Urgent: mom's pleco passed, want to preserve bones

My mom's pleco fish that she's had for over 7 years passed this afternoon

I often work with bones I find laying around, but never any fish or full bodies

Does anyone know the best method to preserve the bones? I want to make it a gift for her since she's quite torn up about it

I genuinely don't want to mess up, so if anyone knows or has done this before, I would appreciate any help !! 💕

Teacher asking advice about Chinese learner

I have 3 children (grade 6, about 12 years old) who moved to my country from china a year ago. They are still learning English.

I want to give them a small gift for how well they've been doing. They have experienced bullying by other classmates, and other teachers haven't been very understanding and get frustrated with them very quickly.

My idea was to give them a drawing (I can do cute drawings of animals) with a note in Mandarin (short so I don't mess up, just saying good luck or well done)

If there's any cultural specific phrases that teachers use, I'd appreciate if anyone could share that too 💗

But yes I wanted to know if there's anything I can do to make it better?

My one friend told me to use red card/paper since the colour red has significance, but we both don't know much about it. So I thought I'd ask here :]

(Apologies if I used the wrong flair, I just finished teaching for the day and I'm exhausted)

I'd appreciate any and all help! Thank you in advance 💕
