Parent Survey Results 42 Surveys Turned In Golden Community Center Preschool Programs 2019-20 Program Evaluation *Your comments are valued to help us make a successful preschool program for children and families. Please use any space available. COMMUNICATION Staff welcomes parents and encourages a friendly relationship. 1 41 Staff responds to any questions and concerns in an appropriate and 2 40 timely manner. I feel my child’s teachers built a positive relationship with my child 1 41 throughout the year. Were you able to have a parent/teacher conference? Yes No If no why not? Would you recommend our preschool program to others? Yes (40) Maybe (2) No From what source did you get the most of the information about our school program and news? Teachers What is a preferred way you would like for us to Emails communicate? Website Emails PRESCHOOL PROGRAM Our program philosophy is “Learning Through Play.” I understand 42 how this is age appropriate for preschoolers and I am satisfied with the philosophy. I recognize positive changes in my child’s communication, social 42 growth due to the program curriculum. Children are encouraged to explore their environment and make 42 choices in their daily activities. PRESCHOOL ACTIVITIES Activities are age appropriate and of good quality. 42 I am aware of classroom themes and feel the activities go with the 42 learning themes. Was your child able to participate in the online learning? Most of the time - 30 Sometimes - 8 It didn’t fit our needs - 4 What did you like/dislike about online learning? *Not a replacement for in person learning, but it was nice to have something for my child to look forward to. *Like: Teachers reading stories, webex meetings with circle time and a chance for the students to share, lesson plans for the week sent all at once (instead a new email everyday)Dislike: We don’t have a printer so some of the handout we couldn’t use. If online learning continues into the fall we might need to buy one. * My child loved seeing his friends and teachers. He enjoyed sharing. * It was great to see the teachers! Sometimes we got kicked out of the online groups. Zoom worked better. * My child just wasn’t interested in the online meetings/circle time. Teachers did excellent job, just wasn’t for Jaxon * We loved that lesson plans and resources were sent to us each week. The Zoom calls were a little too long for our son. We had him do 1 for 20 min./week. We were very impressed with the teachers and their ability to adapt to teaching online. *I really liked the structure as a parent to know I can do all of these activities to participate in their learning. My son really didn’t like the online meetings and it was a huge struggle to get him to do them and stay there. He loves his teacher and friends so this was really strange for us. He also stopped in willingness to do school work. He is an extrovert so I think being around people in person was encouraging for him to do the work. I am trying to think of ways to encourage him while being isolated. *I thought you guys handled it really well. You kept it short so the kids didn’t get too antsy, and unmuted kids one at a time so that it wasn’t chaos. Our only complaint is just that we (obviously) wish there was no pandemic so Danny could have been with his wonderful teachers in person! *I think the amount of time was perfect for the age group to keep their attention most of the time and I like that Claire had some exposure to online learning going into next year. *My kid is still digital analphabet *I liked that it incorporated things they had already done in class, I liked it since it was something familiar. * It worked best when we were in a room without distractions (hard to find ) Everyone is sleeping in and staying up later, so we were sometimes running late to our 9:00 meeting (crazy, I know) It was hard to remember to mute other kids, but definitely helped when everyone was muted. *We don’t do any screen time at home so we weren’t sure about it at first, but it worked really well! Josie loved seeing her teachers and friends. The teachers did a great job with the online learning. *In the larger groups, it was challenging for my kiddo to feel heard and involved. It often seemed like 1-2 kids would get called on far more than others. *I liked that he was able to participate in a class-like setting and interact with his teachers. It also gave me ideas for activities and things for us to do/focus on. The books read by the teachers were awesome b/c we could watch them whenever we had a few free minutes. The only hard part of the virtual classes for us was scheduling it within our day so that we would be home and inside during the lesson. We were often rushing in from a walk to make it in time or waiting inside for it to start (which doesn't bode well for Ali and his brother! haha!). I think the teachers did an excellent job adapting. *Just not ideal for preschoolers *It was great having the virtual meetings and the kids could see each other and sing songs. I also loved the activities given and books recorded by the teachers. *It was hard for my child to stay completely engaged (due to age), but he liked seeing his teachers and the familiarity of the routine. *the online teaching was not for us. Tommy participated sometimes, but it was something that could not keep his attention. *It’s just not the social interaction that preschool is supposed to be, but you did the best you could. I appreciate it. Do you believe that your child(ren) learned the necessary skills for kindergarten readiness (if applicable)? *I feel my child learned so many skills that will prepare him for success in the future. He learned academic skills as well as emotional and social which is amazing! *I loved the social emotional focus. I feel my child will be better able to handle kindergarten. *I don’t think that he is ready to go this year. Especially after watching and listening to the kids in his class on the online meetings. I think another year with you all will get him right where he needs to be. *Yes, I think he’s ready. * Yes, I believe Oliver will take another year in preschool because he is young and still needs to work on personal responsibility items like packing up belongings, etc. He also needs to work on emotional self confidence and confidence in playing with others. *I think so? But I don’t have a clear sense of what kindergarten readiness means. More direct feedback on this topic from the teachers would have been helpful. *Yes! I am so glad that Ali got another year of preschool at the GCC. He is so ready for kindergarten now. The improvements he made over the last 3 months of classroom learning were huge! *Yes, absolutely. Claire started reading Bob books this week. She is ready and incredibly proud of herself (as am I!). J *Yes, she was always talking about the new things she learned at school. *I loved how the teachers made group time engaging, but still focused on lots of skills like counting and letters. I feel my child is more than ready for kinder! *Yes, yes, yes! The teachers did a great job getting my kiddo ready! What was the best thing you or your child enjoyed about GCC Preschool? *The teachers and her friends * I enjoyed the experience at Golden recreation center and I liked the teachers very much. I thought everybody was welcoming and very helpful. Tommy enjoyed going to school and really did not like it when he had to miss it. *“Dramatic play, I liked everything” I loved the relationships she built, the enthusiasm for learning that grew, the kind and nurturing teachers (all the teachers, the subs, music, etc.). *Community feel *The teachers, they made my child feel loved and heard. *Playing with friends, interacting with teachers *Everything! When I picked up my child from school, she was always so happy to talk about her day! * Socializing, playing, helping *The community, the great teachers and staff, how much you guys love our kids! *We love the community aspect of your program, the teachers are amazing and truly care about the kids, the learning through play, amazing leadership and and everyone works together to provide the best experience for the kids and families. *The parent involvement. I loved getting the weekly lessons so I knew what was going on. I also think the small school let’s it feel like we are this tight knit special family. *Danny felt so loved and supported there. You all were a God-send to us after a difficult move, and you made all the difference to Danny in terms of his adjustment to our new town and his ability to make really good friendships. The best thing about his experience was definitely the teachers and staff. Danny draws a lot of comfort from authority figures that he can trust, and he trusted you all implicitly and felt really comfortable and safe with you. Thank you! *Great relation with pears, good * He liked drawing his name, playing outside and playing with his friends.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • CORE WORD: Special Recasting WAYS WE CAN
    CORE WORD: Special For Educators, Related Service Providers and Parents Recasting Recasting is a helpful strategy that assists individuals who use AAC gain expressive grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. When the communication partner immediately responds to utterances by modeling or ‘recasting’ a more expansive version of their message, (e.g., STUDENT: “want crackers” ADULT: “I want more crackers, please.”), this provides a dynamic interaction where there is no expectation of repetition. It is recommended that the strategy of RECASTING is utilized frequently and vocally emphasized by changes in loudness and pause time. (Parker, 2012). WAYS WE CAN USE THE WORD ASK QUESTIONS (e.g., is this special to you?) AFFIRM (e.g., This is special) NEGATE (e.g., this isn’t special) FLIRT (e.g., you are special) COMPLEMENT (e.g., you are a special person) ROUTINES AND SCHEDULES Circle: At circle time adults and students can each bring a special item to talk about with the class. Snack time: Adults and students can talk about what foods are special to them (e.g., a family recipe, a favorite snack, etc.). PLAY 1 Students can roll a ball of yarn to other students and say something special about whomever has the ball of yarn in their hands. READING Here are some suggested books on YouTube that can assist in teaching the core word: Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, courtesy of Storytime at Awnie’s House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3cmddZh6t8&t=198s&ab_channel=StoryTi meatAwnie%27sHouse This book is about a special fish and how he likes being special.

Mary thinks God sent Ellie, who shares a royal blood line that has rumored supernatural powers and wants her to marry Thad. This occurs in the eccentric, fictional town of Bayou Louisiana, where very real current Southern trends like "Haunted AirBnBs" (which her current family run from their dilapidated castle) occur. Ellie's Bucher family relives Confederate battles to deny losing the Civil War, while Ellie denies her past trauma of parental loss to survive it. But, Ellie has a mid-life crisis and all the insanity of her culture comes at a price that she can no longer pay as her own personal Armageddon comes crashing through her castle door. v FADE IN: EXT.
