First Athlete is located in Edina, MN, and is a central facility for all kinds of athletes…

Transitions are an integral part of the classroom procedures. Transition times can be the most chaotic times of the day in any classroom setting. Transitions are defined as the times during the day when children move or change from one activity to another. These actives could include entering in the classroom, moving to different centers, going to lunch or recess and even going home. Transition times have to be planned carefully and implemented early, because by minimizing transition, we can…

stories have changed. How and why have children’s stories changed overtime? This is best seen through two different versions of The Little Mermaid, the Disney version and the original Hans Christian Andersen version. Each follows the journey of a little mermaid who dreams of being with a prince who lives on land. In the Hans Christian Andersen version of the story the little mermaid is not yet old enough to go to the surface. When she is, she sees a prince celebrating his birthday…

My Dad’s Story: Dream for My Child There is nothing in the world that parents won’t do for their children, even if it means disguising their worst struggles. This sorrowful ad from Hong Kong MetLife is a praise to the sacrifices “parents make for their children on a daily basis. Titled “‘My dad’s story’: Dream for My Child,” the commercial shows a father reading an essay his young daughter wrote about him.” In the ad “My Dad Is A Liar,” Metlife creates a tremendous amount of pathos in order to…

The lengthy, cramped, and quiet bus ride to Living Hope Day School both excited and terrified me. A never ending stream of “what if” questions rattling my brain caused me think twice about what I was doing there in the first place. I was a stranger to them, someone whom they knew nothing about. I gazed out the window, trying to calm my thoughts when I saw them. An endless sea of purple sweaters, and cheery faces lined the fence at the school. All of my previous doubts washed away when I stepped…

Giving back has always been in my thoughts. I was able to do a little bit of giving back monetarily last week but I try to have a giving attitude even though my finances have constrained me for a long time. I think having gratitude for what we have lets us feel like we can give a little of it away. The last chapter that we read said to Be the Unseen Difference. As I read about him buying 10 copies of the books I just thought…

What if it is someone who is a cop and it 's easy for them to cover up each of the kidnappings? She thought about many different people that it could be. Who likes little children and who fits the description of what she found out. Then it happened, she realized who it could be. With the shock of who it possible was she had to think more about it. She watched her suspect closely, followed him everywhere. Even told…

Seventh grade I simultaneously tapped my leg on the floor and my pencil to my desk. I looked around the room and examined all of my classmates. No one seemed as nervous as me. My teacher slid my test towards me and I felt my stomach drop as soon as I read the first couple of questions. I had no idea what any of the information was and I knew there was absolutely no way I was passing the test. What’s ridiculous is that even though I didn’t study, I felt bad for myself. “Are you okay?” my…

reading was an essential part of my life. My mother and my older brother loved to read. One memory of literacy involves spending time with my mother, reading The Little Ballerina by Dorothy Grinder. We would always sit at the end of my bed, and she would read that book to me every night. Just as my mother did, my grandmother would read The Little Ballerina…
