There is a carpet area for circle time, a quiet area with books, an area with blocks and puzzles, an area for painting, writing and coloring to develop fine motor skills, and dress-up and pretend home area i.e. kitchen sets with dishes and pretend food,

Put all the blocks on the table or ground. Invite the students over. I will tell them that they will be building a house for a Dog today. Ask them what they think they will be using to build the house. Tell them that they will be using play dough and blocks. Clarify that pretend is not real. We can pretend to cook at the play kitchen or pretend to be a dog. Explain that mice cannot really build a house with blocks and clay. This is just pretending and the Dog they are using in their activity is pretend only. Ask the children what they like to pretend to be or do when they grow up.

Teachers, who are aware of children becoming emergent writers, can better understand the amount of effort and concentration required. Teachers can appreciate the value of observing children’s early writing for evidence of children’s developing phonological knowledge of written language.

Writing is a complex social and cognitive process and requires fine motor coordination. Students with learning disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) struggle with remembering what to write, rules involved in writing, or facts needed for the writing prompt. Students with LD and ADHD require explicit and direct instruction in writing. In Head Start, we use a program called Handwriting without Tears. Handwriting without Tears is a scientifically based program used to teach young children how to form letters using a variety of methods. Many students with LD and ADHD struggle to learn the mechanics of writing, such as capitalization, rules such as I before E except after C, or write about scattered facts they have

It was a sunny July afternoon. All was silent except for a few birds singing. The silence was soon broken by the cries of a new baby boy. The time was 12:02pm and Justin Thornburg was born. July 14, 2001, was a life changing event for his proud parents Melissa and Chris Thornburg. Justin weighed a stunning 7lbs and 10.5oz. Justin was the second son of soon to be three. As time went on Justin grew and had dreams of changing the world.

There are many factors which can aid language development, particularly through writing (Watts et al., 2013). Jones and Coffey (2013) identified that writing should be developed procedurally through copying, initially at word level- to learn spellings and develop familiarisation with vocabulary and individual letters. Before then progressing to phrase-level and on to sentences. It is thought that through copying the children are beginning to memorise the vocabulary and can help them to engrain key sentence structures, as they pay close attention to the individual words and spellings. Macaro (2006) has also identified that copy-writing is often used as a way of remembering spellings for new target vocabulary. Hurrell (1999) criticises the motion of copy-writing: as it gives the children too many things to focus on.

In the classroom, Aaron has availability to alphabet books, alphabet letters, crayons and pencils for writing, writing journal, and a desk for writing. With these learning materials Aaron is able to practice reading and writing skills on a daily basis. During writing, students are encouraged to write words to the best of their ability, and drawings are accepted as a form of communicating thoughts and ideas. When writing it is important to allow students to use resources around the room to help guide their writing. Aaron is able to locate a letter and then a word on the word wall. In addition, each day there are new sight word being introduced and anchor charts are being develop to help assist students in their writing. Sometimes during reading, students are able to see the words over the document camera as the book is being read aloud. Daily practice of reading letters and writing is essential in the learning process in kindergarten, each week students are given homework folders to take home for the week to practice saying the alphabet, reading sight words, and writing phrases. A daily schedule is composed of many literacy lessons throughout the day to help develop language, the foundation of

The academic study of the Hebrew Bible encompasses thousands of scholars from around the world. These scholars use various methods developed by other disciplines in order to study ancient texts along with other approaches that are distinctive to the biblical studies.

On September 11, 2001, roughly 3000 innocent people were killed in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia from a series of ruthless coordinated terrorist attacks which were carried out in the air. These attacks forever changed airport security measures throughout the United States and the World. The attacks resulted in the immediate creation of the Transportation Security Administration, which was stood up to increase airport security measure to prevent repeating such horrible acts on United States soil. Sixteen years later, the United States is a safer country and airport security has improved. With all the new technology rapidly being introduced, security officials are always trying to

As an elementary librarian, I currently have a Makerspace area in my library that is used throughout the week by kinder thru fifth grade students. It is located towards the side of the library next to the computers, and contains 2 small rectangular tables with 2 shelves that hold different Makerspace activities. Each activity or “Task Cards” is labeled with instructions of what that makerspace is and its task. It also contains the materials that will be used to build and explore that particular Makerspace. One of the Makerspace activities that I have is a “LEGO Marbel Maze”. To make a Lego marble maze all you need is a base board and lots of LEGO bricks. You first start by placing a border of bricks around the perimeter of the board, leaving two openings – this will be your entry and exit points for the
