    Fishing Fly #2 THREE TRIES Alexis Pauline Gumbs (with Jeremiah Gumbs) three tries Alexis Pauline Gumbs the story as i remember it: Once upon a time in Anguilla there was a little boy named Jeremiah Gumbs. He was the youngest of nine children and they never had enough to eat. One day while little Jeremiah was out fishing with his friends he saw a beautiful rainbow fish. Beautiful, as in, delicious-looking. And big. The rainbow fish wasn’t big for no reason. The rainbow fish was wise and had grown large over the years by avoiding the hooks of the people who fished in the cove. The rainbow fish stayed safely beneath the edge of a rock watching. Keeping guard. But little Jeremiah was hungry. And he had a vision. He decided he would catch the rainbow fish and bring it home to his mother to cook for dinner. He prepared his pole and his line and his hook and tempted the rainbow fish with the most delectable bait he could charm from the grown fishermen. When he lowered the bait near the rainbow fish’s home rock he just knew he would be victorious. The rainbow fish smelled the bait and got curious. You know, fish get hungry too. The rainbow fish peered out from the edge of the rock, but the sun glinted off the edge of the sharp hook. The rainbow fish quickly swam back under the edge of the rock. No way. Not today. Jeremiah went home hungry. His mother fed him and his brothers and sisters with grease, salt tears, 2 three tries Alexis Pauline Gumbs and hard flour rolls left over from what she’d baked for the workers that morning.

  • Field Guide 3 to 4
    How to use the Building a Strong Foundation for School Success Series; Field Guide This field guide was created to offer an easy‐to‐read, practical supplement to the KY Early Childhood Standards (KYECS) for anyone who works with young children birth to four years old. This guide is intended to support early childhood professionals who work in the following settings: home settings, early intervention settings, and center‐based care. The field guide has chapters for each of the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards. Below is a description of the information you will find in each chapter. Each chapter will begin with a brief overview of the standard. In this paragraph, you will find information about what this standard is and the theory and research to support its use. Each chapter contains a section called Crossing Bridges. It is important to understand that the developmental domains of young children often cross and impact others. While a provider is concentrating on a young child learning communication skills, there are other domains or standards being experienced as well. This section tells the reader how this standard supports other standards and domains. For example, you will see that social emotional development of an infant supports or overlaps the infant’s communication development. Each chapter contains a section called Post Cards. This section offers supportive quotes about the standard. In this section, readers will also find narratives, written by early care providers for early care providers. These narratives provide a window into how the standard is supported in a variety of settings. Each chapter contains a section called Sights to See.

Arch, University of Cincinnati, 2001 Committee Chair: David Niland Barry Stedman PhD Thesis abstract Architecture subscribes to ideas of style, consistency and order to give it “legitimacy and legibility”. Dramatic and enriched space is the goal. Adherence to these principles is not always the most appropriate response. Any number of solutions, utilizing different shapes, sizes and configurations are possible. However, clear, contiguous relationships must be drawn between components. By utilizing the perception of shape, color, pattern and light an understandable, geometrically eclectic composition of forms can be created. The design adds to the existing Shedd aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, creating spatial elements under, in and over the lake. New display and information methodologies are explored. The addition incorporates aquatic life from Lake Victoria and East Central Africa. It surrounds visitors with new, immersive forms of display and information. The auditorium is specifically designed for interactions with Lake Michigan storms. The full force of Mother Nature is on display. Thesis Table of Contents I.

  • The Phenomenon of Preschool Children's
    THE PHENOMENON OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN’S SPIRITUALITY . A thesis presented for the requirement for PhD, Doctor of Philosophy at Queensland University of Technology By Anna Giesenberg DipKGT, B.Ed.E.Ch, M.Ed. Supervisor: Associate Professor Dr John Lidstone Associate Supervisor: Dr Peter Bond Anna Giesenberg, 2007 Giesenberg, Anna (2007) “The Phenomenology of Preschool Children’s Spirituality” An abstract of a PhD study looking at young children’s spirituality. School of Cultural and Language Studies in Education, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. Spirituality is discussed as seen in literature from the disciplines of psychology, religion, education, nursing, politics and philosophy. Special emphasis is placed on how spirituality is viewed in regard to young children. From the disciplines mentioned, an overall definition of spirituality – at least for adults - is derived: “Spirituality is an innate ability to show awareness or consciousness of the surrounding world shown through wonder, a sense of compassion, and love towards this world and everything in it, and for some people a relationship with a transcendent being, who can also be immanent in the individual.” Findings are described from a field study of 12 months duration where 56 children, aged 3-7 years, from 4 different early childhood settings were followed on a fortnightly basis. The children were able to express aspects of spirituality in their play, discussions and artwork, such as paintings and drawings. The children were asked to paint and draw their experiences of selected pieces of chamber music, of a beautiful day, of love, and of dreams. In addition children were observed in their interactions with peers.
