As a kid myself growing up in Columbus I can say that I spent many rainy days at COSI and I had tons of fun. There is an Ocean exhibit which takes you through a darkened room with walls made out of coral reefs with several water stations that can teach your child a variety of things such as the way waves are made and how they move, and an explorative camera station that you can look around a small marina and see some of the life of the ocean. There are many other exciting and educational places throughout the building that I would discuss, but I suggest that you go check it out yourself with your children! You will not regret

    Sitting through school is not always an exciting thing to do for kids. Learning about history can be even more boring, but a 5th grade teacher found a way to put the spotlight on one of his lessons the kids took part in. Now, the substitute teacher at Jefferson Elementary School in Maplewood, New Jersey, has some people fuming over the class activity. CBS New York reported the school in the South Orange Maplewood School District is under fire for having children take part in a lesson about slavery, which included a mock slave auction where a child was sold to the highest bidder. Some parents were furious that the school would allow a sensitive subject like slavery to be taught to the young children in this manner.…

    While attending Eastern Kentucky University where I obtained my BS in Occupational Therapy, I knew that I wanted to serve others not only in direct patient care, but also in a leadership role. Early in my career I began taking on leadership responsibilities by becoming the lead therapist at the first offsite satellite location at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. I began managing the OTPT location budget, handling the waitlist for therapy services, and serving as the liaison between the satellite location and OTPT management. Taking on these responsibilities was extremely gratifying. I was able to continue treating children while also contributing to the financial success and business functions of our small offsite location.…

    I chose to attend a community college for three main reasons: affordability, location, and small classes. Right out of high school I started college at a public, four-year college, University of River Falls; I had to drop out a month in due to medical issues. At that time I was unaware that I could make a medical appeal and get a full refund, so when I tried college again I was over a thousand dollars in debt from my first attempt. I’m on disability, so my income is limited and I can’t work that many hours. The location of my current community college, St. Cloud Technical and Community College, is right by most of my doctors, so the location is a great fit for me.…

    1) Do you feel that the kids are at a disadvantage in comparison to other children? Explain how they are at a disadvantage and why? I strongly feel that the children are in disadvantage from other children. They live very far from the actual city, so the task of taking a bus to go to the school is not an easy task as a regular child. The food that the children eat may not be the best so they are not well nourished as a regular child.…

    There are a number of resources that will be playing their individual role in regards to the students and their academics. Even though there are after school programs present in the school after school hours for average level academic students, it should be more for the low academic students as stated throughout the paper. The after school program is to take place during after school hours for about 45 minutes, as additional learning. There are about three teachers in each of the 1st to 5th grade classes, so the extra help for the students can take place in each of the classes for the stated grades. Only if there is consistent availability for the teachers during the afterhours of school.…
