SOME HUMOR
THE ATHEIST AND THE BEAR
An Atheist was walking through the woods, admiring all the "accidents" that evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw the grizzly was closing in. Somehow, he ran faster, so scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run faster. He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but the bear was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried, "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving. As a bright light shined upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others that I don't exist and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The Atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these years, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?" "Very well" said the voice. The light went out. The river ran. The sounds of the forest resumed.... and then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed its head and spoke: "Lord, bless this food which I'm about to receive------.
We’re here to bring the powerful magic of books to your child. You’ll find a little theory and a lot of practice in our reading corner. Look for ideas from
Kindergarten is a time for children to expand their love of learning, their general knowledge, their ability to get along with others,
and their interest in reaching out to the world. While kindergarten marks an important transition from preschool to the primary grades, it is important that children still get to be children –
- getting kindergarteners ready for elementary school does not mean substituting academics for play time, forcing children to master first grade "skills," or relying on standardized tests to assess children's success.
Kindergarten "curriculum" actually includes such events as snack time, recess, and individual and group activities in addition to those activities we think of as traditionally educational
. Developmentally appropriate kindergarten classrooms encourage the growth of children's self-esteem, their cultural identities, their independence and their individual strengths.
Kindergarten children will continue to develop control of their own behavior through the guidance and support of warm, caring adults. At this stage, children are already eager to
learn and possess an innate curiosity. Teachers with a strong background in early childhood education and child development can best provide for children what they need to grow physically,
emotionally, and intellectually. Here are 10 signs of a good kindergarten classroom:Children are playing and working with materials or other children. They are not aimlessly wandering or forced to sit quietly for long periods of time. Children have access to various activities throughout the day, such as block building, pretend play, picture books, paints and other art materials, and table toys such as legos, pegboards, and puzzles. Children are not all doing the same things at the same time. Teachers work with individual children, small groups, and the whole group at different times during the day. They do not spend time only with the entire group. The classroom is decorated with children’s original artwork, their own writing with invented spelling, and dictated stories. Children learn numbers and the alphabet in the context of their everyday experiences. Exploring the natural world of plants and animals, cooking, taking attendance, and serving snack are all meaningful activities to children. Children work on projects and have long periods of time (at least one hour) to play and explore. Filling out worksheets should not be their primary activity. Children have an opportunity to play outside every day that weather permits. This play is never sacrificed for more instructional time. Teachers read books to children throughout the day, not just at group story time. Curriculum is adapted for those who are ahead as well as those who need additional help. Because children differ in experiences and background, they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way. Children and their parents look forward to school. Parents feel safe sending their child to kindergarten. Children are happy; they are not crying or regularly sick.
Individual kindergarten classrooms will vary, and curriculum will vary according to the interests and backgrounds of the children. But all developmentally appropriate kindergarten classrooms
will have one thing in common: the focus will be on the development of the child as a whole.
