Walpole Public Schools Elementary Summer Reading Program Walpole Public Schools Elementary Summer Reading Program Dear Parents and Students: Research tells us that when students don’t read for two months their skills regress. Reading is a skill which requires practice, just like baseball or math facts. Summer reading helps students of all ages keep their skills sharp so they are ready when school begins again in the fall. Reading throughout the summer not only enhances basic reading skills of young students, it creates unique opportunities for learning, exploring, and growing. The Walpole Public Schools Elementary Summer Reading Program is designed to promote reading and learning as enjoyable activities. The following is a suggested guide to authors, resources and activities for children to share their reading experiences. Please choose any title that may interest you from any other sources. Magazines, graphic novels, audio books and eBooks also provide valuable educational experiences. We strongly encourage parents to read aloud, including to those children who are already independent readers. In addition to being a wonderful family activity, children increase their listening vocabulary which improves their comprehension. It also allows them to develop interests beyond their reading levels. This summer there is one requirement: Students entering grades 1­5 are required to complete one sharing activity which will contribute to the first term grade in literacy. The directions and pages for this activity are attached along with a summary and an example of the product. During the first two weeks of school in September, the children should return the assignment to their new teacher (by September 11); their projects will be displayed in their classrooms. A special school recognition will be awarded to any student who participates in this program. The Walpole Public Library offers a summer reading program and events to celebrate reading. Check out the schedule at http://www.walpolelibrary.org/events.asp The Showcase Cinemas at Patriot Place offer free story times every week during the summer.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term!

COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • La Lengua De Las Mariposas a Film Based on Spanish Civil War
    Centre for European and Latin American Studies Jamia Millia Islamia European Studies Programme presents La Lengua de las Mariposas a film based on Spanish Civil War La Lengua de las Mariposas/Jose Luis Cuerda/ Spain/ Spanish/1999/94min Veteran director Jose Luis Cuerda delivered this sensitive portrait of a child coming of age during a tense political situation just before the Spanish Civil War. On his first day of school, frail eight- year-old Moncho (Manuel Lozano) is so terrified by the imposing figure of his teacher Don Gregorio (Fernando Fernan Gomez) that he flees into the nearby woods. In spite of his authoritarian appearance, the schoolmaster proves to be a kind, free-thinking Republican who teaches Moncho the virtues of being good. The boy is soon spending much of his time with the elderly Gregorio in the Galician countryside, admiring such wonders of nature as the tongue of a butterfly. Other people in young Moncho's world include his down-to-earth mother (Uxia Blanco), his Republican father, and his older brother, who plays the saxophone with a group of local musicians. However, when the Fascists roll into town, the boy's life changes forever. La Lengua de las Mariposas was screened at the 1999 San Sebastian Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/la-lengua-de-las-mariposas-butterfly-butterfly-tongues/ AV Hall, Nelson Mandela House,at 11 am on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 La Lengua de las Mariposas Author : SkyKid Many authors compare it with such classics of the coming of age genre as the Italian Cinema Paradiso ( the central youngster/father-figure relationship, as well as some of its bittersweet nostalgia) or the Czech film Kolya.

    UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition FRAN*6410 Developmental Assessment and Intervention with Children and Adolescents COURSE OUTLINE Winter 2012 Class Meetings: Wed. 11:30 – 2:20 Instructor: Dr. Susan Lollis Office: FACS 227C Phone: 824-4120, Ex. 53003 E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: By appointment – please use email Objectives: In this course we will discuss issues of childhood and adolescence and how these issues relate to assessment and intervention. Theoretical models and classification systems presently available for describing childhood issues will be critically evaluated. Ethical issues particular to working with children will be addressed. A select list of psychological issues will be studied in depth. Making referrals, various methods of assessment (Child Interview, Parent Interview, Family Interview, Structured Assessment, Observation, Community Contact) and Intervention (School Programming, Community Contact, Individual Child Therapy, Child and the Family Therapy) will be surveyed with the goal of understanding the range of available community resources, assessment techniques and intervention strategies. Lastly, issues related to the planning and integration of multiple services to children may be discussed. There are 4 main objectives in this course: 1. To introduce class members to the theory and practice of assessment, including issues in measurement, formal and informal techniques, and methods of assessment with respect to individuals, families, and environments in which children are often found. 2. To provide class members with a critical understanding of the role assessment can play in helping children, by heightening awareness of what type of information assessments can provide, thus learning if, when, and how to refer a child or the child’s family for assessment.
