Most children in preschool mock other children and they pick up everything that other children are doing and also what they have learned to speak. Parents always asked themselves can you teach a young child or children to manage to manage their own behavior. According to (McDavis,2007) you can teach them self-management to pay attention to the oneself behavior and also to complete activities using effective appropriate behavior.

...Reflective paper of Math 213 and Math 214 Patsy Castanon Math 214 April 27 Dwight Filley Reflective paper of Math 213 and Math 214 In an elementary level, a positive learning atmosphere in a school for young children is a composite of many things. It is an attitude that respects children. It is a place where children receive guidance and encouragement from the responsible adults around them. It is an environment where children can experiment and try out new ideas without fear or failure. It is an atmosphere that builds children’s self-confidence so they dare to take risks. It is an environment that nurtures a love of learning. In order to be a successful teacher, you need to understand that each child has different ways in which they learn better. I feel a teacher should have a variety of teaching techniques and mix all the different ways of teaching in their lesson plans to help fill the needs of each individual student. As a teacher, Math can be and is a very tough subject to learn. Teaching Math and making it fun to learn. Teaching children that mathematics is a language that we use every day to identify, investigate and describe every day challenges. We can describe different situations and events that we have to prepare for or events that have already occurred. Understanding the world we live in is best because mathematics is all around us. Mathematics consists of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, measurement, statistics, and probability. We have numbers, quantities...

...Young children in preschool learn the basic physical, cognitive, and emotional skills through scaffolding, the assistance required in order to finish a task. This is the building block to set the children off to a right start in order for them to be successful in elementary school. As children enter the middle childhood, many physical, cognitive, and emotional skills advance and develop from young childhood. Advances that elementary school children experience are literacy, cognitive, gender identification, and relationships. When children reach the age to start their school education, their vocabulary, grammar, and understanding of language grow substantially as they learn to read and develop pragmatics.

...which would allow the students to be in school during the months that are unsuitable for farming. Traditional education was kids learning from their grandparents, family, friends, and from the nature of the world. “Education was the product of an intimate relationship with the community and its environment.” (pg. 110) Also, they would learn from their personal experiences like how to recognize different strains of barley. The children would learn about the connection, process, and change in the natural world surrounding them through personal experiences as well. At young ages children were taught how to provide for themselves with clothing and shelter. Also, they were taught how to make shoes out of yak skin, robes out sheep wool, and build houses out of mud and stone. According to Norberg-Hodge this “gave children an intuitive awareness that allowed them, as they grew older, to use resources in an effective and suitable way.” (pg. 111) In the 1970s Western education came to the Ladakhi culture and completely changed their education system. The Western education did not provide any of the knowledge of traditional education to Ladkhi children. Actually the traditional Ladakh education system was looked down upon in the modern education. In the new modern education system “[c]hildren are trained to become specialists in a...

...1 Elementary Education COM/150 8 November 2009 2 Elementary Education School year 2007-2008, there were approximately 22,434 out of 450,000 students dropped out of high school a 5% dropout rate in the state of North Carolina (North Carolina Board of Education 2009). This rate was entirely too high and we as parents, teachers, educators, and a community need to work to combat this unacceptable rate. We have to start early to stress the importance of education to our children and go the extra mile(s) to assist them and instill in them that they can succeed no matter the odds. Education starts at elementary level; if it is not fostered at that level then graduating from high school is almost an impossible goal to attain. Lake Rim Elementary school is in Fayetteville, NC and was established in March 2000, the school has a student count of 661 students (North Carolina K-12 website 2009).

...Play Therapy in Elementary School CED 600: Introduction to Counseling Abstract Because the child's world is a world of action and activity, play therapy provides the psychologist in elementary-school settings with an opportunity to enter the child's world. In the play therapy relationship, toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language. Therefore, children play out their problems, experiences, concerns, and feelings in a manner that is similar to the process of talk therapy. This paper provides practical information about play therapy, a discussion of the skills needed by the psychologist/counselor, how to involve parents in the treatment process, and a review of play therapy research studies. Play Therapy in Elementary School An Overview of Play Therapy Play therapy is to children what talk therapy is to adults. Play is a child’s language, children express themselves best through their natural language—the language of play. Play therapy refers to a method of psychotherapy whereby the child’s natural means of expression, namely plays, is used as a therapeutic method to help him/her in coping with emotional stress or trauma. Therapist use a child's fantasies and the symbolic meanings of his or her play as a method for understanding and communication with the child. Play therapy is used to treat problems that are interfering with the child's normal development. Such difficulties would be extreme in degree and have been occurring for many months...

...help any teacher or administrator accomplish their lesson or school goals with the utmost efficiency. Motivation is what makes a person engage in an activity or uphold expected behaviors. Once an educator learns what motivates his or her students, everyone will benefit from the process. This paper will discuss a tentative motivational plan for Hinman Elementary School in Henderson, NV. In an elementary school setting, the children may have a hard time settling down to actually learn. The lack of student motivation in schools is a major concern for modern educators. Teachers and parents alike are trying to find the best ways to motivate their children to do well in school. Educational researchers have accepted four parts of motivation while studying student learning. They include: behavioral, humanistic, cognitive, and social aspects of motivation (Glynn, 2005). Because all children are somewhat different, it is important to find what each child would be motivated by. There are two main types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. Motivation to perform an activity for the benefit of oneself is mainly intrinsic, whereas motivation to perform it as a means to an end is mainly extrinsic (Glynn, 2005). Some children really want to do well for themselves and the way that it makes them feel. This is mostly because they are curious about a subject or have...

...remains unchanged, and also our styles of education are changing rapidly. In Japan, there are some elementary school students who learn to write Kanji with their own iPad. In the past few years, using digital tablets on elementary education was almost unimaginable but it seems that they have become accustomed to this new style of education and it has become increasingly common in Japan. However, most of the elementary schools in Japan are not ready for implementing iPad in the classroom. Someone may argue that there are various demerits of studying with digital tablets. Digital tablets kill children’s curiosity, motivation and opportunity to study. However, is this really so? The reality is that children can be super-productive with their iPad by improving children’s curiosity, motivation and opportunity to study....

...The study of child development has inspired many theories. Psychologists have tried to understand why there is a difference between a child’s level of intelligence, motivation, social skills, and mannerisms. The cognitive theory helps explain each step of a child’s development with different aspects of each. The study of development of children is important to help parents, teachers and caregivers’ insight in the different ways children grow and learn. Cognitive theory helps explain how senses, environment, and an individual’s brain effect how and what kind of personality develops and possibly predicting a future. If parents believe that intelligence can be strongly influenced by experience, they make special efforts to help them learn, if believed inborn and unchangeable, they are less likely to make any effort. Children have their own internal drives and needs as well as heredity endowments that influence development. The cognitive theory is only a stepladder and there may be different equations added in either direction but we are given a building block foundation. Cognitive theories emphasize the mental aspect of development like logic and memory and focus on Jean Piaget’s theory children are born with an inborn ability to adapt to their environment. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED Jean Piaget’s cognitive theory on child development and the stages at which a child processes information and the relevance to teachers and parents as to what a child can accomplish...

...appreciate other cultures and ways of life. Not only this, but it provides enormous wealth to their English. A secondary language should be taught as a mandatory subject starting in elementary, as it will be easy for a child to learn with their brain that’s like a sponge, it will help them mentally, and it will prepare them for the future when entering the work force. A young child's brain is like a sponge, they soak up and retain information that adults and older children don't retain. Learning a new language at that age is a snap, they barely have to think about it. It has also been shown that these children do better on other schoolwork, such as reading and math, which counters the argument that it was take attention away from other subjects. It is also not necessary to spend a bunch of class time on learning a new language, since in elementary school students spend all day with one or two teachers. The new language can be taught side by side, such as when learning the days of the week, the alphabet, and so on. Phrases in the foreign language can be used for simple commands like coming in from recess. Kids will not suddenly not be able to understand English, they will simply be supplementing it with another language. It's also helpful for developing respect and tolerance for other cultures, as they learn about the culture where the language comes from. Kids learn with fascination about new things, and are interested in the world around them Children who are taught...
