This lesson will connect and review what is done at school by playing a game of matching the letters to the book “ABeCedarios” by Cynthia Weill. This activity is similar to Bingo; however, a book will be used to have the child match the letters. As children continue to explore the cards and the book they become more proficient. Parents and teachers will begin to observe how many letters can be recognized or matched. Ages: 3-5 English & Spanish

- Purpose: Each child will get one construction paper that they will fold in half to represent a book. The teacher will place a stack of grocery newspapers in the middle of the table or hand each child one newspaper. The child will then cut out the picture of the food items that they eat at home and glue the picture in their book. The newspapers that we arc using for this activity are free, grocery stores mail them to promote their business and specials for the week. Also, the children get to see the real picture of food as oppose to a drawing. Depending on the children's ages, you can have a goal of 10 items per student or have the children fill the whole book. Healthy eating is promoted everywhere now a days. A child might be thinking, what is healthy food? The next step for this activity is to do one page with non-healthy food items and the second page with healthy food items. Also, once the children have a better understanding of what is healthy, teachers can increase the number of pages in the child's book. Ages: 3-5 Book for possible reference "Grandma and Me at the Flea" by Juan Felipe Herrera

- Description:
- This study utilizes studies on the research and exploration of the impact that schools have on parent participation and involvement in a child’s education, specifically when focusing on non-native English speaking families. This study investigates the struggles that these families face in the school setting, as well as possible solutions to create a more welcoming environment. The findings of this study include that parents felt frustrated or scared when reaching out, schools provided little resources for these families, and healthy parent-school relationships yielded positive results for English language learners. A key implication of this study was that there are many things the schools, educators, and administration can do to help the parents feel respected and understood, creating a positive and mutually beneficial relationship.

- This study was performed in response to the problem of practices regarding school safety tactics. According to Tim Walker, author of “'School Hardening' Not Making Students Safer, Say Experts”, schools are spending millions of dollars on new technology and safety procedures to improve the safety of their campuses. Through my research I have found that there are a few concepts that can be introduced to improve school safety as well. The first concept is to introduce self-defense to teachers, so that they can protect their classrooms.
Through my research, I have found that Krav Maga, the Israeli hand-to-hand combat system may prove successful against attacks. I was limited to the amount of research that I could do on this topic, due to the fact that testing out a safety tactic like this would require an attack to take place or have teachers practice the techniques. I plan to continue this study and conduct experiments, as I have partnered with a local gym that believes that Krav Maga may bring security to campuses nationwide. The second idea that I began to research was how to make mental health services more accessible. As I began my research on current school tactics and their effectiveness, I originally wanted to study how self-defense can improve school safety; however, I began to realize that most attacks are made by individuals with mental health issues. This began the second part of my study: how to improve mental health services and make them more available. This second part of my study opened a new gate way to how to deter future threats. Although I feel that improving mental health services could be beneficial in the long run, my research shows that self-defense can have a positive impact on school safety tactics now.

- Description:
- This paper discusses the various ways in which second language learners can be motivated in education. It is the job of the educator to try to build relationships with their students. Student-teacher relationships are critical to student motivation. There are different methods that teachers can use to motivate students who are English language learners. More so than other students, English language learners lack motivation when it comes to school. The reasons for the lack of motivation vary. Students may not have a strong support system at home or the parents at home may feel the school does not offer the resources necessary to inform them or make them feel like they are part of the school. When teachers are teaching and they are reading books with characters that are all of the same race and background children can have a hard time relating to the material causing a decrease in their willingness to participate. If students feel like their teachers are supportive of their success then they are more likely to put forth the effort necessary to complete the work or task given to them. In addition to relationships, teachers can use various learning strategies to help student motivation. There are many learning strategies that teachers can use, such as the MUSIC strategy, providing accommodations and approaches to learning are just a few ways that teachers can encourage student motivation in the classroom.
