SELF, OTHER, AND JUMP ROPE COMMUNITY: THE TRIUMPHS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN by WYNNETTA SCOTT-SIMMONS (Under the Direction of Ming Fang He) ABSTRACT Using Critical Race Theory, Critical Literacy, Black Feminist Thought as a theoretical framework and Oral History as research methodology, the lives of four young African American women are explored as they leave their culturally insular surroundings, “Jump Rope Communities”, to seek access to the codes of power and registers of language in all-White, all-girl, elite private schools during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. In capturing the memories, perceptions, and lived experiences of these women over thirty years later, the journey into a world of divergences was explored--divergent language codes, divergent social, cultural, and economic stratifications, and divergent linguistic expectations, behaviors, and dispositions.

  • 20 Great Asphalt Games
    20 GREAT ASPHALT GAMES Bill Allan, [email protected] , 637-4021 GAMES REQUIRING STENCILS (Stencils available from Bill Allan) 1. Hopscotch with Home Using a pebble or a small object as a marker, the first player will throw it into square 1. They must then jump over this square and proceed through the numbers until they reach the end where they have to turn around and hop back through the course. Remember when there are two numbers side by side, you can put both feet down at the same time! Once completing the course with your marker in position 1, you must throw your rock into square 2 and proceed just as before, however this time make sure you jump over square 2 as this is where your marker is. The player will then continue in this manner until he or she reaches the end or until this player either misses the appropriate square with the marker, or if they’re foot touches a line. If either of these things happens, the player loses their turn and the next player has a go. The first player to have successfully hopped all the way through the course is the winner! 2. Alphabet Hopscotch This game can be played in one of two ways. The first and most common way of playing this game is to jump from A to B, B to C, C to D, and so on without touching any of the lines until reaching the end of the alphabet. This way could be more challenging for younger children as some of the letters could be placed quite a distance from one another and some may not be able to jump that distance! The second way that can be used to play this game is to spell names, places or things and spell them out by jumping to each letter.

  • Playworks Teamup Model Evaluation Year 2 Report 2017-2018
    Playworks TeamUp Model Evaluation Year 2 Report 2017-2018 Key Findings Nine SDP schools implemented Playworks TeamUp, a program that aims to bring high-functioning recess to schools to promote activity levels, social and emotional learning, and a more positive and engaging school climate. The TeamUp model is a part-time Playworks option in which a site-coordinator is present 40 hours per month as a recess consultant. In this report, ORE found: Staffing, climate, and the strength of existing school practices were identified as factors contributing to TeamUp success. Six out of seven principals expressed satisfaction with the Playworks program, but five out of seven reported that the TeamUp model was not the best fit for their school’s level of need. Five out of nine schools were observed to withhold some or all of recess from students, and two schools segregated recess by gender Based on these findings, ORE recommends the following to Sydney Negus, Research Playworks to improve implementation and sustainability of Assistant TeamUp: Melissa Karakus, Senior 1. Align expectations about capacity and outcomes from the Research Associate beginning. 2. Build professional development into the TeamUp model as a requirement for participating schools. 3. Incorporate District policies around recess withholding Office of Research and and gender-segregation into training.

  • Get Moving at Home!
    Get Families Moving at Home Ideas Sourced From: SNAP-ed ECE Toolkit Playworks Sesame Workshop Let's Move Resource Guide Indoor Hopscotch This playground favorite can work on any surface. If you have tile, use the tile squares to identify what squares to use. With carpet or other surfaces, use tape to mark the pattern. Freeze Dance Find your family’s favorite music and turn it up. Have everyone dance until the music pauses. When it does, everyone has to freeze and hold the position they are in. Keep it going over all your favorite songs. Treasure Kids love searching for hidden objects using Hunt clues. Write your clues on some slips of paper and place the first clue somewhere easy for your child to find. Then leave as many clues as you want around the house, making a trail to the final clue. Indoor Bowling You can use water bottles, paper towel rolls, markers or anything else you have around the house as “bowling pins”. Line up 6-10 “bowling pins” and use a soft ball and begin the fun. Take turns bowling and setting up pins. Simon Says 1. First, choose someone to be “Simon.” 2. "Simon" will then make a series of commands to others in the group, which they follow. Examples: walk like a duck, gallop like a horse, touch your toes, balance on one foot, 3. "Simon" begins each command they want the group to follow with “Simon Says." If, however, this is not stated, the command should not be followed. 4. To stay in the game, children only must follow the commands that begin with “Simon Says." If someone follows a command without "Simon Says," they must sit down and wait for the next round.

  • Summer Camp at Monica Ros School
    **Monica Ros School Summer Camp** June 20 – July 29, 2016 9:00am – 2:00pm Camp Day 783 McNell Road, Ojai, CA 93023 www.monicaros.org | 805-646-8184 Summer is coming fast here in Ojai! Monica Ros School is excited to offer six weeks of Summer Camp to all children in the community who will be four by the end of the calendar year, up through those entering 4th grade this fall. Campers will be separated by age: preschoolers and children entering kindergarten in one group, and those students in or entering gradeschool in another, to allow for the most secure and comfortable range of exploration for campers. “IMAGINATION NATION” First Week: June 20 – June24 We kick off Summer Camp with IMAGINATION NATION; campers will create their idea of a perfect land to call their own. Older campers will read the classic My Father’s Dragon and use it for inspiration to draw maps of secret islands, and create fantastic creatures that live in their land. They will live in the book along with the main character: playing pranks on lions, enjoying tangerines, eavesdropping on mice, swimming in the rhino’s weeping pool, and sailing the famous Monica Ros pirate ship. Younger campers will explore the idea of the Monica Ros campus as their own magical nation....they will hunt treasure inside and out, create and follow maps, build forts, and decorate the school with sidewalk chalk. As in all weeks of Monica Ros Summer Camp there is tons of water play, take-home crafts, and a frozen treat each day.
