Using the most reliable data and research on child well-being, the Children’s Campaign champions programs related to early childhood education, children’s health and K-12 education that help realize every chance for every child to succeed. As the leading voice for kids in the state, the Children’s Campaign has been at the forefront of hundreds of program wins for families across Colorado. Among the programs that we have worked to advance in recent years are Universal Pre-K, free full-day kindergarten, eliminating school lunch copays, expanding healthcare access and coverage for kids, and building equity into our school finance and funding mechanisms so that all students have what they need to thrive.

    Fall Fun Campbell Elementary 5th Grade Gloria Cuellar-Kyle Get ready to discover mathematics all around you this fall! Just like reading, regular practice with problem solving, computation, and math facts will maintain and strengthen the mathematic gains you have made through the school year. Enjoy these activities to explore problem solving at home. The goal is for you to have fun thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical ideas. While you are working ask how the solution was found and why a particular strategy helped you to solve the problem. Fall Fun Campbell Elementary 5th Grade Gloria Cuellar-Kyle Math Journals are an excellent tool for helping children record their perceptions about math and the strategies they employ to arrive at a solution. A math journal is a book in which children record their math work and thinking. At home a math journal can be used to: Record the solutions to math problems or projects , along with the strategy and thought processes used to arrive at the solution o For instance a math problem or project may require some time (perhaps days) to arrive at a solution and a math journal helps children to reflect on their thought processes as well as strategies that did and did not work. Write about learning: When children students are asked to reflect on their math learning. For example, children may be asked to write about "what you already know about ......" before beginning an activity or "think about what you did today, what your learned, and any questions you have", or "the three most important things you learned from this activity." These opportunities to journal provide children with metacognitive occasions to think about their thinking or consider points that were not clear.

  • Lesson from a Yahtzee Game the Benefits of Going with Your Gut by JT (Jerry) Fest
    JTFest Consulting Training & Consultation visit the Online Library at www.in4y.com Lesson From a Yahtzee Game The benefits of going with your gut By JT (Jerry) Fest Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level ~ Joyce Brothers In another article (Instinct Trumps Training) I suggested that we learn to professionally respond in situations rather than be slaves to our instincts. In this article I suggest the exactly the opposite, that we should trust our instincts. Contradiction? Not really. It’s more a matter of semantics. In the other article, the “instincts” I was referring to were our ingrained, almost involuntary reactions that are rooted in emotions … fear, anger, loss of control. We often experience these emotions in youth work, and it’s critical that we learn to recognize them so that we may respond appropriately according to our training, rather than react reflexively according to our emotions. The “instincts” I refer to in this article are those “gut level” feelings we have that are really nothing more than the sum of our experience and knowledge telling us the right thing to do. Emotional reactions are instincts that often do not serve us well in youth work … gut level feelings based on experience and knowledge often serve us very well. I was reminded of this in a recent game of Yahtzee. If you’re not familiar with Yahtzee, it’s a dice game where you have 3 rolls to get certain scores or combinations with 5 dice. In this particular game, the situation I was in was that I needed my 4 of a kind.

  • UMTSD Summer Math for Incoming 5Th Graders
    UMTSD Summer Math for Incoming 5th Graders Dear Parents/Guardians: The UMTSD has designed this Summer Mathematics Packet in order to keep your child’s math skills honed and current through the summer break. The attached packet includes three “bingo boards” of activities. The goal is to complete four activities in a row, or the four corner boxes, on each board. Each possible combination of four boxes on a board includes one of the following: ● Family Activity: These family activities are designed to take advantage of typical ​ everyday activities and focus on the math involved. ● Story Problem: These story problems focus on the major content that the students ​ have worked on during the school year. Children may use numbers or drawings to keep track of their thinking as they work and should be encouraged to use strategies familiar to them. Only the final answer needs to be recorded in the bingo board box. If your child wishes to include his/her work, attach it to the board when it is returned to school. ● Game to Practice Facts and Computational Skills: The simple game directions are ​ written in the bingo board boxes. Game play requires a deck of cards and dice. ● Free Choice Game: Students may select from a variety of options to complete this ​ ​ task. Options include playing identified math games online or using the directions included in the free choice table. Options are listed on the back of this letter. Please work with your child to complete four tasks on the June board, four tasks on the July board, and four tasks on the August board.

  • A Person Got Mad at Hasbro for Ruining Board
    The Last Word™ Issue #518 December 2017 More money goes up Spectrum’s rectum We were jumping for joy once we didn’t have to use Cincinnati Bell for anything anymore. ZoomTown blocking websites because of their content was the final assault. We had Clearwire for a while, before Sprint took it over and shut it down. This forced us to pay slightly more to get Time Warner instead. Still, Time Warner—like Clearwire—had much more reliable service than the ridiculously slow and censorious ZoomTown ever did. It all came crashing down when Time Warner was taken over by Charter Communications, which uses the brand name Spectrum—or as I call it, Rectum. (Charter and Spectrum are the same, much like how ULH&P and CG&E were the same. CG&E must have stood for Chewing Gum & Elmer’s, because it seemed like that’s what was holding together all their power lines.) Rectum vowed no rate increases. That was a lie. Shortly thereafter, my Internet rates went up. Now it went up yet again—from $55.58/month to a whopping $75.58. My face hit the ceiling when I got my bill. I went on the customer service chat on Rectum’s website to ask if they had cheaper Internet plans. They said they didn’t. That too turned out to be a lie. I then called Rectum and found out they did have a cheaper plan—for “only” $69.99/month. Here’s what happened: Rectum got rid of their “cheap” plan I had been using—which was still mighty expensive—and signed me up for a plan that wasn’t even their cheapest! They didn’t even tell me they were changing my plan! They actually thought I was too dumb to check my bill.
