...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...

...Problem & Exercise Chapter 8 3. A report is meant for reading and information, so if a report is not properly put together then these things can happen: * listed with no page numbers then they can be shuffled and get out of order * putting the headings of the columns on every page (if not it is information overload & you will lose you place) * having incorrect information/data * missing one of the who, what, when, or where (software error) * data errors The consequences to these errors are: * the wrong decisions can be made * the data can given or received can be wrong * the outputs are wrong If the analyst can notice most of the errors as he is working on them so that it may be corrected then this can help keep the project of the report going without too many complications. Prototyping is very helpful when working on reports because the analyst is able to structure and refine the report before it is viewed by the mass majority without the consequences of errors. 4. The date does not specify when the report was generated; it does not give a revision date or code for any prior report versions, does not provide any meaningful information, there is not any page number listed, the spacing of the report information does not seem to be in place.

...Abstract Kabir Das : Literature and Communication Literature is the mirror of society and it is the reflection of the age, which it belongs to. Literature of any age and era shows the prevalent trend of the period when it was created and connects at its best to that era. The uniqueness of the literature of Saint Kabir is that it transcends all boundaries and limitations of time and place. In spite of the fact that his literature belongs to the period of 15th century it is still relevant, remembered, quoted and discussed with passion and fervor not only among the connoisseurs of art and literature but also among common man and youth. This article is an attempt to throw light on the various dimensions of Kabir Das’s literature and how it is still effectively communicated and in turn is used for effective communication. This paper contemplates on the varied aspects of kabir’s literature. Kabir’s literature is known for elements of mysticism, spirituality, concept of love, his objectivity in imparting moral education, his attack on vices of human behavior, hypocrisy and materialistic attitude. All these aspects are dominantly reflected in his literary works and are still relevant in today’s social scenarios which are well communicated in the form of his well remembered ‘Dohas’ and poetry. Hence, it is concluded that Kabir’s literature, in spite of being so old and classical is timeless and well applicable and connected with today’s era. His ‘Dohas’ makes...

...PENGENALAN KERUNTUHAN AKHLAK MORAL Keruntuhan akhlak di kalangan belia remaja semakin menjadi-jadi di negara kita ini terutamanya belia remaja Islam Melayu.Seks bebas, mat rempit, pembuangan bayi, penagihan dadah dan sebagainya lagi cukup sinonim dengan anak-anak muda zaman sekarang bahkan remaja bawah umur juga seringkali dikaitkan bersama.Ianya terbukti di dada-dada akhbar yang sentiasa melaporkan berkaitan dengan isu belia remaja ini. Apabila masalah keruntuhan akhlak remaja ini dibincangkan secara umum, persoalan yang sering kali menimbulkan tanda tanya kepada seluruh individu yang terlibat ialah siapa yang harus dipersalahkan dan mengapa perkara ini berlaku?? Masalah gejala sosial timbul kerana longgarnya ikatan akidah Islamiah remaja Islam zaman sekarang. Kelonggaran ini berpunca daripada ketidakfahaman mereka terhadap hakikat akidah Islamiah atau tidak mempunyai kesedaran akan tuntutan akidah Islamiah dan keimanan yang tidak cukup kuat untuk menggerakkan mereka melakukan amal ma’ruf nahi mungkar. Adalah menjadi perkara biasa seseorang itu mempunyai perasaan ingin tahu dan ingin mencuba sesuatu perkara yang baru.Perasaan sebegitu sebenarnya adalah baik jika mengikut syariat, namun yang menjadi masalah apabila mereka tiada panduan daripada orang-orang yang sepatutnya seperti ibu bapa merupakan orang yang paling dekat dengan mereka. Jadi perasaan ini akan membuatkan mereka akan lakukan apa sahaja yang diinginkan tanpa memikirkan baik atau buruknya perkara tersebut. Boleh...

...needs, quality, and equality. One question about education that most students will be asking will be “How to increase the chance to have a degree?” This issue will not be a problem to those students who can afford the tuition fees in colleges or universities, however this may be a major issue to those students who are willing to learn but they cannot afford the tuition fees. Besides, the current situation of youths in Malaysia or other parts of the world is that they are ignorant, get involved in drug addiction, and also face poverty (indigenous). They are easily influenced by their peers or others because they look for excitement and also ways to kill boredom. Thus, they are addicted to drugs or involving themselves in gangs such as “Mat Rempit” to be in a gang and look for their identities. They feel a sense of closeness and belongingness getting around with people of their same interests. Moreover, talking about poverty in India, most of the people search and take things from the trashes and rubbishes to sell and earn their...
