They are learning about five senses the entire week I will be doing my read aloud and this book covers each sense in a colorful and depicting way. It is a well-illustrated and written picture book that corresponds with what they are learning about. In addition, the book avoids racial, ethnic, and sexual stereotyping in the text and illustrations. The writing style is rich, but not complicated for the students. The pictures support the text perfectly. They are bright and full of action like the big text on the pages. It involves different animals of the Savanna desert and their need for water. The visual elements of this book will be appealing to Kindergartners because of the bold colors, the shape of the animals, and the lines of the background that help the characters stand

    How can belonging and participating within a diverse community aid in the development of your academic, social and career goals? I usually enjoy starting my papers of with my name Taylor Andrews, what I’m entering for, the battle royal for everything, and my level a EKU JR, and arrogantly but rightly deserves it. Then I would give a generic merriam-webster dictionary for diversity; the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc, and then give my view. You may not agree but still feel as if EKU has a large way to go compared to Rutgers University in NJ with a diversity. Diversity plus Eastern Kentucky University is supposed to equal melting pot, but I have not seen this diverse world clearly.…

    I participated in the senses challenge supplied by the British Broadcasting Company to test my abilities and regards to my main sensory modalities. I achieved 100%, my first try, on the test. I was not surprised by the fact of my grade as the test was easy for me. The easiness isn 't due to the inability to accurately conduct the senses challenge online or the gullibility of the test taker but due to the fact I was raised in a sensory enhancing environment. The North Dakota environment influenced each of my senses in a positive enhancing matter that still affects me to this day.…

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon.

Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…
