Dianna Dabney Double-entry journals are an excellent way to engage students in learning. They are used to assist students in structuring their thinking.
Fold your paper "hot dog" style
Draw a line down the center of the crease
Label the left side "Jot Notes"
Label the right side "Reflections"
Jot down one thing you know about literacy centers, then add information as we present.
At the conclusion of our presentation, we will revisit the journals and reflect! Plant the Seed Set high expectations for students' learning and behavior while in centers
Provide a print-rich environment
Provide clear instructions for center rotations
Provide scaffolding and coaching prior to centers to maximize student learning Tasks focus on previously taught concepts and skills. Double-Entry Journals This strategy is aligned with the following Common Core State Standards for Reading:
Students explain what a text quote says and draw inferences from it.
Students use textual evidence to support their story analysis.
Students analyze how dialogue and events influence a story's development. What is a Literacy Center? Literacy Centers are centers that are set up around the room with specific learning activities in each. Literacy Centers are designed to be utilized by students in pairs or groups while the teacher is providing direct instruction to small, homogeneous groups with similar instructional needs. Each center is equipped with directions for completion and centers are related in theme or content. Maximize classroom time
Provide opportunities for students to collaborate
Integrate reading and writing with other content areas
Facilitate independent use of centers by students
Operate with minimal transition time/classroom management concerns
There are two keys that motivate learning:
perception of the possibility of success
perception that the outcome will be valued
The instructional activity must be within reach of the learner and he/she needs to perceive the possibility of success. The best way to do this is through providing meaningful and purposeful learning activities (Ford & Opitz, 2002). Small heterogeneous groups gives them roots starts the process Write the Room Story/Retelling Center Alphabet/ABC Center (Secret Code) Engagement Strategy Theme Library Please use the Video Analysis Tool as you view the video. Core Supporting Research Revisit Double-Entry Journal Now that our presentation has come to a close, let's discuss some of the things that you found interesting or that you have questions about. Websites for 21st Century Learning Research continued... Research shows that 2/3 of a student's time during the reading block is spent away from the teacher (Ford & Opitz, 2002).
The success of guided reading as an instructional practice depends on the implementation of a classroom structure that provides teachers with opportunities to effectively work with small groups of readers while keeping other readers independently engaged in meaningful literacy learning activities (Kane, 1995).
Children need activities that will advance their knowledge about literacy (Ford & Opitz, (2002).
Student interaction with print in center activities is essential for learning and intensifies the power of center-based activities (Ford & Opitz, 2002).
It is important to make the time spent in small-group instruction as motivational as the center activities (Lapp, Flood, & Goss, 2000).
Students benefit from thematic reading and writing activities introduced in literacy centers (Allen, Glines, & Walker, 1997).
Research shows that the more time children spend with books in reading centers, the more they enjoy and notice similarities and differences between them (Green & Parker, 2002).
The success of learning centers depends on the ability of children to work with others (Frey & Fisher, 2007).
Cross-curricular connections can be made through center activities for success in early literacy, such as visual discrimination, use of abstract symbols, and oral language production (Giles & Wellhousen, 2005).
http://pinterest.com/search/?q=literacy+centers Children are like trees. Educators initially plant the seed of literacy. We then water and nurture that seed until our students grow roots. Once those roots of literacy are established, we work on strengthening the core of our students' learning experiences. The students begin branching out into different areas of interest. They blossom into independent learners with a desire to explore reading further. They eventually mature into fruitful and independent readers-the ultimate goal of guided reading. Literacy Centers are an excellent way to structure the time that students spend away from their teacher during guided reading, and produce meaningful learning experiences for ALL learners. ELA Common Core Standards Research to Build and Present Knowledge
28.) Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic. [W.4.7]
29.) Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; take notes and categorize information, and provide a list of sources. [W.4.8]
30.) Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. [W.4.9]
Speaking and Listening (Presentation and Knowledge of Ideas)
35.) Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience in an organized manner, using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace. [SL.4.4] Write the Room Center Activity - This strategy is an excellent way for students to become familiar with a print-rich classroom. Students use clipboards with predetermined criteria for students to search out. This creates a "scavenger hunt" type activity in locating words in the classroom. This activity is easily adaptable to varying degrees of difficulty for diverse learners. Practical Examples Explained Alphabet/ABC Center (Secret Code) - This strategy uses clipart to make a secret code alphabet. The beginning sound of the picture represents the letter, such as an apple for an a, a banana for a b, etc. The clipart is then used to create secret code words for the students to decode. The students must write the beginning sound below each picture to spell a sight word. Story/Retelling Center - Students tell their own original stories or retell familiar stories. Story props may also be used. Flannel board pieces, puppets, drama center with props and costumes, pocket charts, or photocopied pages from books may be used. Theme Library - As each new theme or season approaches, a bookshelf in the classroom would be filled with books related to that particular theme. Students would be encouraged to self-select some of their favorite stories to read in this center. The thematic approach to this center activity is wonderful for motivating students to read!

Teachers should encourage conversation and support students to provide clear explanations to extend their vocabulary and concept development (Van Meeteren & Escalada, 2009).
Literacy centers enable teachers to differentiate instruction, address the interests of students, keep the learning child-centered, create socially-based learning, and teach children within their zones of proximal development (Stout, 2009).
One of the most important factors in center work is providing opportunities for concrete experiences that, in the future, will allow students to connect to more abstract concepts (Van Meeteren & Escalada, 2009).
It is by bridging the gap between literary socialization in the home and literacy education at school that the motivation, engagement, and participation of students in classroom instruction can be enhanced (Netten, Droop, & Vanhoeven, 2011). Assessment Teachers can easily assess student learning in center activities through:
Informal observation of center activities
The use of a center folder which students take to each center and the teacher later checks
The use of center exit cards which students fill out and leave in each individual center to check for understanding.

Gems Wholesale is a jewelry store that appeared in the Season Sixteen episode, "Cash For Gold".
Eric Cartman visited this store in search for wholesale jewelry, which he could resell on his show, Old People's Shopping Network. The store is operated by three Asian women, who were manipulative and condescending to Cartman. They faked exaggerated enthusiasm for his purchase choices, and treated him with sarcastic remarks. Cartman and the Asian women got into an argument over who was "fucking" who out of money. After noticing the game the women are playing as the same tactics he employs, Cartman left to find the true source of where the gold and jewelry was coming from.

The eternal paradox of life and death tightens its grip on us, whilst at the same time being challenged by modern science. Centuries before our time, the cycle of life and death was readily accepted. The afterlife was worshipped to be everlasting, with many cultures investing a lot of their time and energy into ensuring a good afterlife (see, Egyptians, Myans, Vikings etc). Life was cyclical. It came and went as the seasons changed.
A fantastic marketing ploy in only the past 100 years has made time liner and fashioned it into a commodity to be earned and spent. A line stretching straight on into the void. This shift in scope has changed our current view of the passage of time. Instead of accepting death as a part of life, science and engineering has aspired to extend our normal cycles to be everlasting. The search for eternal life continues in earnest. Science fiction movies envision suspended hibernation, beings who live beyond our normal human stretch of years. New aged health care, medicines, lifestyles are marketed with the possibility of extending your life, at a price. We can exchange one currency for another. Money for time.
The dramatic events of recent history, Chernobyl, 9/11, the Boxing Day Tsunami, have made us even more keenly aware of how fragile life is, whilst at the same time still thinking "it won't happen to me". Many of us live in the ignorant bliss of our own mortality, whilst quickly passing judgement on others. It's easier to not think about death. But right there, in really knowing you don't get to live forever, that you only have this one shot, can we really transcend, can we really appreciate the gift of today and live the best of it. In the immortal words of Eminem, "if you only had one shot, would you take it?" Sure, your new behaviour might be seen as erratic, neurotic even, but only to the people who aren't on your level.
Refusing to live in constraints given to you by society might be seen as crazy. It might seem enlightened. It might be the encouragement someone else needs to break free of their chains and truly live their best life today. Because you don't know what will happen tomorrow.
Here is a picture of my cat, Cora, who is free from the ravages of self-awareness and other crippling paradoxes. I think.
Live in fear of the end of your life, and find freedom in that.

called to be faithful……
February 11, 2010
i am so thankful that the Lord doesn't give us our children and then leave us to figure out this awesome task of parenting.
i have been struggling in my parenting lately. struggling with feeling very overwhelmed and feelng like i just can't keep up with all of the training and correction that has become a major and necessary part of my everyday life right now. i have often become so overwhelmed that i don't even want to getout of bed in the morning, because i know what the day will hold, and quite frankly, i didn't want to deal with it.
just as God, in his kindness, gave us his Word as a guide in our parenting, he also has given us wonderful and wise friends who speak Truth and encouragement into our lives.
greg and i had the distinct pleasure of double dating with a sweet couple last night who we greatly admire and respect. out of love and care for us, they asked us where we are the most encouarged/discouraged right now. i shared with them my current struggles in my parenting and we ended up spending the next several minutes discussing that.
after much discussion, our sweet friends helped me (greg too) to see the Hope that we have in our parenting and they helped us to see the importance in being faithful to the calling God has placed on our lives.
they helped me to see that even when i'm tired or busy, i have a duty to train and discipline my children. they helped me to see that the training doesn't have to "look" the same everyday or in every season, but that being faithful never changes…no matter what.
their encouraging words of wisdom were so helpful to me. i left the restaurant filled w/hope and actually excited about the calling (privilege) God has given me and greg.
i realize that it's only 6:30 in the morning and that i haven't been faced with the busyness and disobedience that awaits me in this day, BUT i am freshly and greatly aware that God is for me in my parenting and that He will give me the grace i need to be faithful…now i just need to remind myself of that througout my day. 🙂
Lord, thank you for the gift of my precious children. thank you for trusting me with this awesome task of raising them and for not leaving us to do this alone. give me the grace to "restore them gently" today and to remember to talk to you and trust you throughout my day. thank you that though i'm not perfect, i am the perfect mommy for my kids and they are the perfect kids for me.

Singer Alsou confirmed that waiting for a third child. She spoke about it on the air TV program "You will not believe." According to the singer, now it feels good, and intends to continue its concert activity, in spite of the position of the
<--tbegin:.! http: />/www.vladtime. ru / uploads / posts / 2016-04 / 1461475378_1.jpg | -> <-! tend ->
it is worth noting that in March this year Alsu and her husband celebrated the wedding decade. At the same time, journalists began to publish speculation that the singer was pregnant and is waiting for the third child. Despite this, she Alsou refused to comment on the matter. Initially, the reason for the rumors became a free dress, in which she appeared on one of the secular parties.
A few days ago Alsou released on his page on Instagram picture, which clearly shows her rounded belly. She also wrote that she and her husband are expecting a baby, which will be the third in the family. Many subscribers immediately wished future baby and his mother's health.
At the moment we have two daughters Alsou. Elder, whose name Safin, recently turned nine years. She also has a younger sister, Michele, who is now seven years old. Alsou also noted that it intends to continue touring until the last moment. According to the singer, the state encourages her to new achievements.

Delhi Sunday recorded a maximum temperature of 39.7 degrees Celsius, two notches above average. However, hotter days are set to return with Monday's temperature forecast to touch the 41 degree mark."The maximum today (Sunday) was 39.7 degrees Celsius, two degrees above average. Monday could be hotter as we are expecting that the maximum and minimum will both rise. The maximum would be around 41 degrees Celsius," an official at the India Meteorological Department said.While the minimum temperature Sunday was three degrees above average at 24.7 degrees Celsius, the IMD expects this figure to hover around 26 degrees Celsius Monday.The IMD said that the sky would be clear in the morning but may get cloudy in the evening although no rain is expected. "The temperature rose to 44 degrees Celsius last week. Comparatively it was not that harsh this week since there was mild precipitation earlier on. There will be mainly clear skies and no rains over the next two days," the IMD said.
I believe in the dignity of labour, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. (John D. Rockefeller)

My First Quilt 1/3/09
I did it a small baby girl quilt. This quilt was a kit you could buy at Joann's it was mainly a straight forward quilt front and then sew on the back and that is it. But I decided to add some batting to thicken it and then I diagonally quilted the quilt. Basically what you get in the kit is fabric, no border material and basic instructions. My mom who quilts beautifully helped me with the batting and told me how to do the quilting. It is small but cute. Someone will get this as a gift when they have a baby girl.

Students graduating from Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (TouroCOM) in Harlem in June have completed an outstanding round of residency matches for fall, according to results from the school's fourth consecutive "Match Day." Of the 131 students eligible for matches in the class of 2014, 98 percent were successfully matched–with many going to the most respected residency programs in the country.
"The class of 2014 has performed well throughout their training. These students continue to prove themselves by the successes shown in their matches to such fine institutions in New York, New Jersey and throughout the country," said Dr. Robert B. Goldberg, dean and professor at TouroCOM. "Our graduates are well prepared to meet the needs of the medically underserved people of all backgrounds. We send them off with pride and confidence."
TouroCOM is committed to training osteopathic physicians, with a particular emphasis on practicing medicine in underserved communities, and to increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in medicine. A cornerstone of the school's mission is to graduate qualified osteopathic physicians into primary care residencies in specialties including family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology.
"TouroCOM graduates continue to distinguish themselves by placing into many of the most prestigious residency programs in New York and across the United States, in the most desirable specialties. It is noteworthy that 55 percent of this year's graduates chose primary care, and 65 percent are staying in the New York metropolitan area, with a majority working in medically underserved communities," said Dr. Kenneth J. Steier, dean and professor at the TouroCOM-Middletown Campus.
Of the students in the graduating class, 25 percent were matched to residencies in general internal medicine, 14 percent in pediatrics, 12 percent in family medicine, 9 percent in emergency medicine, 7 percent in psychiatry, and 4 percent in OB/GYN.
Included among the area's hospitals receiving TouroCOM graduates are Maimonides Medical Center, St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, Staten Island University Hospital, Palisades Medical Center, St. Barnabas Hospital, Westchester Medical Center, and New York University Medical Center. In other parts of the country, the graduates will be residents at Georgetown University Hospital, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, among others.
All of the TouroCOM students will become osteopathic physicians; however, they were eligible to apply for both allopathic (M.D.) and osteopathic (DO) residencies. The allopathic residency "matches" are made by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and the osteopathic matches by the National Matching Services (NMS). NRMP residencies are open to students at both allopathic and osteopathic medical schools. The NMS residencies are open only to DO students. Selections are based predominantly on student performance while on rotations at hospitals, as well as their national board scores.
TouroCOM is dedicated to mentoring students as soon as they begin their medical education. The deans and faculty work closely with the students to ensure that they receive a rigorous, hands-on medical education, and offer many programs that allow students to interact directly with the community. This exposure ultimately guides students through the process of successfully landing residencies at top institutions.
Touro is a system of non-profit institutions of higher and professional education. Touro College was chartered in 1970 primarily to enrich the Jewish heritage, and to serve the larger American and global community. Approximately 19,000 students are currently enrolled in its various schools and divisions. Touro College has branch campuses, locations, and instructional sites in the New York area, as well as branch campuses and programs in Berlin, Jerusalem, Moscow, Paris, and Florida. New York Medical College, Touro University California and its Nevada branch campus, as well as Touro University Worldwide and its Touro College Los Angeles division, are separately accredited institutions within the Touro College and University System.
