Welcome to April is National Occupational Therapy OT Month and fun National Days from Ms Welburn, Ms Erin and Ms Paula Week ​ ​ #4 AND Special guests! Each week ideas will be shared in hopes to provide all of you with OT support and continued development. ​ ​ Please refer to Weeks 1-3 for previous learning! April 20 - National Look alike Day ​ TWINS! Sometimes they are identical and look alike and sometimes they just ​ ​ look similar. Twins are something very very special. Sometimes ‘siblings’ look-alike’ but are not twins. At J.W. Decas there are many friends who “look alike”. Thank you Hailey, Alexandria, Austin and Logan, Amiyah, and Markus! In making this day special for all of us, maybe you could share something unique about your relationship and friendship with your ‘twin’ and share it with your classroom teacher(s). Some of the ideas could be DRAWING a picture and writing about what your favorite things are to do together. You can also find several activities involving learning and matching. Memory is an easy game to play at home if you have a ​ ​ deck of cards. Simply use only 2 of every suit and try to find 2 cards that ‘look alike’. Here are some other samples below that you can find on various sites such as etsy, pinterest, and Etsy.com Busy Bags & Busy Books Printable for Toddlers & Preschoolers ​ ​ Find ‘look alikes’ from mrsthompsonstreasures.com.(above) ​ ​ Can you find 11 differences, things that are not alike? Here (above) is a learning ‘look alike’ from worksheets.emasscraft.org. ​ https://eatingrichly.com Organizing the plastic container cupboard is an amazing task for children ​ ​ for several reasons: 1. It helps to develop visual-spatial symmetry (math). 2. Supports visual perceptual skills (reading/writing) while identifying similarities and differences. 2. Upper body strength is developed. 3. Using your right and left sides of your body enhances your bilateral coordination while attempting to push on the lids. Teaching all of these skills is important and can easily be done at home with a purpose. Finally which one of these is the same? Since we are ‘all in this together’ matching socks at home continues to be a fun, functional way for our Decas friends to find the ‘look alikes’. Please refer to April 2nd for more information on other sock ideas. Do you see any ‘look alikes’ (below) in the sock picture? How many can you find _____? Man, they have a lot of socks! LOL How many socks does your family have? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8153271/Mother-four-comes-GENIUS-parenting-hack-using-socks.html April 21 - National Kindergarten Day - In kindergarten, we learn about sharing, we learn about caring, and we learn about squares. ​ ​ ​ We learn to be nice, we learn to roll dice, and learn how to draw mice. We learn to play, we learn what to say, and we learn to handle clay. We grow to be strong and we grow to be long, in a place we know we belong. Our Kindergarten Teachers help us with all of this for their ongoing surprises of endless bliss! Compliments of Mrs. McQuade and all her kindergarten students. J.W. Decas 2019-2020 ​ ​ Hello to all our Kindergarten families, students, and teachers! This day is for you. Historically Kindergarten stood for “garden for the ​ ​ ​ children”. It was Friedrich Wilhelm August Frobel who started the very first Kindergarten in Germany in 1837. Frobel was a German ​ teacher who recognized that children learn through play and experience. The first classroom was to help students learn to be with ​ ​ others for social reasons and for transitioning them from home to school more easily. In 1856, here in the United States, the first kindergarten classroom opened in Watertown, Wisconsin. HOW TO OBSERVE: Please send thank you via email, video, special drawing, or any way you can to your Kindergarten teacher on ​ ​ ​ ​ April 21st for the care and genuine compassion that she (or he) has given you in honor of National Kindergarten Day. And FOR YOU, here is some fun stuff from our Kindergarten teachers ! ​ ​ ​ Miss Fitzgerald Miss Fitzgerald used to love playing with friends outside and playing teacher when she was in ​ ​ kindergarten. She had her pile of crayons, pencils, and papers, read books to her friends, and created fun lessons in the neighborhood. Look at her now! Her GOAL of becoming a teacher came true! When she is not teaching, she loves taking her dog for long walks. Here they are after a LONG, HOT walk! She also sends you a fun “Moon Dough” recipe to ​ ​ ​ enjoy. Compliments of Mrs. Wolcott! Ms. Medeiros When Ms. Medeiros was 5 years old and in kindergarten, she loved play centers. Her ​ ​ teacher could always find her at the easel painting a colorful picture. If she wasn’t painting, she was mixing it up in the sand, splashing in the water table, mushing play dough, or dressing up in the dramatic play area. This explains why she loves providing her students with ‘hands-on’ learning. What’s inside?!?? Ewww Sometimes we like to make messes while we learn! We’re making foundations with blocks and clay. We are painting houses for our construction unit. Cubes and blocks, bears, and caves! Who said you can’t make caves with graham crackers and frosting? Owl Moon painting, while Ben catches prey! … all different kinds of beaks with a different kind of beach! Mrs. Greene loved being outside in her safe neighborhood cul-de-sac with her brother and their friends when she was in ​ kindergarten. She loved climbing trees, riding her bike, playing in the sandbox, and running in the field nearby. Her kindergarten teacher said she was a “wiggly” student. She always was moving, but kept learning! Now, she enjoys the beach and stand-up paddleboarding. She still loves to be outside. Mrs. Greene and her students are fans of Author Studies. She loves reading books to her students. She finds engaging books with lovable characters. Mo Willems is one of her favorite authors and illustrators. The Knuffle ​ Bunny Books, (Don’t Let the) Pigeon books, and Gerald and Piggie Books are just a few to add to her list. All of her students enjoy doing an author-related story craft upon completion of the book and comprehension discussion. This helps provide meaning and connection for them. They enjoy acting out parts using reading and language-retell strategies. The children are often asking for extension activities that go beyond the books into greater literacy and learning opportunities including Mo Willems’s “Lunch Doodles”. Manipulating sounds & letters to make words paired with visual supports is fun for all. Mrs. Greene enjoys helping her students learn phonemic awareness, concepts of print and phonics so that they can read and write more independently. Mrs. McQuade - Hello from Mrs. McQuade who, when ​ she was a little girl, filled her room with crayons, paints, and paper. She leaped right into First Grade when she was young. Her town did not have kindergarten classes at the time. When she was 5 years old she LOVED going to see her grandmother. Her mom always found her coloring pictures or making homemade, special things for her grandmother. Now - Mrs. McQuade still loves to ​ ​ draw, paint, and create stuff. If you have been lucky enough to be in her class, you surely made some special things. She also is a BIG FAN of Mr. Ryan Higgins and Bruce. She is never a grump like Mother Bruce. I wonder if she has ever nurtured ​ ​ any goslings… ? Here are 2 of her favorite books for you to enjoy. #1 https://youtu.be/7etbTBS8U90 and #2 https://youtu.be/Hw6JzpBRaJg ​ ​ ​ #KidTimeStoryTime​ ​#kidsbooksreadaloud Mrs. Sampson - Mrs. Sampson remembers spending a lot of time outside when in kindergarten. She loved riding her bike ​ ​ (https://youtu.be/40n56DmQ7L4), jumping rope (https://youtu.be/vVctfW2OCyQ), and hula-hooping ​ ​ ​ ​ (https://youtu.be/sUKBPAw4Nz4). Here are some videos if you want to learn too ! ​ ​ She is staying active as you can see at her home. She even has a basketball hoop! Wow, how fun huh? I wonder how many times she can Hula Hoop around and around and around? Go Mrs. Sampson Go! ​ She is having fun. She has a BIGGER bike now then when she was in kindergarten. I bet she can ride fast. Maybe she has a bike path near her home. Look she has a safety helmet. That is wonderful! Mrs. Pires - When she was in kindergarten, she loved to color with her crayons and markers.

  • "Grammaticality Judgment"
    Prosodic Influence on Syntactic Judgments * Yoshihisa Kitagawa and Janet Dean Fodor Indiana University Graduate Center, CUNY We argue for the importance of controlling prosody in soliciting syntactic judgments. Through the analyses of a variety of complex Wh-constructions in Japanese, we first attempt to reveal that a construction which requires a non-default prosody is vulnerable to misjudgments of syntactic well- formedness when it is presented to the subjects in writing. We then report on our pilot experiments on the comparison of grammaticality judgments of written and spoken sentences in both English and Japanese, which supports our claim. Keywords: implicit prosody, default prosody, parsing, Wh-questions in Japanese, long-distance scrambling, 1. Introduction It appears that there is a rebellion in the making, against the intuitive judgments of syntacticians as a privileged database for the development of syntactic theory. Such intuitions may be deemed inadequate because they are not sufficiently representative of the language community at large. The judgments are generally few and not statistically validated, and they are made by sophisticated people who are not at all typical users of the language. Linguists are attuned to subtle syntactic distinctions, about which they have theories. However, our concern in this paper is with the opposite problem: that even the most sophisticated judges may occasionally miss a theoretically significant fact about well- formedness. In the 1970‟s it was observed that in order to make a judgment of syntactic well- formedness one must sometimes be creative. It was noted that some sentences, such as (1), are perfectly acceptable in a suitable discourse context, and completely unacceptable otherwise (e.g., as the initial sentence of a conversation; see Morgan (1973).

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • Csuri (Charles)
    INTERVIEW WITH CHUCK CSURI JUNE 10, 2003 Q. This is the Ohio State University Oral History Project. This is the Charles Csuri summary deposition, recorded on Tuesday, June 10, 2002. I’m Robert Butche, Principal Historian of the Csuri research, and with me is Charles Csuri. Good morning, Chuck. A. Good morning. Q. I want to start this conversation we’re going to have today with your youth. When were you born? A. I was born July 4, 1922. Q. And the world’s been celebrating ever since? A. Oh yes. Q. Where? A. In Grantown, West Virginia, a small coal mining town. Q. And that was where your father was working as a miner at the time? A. That’s right. Q. And what other members of your family existed when you came along? A. When I came along, my brother Frank, and my brother Steve, were around. Q. And how much older were they? A. Frank was 11 years older and Steve 9 years older than I am. Q. What was life like in Grantown, Virginia in your youth? 1 A. Grantown, West Virginia, small coaling mining town. There was no entertainment. Whatever you could do as a youngster was entertainment. And when you’re young like that I suppose you don’t notice the degree of poverty, the hardship, as much perhaps as one might when they’re older, looking back, especially when I think in terms of what my parents had to endure. We rented a house. The toilet was outside. There was no indoor toilets.

The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.
