How Green Was My Valley - 0 views

  •  
    How Green Was My Valley is a story about a Welch coal mining family told through the eyes of the youngest boy.
  •  
    It was a pretty interesting story. Somewhat similar to our story Out of This Furnace. It was a little slow but thats kinda how old movies are. I don't think you could make a movie exciting about living in a coal mining family.

      Lost at School By: Dr. Ross Greene
  • Lost at School
  • In so many schools, kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges are still poorly understood and treated in a way that is completely at odds with what is now known about how they came to be challenging in the first place.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • A review of ten years of research found that these policies have not only failed to make schools safe or more effective in handling student behavior, but have actually increased behavior problems and dropout rates. Yet public elementary and secondary schools in the United States continue to dole out a whopping 110,000 expulsions and 3 million suspensions each year, along with countless tens of millions of detentions.
  • These kids would like nothing better than to be able to handle the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges being placed on them at school and in life, but they can’t seem to pull it off.
  • Three massive shifts are required: (1) a dramatic improvement in understanding the factors that set the stage for challenging behavior in kids; (2) creating mechanisms for helping these kids that are predominantly proactive instead of reactive; and (3) creating processes so people can work on problems collaboratively.

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?
