Missing Pumpkin

One of my favorite lessons was designed to help a year of kindergarten session for questions and improve their writing skills. We call it our "Missing the mystery of the pumpkin."

A week of October was the pumpkins on display at school. We were preparing for the day when we scoop the insides out, count the seeds and chop.

This particular group of students has more work is needed to produce the questions and to use descriptive words in their writing. So part of the school staff helped me stage "Missing Pumpkin Mystery."

A day after their period Specials (art, music, physical ed, etc.) pumpkin was absent from the classroom. When they noticed, we've decided on a plan to get our pumpkins back.

The first thing you should not make "Wanted" poster of our pumpkin. The students took a brown paper bag and a photo of our pumpkin on it. They then had to write three sentences to describe the pumpkins as others know if they saw our pumpkins. "

Then I decided to inform us of our main missing pumpkins to see if he could help us. (He had given me, the specialist media, made coffee, and our day in the custody of their script so it would take us to the next person to find the pumpkin).

The children have had to explain what happened, ask questions, and then shoot out of each pumpkin. The principal suggested that we ask the media expert, "because he saw a lot of pumpkins in the Media Center." He suggested we use the coffee shop assistant because "maybe they need to make pumpkin pie." Coffee shop assistant suggested to ask the mother "because he sees the whole school to clean the whole mess." As we have seen, 'put in our fridge, because he was afraid it would rot. "

We had a lot of fun with this activity and provided children with a real reason to use the skills they wanted to practice.

'Post It' Charts

Here is a simple strategy you use a lot in my class. Write the name of each child in a post-it. "I can write a question on a sheet of paper each and usually add visual effects for each column of the table. Here is a picture of our latest video:



I like to use to write the charts for many reasons:

1) They help children learn reading skills, reading their names and the names of their peers'.

2) They help children develop their language skills by answering questions and making choices.

3) They help children develop skills related to employment and concentration because they are actively involved, and they physically visit their own name on the card.

4) They help children develop social skills, learn to shoot and wait their turn.

5) They help children develop math skills to count the number of votes in each column and discuss the concepts more, less, and the same (equal).

6) They help children develop reading skills by becoming a part of our environmental footprint in the classroom.

7) It is a fast and easy! That means we do not spend more time preparing materials for children is needed to effectively participate in the activity.

Facts About Community College - 5 Benefits of Attending Community College

While many students decide to attend major universities in other states for their education, there are those who decide to stay local and attend their county community college for their education. Community colleges are a great way for you to begin your college education and these colleges can offer you a number of benefits that you may not have thought of previously.
1. It's affordable. Community colleges tend to have low tuition rates, especially if you live within the county that the school is in. In fact, many students have been able to afford these colleges on their own with little-to-no help from financial aid, loans, or grants. These Schools can also offer flexible payment plans to help make it easier to afford your education.
2. Transfer your credits. Most 4 year colleges and universities will allow you to transfer your community college credits to their school so you can work on completing a bachelor's degree program after graduating from a 2-year  program.
3. It's not only your money, but your time. Since these schools are usually 2-year schools, you can explore a variety of majors without having to devote 4 years of your life to a topic of study you may not even enjoy at the end. Since these types of colleges are affordable, you can study several subjects to determine which one is the best for you.
4. Go vocational! Many community college also offer vocational programs for those who want to put their skills to use right away. These courses are offered during the day, evenings, and even on weekends.
5. Continuing Education - If you already have a degree or are in a field that you really enjoy and don't really need to earn a degree but just "brush up" on your skills, community colleges offer a variety of continuing education courses. These are usually held on evenings or weekends so that working adults can attend.

PBS: "All" Means All

When I was in college and learning the social foundations of education, I remember being surprised to learn that the word "all" means different things to different historical and theoretical contributors. Sometimes "all" men were the owners of land, sometimes included women, sometimes including children, and sometimes people with disabilities, but rarely meant "all."

A few weeks ago I attended a workshop to train trainers teach strategies for families of PBS. As I think about the elements of PBS and start planning our workshops in the family, I am back to a slide, a friend and I created when we were training new teachers how to develop their RE class. We reached the conclusion that when the support systems of positive behavior and philosophy, "all" should really mean "all."

children who raise their hands and shouting of children

Children who bathe every night and children in need

Children who write with their pencils and children who throw their pencils

children who say "I love you!" and children who say "$ # @% you!"

children with a cloth and wipe the mucus from your child you

children, you go home in a split second, and the children whom you hope is absent

Children with parents to provide support and challenge children with parents

are responsible for your actions and the children that the discharge of your bag of tricks

Children who always get their medications and children not

Our main goal to put the above statements has been to encourage teachers to reflect on the following question:

I am providing a safe learning environment for all students?
