Sometimes being from a different heritage than everyone else can be hard. This is shown in Fish Cheeks by Amy Tan and Names/Nombres by Julia Alvarez. In Fish Cheeks Amy is embarrassed when the ministers family comes over for a traditional Chinese Christmas dinner. Amy is embarrassed by her family's unique customs and foods. In Names/Nombres Julia moves to America from the Dominican Republic and faces issues with her name.
They are able to say wrong answers, and form opinions without the fear of being reprimanded. In the spring, the students performed “Stations of the Cross”, a very prominent catholic tradition that all the students were familiar with. She allowed the students to have fun with this event and interpret the scenes in their own ways. (Carger, 1996) Allowing the children to do this will help them remember the key events better than if they were just reading it out of a book. It was always positive in this classroom leading to happier students and a better learning
At first glance Grace and Smitty appear to be completely different characters. One is a tall, elegant woman while the other is a short, elderly hangman. In the story Two Fishermen, Smitty is an out of town hangman. He is interviewed by Michael Foster and ends up being friends because of a fishing trip. The townspeople hate Smitty because he is hanging someone who doesn’t deserve it, even though it isn’t Smitty’s fault he is just doing his job.
One activity to engage children would be to discuss the Jewish holiday traditions such as lighting the menorah or the Passover Seder meal. Planning a simple Passover Seder and eating it while discussing the differences Daniel experienced in how meals were eaten at this grandmother’s home as opposed to how they ate at Josh and Thacia’s home would be an enjoyable learning activity. Another activity to incorporate into reading The Bronze Bow would be to discuss how the bronze bow is a symbol that reflects an ideal for Daniel, Joel, and Thacia. Encouranging children create a personal motto and then design a symbol that reflects the motto could spark their imagination.
*Have the children sit in a circle & place A4 sized photos of different breeds of puppies. Ask the children to point out the differences between each puppy, for example eye colour, fur colour, size, short or long fur etc. Ask questions of regardless of each difference would they love the puppy any less, would they be less interesting if the puppy was white or brown, just to generate a discussion. This can then lead into talking about our peers that have different coloured eyes, hair, skin & explain we are all the same but we just have differences or perhaps different beliefs etc *
During September 15 to October 15, we celebrate in honor of Hispanic or Latino heritage and culture.

Isabel Allende is famous for her work in The House of Spirits, City of Beasts, and so much more.
I could see this being a disadvantage for his age, especially when it comes to playing with other kids in his class. After watching over him for only an hour, I can tell he is a very quiet kid. I think this could be because many of the other kids in the program are older than him. I could see that he might act differently in his own classroom. Once the program started, and every child was in their seats, it was time for snacks.
Kids should be very active. They are young and shouldn’t be taught at a young age what the internet is. Many kids tend to get addicted to using the internet and tend to mess up their vision or make them become obese. Kids should be out in the yard or outside running around playing. Dannah Boyd mentions in the article
The key features of an effective play based learning environment are that children able to play uninterrupted for long periods of time and are able to choose from a range of resources and areas, letting them choose activities on their own accord. Children are able to develop a wide variety of skills by having lots of various resources to choose from. 2.5 Explain why both adult initiated and child initiated play and learning activities are important for children from birth to five years In an Early Years setting we allow children to participate in child initiated play. By allowing children to choose which resources they would like to play with let’s them explore their favourite type of activity, and have a sense of independence.
When he is upset, he will feel better if his educator gives him a big cuddle and sits with him for a while. He builds a sense of belonging and establishing relationships with other children, evidenced by his attendance at group times, music times, meal times. He shows interest in other children and being part of the group by observing them and copying what they do, for example, he is learning to wipe his hands before meals as he sees all his friends doing it. He interacts with his friends as well as sit along side his friends in a small group enjoying plastic blocks together. He feels relexed and comfortable exploring the environment in the room.
Imagine a life where everything seems to revolve around one important element. And just as everything seems to be going well, it all changes within a matter of seconds. In the novel Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham, the protagonist, Jane Arrowood, had to experience this. She had a strong passion for drawing, but she was required to have her dominant arm amputated because of a shark attack. As she recovered slowly in the hospital, she showed her true inner strength when she learned to draw and write with her other hand.
With this balance, these kindergarteners will be able to grow up and be as successful as possible, "Play has been phased out … with the context of play." (Source E). There is no reason why educators cannot make learning fun and creative as well as productive. New methods, including "Kahoot" and "Blooket," are perfect examples. These games develop academic knowledge while also building up teamwork and social skills.
Even if you’re not involved in their play it offers a sense of reassurance to children. You can also support a play based approach to learning by encouraging children to play with things they may not have played with before e.g playing with the resource yourself alongside the child. If a child sees what you can do with the resource then they are more likely to eventually participate along side you, copying what you are doing. 4.3 Evaluate different materials and equipment to support play based learning opportunities for children in their early years
The Dreaming The Dreaming is a unique religious concept, but it is not the same as Dreamtime since Dreaming goes beyond the usual sense of how Western civilisation understands dreams. It is the environment the Aboriginal people lived in and still do today. For the Indigenous people, the Dreaming refers to the Creation Period, which is a time beyond human memory, when human beings, landscapes, and languages were created. Dreams are the key parts for the communication between the human and spiritual.
