School 's Out For The Night, And The Day Care Program

My observations both did and did not reflect what I learned in this course. This could be due to the fact that this daycare center may not be the best learning environment. A perfect daycare center would be everything that is described in the Petersen & Wittmer text, but how often do you get somewhere that is perfect? I feel my quality could have been better for this observation because I filled out of checklist with a majority of it is “NA.” I wish I would have had this checklist when I started my observations. I could have tested some of them with the children to make it more accurate. Since I do work at this daycare, I used my background knowledge as well as my observation sheets to fill out this checklist. My observations could have been

During Christmas Jeannette’s father Rex would give his kids stars as a present. Jeannette describes Rex as an intelligent, loving and smart father that she admired a lot. The term father reflected Jeannette’s overall admiration for her father because her father is brave enough to face the cold. As the author quotes, ‘the cold never bothered him” (39). In other words, Rex Walls has the potential to make Jeannette feel special. Specifically, Jeannette describes her father in a very simple way that explains the entry experience and structure of the story. In the book Jeannette repeats that “Dad said” several

The ideal family has a father and mother with children living in a home full of happiness. That may be true in a movie but the reality is not every child has both of their parents. The number of incarcerated parents has been rising for years now, so why have teachers brainwashed themselves along with the students, that if you don’t have a father and mother, it is not normal. In the story, The Night Dad Went to Jail by Melissa Higgins, a young rabbit named Sketch, takes the reader through his experiences that happen during and after his father is arrested. Higgins acknowledges that many child are in the same position as Sketch and wants children do know there are books that relation to them. Some parents may have an issue with a child

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon both tell the stories of disabled protagonists in their adolescence. These ailments cause Marie Laure LeBlanc and Christopher Boone’s lifestyles to be heavily reliant on others, prompting the growth of relationships between protagonists and those around them. Though credit for the children's development can be argued as shared between many characters, it is demonstrated that the relationship between father and child is the most vital. We explore the union of a strong interrelation between child and father, and how it directly impacts the identity, growth and character of Marie Laure and Christopher. Daniel LeBlanc and Ed Boone are the most significant links in the greater development of their children.

Miss Dickerson was at the will of her kids. Twenty ten year olds made up her class, twelve girls and eight boys. Each kid more curious than the last, though none more curious than Miss Dickerson herself. Mrs. Dickerson had thought her daughter would merely end up a spinster, only for her to finally find love and lose it, marked a widow for life. That’s when Miss Dickerson decided to teach.

Nathan Etter, a music teacher at Prairie View Grade School location in Burlington, Illinois, received flowers from his husband, Philip Etter, on Valentine’s Day. The teachers’ students asked who the flowers were from and Nathan honestly answered, stating they were from his husband. Several students reacted with negative comments, for example, eww and gross. Nathan used this situation as a teachable moment, where he explained that individuals should be respectful of other individuals’ choices and that several families have two moms or two dads. Unfortunately, one student’s parents contacted the school regarding the situation, stating they had some serious concerns. After the family spoke with the principal, they were reassured Nathan wasn’t

Unbeknownst to them, Rachel’s mom had found a copy of the film and had shown it to Greg’s mom. The two women were so touched by what Greg and Earl had done that they decided everyone should get the chance to see the film. Without telling the boys, the Principal arranged for a special screening of “Rachel the Film” for the entire school. This was a nightmare for Greg, who never wanted to share any of their films with anyone. Most of the students thought that Greg and Earl’s film was weird, but Rachel told them that she enjoyed it.

Carl loved his dad very much and it was painful seeing the chair in living room where his dad had sat holding him, many times as he was growing up reading Bible story. Donald sometimes didn’t always have a lot of time for his son, but he always spent quality time with Carl when he had every opportunity. Ruth was helping family friend prepare another platter of sandwiches for guests. Everyone knew that Ruth wasn’t the type to be waited on and she took pleasure in serving and caring for those who had come to pay their respects to her husband. She never knew there were so many who cared. There were many there, especially friends. She never in her life had imagined that Donald had relationship with so many people. Many she never knew or met before. Over in corner, sat the younger woman, quietly she sipped on her tea. Ruth watched her from the kitchen and thought she looked lonely there. Carl walked into the kitchen, headed over to coffee pot to pour him another cup of coffee. “Carl,” Ruth spoke as she handed Carl the sugar, “Do you see the woman sitting near your dad’s chair?” Carl looked up, while stirring his coffee. “Yes, mom, I do. Why?” Carl asked. “No one is talking to her and she sits there alone. I feel sad for her. Do you know who she is?” Ruth asked. “No, mamma I sure don’t. Never saw her before. Do you want me to talk to her?” Carl asked as he walked toward living room. “No, maybe you better not, I’m just trying to place who she is. I feel like I know her, but can’t place where,” Ruth said as she smiled to her son. “Ok, mamma, you really should relax and let others take care of everything,” Carl said. “Here’s a sandwich, now get outta here,” Ruth laughed as she carried another tray out to the table in living

An event from one’s past can haunt someone for his entire life. In the play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, Paul Zindel presents Beatrice, the unpleasant mother of Ruth and Tillie, and gives insight into a parent-child relationship full of complications and conflicts. From verbally abusing and mistreating her children, Beatrice causes her children to feel inferior and alone. Due to experiencing an unconventional childhood, Beatrice has no knowledge of what a parent should be. As a result, Ruth and Tillie often feel the need to overcompensate in order to be noticed by their mother, and they feel as if their mother is distant and not relatable.

Although something changed in Ron’s life, he appeared suddenly, accompanied by a much closer acquaintance, finding love and a wedding planned, a fake wedding, of course, since gay marriage was not legal. The wedding arrangement projected within a private house. A heart that craved a parents acceptance and love, describes Ron, the day he, accompanied by his mate home to present his friend to father. Carried through with great attention in order for the presentation to function smoothly. Together they organized a short casual introduction whereupon his mate is a friend. Watching over this introduction I could see father already sensed what was up, giving off a short glance, removing himself from the county style oak kitchen table, exiting off to the bedroom. Honestly, the sensation to laugh is hard to

Both husbands, Jay and Phil, work outside the home, are the sole contributors of support and maintain their dominant role as the family provider. These behaviors reflect the traditional dominant beliefs that our culture shares about the traditional old-fashioned role of the mother and the father. The third family, a homosexual couple and an adopted daughter have don’t have a traditional history and the writers flip flop the gender roles of the 2 male partners from mom to dad and back again.

Isabel’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, fit the perfect mother and father stereotypical role. Her father is described as someone who stares at light fixtures and loses parking tickets. While Mrs. Rogers is explained as someone who says things she probably shouldn’t say. The mother and the father of the story juxtapose each other to show how their personalities contrast. While the mother is mean-spirited, the father is utterly oblivious to everything. The mother makes petty remarks to Isabel about her chest, while the father stares horizontally at the word. While they both seemed to be extremely different, they are very similar in a way that they are both able to make Isabel frustrated. When Isabel sees the parents in the “elegantly suited and scented audience” she becomes completely embarrassed that they are acting so abnormal. This creates the base of Isabel’s underlying problem and adds comedic effect to the story. From the stereotypical parents, dramatic irony occurs

In this media clip presented by Honey Maid the focus is surrounding a family of four consisting of two parents, two children, and one dog. The two parents discuss their lives as to where and how they met which was situated in a grocery store. They also confer about the process of obtaining their two sons. Their eldest son talks about his favourite memories with his parents and demonstrates how their family is very similar to other families. Throughout the clip, the household is shown doing activities that a typical family would do for example making s’mores and going on a walk with their dog. The neat aspect of the family is that they are considered to be what is known as a queer family. This is the fact because they are male same-sex parents. Their oldest child also discloses that he calls his two fathers by different labels. His “dad” is considered to be the more serious parental figure and his “papa” is regarded as the more lighthearted and funny father figure. The clip finalizes by conversing how meaningful
