[|Kindergarten Core Curriculum] - I found this core interesting because you would think that the curriculum for children would be fairly easy, but it is actually a lot of material that is very detailed and specific. There is so much children have to learn during these years.

Google vs SIRS

vs

1. SIRS has 100% of their resources dedicated to teaching and learning, Google has less then 10%. 2. Lexile and SIRS reading scores for each article help teachers to help students to select articles they can read and understand to differentiate learning. Google has no equivelant research tool for this. 3. Teachers can access a variety of free SIRS specific learning activites. Google makes busy teachers do necessary selection, and takes more time. 4. SRS has free WEBINAR training courses and Podcasts. Google has no equivelant tools.

Teachers should use SIRS because it was made exactly for their use! Google is helpful, but it is also helpful to the rest of the world, making searches not very specific, and bringing up a ton of things that have to use to teachers or students. SIRS is also student safe, which is very important when it comes to searching on the internet.

[|Famous Speech]

"I had been dissatisfied with the way senior BP management focused so heavily on the easy part of safety, holding the hand rails, spending hours discussing the merits of reverse parking and the dangers of not having a lid on a coffee cup - but were less enthusiastic about the hard stuff, investing in and maintaining their complex facilities. To put it even more bluntly, BP was taking a don't sweat-the-big-stuff attitude toward safety."

[|What its like to be a student in South Africa:] Classroom activities include collaborative assignments, tests, and individual papers. Students normally spend an hour or two on homework every day. Educated parents in South Africa, especially mothers, are very involved in helping their children with homework, but illiterate parents usually leave education up to a child's teachers. South Africans receive instruction in their native language until the grade 7, and then they usually are taught in English after that. Afrikaans is also offered as a language of instruction. In urban areas, an increasing number of primary schools teach in English

A phrase from South Africa //- Sala gashi// (Go well in peace).

If I could change the time period in which I was born, I think I would choose the 1920s. I love this time period. I think it would be so fun to live in the time of the big bands and swing dancing. I loved the 20's and 40's music and dancing.

[|UINTAH COUNTY:] The history of Uintah County goes back to the dinosaur age. Evidences of Dinosaurs, such as bones and fossilized footprints, have been left in the region. Much later, the Freemont Indians and, more recently, the Ute Indians have inhabited this area. Rock art can be seen on many of the canyon walls even today. In 1776 the Dominguez and Escalante expedition stopped here. The Ashley valley was named after Willaim Henry Ashley, one of the early trappers, who traveled many times through the area. In 1861 a group sent by Brigham Young to explore the area declared it a “waste and valueless.” Then in 1873 a group of people entered the Ashley valley to raise livestock an industry that has become very important to the area. Vernal, the county seat, was set up around 1880 when the residents of the area were protecting themselves from a group of hostile Indians.
