Personally, I disagree with the many teachers today who are pushing the notion that in order to teach multiculturalism in school curriculum, teachers must actually move away from the traditional curriculum. awaxler@tampabay.rr.com (Adam Waxler) Sun, 11 Dec 2005 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/3390/1/The-Value-of-a-Science-Fair-Project With the jam-packed schedules of today's families, why would either a student or a parent want to add one more major activity? Clearly, any school project assigned to a student should meet a stringent test for usefulness. Surprising to some, a science fair project is one of the best learning experiences a student can undertake. And, if it is taken seriously, it can be an excellent way to earn significant prizes, qualify for scholarships, and distinguish a college application. articles@sciencebuddies.org (Kenneth L.

Recognizing when to say something, and how to approach the subject with your provider, will help maintain a positive relationship between you and your childcare provider and a healthy environment for your child. melissa@DAYCAREMATCH.COM (Melissa Newby) Thu, 17 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/2743/1/How-Can-Parents-Encourage-Their-Children-To-Read While it is true that children spend a significant portion of their day with their teachers it is often their parents who wield more power to encourage them to read. However a lot of parents are unclear as to how they can achieve this. The following steps outline some ways in which parents can improve their childrens reading skills. helpdesk@improve-reading-skills.com (Sandra Clair) Wed, 02 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/175/1/Break-Through-Strategies-for-Teaching-Social-Skills As any parent or teacher with the responsibility of teaching individuals with social skills deficits can tell you, "It ain't easy."

If you really don't know much about it, don't pass those feelings on to your children. It's not too late for you either. What you may have thought of as boring and a waste of time when you were in school, might be the very thing that a family can build upon for family outings, vacations, and memories. After all, history is memories and can be an exciting vehicle for a family bonding like no other... barb@sbmag.org (Barbara Snyder) Fri, 24 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/182/1/Yes%2C-You-Can-Survive-Your-Adolescent%92s-Challenging-Years Yes, You Can Survive Your Adolescent's Challenging Years and Still Support Success in School barb@sbmag.org (Barbara Snyder) Fri, 24 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/181/1/Homework-Doesn%92t-Have-to-Be-a-Battle-of-Wills Homework. It doesn't have to be a daily battle of wills between child and parent. There are several strategies and elements that a parent can use to maximize an opportunity to support a child's education and to massage the parent/child bond. For the parent, it is a way to understand what is going on at school and an opportunity for communication. Simply put, a parent has the ability to guide a child to positive feelings about education and to the rewards of good efforts... barb@sbmag.org (Barbara Snyder) Fri, 24 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/180/1/Mathematics---We%92re-Counting-on-Help-from-Parents Please don't give your child an excuse to dislike math by making comments about your own school experiences with it or your distaste for it. It is important for parents to be positive, active supporters of the learning process to help encourage a child. A parent's attitude can and will influence that of their offspring. Don't undermine your child's potential by exposing them to your prejudice toward subjects in school that may have given you difficulty.... barb@sbmag.org (Barbara Snyder) Fri, 24 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/179/1/Is-Your-%26%2339%3BA%26%2339%3B-Student-Getting-C%92s%3F Don't let your child slide by with C's when you know he or she could be getting A's. All children have untapped potential that parents can help bring out. Since students in the United States are in school fewer days and fewer hours than many other countries, this leaves many hours available for parents to step into a role far more influential than they might imagine. Education isn't just the teacher's job. A parent is a child's first teacher from birth to school age. Involved parents can make a difference in their child's success in school using some common sense approaches that are important to do.... barb@sbmag.org (Barbara Snyder) Fri, 24 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articledepot.net/articles/176/1/Dyslexic-Boy%26%2339%3Bs-Reading-Rate-Skyrockets Sebastien McKervey, 12 years old, was pretty sure he'd never be able to read.

What do I mean by storytelling? One website says that it is "a narrative account of a real or imagined event or events" That same website (http://www.eldrbarry.net/roos/st_defn.htm) says "Stories connect us with our humanness and link past, present, and future by teaching us to anticipate the possible consequences of our actions." authorinfo@articleworld.net (Alavah Parker) Tue, 21 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0500
