Ragged School Museum

When the opportunity to attend the local Peteetneet Schoolhouse Museum transpired, many historical facts would be discovered. Upon arrival the large two story stone building resembled something from a pioneer movie. The museum guide quickly came to escort myself through the exhibit and shared her mass amount of information. The historical building housed the information of local Mormon settlers and the steady cultural clash between the Ute, Paiute and Navajo Indians. Along with interesting information and artifacts, the museum brought to life the struggles of early settler’s.

The Scarborough Museum is an educational place to visit in Toronto. People can learn about the history of Canadian families living in Canada during the early 1900’s and how they survived throughout the seasons. The Scarborough Museum is situated on a piece of land that once belonged to the Thomson Family. It has houses that had come from other parts of Scarborough. One of the house being the Cornell house. The Cornell house is Victorian style house built in 1858. It has a kitchen, an upper floor, which had bedrooms, a dining area, and a parlor room. In the kitchen, there is a stove which has multiple purposes; for cooking food and for keeping the house warm during the winter time. Learning about the stove was interesting because it shows

When we ask the children to share their ideas orally using solid objects (teddies or animals), the teacher will be able to define their ideas and strategies. In addition, the children will have the opportunity to be involved in their learning process as part of their sense of agency.

This document breaks down some of the financial information that was accessible for the Clyfford Still Museum. Much of this information was gathered during an interview conducted at the beginning of the year for another assignment, however it was incredibly applicable here for this assignment as well. This document also briefly touches on the museum expenses as well as its attempt at and donation solicitation.

Founded in 1965, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History showcases the world's largest permanent exhibit on African American culture. My visits there are always educational and profoundly moving. The museum has an incredible perspective on the past and the present journey of African Americans. At the same time, it takes us on a comprehensive journey of the African American contribution to the world. Today, I will take us on that journey and paint a vivid image of Charles H. Wright Museum.

Have you ever heard of the St.Louis Children's Museum? It is awesome and plus you will never see anything like it. It is a big climbing area made out of recycled metal scraps, a plane on top and everything you could wish for as a 10 year old kid. I mean when you were 10 tell me you didn't want to climb on everything you saw and you could do exactly that at the St.Louis Children's Museum! It was heaven! So my brother who was 6 and I went off to the races.

For chapter 1 I think a proper title would be “A Museum” because the chapter is when Gene goes back to Devon in 15 years and he calls it “a museum”. Gene walks around the school and it reminds him of his time there and everything that happened. When he gets to the tree he has a flashback about one night when they jumped from the tree into the river. The flashback and places he sees and visits reminds him of the past like a museum that reminds us of the past through artifacts. Therefore, I think the title “A Museum” would be a proper title for Chapter 1.

When I was younger, I thought museums were boring and dull, filled with pointless, nonsensical art work that people just pretended to understand what the artists were thinking. I thought people interpreted imaginary meanings from the art that other people just followed and accepted because it was the “cool” thing to do. This is one of the main reasons I avoided going to museums that were art based. Once I got the opportunity to visit an art-based museum for myself, I actually enjoyed it. I began to build my admiration and appreciation of art from then on. I have had the opportunity to visit many museums but this was the first time I visited The Museum of Modern Art. I always saw MoMA related things around New York City but was never able to

We planned to visit Mill City museum after a friend recommended that we check it from the Minnesota Historical site. The museum is the most important and historical place where anyone who wants to know more about the Minnesota people. The museum contained historical articles and information. A lot of stuff was available including plant species and human origin. We later made our way to the science museum where displays of evolution. The main building of the Museum has its entire floor with colorful animated dioramas that display their traditional costumes of Minnesota people. On reaching the museum, we were met with a tour guide who took us through the place and described everything that we wanted to know about the Minnesota.

Another way to assess the development is to discuss or ask questions. Teachers can talk about class activities such as story telling in order to explore the child's thought process. Mcaffe & Leong (2011) continue to discuss one of the last ways is for teachers to speak with other adults for information. Getting insight from others to include former teachers or other parents will help the current teachers get a deeper understanding of the child's needs. These tools can be used in order to gather specific data on children and get accurate results. These results can help teachers bridge the gap with students

I like my project about the Art Museum a lot, because it is the first time I go to a museum and I can appreciate the artwork. I have never noticed the colors, lines, shapes, etc. every time I went to a museum, I was bored and I always tried to see all as fast as I could, but this time was different. I took my time to observe every piece of art and actually appreciate it. I think that being an artist is also a hard work, not all people have the ability to relate colors, shapes and textures and not all people have that tremendous imagination to see through the paintings or

In terms of education, talk can be defined as everyday uses of spoken language and it refers to the act of both speaking and listening (Bearne, 1998). (Mercer, 1995)categorised talk in three ways; cumulative, disputational and exploratory. Cumulative talk is when pupils work together in pairs to gain a shared knowledge about a subject, disputational talk is mostly short controversial utterances in the form of a debate and exploratory helps people work together by using each other’s ideas critically. Mercer’s three categories of talk are examples of the types of talk that can be found in the classroom environment. This essay will consider will examine the importance of the talk in the classroom and the challenges of it, with specific reference to storytelling.

During this time, I would get to walk around and observe the children play while I helped the staff. Each exhibit has a poster that explains how the exhibit helps foster learning in the areas of role play, social sills, math, science, language arts and history. This chart is a useful tool of how each exhibit could help be a transference of skills for teachers. While the children are busy exploring and creating a world of imagination, they are actually learning skills that will be of much use later in life and developing higher cognitive functions. They are enhancing abilities, moving through social stages and learning new transferrable skills (Bodrova & Leong, 2015). The teacher could find a way to connect the fun they had while at play with a concept they are learning in the classroom. The play would be a memorable concept that they learned first-hand, even if they do not realize it during the process (Slavin,

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.

But why show and tell? Because it is “A chance for children to think ‘out of the box’ a little and invite their teacher and classmates to come into their own little World for several minutes”. Students come up for several minutes but these minutes do much for him. From 3 main sides, they are pedagogical; metacognitive and self- regulated learning. First of all the pedagogical side. As Luca Onnis showed in his article that some students “... adopt the memory strategy depend on their memorizing ability” adding that “Adopting this strategy will allow the learning and retrieval via sounds (e.g., rhyming), images (e.g., a mental picture of the word itself or the meaning of the word), a combination of sounds and images (e.g., the keyword method), body movement (e.g., total physical response), mechanical means (e.g., flashcards), or location” while through this activity students will have the chance to do all of these practices together in which they will prepare a list of new vocabulary and they need to put an effort to be prepared along with the toys they want or the pictures or the costumes which help reflecting their thoughts and their own world. While a research done by Education equip showed that this activity improves the relationship between the students because students will be more engaging when one of their classmates is taking better than when their teacher is taking. Which is confirmed by Pui Ching who participated in ‘show and tell’ experience for two years to address the changes he see on his students saying that ‘that this would build their listening and speaking skills. And I’m quoting some of the changes that he realized “ Children have become more confident of speaking English in front of their classmates, they did not always have the language, but they tried their best to express themselves, they made an effort to understand what their
