, bitty, tiny mustard seed. Now that shouldn''t be so hard, should it? And yet, so many times we experience difficult, even traumatic events in our lives that make us ask questions like, "If God loves us and wants the very best for us, why does He allow such horrible things to happen?"For Kevin, it was a mass shooting in his town of Buffalo, Minnesota that brought him to ask this important question. And each time he prayed, he heard the words, "Can you trust me this much? Those words kept replaying in his mind over and over again. Kevin eventually wrote those six words down on strips of paper and Scotch-taped a mustard seed to each one. He proceeded to place the strips in random places. They were in his house, his business, on his computer, and even in his car.What Kevin discovered was how the traumatic events we all face in life can either destroy us or bring us to a place where we realize our pain has a purpose. And when we finally get real and have the crazy courage to face the big hurts - those life-changing events - we can answer with certainty, "Yes?yes, I can trust you this much!"

Salt water is produced from the Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale in central Utah as part of the production of coalbed methane (CBM) and is disposed of by injection predominantly into the Navajo Sandstone between 4,500 feet to 7,300 feet and is considered to be a hazardous waste. Local government agencies are concerned about the potential impacts on shallow groundwater because of this disposal method. Water samples were gathered from four shallow water-supply wells, and nine salt water disposal (SWD) wells to compare hydrochemistries as an indicator of potential mixing. Shallow water-supply wells are likely recharged by local precipitation while the source of CO2 is from atmospheric and/or soil CO2 gas and comparatively, are low in total dissolved solids. Carbonate mineral dissolution is the source of CO2 in the SWD wells and is exceptionally high in TDS. The SWD water appears to be old water and displays an evaporative signature. A geologic analysis was conducted for the Drunkards Wash gas field using 479 digital gas well logs. Three subsurface faults were identified with one fault in the north and the other two in the central part of the gas field near the eastern and western flanks. These faults were further confirmed by comparing average monthly gas and water production from the first 24 months in these faulted areas to adjacent control areas. Areas near faults reveal two to six times greater gas production than that of the associated control areas, and water production is greater by nearly an order of magnitude. This difference is likely due to the fracturing associated with the damage zone near the faults allowing for increased flow of gas and water. Due to the high injection pressures the vertical hydraulic gradient has been reversed from downward to upward. However, due to the thick sequences of shale separating the disposal aquifers and the shallow aquifers the estimated time required for the disposal waters to migrate to the surface would be at least 2,000 years. I conclude that the saline waters produced from the Ferron Sandstone are being safely sequestered in deeply buried, extensive and geologically-sealed aquifers.
