My supports

Would like to thanks all of my supporters

First parents and student

My daily support I receive is from my parents   when they volunteer in my classroom and also support me with their child education.  My student for allow me to be apart life and watch them grow.

Second

My co-workers

My co-worker support on daily basis my share ideas with each. We also give each other advice on how to handle parents and children in the center.   

Finally

Is my mother who is my big support? Who support my education goal and it life. Who is always there for me?

If I lose this support I will be lost because everybody need support in their life.

The benefit of support it allow me to grow as person and it have a positive impact on my life. Because each person give of their time of their time.

Only challenge is that you don’t get support you need when need it but it will also be there for you.

My Connections to Play

Play is our brain's favorite way of learning.

Diane Ackerman

Children have always learned and created places for themselves through play.

Donna R. Barnes

When children pretend, they’re using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be a superhero.

Fred Rogers

I was the queen of the big wheel  I had total of 5 big wheels

       

When I was younger my mother and grandmother  support my play  by give opportunity  to explore my environment . In the summer time I would help my grandmother in her garden. My mother introduce me to new thing how to play jax and how to jump rope. Also the parent in the neighbor  who allow us children to play all day long and have fun.

Play today is not the same as when I was a child. We went outside and play game like freeze tag, kick ball, Mother May I, jump rope,  and hand game  example hand up to  85. Today children  do not play outside because the environment is not safe for them. I wish that children today can play for at least 30 minutes  day  beside in  school.

In my life play was played an important role. It allow be develop  good friends. It taught rule on how  to play game. I it allow me  to free to explore my environment as child. Now play in  life is different  now teaching child how to play  and giving opportunity to play.

Testing

Testing

The think that we are not looking at the child holistically when it comes to standardize test. If a child has a disability   they take the same test.  For example if a child with autism they are on the   first grade level but in the fourth grade the will take the test on the fourth grade level.  In my opinion   I feel that we are teaching to the test. In the Philadelphia School District every six week the students take bench mark test.

 I choose the PISA standardize Test. This test focus on math, reading, and science.  I compare United States with China. Shanghai lead the world in the PISA Score. Compare to China the United States is far behind science, math, and reading.  Shanghai student get out school at 4pm and cram homework until bedtime.

 

I think that we as teacher should come up it test that help the whole children. Also I think we should not be teaching to the test.  I also feel that our student are under a lot of pressured when it comes to taking test .Over all standardize test is the way school are measure how good school are doing.

Gun violence with Children

Gun violence with Children

 

 I choose violence I focus on gun violence the effect in has children .My experience with gun violence is the effect it was my students when the parents shot or killed by gun violence.  My student are withdrawal and some have posttraumatic when the here a loud bang they drop to the floor or the hold to me real tight. The effect of gun violence negative short- and long-term psychological effects, including anger, withdrawal, posttraumatic stress, and desensitization to violence .Gun violence is the number I killed of black children.  Between the year of 1963 to 2010 60,000 black children and teenage.  

 

 I really did not found any information of gun violence on children. Around the world I just found information of the school massacre in Dun lane 1996 were 16 children between ages of five and six were killed.  From the massacre the gun laws in London   are tighter.

child development and public health

Child development and public health



I choose the  maternal mortality. I pick this topic because my cousin all most die give birth to fifth child. She develop  preeclampsia during pregnancy and had the baby early. I pick this topic I wanted to know more information  about maternal mortality. 

I also pick this topic because at work yesterday I saw a powerful video by Merck on the campaign to end maternal mortality in developing country .

In United States 12,7 death per 100.000 live birth.

In the developing country  estimated  "287,000 maternal deaths occurred worldwide in 2010.
This means that each day about 800 women die worldwide because of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Developing countries account for 99 per cent of the deaths. Two regions, Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, accounted for 85 per cent of global maternal deaths"( childinfo )
The Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rate of maternal  death  and South Asia have the second 
highest rate of maternal death. ( childinfo)

The goal is to end maternal mortality in the next decade.  Merck have a website  called Merck  for mothers. Also Merck have committed  10 millions dollars to India  for the next  three years  to reduce maternal mortality.  The company that I work  Maternity Care Coalition for  have received  a grant for ten  to do study on  pregnant  women in the city of Philadelphia  from Merck. I am looking forward to more research  on maternal mortality.
