the Days of the Week Song, for the children to look at the repetition of word while singing. Another great way literacy was used in the UPK room was a book was read to the children then an art project was created to represent the literacy the children listened to. The cover of the book was hung up with the art project on the wall and numbers were even displayed on the wall to go along with the amount of food the hungry ate, for counting. Another similar item found in the classrooms was spanish and english words, they were written on the cabinets to let the children know what is behind them. What should have been included with this, is a picture to give a clearer idea of what the words actually means. In the UPK room the rugs did not have literacy like they did in the fist room of observation. In The Effie-Bennett Powe Center the rugs had Spanish and English on it. This is two different ways to show the use of different language for diversity. Shape …show more content…
Shelfs were labeled with what is inside of them along with children's cubbies. In the UPK room two classes take place in this room throughout the day. The younger class has a picture of the child with their name to help with literacy, while the other class does not because they have already learned their names. The two classes names are written on two different color paper. Another important literacy element found was a list of events that would take place in the children's day this was found in both the UPK room and the other center. A welcome sign was shown by the entrance to the classroom along with important information in bold large letters. Names of the teachers and their pictures are displayed, showing that literacy is found in names as well. Unlike The Effie-Bennett Powe Center the UPK classroom has a computer center for more literacy enrichment games. CDs are in the classroom that promote singing, using listening
Children are encouraged to communicate their needs, feelings and thoughts. They are given opportunities to choose and use reading materials.

For the purpose of observing a school environment, I was granted the opportunity to visit Marcy Open School, a K-8 Minneapolis Public School located in 415 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN. Like all magnet schools, Marcy Open School strives to achieve racial balance and incorporates specialized curricular themes to reach out to its scholars. In addition, the school website states the mission of the school is to,” Educate for life-long learning in a respectful environment that emphasizes responsibility, creativity, curiosity, and connectedness to the world”. To enhance students’ learning outcomes, Marcy Open School incorporates the following nine unique programs: Marcy Arts Partnership, a program that funds for arts-integrated programs and residencies for all children, regardless of race, religion, developmental level or socioeconomic status. Parents established the program in 1995 in an effort to connect students with the wider community and strengthen students’ education. Also, the school provides Path to Reading Excellence in School Sites (PRESS) a partnership between, target, the University of Minnesota, Reading Corps, and select Minneapolis schools (Marcy included), that focuses on teachers and students in grades K-3 and provides them Quality Core Instruction, Data-Based Decision Making, Tiered Interventions, and Professional Development. This program was designed because ample research proves that children’s’ ability to read by third grade determines their future
Literacy is a vital part of all later learning. Because of this, the children will engage in hands on activities that relates to what they have read and give them opportunities to make up their own versions, as well as make up their own stories. They will have a large group story time and a partner reading time. An ample variety of books will be available at all times. Signs with words and pictures will be posted around the classroom showing, daily activities, objects that are used daily, and the placement of toys and
They require a variety of supports, such as homework assistance, as they progress through the school curriculum. A large number of students in the classroom are Polish and they come from upper class families. The physical arrangement of the room is similar to a traditional classroom, but instead of single desks she uses rows to foster collaboration between students. For instance, the teacher has her desk to the right of the room with two steps of separation from the students. There are six rows in total containing three seats in each row. The space allows the teacher to walk freely throughout the classroom and give each student individualized attention. In addition, the general education teacher makes sure to label folders, books and testing material with student names. There are two additional assistant teachers in the classroom including myself. We provide assistance to the general education teacher on different days, but work collaboratively when

If you have beautiful area rugs spread throughout your home or workplace, you may have tried DIY area rug cleaning, or you hired someone to clean them only to find that you now have damage to your beautiful rug.
Students that want trigger warnings don’t want to be educated. Generation X wanting to sensitize their learning and education. This is harmful and dangerous. There has been a huge jump in this new craze of “trigger warnings” and how many students at colleges and universities want the classroom and main discussion to be that we don’t discuss and confront the uncomfortable. What is the point in sweeping it under the rug and not dealing with it? Not only is that unhealthy but it doesn’t help future students. If this is the way students want to carry on with their education then they don’t want to be educated. They are not ready for the real world, they don’t want to further their education.
Oriental rugs are hand-woven, intricately designed, colorful and have highly stylized designs. They are made of wool and delicate too and hence quite expensive. Most of the oriental rugs are passed on from generations down to the next generation. But this is possible only if you take appropriate steps to maintain them properly and use the appropriate Oriental Rug Cleaning Indianapolis methods.
The site I visited was Chattahoochee Elementary School in Duluth, Ga, there I had the opportunity to shadow a teacher in the Moderate/ASD program. Chattahoochee ES is an older, red brick building with a newer addition added to the top of the school. The wing where ESY is held was part of the new addition. It had tile floors, an exterior office, and six classrooms. Two of the six rooms are used as alert and calming areas, within these rooms there was adapted equipment, like a squeeze machine, listening station, and a trampoline. The classroom was divided into sections/areas, using gray partitions and study carols. Within these sections was a play area, individual task area, and reading area. There
Before he was fleeing for his life and being shot at by arrows, Ali was trying to sell the sultan one of his fake magic rugs. In the heat of the Arabian Desert, he had visited the sultan of the land. Because he was a sly con man, he had been trying to sell his so-called magic rugs. When ha had arrived, the guards, who knew something fishy was happening, had jumped up from their positions and yelled, “It’s a scam, King! Don’t do it, he just wants your money!”

Creating a literacy-rich environment is one of the key elements of supporting children’s literacy development. Literacy-rich classrooms tend to look quite different than the traditional classroom, covered in pre-made posters and arranged with individual desks in rows, and instead, allow for teachers to design their classrooms with their students’ needs in mind. According to an article on the Sadlier School’s blog, all elements in a classroom must be meaningful, intentional, purposeful, and engaging when creating a literacy-rich classroom. This means that classroom design is created in a way that it provides frequent opportunities to be exposed to text via environmental print, instruction, and hands-on learning as well as encouraging communication and collaboration (Sadlier School, 2017).
