On Tuesday, November 15th, 2016, my partner, Brendan D. attended our service learning project at Fulton preschool. The students did not talk considerably considering practically strangers where standing before them. Mrs. McDaniel had told me the students had been learning about shapes, weather, including reciting the alphabet recently. To expand on their knowledge on what they had been taught we thought it was a marvelous idea to incorporate those concepts with our lesson. Warm up began with everyone sitting in an circle including a bowl full of water was placed in the middle. Brendan explained a ripple, how they work, what causes them, etc. We asked the students if they had ever seen a ripple before, all of the kids did not talk, though one student …show more content…
Originally we planned to do different movements instead we decided to have the children come up with their own movement and become whatever kind of bug they needed to be. This was absolutely gladdening to watch and we had a mass of bumble bee’s squirming around the room. I lead the next activity, we created a wave with our bodies. This was similar to the wave seen in a baseball game, except in a line. This activity was not a excellent idea and the students did not understand when it was their turn when being pointed at. If we could change one element about this activity I would have used ribbons or brought in a object that demonstrates a wave. At the end we brought back our bowl concept, the children loved this so much we figured to continue with it for the next lesson. After each student had a turn, we asked them what they could do to be a nicer person furthermore how they could create a ripple in someone else’s life. My favorite quote was when, Emily said, “hug my friend”,in fact, she turned around then hugged her friend with open arms and a enormous grin. This experience was unlike what I imagined it would have been, but it was
World War One was a time of death, destruction and was in general a conflict of monumental proportions. However, as the cliché goes, there is a silver lining to every storm cloud. In the case of the Great War, the silver lining refers to the great leaps forward made in women's empowerment and involvement in society because of the advent of the war, which forced them into positions previously never considered by either gender. World War One provided women with the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to a male-dominated society that females were there for more than simply domestic chores, and this proved to be beneficial for both women and men alike. Women became involved in the army on the frontlines, were nurses and medical aids, played
A successful government is one that takes care of their citizens and makes the most positive change in the environment. Unfortunately, these terms were failed to be met by the government when it came down to Flint, Michigan. Citizens were given a vile taste of a selfish government that brought their city to a tumbling fall.
This was in contrast with our previous experience where the shaker part was very disorganized and chaotic. Next, the kids were rhythmically shaking their plastic eggs filled with sand while singing the song: “Shake, Shake the Mango Tree”. Some parents took pictures of their kids. The group ended with blowing bubbles activity. Toseland and Rivas (2012), stressed that “it is particularly important for the worker to pay attention to the nonverbal messages that are communicated by members” (p. 71), and during this activity, the facilitator immediately noticed that some children became impatient and explained briefly to them that they needed to take turns in catching
In the group of preschoolers playing the "Ants in the Pants" game, Mrs. G. walked over and tried to get a few of the plastic ants into the plastic blue pants. She encouraged the children to try shooting the ants into the pants and gave them positive words if they missed. The female student interacted and played with the other children. All of the children worked well with each other and also took heed to the teacher's prompts to try again if an ant did not land in the pants. I could see that they were learning how to cooperate and share
I’ve been thinking about how I might grow Ben and Michel’s collaboration, and how I can use their work to other children to think creatively. Making an island using feather was really good imagination. Next time I will provide more playdough so they can make enough people. Also I want to add other symbols stamps that are not familiar to children. Therefore, children can explore and shape the playdough together. Michel and Ben’s work on the table push myself to create more opportunities for collaboration and co-operation.
It’s about the only thing I can remember, also it’s about a dog who starts a hard life/journey as a mail carrier.
Death is not a wonderful event, as it brings a time of grieving. Death is an end to many organic lives, though it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but that does not mean life is insignificant. To Susan Wolf she believes that the meaning of life is the fulfillment in one’s life and Thomas Nagel’s view on death is that it is bad because a person loses their opportunities of the wonderful things in life.
Risk factors with an individual or family are all linked through the ripple effect such as, level of income, housing, level of education, employment status, drug and alcohol abuse, just to name a few. There are the individual factors, relationship factors, community factors, societal factors and protective factors. These factors include but not limited too; intimate partner violence, community violence, which includes the young and the old, and suicide. In child abuse there is the physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, exploitation resulting in the child's health and survival psychologically and the ability to trust. The knowledge of the power these factors have can prevent and encourage public health and prevent child abuse
I believe turmoil can come from a way the way that is described in the question but I think in a different way. I do believe one person's sins can cause trouble but only to those who are involved with that person. Often times a whole group of people go into troubles from a person they are all around or who may have been with them when this sin was committed. After that happens there is a rippling effect that starts to occur within everyone else. That is when everyone becomes involved in hardships. For example, someone can commit a murder and a few others can help, once they are caught then the whole group of people are in trouble for one person's sin. Once that happens the ripple effect takes place and now the whole town is worried and may
Every semester we roughly have two trainings where all the volunteers come together to hear a speaker from a local organization come and talk to us, then after we do a small debrief. On November 10th our speaker was representing a child care organization (cannot remember organization name). She started off her presentation speaking about a child’s brain and its different areas. To make it more engaging and fun she had us color these sections of the brain with different colors. After that she did a children reading demonstration, where we were going to be the audience. I want to note that before she began reading she asked us to think and act as a 3-5 year old. When she was reading to us she would ask us questions and we would then easily answer
For this activity you will need a couple of large sponges. Have your students lay down on their backs head to toe with one another in a line with three of four other students. Then, give the student at the front of the line a sponge filled with water. Have your students try their best to use only their feet to pass the sponge to their friends.
The first day of Service Learning at Weil Elementary School in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, over all, went very well. I am in a group of four students and when we got there we were assigned to two classrooms in pairs. My partner, Shannon, and I get to work with with first grade students and we will be in the same classroom every week. When we walked into the classroom I found that the kids responded very well to us being there due to the excitement on their faces. I could also tell, right away, that the students have a lot of respect for their teacher, because when she disciplined them they listened to her immediately. Having not spent much time with first grade students, I was slightly taken back by the amount of energy the students had
Change is a gradual process; to have a lasting effect, it requires the efforts of many individuals. As Mother Teresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.” Every person on earth holds the power to create waves in the pond of life, if they are given the motivation to do so.
Another way to engage students would be to have video chats or have a live session with the instructor, like we did in this class. Although I could not make the second one (I just forgot), the first one was very information and gave me clarity on what I need to do.
One of the lessons I observed was the music and movement activity. Nine of the students were involved in this activity. The other child was playing with the puzzles. The teacher was engaged
