The Lorax by Dr. Seuss Introduces Children to Environmental Issues - 1 views

  •  
    Thanks for linking this great teaching resource up to the Diigo group Brianna. Another wonderful connection, which also attests to the power of online petitioning, this time from a 4th grade teacher and his class, can be found here: http://www.change.org/petitions/z-let-the-lorax-speak-for-the-trees?utm_medium=email&utm_source=action_alert. Essentially his petition, which was signed by tens of thousands of individuals, helped shape the focus of the upcoming film version of the Lorax from Universal Studios. Isn't this a great?

Working With Families of Children With Special Needs | VLS - 0 views

  • Establishing meaningful relationships with families is a critical part of your work, and your communication is especially important when working with families with preschoolers with special needs.
  • The first step to establish strong relationships with families of children with special needs is to spend time discovering their wishes and concerns for their children and to learn about the meaningful activities they participate in at home. Maintaining this communication throughout a child’s time in your program is essential. Ask questions to learn about strategies that work at home and consider using them in your classroom.
  • In your collaboration with families, acknowledge and respect their strengths and unique background, while realizing their ability to make decisions that are right for them (Hanson & Lynch, 2004).
