A Touching Story





A four year old boy in my daycare was painting index cards during free play, and I asked him, what he was making.” The little boy replied, “I am making purple box” I said “oh how nice” The child continued to paint. He said, “I am making a birthday present for my mother” I replied again how nice. Later, that afternoon when we had free play again the child finished the box. I asked “is it ready he said “no, I have to wrap it, but I don’t have any wrapping paper.” I helped glue the purple index cards together to make the box, and helped him cover the bottom with construction paper. “I asked him was he going to put in the box, and he replied, “I already put it in the box”. I put two hugs, and three kisses from my daddy, my sister and me”. It just melted my heart.

    Hi I am a cream puff, so I cried also. It was something someone put on a Hallmark Card.

the five stages of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

Bruce Tuckman introduced and identified the five stages of a team development. These steps are the forming stage, storming the stage, norming stage, performing stage, and adjourning stage in that chronological order. Furthermore, these steps usually apply universally to all teams/groups regardless of the team members’ demographics, purpose, location, goals, and cultures. In the forming stage, the team is just starting to come together and is characterized by anxiety and uncertainty. In storming, the group is characterized by considerable opposition and conflict. In the norming stage, the group's activities become a unified component. In the performing stage, there is usually high productivity, and the members are supportive, competent, supportive, and loyal. In the adjourning stage, the group needs to have fulfilled its goals; the group is to be closed on a positive note, but members usually feel uncertain and insecure about the future. The adjourning phase is characteristic...

Dr. Lilian Katz Quotes

"In both cooperative learning and project work. The teacher  encourages children to talk to one another. This helps them pay attention to each others efforts and ideas. Children take to these kinds  of exchanges very readily, but the teacher really needs to encourage this interaction"  Dr. Lilian Katz "Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read. The pleasures of being read to are far more likely to strengthen a child's desire to learn to read than are repetitions of sounds, alphabet drills, and deciphering uninteresting words."
