...Early Childhood Education LEARNING CENTRES “HONEY BEES READING CENTRE” Introduction What are Learning Centres? The term Learning Centres refers to designated areas of the classroom where students congregate in small groups to accomplish given learning tasks. Typically, students can work independently in these centres, sometimes while the teacher works with a small reading group. Examples of learning centres may include: listening to audio cassettes, playing educational games on the computer, practicing handwriting, writing/editing written works, reading silently, playing imaginatively in the puppet centre, and playing math games with manipulatives. Student work in a given learning centre for a certain amount of time, then rotate to the next one when time is up. Teachers will need to spend a significant amount of time training students on how to behave during centre time, as well as modelling how to complete each of the learning centre activities. This will assure that learning centre time is productive, relatively quiet, and organized. AGE GROUP OF CENTRE AND THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN IN AGE GROUP Four and five year-olds are the age group for which the ‘Honey Bees Reading Centre’ is planned. Children in this age range display several characteristics which can be categorized as cognitive, physical, psychosocial and moral.

...November 2, 2009, was to correct a possible incursion of an incorrect or out-of-place front driver's side floor mat into the foot pedal well, which can cause pedal entrapment. The second recall, on January 21, 2010, was begun after some crashes were shown not to have been caused by floor mat incursion. In March 2010, at the time of the recall, Toyota was unsure of the cause behind a spate of cars that would speed up without the driver's help. Hybrid’s breaking systems: Prius owners have reported that brakes momentarily fail when driving in icy or slippery conditions, or over potholes. Normally the anti-lock braking system engages and disengages many times a second as the system reacts to the slipping tyres. But - as Toyota puts it - some drivers have complained of "inconsistent brake feel" during slow and steady braking on some surfaces when ABS is activated.The solution involves an upgrade of the software in the braking system, which should take less than an hour and will be carried out for free by official Toyota service centres. Toyota stresses that the cars are still safe to drive and the brakes will stop the car. US safety authorities, however, have said they have received reports of accidents, including a small number of reported injuries.There have been no reports of accidents in Europe. The Japanese auto giant recalled 2.17 million vehicles because of carpet and floor mat flaws that could jam gas pedals. Toyota has recalled more than 12 million vehicles...

...of my home. My home is a rental student apartment which is located on the 8th floor of Medical Plaza, the University of Utah. Although it is not my real home, I still want to call it “my home.” My apartment is small and crowded but comfortable. My apartment is a two-bedroom apartment, which means I have a roommate. My apartment has a very clean living room, a little kitchen and a small bathroom. First, as you walk into the apartment, the white wall and white ceiling make the apartment more bright and clean. Then you can see there is a large round wooden brown desk in the center of the room. There are five leather brown chairs around the desk. There is a very large French window which almost occupies the whole north wall. The brown floor mat also makes the room more comfortable and warm. When the night is coming, you can see the very good vista through the large window. I really like seating beside the desk and have a cup of coffee, and I enjoy the wonderful time. Although the living room is not big, it is comfortable and lovely. Secondly, I will introduce my little kitchen and bathroom. The little kitchen has a large white refrigerator that always has good food and a big oven and microwave oven. Over the oven, you can find there is a clean and whiter range hoods.

...Play is of an enormous importance in a young child’s life. Through play the child’s social and motor skills develop greatly. Three forms of social play have been identified as parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). The child starts out at a young age enjoying their play with themselves rather than people (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Toddlers then play house with their dolls and stuffed animals. When the child engages human peers instead of toy objects in play this is the start of social play (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Through this development comes aspect of parallel play. Here this child may play alongside a fellow peer, but they may be engaging in two completely different activities (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). Side by side the children play, observing each other and enjoying the fact that they are present with that peer, while not directly interacting with them. At two years of age a child with participate in parallel play (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Associative play proceeds parallel play starting at age three. The children play in groups with the same toys as their peers, but each child uses the materials in very different ways (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). When asking a child engaged in associative play to describe his activity, he often times describes a totally different activity then the other children (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 341). A major part of associative play is imitation. A younger...

...King Leonidus It was a warm August day in the year 480 B.C, when I went out to meet Xerxes' legion at Thermopylae. My force consisted of 7,000 Greek men, which was nothing at all compared to the 200,000 Persians that awaited us on our path. My Spartans and I marched on the front lines toward the fight hoping that we would spark the spirits of our Greek allies by knowing they had the battle-hardened Spartans leading them. As we marched into the pass, our eyes perceived the Persian immortals, these soldiers were Persia's exclusive fighting force and they feared nothing. They wore a type of formidable mask which was all white with obsidian indentations where their eyes were supposed to be. We formed a tenacious line with our spears pointed out in front of our shields and the rocky pass covering both of our sides. We sat there in our imperishable pack waiting for the immortals to start their advance, we knew if we broke our formation it would create an inadequate spot in our line which could be penetrated and eventually over ran by the immortals. Every man was ready for this day, our Spartans were bred for war, it's all they had ever known, and now they would get to show the true meaning of what it is to be a Spartan. The immortals grew impatient and started in a full sprint at our front lines, as they came closer I gave the order for my men to hold out their spears and stand their ground at all costs. The first wave of immortals were cut down by our lengthy spears without any...

...Tyler Faldet Extra Credit: Film Review Assignment Professor Debauche 11/12/2012 300 Review Over the weekend I happened to rent a few movies to watch with friends at my home back in Iola Wisconsin. I also had hopes that one of them would give me a lot of information, along with motivation, to write a review on using the different concepts that we have talked about in class. So way back in 2007 the American film 300, directed by Zack Snyder, and staring popular film stars such as Gerald Butler, and Lena Headey, brought millions and millions of mainly young and old men to the theaters. I personally remembered when it came out because everyone at school was talking about how amazing it was and quoting some of the lines from the film. And even with its popularity, I never did get the opportunity to watch the film, until this weekend. The General Plot of the movie is narrated by a Spartan soldier Dillios, who narrates the story from king leonidas's boy hood through the sacrifice of the 300 Greek Spartan soldiers, which sparked the war against the advancing Persian "immortals". Previous knowledge of the movie from what I had heard from others who had seen it was that it is a war movie based on a true Greek story many hundreds of years ago. Soon into the movie I realized it was completely different from what I had envisioned it would be in my mind going in. This difference was definitely for the better and my expectations were completely blown away. The whole style of...
