Week 1
Hi my name is Gloria, I am sixty three years old, and I plan to graduate in October of 2016 with a Bachelor degree in Organization Manager. I have taken my entire course for my degree I am working on my elective course so I decided to take a minor in child hood development. I thought that it would be a good course since I have work with children all my life, raising ten children and only three from nature birth. I now work with Garland independent school district and come in contact with children every day. I community with people through knowledge, everyone come to me for advice, I listen to everyone problem and try to give the best advice possible and if I don’t have the answer we try to investigate and come up with the right one. I love helping people in any way that I could, planning on retiring from my job that I have been on for seventeen years with the school. After I retire if I have to go back to work I am leaning toward benign school counselor or an adviser working with children. That is if God allow me to do it.

In the early childhood classroom, silence is not golden. Spoken words are opportunities for learning that should take place throughout the day - especially during conversations between children and between teachers and children.
Human language is a remarkable way to communicate. No other form of communication in the natural world transfers so much information in such a short period of time. It is even more remarkable that in three short years a child can hear, mimic, explore, practice, and finally, learn language.
Language learningthere is no genetic code that leads a child to speak English or Spanish or Japanese. Language is learned. We are born with the capacity to make 40 sounds and our genetics allows our brain to make associations between sounds and objects, actions, or ideas. The combination of these capabilities allows the creation of language. Sounds come to have meaning. The babbling sound "ma - ma - ma" of the infant becomes mama, and then mother. In the first years of life children listen, practice, and learn. The amusing sounds of a young toddler practicing language (in seemingly meaningless chatter) are really their modeling of the rhythm, tone, volume, and non-verbal expressions they see in us.
Language -with all of its magnificent complexity- is one of the greatest gifts we give our children. Yet, we so often treat our verbal communication with children in a casual way. It is a misconception that children learn language passively. Language acquisition is a product of active, repetitive, and complex learning. The child's brain is learning and changing more during language acquisition in the first six years of life than during any other cognitive ability he is working to acquire. How much easier this learning process can be for children when adults are active participants!

Importance of Reading to Young Children
Language skills.
The language used by the parents to the children tend to be repetitive and limited to vocabularies which are employed daily in addressing them. Thus, when the parents or the instructors read for the children, they enable them to have access to new vocabularies different from topics which comprise of more words and phrases which they do not hear on a daily basis. It also allows to learn new languages and develop the fluency when speaking.
Children lack the reading skills and therefore, it necessary to guide them. By that, the children will be able to achieve the following skills.

Importance of Reading to Young Children
Improves cognitive abilities
Memory/Long-Term- enables a child to access stored information
Visual Processing- allows children to think in visual images
Improves concentration
Attention/Sustained- helps children stay focused
Attention/Selective- helps children ignore distractions
1. Reading exposes the child to various brain exercises. These activities provoke their brains and thus making them start thinking and understanding things from a broad point of view and develop their way of reasoning (Kalb, 2014).
2. Reading to young children on a daily basis enables them to sit still for long periods, and this will be beneficial as they join school. Usually a child is distracted easily by their surrounding.

storybook reading for promoting the
early language and literacy of young
children. By listening to stories, chil-
dren learn about written syntax and
vocabulary and develop phonologi-
cal awareness and concepts of print,
all of which are closely linked to
learning to read and write (National
Early Literacy Panel 2008). Teachers
usually know a read-aloud experi-
ence has been effective because
they see the children maintain their
interest in the story, relate different
aspects of the story to their own
experiences, describe the illustra-
tions, and ask questions about the
characters and plot.
However, listening to a story read
aloud can be a very different experi-
ence for children who speak a lan-
guage other than English. What
happens when the children are read
to in a language they are just begin-
ning to learn? What happens when
an English-speaking teacher reads
a story to a group of children who
are learning English as a second
language?
As illustrated in the vignette at the
beginning of this article, teachers
often describe young dual language
learners in their class as distracted
and unengaged during read-aloud
sessions in English. In this article,
we describe teaching strategies that
English-speaking teachers can use
when reading aloud to young dual
language learners. These strategies
are part of the Nuestros Niños Early
Language and Literacy Program, a
professional development interven-
tion designed to improve the quality
of teaching practices in prekin-
dergarten classrooms to support
Spanish-speaking dual language
learners (Castro et al. 2006). The
intervention was developed and

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

ReseaRcheRs widely Recommend
storybook reading for promoting the
early language and literacy of young
children. By listening to stories, chil-
dren learn about written syntax and
vocabulary and develop phonologi-
cal awareness and concepts of print,
all of which are closely linked to
learning to read and write (National
Early Literacy Panel 2008). Teachers
usually know a read-aloud experi-
ence has been effective because
they see the children maintain their
interest in the story, relate different
aspects of the story to their own
experiences, describe the illustra-
tions, and ask questions about the
characters and plot.
However, listening to a story read
aloud can be a very different experi-
ence for children who speak a lan-
guage other than English. What
happens when the children are read
to in a language they are just begin-
ning to learn? What happens when
an English-speaking teacher reads
a story to a group of children who
are learning English as a second
language?
As illustrated in the vignette at the
beginning of this article, teachers
often describe young dual language
learners in their class as distracted
and unengaged during read-aloud
sessions in English. In this article,
we describe teaching strategies that
English-speaking teachers can use
when reading aloud to young dual
language learners. These strategies
are part of the Nuestros Niños Early
Language and Literacy Program, a
professional development interven-
tion designed to improve the quality
of teaching practices in prekin-
dergarten classrooms to support
Spanish-speaking dual language
learners (Castro et al. 2006). The
intervention was developed and
evaluated in a study funded by
the US Department of Education.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Preface
Early childhood (birth to 6 years) is a critical period of development for young children.
Children make meaning of the world around them by their interactions with objects and people.
The adults around children have this responsibility to facilitate children’s understanding of the
world around them, develop their capacities to perceive what is happening around them and
provide a conducive environment for exploration, experimentation and learning. It is a joint
responsibility of home and school. Studies have established the fact that rich experiences
during early years support children academically, behaviourally and emotionally in the formal
schooling and in later life. Teachers, parents and caregivers often grapple with the following
questions whenever they plan to engage their children into meaningful activities;
What are those experiences?
How can we prepare children for formal schooling that starts from Grade 1?
How equipped are we to provide such experiences?
The India Early Childhood Education Impact Report, 2017 observed that most of the ECCE
programmes are not developmentally appropriate for this age group.
In this context, these activity books have been created to support teachers and parents to
engage children in developmentally appropriate activities related to different domains of
development. The content of the activity books is informed by the lakshyas/targets set by the
NIPUN Bharat guidelines. Hence the focus of the activity books lies on the development of
Foundational literacy and numeracy skills to ‘prepare’ children for a smooth transition to
Grade 1. The activity books fulfill another purpose of giving the ownership of learning to
children. Children can work independently in their activity books with the help of teachers,
parents and other caregivers. The disposition to learn is as important as learning a concept or
a particular skill.
It is a well-established fact that theme-based programmes provide a plethora of opportunities
for children to explore the concepts and ideas related to their immediate environment in a
variety of ways. Thus, the activity books are thematically organised. There are three activity
books meant for three different levels.
2. 2
Activity book 1 (3-4 years)
Activity book 2 (4-5 years)
Activity book 3 (5-6 years)
There are 10 themes in the activity books that are spirally organised at each level. The
activity books follow the level-wise progression suggested by the developmental
characteristics mentioned by NCERT (2015) and the developmental goals set by the NIPUN
Bharat Guidelines (2021).
A four-week programme (five days a week) for each theme is given in the books. There are
three theme-related suggestive activities given for each day. These activities include songs,
stories, games, guided conversations, art and craft, drawing and worksheets related to themes
and foundational literacy and numeracy skills for the holistic development of children. There
is a balance of structured and unstructured activities. Teachers and parents can modify these
activities and can create more activities as per the requirement of children. There are a few
things that the teachers, parents and caregivers need to keep in mind while using these activity
books with children.
● Provide a fear-free non-judgemental environment to children.
● Help children to follow a routine.
● Ask questions given after the stories and poems in Hindi and Urdu as well.
● Keep the classroom discussions interactive. Give children ample opportunities to talk
and share their thoughts and feelings.
● Read the instructions for the activities carefully before the facilitation of the activities.
● Modify the instructions if needed so that each child can be included in the process of
learning.
● Allow children to finish their work at their own pace.
● Appreciate and accept their work.
● Repeat stories, songs, themes and activities with children.
● Engage with children in all the activities.
● Errors are a part of the learning process.
3. 3
We sincerely hope that these activity books will ‘prepare’ children to have a smooth
transition to formal learning of 3 Rs of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.
A note on language teaching
Language development during early age plays a major role in the learning of other subjects
during higher grades. The more we immerse children in a language rich ( spoken and print)
environment, the better their foundational literacy skills develop. We can use a variety of
activities to enhance language development during early years. Below are some activities to
develop foundational literacy skills for Hindi and Urdu:
Listening and speaking
● Encourage children to verbally share their thoughts, emotions and experiences.
● Talk to children in simple language.
● Narrate stories to children and give them a chance to predict.
● Encourage children to re-narrate the story and add changes done by them.
● Provide opportunities for pretend play.
● Break instructions in smaller sentences to make it easy to comprehend.
● Repeat the new words in conversations with children.
● Bring children’s attention on big and small words/sentences.
● Bring children's attention to various types of sounds around them and later focus on
the sounds.
● Bring children’s attention to rhyming words and let them make some rhyming words
on their own.
● Show some pictures to children and ask them to identify the things in it. Encourage
older children to make sentences/ stories related to them.
● Recite poems and sing songs with children.
● Recite poems with children and encourage them to find out words starting with one
particular sound.
● Let children add their own lines in a poem.
● Ask children to identify big and small sentences, different words used in a sentence,
different sounds in a word.
Reading and writing
4. 4
● Narrate stories to children and write the main character name on the board and read it
with children.
● Have a reading corner in the classroom, where children can pick a book of their
choice.
● Read aloud stories with a book in your hand and sometimes do finger reading with
children.
● Label things in your classrooms and homes and bring children's attention to those
words so that children develop a visual memory of those words.
● Write some words related to the theme and display them in the classroom and read
them with children on a regular basis.
● Display the words with a particular letter in the classroom and read them with
children.
● Encourage children to read familiar words around them such as their name, their
friends name.
● Label children's drawings and other art work.
● Display their scribbling, art work and theme related work.
● Let children write the letters on sand, soil, board, in the air using their finger or chalk
or stock.
● The letters of Hindi and Urdu alphabet can be introduced in a variety of ways to
children so that they connect sounds with symbols. The context of the introduction is
important. For example, in these activity books we introduced letters ‘t’ and ‘r’ during
the theme ‘transport’.
● Encourage children to associate sound with the letter and ask them to share more
words of the same sound. Teacher can write them on the blackboard and make a
picture as well.
● Play hidden treasure with children. After introducing a few letters, hide them in the
classroom and encourage children to find them. For level 2, hide words which have
that particular letter and ask them to find it.
● Encourage children to join letters to make words with the letters that have already
been introduced. For example, in Hindi children can use letters (घ, र ) to make word
(घर). Similarly, we can make words such as ()گھر with letters (ر ,)گھ
5. 5
● Display a letter -word wall in the room and encourage children to add words
associated with that sound.
● Word-mala can be played. Ask a child to share a word (baal) then the child sitting
next to him/her will say a word starting with the last sound of previously said word (l-
lattu) and so on.
● Tell children the formation of letters as an interesting song. For example, for 'क
' - ' Ek
lamba danda uska mota pet piche nikli poonch'.
In Urdu, for ' 'ت
-
تارے دو ہے میں جس کشتی ایک ' '
● Use poems to introduce sounds. For example,
'क
' की कविता
क ाँव- क ाँव करत कौआ,
क
ू - क
ू करती कोयल।
कह ाँ गय है कछ
