    MUSIC EDVENTURES NEWS AND NOTES An Association of SongWorks Teachers November 2016 Fro m the President Hello MEI Community, As some of you know, I have a twin sister! My sister and I are similar in many ways, but here is one difference—she very recently took her first plane ride at the age of 30, and mine was a little over 10 years ago. I was a sophomore in college, and my friend Becky and I were Ruthanne Parker headed to Minnesota for a little fun. We stayed at a hotel with a Wyncote, PA restaurant that had delicious food, fabulous pool, and—to our delight, a free shuttle to the famous Mall of America. We had to go! We decided to venture out to the mall, even though the forecast called for a major blizzard. We thought “this is Minnesota, snow doesn’t affect them!” Of course, after enjoying some Orange Julius smoothies and rides, we found out the mall would be shutting down due to the blizzard. A very nice and brave cab driver (as you might guess the hotel shuttle was not operating at this point) drove us back to the hotel, and we went to bed early to rest up for the next day. We were meeting up with a very energetic, passionate, fun, and intelligent group of people and wanted to be on top of our game.

    Female Pop Diva Adoration: Fandom in the Gay Community A comparative study of how millennial gay men in Lebanon and the Netherlands give meaning to western female pop divas Student Name: Ramzi Bou Moughalabie Student Number: 537509 Supervisor: Dr. Simone Driessen Master Media Studies - Media & Creative Industries Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master’s Thesis June, 2020 Female Pop Diva Adoration: Fandom in the Gay Community ABSTRACT This study examines how millennial gay men in Lebanon and the Netherlands give meaning to western female pop divas. The research explores this phenomenon by answering the research question: How do millennial gay men in Lebanon and the Netherlands give meaning to western female pop divas? It does so by drawing on 14 in-depth semi structured interviews conducted with millennial gay men, out of which 5 were drag performers, all between the ages of 21 and 29 years old, from both Lebanon and the Netherlands. This, to compare the impact of western female pop divas on the lives of gay fans living in and outside of the western world. The data from the interviews was analyzed using a thematic analysis method, with five main themes being identified. First, the study found that growing up gay in a patriarchal society, most participants tend to listen to pop music in order to escape their homophobic realities. Second, the participants also believe that they face similar struggles as women in society and have thus started looking up to pop divas as they see them as powerful and strong female figures that they can emulate.

The Iowa Core Curriculum essential concepts have been embedded at appropriate places, bolded, and identified with (ICC). Not all ICC may be appropriate at a given grade level, but by the time a student reaches second grade, all the primary ICC core concepts will have been taught. RELIGION 1.

Next, in stage 2, are the various ways that the mastery of guiding ideas are assessed. Finally, in the sections labeled stage 3, teachers can then choose from a variety of lessons or formats which address the particular needs and interests of the class, as they address the learning goals. Standards While the NJ state department of education has not specified any set curriculum guidelines for Gifted and Talented education, the Chesterfield Township School District had incorporated various State Curriculum into our framework. Significantly, the state 21st Century Life and Careers Standards have been integrated, as well as standards from the Common Core Literacy and Math, and other subject area standards. These include standards in Health/Physical Education, Art, Music, Social Studies, and Science.

  • Supporting Your Child's Social and Emotional Development
    TIPS FOR PARENTS Supporting Your Child’s Social and Emotional Development 4Cs of Alameda County | www.4calameda.org You can see your child learning so much in the first five years! But some of the most important learning is about things you can’t see. Children’s emotions and relationships in their earliest years are the basis of all their future growth and development. And their relationships with parents - and any other primary caregivers - are the most important of all. Here are six key lessons that babies and young, children need to learn, and some ways you can help. 1. “I AM SAFE AND LOVED” The first and most important thing babies need to learn is that they can trust you to take care of them and meet their needs. They need to feel safe and loved in order to learn and grow. Their strongest sense of safety comes from their bond, or “attachment,” with you and other important caregivers. You can: Provide “responsive” care: When your baby cries, when your toddler has a prob- lem -- try to help. Even if you can’t fix 2. “I ENJOY RELATING TO OTHER PEOPLE” everything, you’re letting your child know you’re there for him. Watch and listen to Your relationship with your child shows him that your child, pay attention to what he interacting with other people is enjoyable and wants and needs, then try to meet those lets him experience the give-and-take of needs if you can. (And remember to take relationships. You can: care of yourself too!
