It includes the shells, the animals that Presentation create them, that can be found by those willing to brave the elements and the By Matthys rocky shores of Oregon and Washington. A resident of King City, Oregon, Matthys and her husband, Ken, have traveled to Sanibel Island each winter since 1993 in order to peruse their hobby of shell collecting. She started filming live mollusks in order to show her grandchildren how these marvelous creatures move, eat and reproduce. When The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum opened on Sanibel in 1995, Joyce became an education docent and her interest and knowledge of mollusks expanded. When asked to help develop a new program for visiting students, she dug into her vast collection of video clips and in 2003 produced Mollusks In Action. It met with such approval that the museum began showing it to the general public throughout the day. In 2008, Trails And Tales Of Living Seashells (And Other Interesting Sea Creatures) was released and it now also Joyce Matthy is shown daily at the museum. It introduces the viewer to another aspect oyce Matthys will deliver a video of beach combing, showing the different presentation at the Bailey Matthews sea creatures that make trails in the JNational Shell Museum on sand. Both videos are filmed, produced Wednesday, February 10 at 1:30 p.m. and narrated by Matthys. Matthys’ program compares shell

One research study School Fund suggested that children with at least three adverse childhood experiences had 80 percent greater odds of having math, language and literacy skills below average than children with no childhood difficulties. Children with at least three tough experiences were more than three times more likely to have attention problems and almost three times more likely to have social problems. Their odds of showing aggression were also more than double those of children without adverse childhood experiences. A child trying to cope and survive has less energy for learning, problem solving, playing and imagination. A child’s emotional distress may also make it harder to concentrate and they may experience post-traumatic stress. One of the first steps to reducing the negative impact of traumatic events on children is to increase awareness about how it can affect development.
