...A Duel with your Dog: How to Win the Sit-Stay Fight! Let’s assume that your cute little furry friend has already mastered the Heel with an automatic Sit. You are proud of this accomplishment, as you venture into town with a dog that no longer drags you down the street. On your walk you run into a friend, and as you stop to chat, your dog obediently sits at your side. As one minute turns into two, your sense of pride immediately deflates as your dog gets up, winding the leash around both sets of legs. “Sit!” you demand, and your dog complies, but just as quickly pops up to show her impatience at the delay. Getting your dog to sit is all well and good, but quite simply is not enough! Your dog needs to be taught to not only sit on command, but to stay, and not move until you say it’s okay. Although you may feel this is beyond your reach, to win this battle is relatively easy. Requiring just a little bit of patience, the “sit-stay” commands are invaluable skills of all well-mannered, contented, and safe dogs.

...Kindergarten, which is where I come in. Although I do not have a concrete teaching philosophy I think I am leaning towards student-centered and progressivism. I think that teachers and students should work together to create learning experiences and opportunities. Progressive education is a form of education advocated by John Dewey in the early twentieth century. The basic idea of this philosophy is that students learn through experience, rather than through memorization. “Dewey believed that students, facing and ever-changing world, should master this scientific method: (1) Become aware of a problem; (2) define it; (3) propose various hypotheses to solve it; (4) examine the consequences of each hypotheses in the light of previous experience; and (5) test the most likely solution.” (Sadker, Milller, D., PhD., Zittleman, K., R., Phd., 2010) This method is important to learn because it can be used in so many different areas throughout our lives. I think group activities are important because it teaches children...

...The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The phrase shown in metal moveable type, used in printing presses (image reversed for readability) "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram—a phrase that contains all of the letters of the alphabet. It is commonly used for touch-typing practice. It is also used to test typewriters and computer keyboards, show fonts, and other applications involving all of the letters in the English alphabet. Owing to its brevity and coherence, it has become widely known. Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Computer usage 3 Cultural references 4 See also 5 References History[edit] The earliest known appearance of the phrase is from The Michigan School Moderator, a journal that provided many teachers with education-related news and suggestions for lessons.[1] In an article titled "Interesting Notes" in the March 14, 1885 issue, the phrase is given as a suggestion for writing practice: "The following sentence makes a good copy for practice, as it contains every letter of the alphabet: 'A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'"[2] Note that the phrase in this case begins with the word "A" rather than "The". Several other early sources also use this variation. As the use of typewriters grew in the late 19th century, the phrase began appearing in typing and stenography lesson books as a practice sentence. Early examples of publications which used the phrase include Illustrative...

...Breed Specific Legislation: The Flawed System By: Dogs have been considered a man’s best friend for decades and the numbers to prove this do not lie, 59.5% of American households have a pet dog (Weise, 2001). With this data in hand, would it be fair to say America loves its furry four legged friends? Somewhat. A topic that is picking up steam in America is Breed Specific Legislation (BSL), and it is starting to create unnecessary controversy. Attempting to remove specific breeds from entire communities based on fear, is unjust. We as a country need to start looking deeper into this issue and decide who the real culprit is: the animal or the owner. BSL is defined as a group of laws passed that regulate a certain breed’s ability to reside in a community. The breed catching the most heat currently is the pit bull. One of the issues with this is defining what a pit bull is. There are so many variances on what characteristics define these dogs. It has come down to any dog with a big head and a broad shoulder is in fact a pit bull. They are all profiled as aggressive, unpredictable, malicious animals. But, upon researching the history of these dogs in our country, you will find quite the opposite. They are of English decent, brought here by English immigrants. They were originally bred from Bulldogs and used as hunting dogs. In the early 1900’s, they were most known for being multi-purpose family dogs, with a reputation of protecting their family’s children (Kendrick, 2012)...

...effective approach. Writing requires careful scrutiny of the sound and sequence in order to write words correctly and it is this cognitive process that enables the child to become proficient in the phonetic analysis skills that are the foundation of the reading process. This guide will include principles of effective instruction and some teaching strategies used to address the needs of students with EBD. At times it will refer to principles governing behavior that impact the outcomes of instruction. It will include some instructional lessons for teaching primary reading and writing, the steps to achieve the objectives and assessment procedures to insure the efficacy of interventions. Since there hasn’t been many scientifically based studies of EBD specific to these subjects (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow, & Shriner, 2009), the guide will show how a task analysis can be used to design an effective lesson. Teaching children with EBD is compounded by the fact that their behavior problems are often caused by social and academic failure (Kauffman, 2005). Therefore, part of the instructional plan must be to eliminate the behavioral problems and substitute replacement behaviors while teaching the student the necessary academic skills. So the principles that guide effective instruction and strategies that support it must be considered. The 8 Principles that Guide Effective Instruction for EBD students...

...Naturalism in The Call of the Wild Jack London was born on January 12, 1876 to a working class family. He had to deal with a hard life from a very young age, but his constant struggling got him through most of the difficulties and by the age of 30, he was internationally famous for his books Call of the Wild (1903), The Sea Wolf (1904) and other successful literay works. Though he wrote passionately about the great questions of life and death and the struggle to survive with dignity and integrity, he also sought peace and quiet inspiration. He wished society to be reformed that he expressed through his writings. His stories of high adventure were based on his own experiences at sea, in the Yukon Territory, and in the fields and factories of California. Similar to a number of writers at that time, he died young, at the age of 40, impoverished (again), sick and suffering from alcoholism. To this day it is still unclear if he the cause of death was accidental morphine overdose or he commited suicide. He as well was a fairly controversial person, so that different authors look at him in various ways: ”The basic law of his thinking was logic. His literary style was the clear, obvious and unmistakable sentences of the beautiful English language. ’The Call of the Wild’ serves as the reference book of English stylistics on Sorbonne. He was the man of facts: not to be afraid of looking inside of the eyes of reality, a great view of life. But Jack London's inner debates did...

...Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Molly’s mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg. A few years ago, Molly, a pony, was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Molly’s legs and left large gashes in her face. Molly’s owner, Kaye Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Veterinarians there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected. The only way to save her life was to amputate, or remove, the infected leg. At first, veterinarians thought Molly would have to be euthanized (YOO-thin-sized), or put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live. Several veterinarians operated on Molly, and amputated her infected leg. A false leg, called...

...cholesterol levels, better psychological health, lower heart attack rates, higher survival rates, enhanced self-esteem and social interaction. So as people take care of their companion animals, the animals are in turn taking care of their owners. Dog owners would tell you how their best friend would snuggle up close to them for comfort and follow them everywhere and know well their routines such as feeding time and the time when their owners return from work. Experts say that pets are very therapeutic and can even prolong the lives of a human being, especially elderly or these widowed and living alone. Among the several emotional and physical benefits of owning a pet, these animals can form very close bonds with their human owners and in fact dogs are even known as men's best friend. Primarily, owning a pet serves as a wonderful way to rediscover a sense of purpose. It helps people feel needed and wanted. After all, most people can’t help but smile when their dog greets them with their tail wagging or their cat curls up cozily on their lap. Providing for an animal’s needs by going to the pet store or taking a dog for a walk helps reduce seniors’ social isolation by encouraging them to get out into the world. They may meet new friends at a dog park or at the pet store when they go to buy more...
