She sat at the long lunchroom table with her entire kindergarten class. There are 18 other students in her class of mixed races. This school is located in the south side of Federal Way. All of the students were able to interact with each other freely during the lunch/recess hour. When the entire class was done eating, the teacher called them to go outside to recess, as a group.
I spotted my kitchen set in the next room. I wanted to play with it too. My mom was in the kitchen baking something that smelled much more appealing than reading. She must have been looking at me through the pass-through window, as she caught me in my daydream and reminded me that I was supposed to be reading my book. The cat ran away from the man.
Students will demonstrate one-to-one correspondence by making their very own fruit salad by following the fruit salad recipe. The first activity the class will do is the teacher will read aloud The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Before reading the story, the teacher will instruct the students to listen for numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. When the students here these numbers they must say and hold up how many fingers that number is. As the teacher reads the story, she will point out the pattern of one more fruit each day.
Although I have probably been raised with more of a negative reinforcement, I tend to use positive reinforcement. Another example is, my sister doesn’t like to go to school so she skips a lot…well to get her to go and get excited about it, whenever she does go I fist pump her. She smiles really big and says thanks. This week she has not missed one day. I think the best example of positive reinforcement that I have used was when I was trying to get my little cousin to grow up and stop acting like a baby.
(Most) parents take great care in what these sprouting sponges soak up, so they watch their children’s favorite shows with a hawk eye; however, the gaps in between the show fall through the cracks of inspection. When the scope of your interest are widened, curious motifs appear in these “children commercials.” Although gender roles are promoted in most girl commercials, telling them to aspire to be wives, mothers, and homemakers, what is more disturbing is the constant theme of violence in commercials targeted towards boys aged 5-15.take for instance the Blasterpro commercial, like most Supersoaker commercials that plague cartoon network, is more similar to a scene from Bourne Identity than a toy commercial. It is a barrage of cut scenes showing kids getting blasted off their feet while metal guitar solos are going off in the background. While older adult commercials (especially during a football game or UFC event) can be violent, it is the frequency at which they happen on kids cannels, that raises concern. These commercials beg important questions about why this is the chosen strategy towards young boys.
A girl could like boy toys more, where a boy could like girl toys. This is a never ending cycle but it does raise worry on parents when they see that their child wants to play with something like a toy gun that pops smoke or a tow sword which promotes only aggression and violence. Whereas girl toys in commercials show Ponies, barbies or jewelry making. These show skills on how to share and gain a social behavior skills. But for boys they have commercials of hot rods on a track which crash, or bad guys being tossed into a Lego prison.
A Little Princess (1995) Part 1 The film A Little Princess (ALP) is a children’s story that also highlights social issues of Britain in the World War I time period. A child, watching this film, would be intrigued by the animated mind of the main character (Sara) and her vivid imagination.

The children were always happy and safe with me. During snack time she would come into the room criticize my choice of snack, make comments to the children about things they needed to do or not do, which she made sure I heard because they were really meant for me. How could all of this be happening in a respected school run by professional women? Many women are bullied in the work place
Children’s likes and dislikes are defined on MTV and BET. Children see how they should dress and how they should physically look by watching television and reading magazines like Cosmopolitan and Rolling Stone. Some children are more vulnerable to these messages than others. Children who are insecure about themselves or eager to please others are most likely to fall in to this horrible craze of being “thin and beautiful”. Children are bombarded with images and messages that reinforce the idea that thin is happy and successful.
It was easy to teach, it fitted the overriding style of teaching with which they were familiar, it helped students strengthen their memory and it was used across many generations. (Ryan, 1997, p. 29-33) The question and answer format catechism was fairly easy to teach as usually it was the source of their own religious instruction. Also, as it was simply ‘questions and answers’ it did not require any further explanation. Everything that needed to be learnt was printed on the page. Teachers were not required to be ‘skilled instructors’ and the method of teaching was rather obvious and uncomplicated.
