The three targeted areas are urgently needed by the family system from the assessment are a stable home, an interaction between siblings, and addressing the major ongoing problem within the family. For a stable home, in the movie scene, it appears how unstable the Grapes family home is, the house is damaged, and they did not have enough money to rebuild it or fix the parts that were falling apart. The second target area is the interaction between siblings, they did not express their feelings towards each other or shared feelings among each other and instead kept it to themselves and left it hanging. It kind of goes with my third point which is addressing the major ongoing problem within the family. No one ever talked about the struggles the family was facing.…

One of the main literacy sponsors growing up was my mom. She was a three grade teacher until I was born. As I grew up she made sure I was reading a book and not wasting all my time watching tv. When I was still learning how to read chapter books my mom would sit on the couch with me and read for at least forty minutes every day so that I grew my read and vocabulary skills. On car rides, weather it was long or short, or if I was just sitting at the baseball field watching my brother play she always made me bring a book with me.…
Knowing one’s family health history provides families, as well as family health nurses knowledge regarding a patient’s risk for certain diseases (NIH, 2016). As families not only share genes, but their environment, and lifestyle, a family nurse must also consider non-biological factors when completing a family health history (NIH, 2016). The purpose of this paper is to discuss my findings after completing a genetic family history assessment, including three generations, as well as family nursing interventions that may be implemented based on the assessment. Choosing this particular family was based on the knowledge, one member has cystic fibrosis. Family Members and Health History…

As media coordinators, we are expected and excited to help students identify with themselves and with situations in the books they read. Often, we are able to recommend books to help students during times when they are experiencing social or emotional problems. In addition, teachers often search for books so that students can identify and relate with their own situations, or empathize with others who are experiencing problems. It would be ideal to have a section of the library that would house these types of “helping” books.…
1. What are the advantages of teaching ELLs in their native language? And what might be some disadvantages? Teaching ELLs in their native language provides them with a solid foundation and easier development of language, enhanced thinking skills, and concepts that are clarified and organized.
