The children planted flowers for their mothers and practiced a special song for them. The mothers loved coming in for that special day. We also planted flowers outside of our classroom and talked about how to take care of flowers. We watered them each day and watched them grow. We also completed our alphabet study this month by learning letters w, x, y, and z. We completed letter crafts and activities each week for those letters. To practice self-regulation, we learned new partner freeze dance moves to add to our current poses. The children had fun finding a partner and doing those poses during Freeze Dance. We have been working hard preparing for our end of the year Graduation/Celebration Ceremony that will take place the last week of school. The children have been working on two songs. They also will be sharing a “What I want to be when I grow up” poster during the ceremony. They can’t wait! Kindergarten- Mrs. Carnevale In order to prepare for our reading of Lions at Lunchtime, my students listened to and discussed power point presentations about the African savannah, life in the Serengeti for the Maasai and animal adaptations in the savannah. They wrote great summaries about interesting facts they learned and any connections they made. Now, students are making inferences and predictions about Jack and Annie in Lions at Lunchtime. It’s so exciting to try to figure out the third riddle! Students continue to work on essential reading and writing skills in teams and with buddies during learning centers. It’s amazing to see how independent and self-reliant the class has become since September! They have no problem working cooperatively in centers, utilizing resources around them and solving problems in productive ways. They will have no problem transitioning into first grade. I’m so proud of them! Individual reading levels have soared and I’m thrilled that my entire class has learned how to read! Their motivation is inspiring and I’m hopeful that reading will continue over the summer. Page 1 of 50 My students really look forward to math centers every day. In the counting games center, I added a new activity: Tally Tables. Here, students survey friends and tally their responses about various topics… they love this one! Another new and popular center involves Mystery Questions - students work with their team to answer various questions about three dimensional shapes, patterns, numbers and categories. I’ve “upped the challenge” with the I Have Who Has game…. students now solve simple addition problems to keep the game going. It’s so hard to believe that our school year is almost at an end. The class is looking forward to our trip to the farm, field day and end of the year party! It was my pleasure to watch my kindergartners grow in so many ways and I’m so proud of each and every one. They will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Kindergarten- Mrs. Hahn In May, the Kindergartners visited the African Serengeti. Jack and Annie took them on yet another exciting adventure. The children learned all about savanna animals, the habitat and people who live there. In Reading, the students continue to read in their independent reading groups. They are implementing the various reading strategies to help expand their decoding skills. In Writing, the students have been working on creating bigger sentences with more detail. They learned how to revise their work and to peer edit. The students have been very helpful to one another by providing their buddy with great feedback. In Math, the students are learning how to sort objects based on various attributes. We've been sorting all sorts of the things in the classroom. Kindergarten- Mrs. DePalma This is my very last newsletter. It has been a pleasure to teach in such a wonderful district. I have seen many of my students grow up and come back to visit me. Living in town does have its perks. I run into students and their families all the time. So I get to hear what is going on and how they are doing. As for my class, this year I have seen them grow academically, emotionally and socially. I have come to know their parents and grandparents. I have seen the support that is given to my students, have listened to parents concerns, and have given advice on how to help their children organize their work and grow academically. This past month we had our Mother’s Day tea which is always very emotional for the parents. They know this is the end of kindergarten and their child will be moving on to first grade. From now on, the years will fly. We also did some planting, signed a song, sang music, and had our silhouettes made for our Mother’s Day tea. We completed our Jack and Annie Book, “Ghost Town at Sundown,” and this week we will be finishing our last Jack and Annie book, “Lions at Lunchtime.” The children have been writing sentences and using vocabulary well above their age level. Their past test scores showed how much they have improved this year. In math we have completed adding and subtracting and have been working on measuring. We will complete that unit this week. My students are looking forward to field day and their last kindergarten trip. My wish for them is to have a wonderful, healthy, restful, enriching, and safe summer and to return in September full of wonder for the first grade teachers. Page 2 of 50 Kindergarten- Mrs. Pagliocca It is hard to believe that June is here. I have enjoyed watching and helping my kindergarten class grow socially, emotionally and academically for first grade. Each year I find myself thinking that the most rewarding part of my job is to see what the children are able to do when they enter kindergarten and how much they can do at the end. It gives me such pleasure knowing I was a part of their early years of learning. Speech Therapist- Ms. Allen • (2) ESLS Planning Meetings at CED • (2) ESLS Initial Evaluation, Eligibility/IEP meeting completed • (2) ESLS Annual Reviews completed • CST Preschool planning meeting • (2)CST Preschool eligibility meetings • CST Amendment meeting • CST Eligibility/IEP meeting completed • CST Annual Reviews completed • Continued speech instruction for all students working toward complete carryover of accurate sound productions and/or improvement of language goals • Attended outside PD “Successfully Using IPad Apps and Other Crea8ve Ideas in Speech and Language Therapy” Speech Therapist- Mrs. Feinberg • Classroom instruction continues daily working toward complete carryover of accurate sound productions • (2) Initial IEP meetings with parent and teacher (1) in grade 1 and (1) in kindergarten • (3) Annual Reviews conducted with teacher and parent (grade 3, grade 1, kindergarten) • (2) CST eligibility meetings (1st and 2nd grade) • Declassification meeting for (1) second grade student • Evaluation of 1st Grader • Observation of 1st Grader • Served as a judge of Wood-Ridge Memorial Foundation Scholarship applications • Received 2014 Wood-Ridge Memorial Foundation Award Grade 1- Ms. Zielinski During reading, the students continue to use our book bins and independent reading periods to strengthen their individual reading levels. My students are rising to challenges and having fun while they are doing it! We have been working on comparing and contrasting characters within books and identifying characteristics that can make things similar and different. The students have really grown as independent readers and are applying word decoding strategies when coming upon tricky words. This has helped them grow as independent readers and achieve their reading goals in the classroom! In math, the students have had a blast working with plane shapes and geometrical solids. They have leaned ways to identify, sort, and classify these figures. They have also done a lot of hands on work with these shapes, exploring how they can be used to make various other shapes. The students have learned how to identify their vertices as well as their flat sides. Page 3 of 50 In writing, the students have loved working on our creative writing unit. Their favorite thus far has been squiggle writing, in which they take a squiggle, turn it into a picture, and then write a story about their picture with a beginning, middle, and ending. The students have really been doing an excellent job using their imaginations and letting their creative juices flow, all while still applying all of the writing elements learned throughout the year. They have also learned how to peer review with one another, reviewing each other’s work and revising. Grade 1- Mrs. Jupinka Literacy Block: Recently, our themes have been revolved around “Special Friends”. The children continue to be immersed in their independent reading bags. Our spelling patterns, as well as Red Words are becoming more challenging! Math: Our focus has been on Geometry.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION in the Period Immediately Following The
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In the period immediately following the close of the Civil War, philanthropic endeavors were undertaken to reconstruct secessionist states, establish wide-scale peace among still- hostile factions, and develop efforts to enact social, legal, and educational support. This philanthropic era is characterized by the activities of a number of individual, denominational, organizational, including state and federal supporters that were subsequently responsible for engendering a Negro College Movement, which established institutions for providing freed slaves, and later, Negroes with advanced educational degrees. This dissertation studied: the genesis, unfolding, contributions, and demise issues in conjunction with the social, economic, and political forces that shaped one such institution in Harper’s Ferry (Jefferson County), West Virginia: Storer College, which was founded in 1865 as an outgrowth of several mission schools. By an Act of Congress, in 1868, the founders of Storer College initially were granted temporary use of four government buildings from which to create their campus.1 Over the next 90 years, until its closure in 1955, the college underwent four distinct developmental phases: (a) Mission School [Elementary], (b) Secondary Division, (c) a Secondary Expansion, and (d) Collegiate. Even today—as a result of another Act of Congress—it continues to exist, albeit in altered form: in 1960, the National Park Service branch of the United States Department of the Interior was named the legal curator of the 1 United States. Congress. Legislative, Department of War. An Act Providing for the Sale of Lands, Tenements, and Water Privileges Belonging to the United States at or Near Harpers Ferry, in the County of Jefferson, West Virginia (1868).

  • Dressing in American Telefantasy
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy.

  • The Rewritten War Alternate Histories of the American Civil War
    Title The Rewritten War Alternate Histories of the American Civil War By Renee de Groot Supervised by Dr. George Blaustein Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History: American Studies Program Faculty of Humanities University of Amsterdam 22 August 2016 Declaration I declare that I have read the UvA regulations regarding fraud and plagiarism, and that the following thesis is my original work. Renee de Groot August 22, 2016 Abstract The American Civil War (1861-1865) has provided food for counterfactual speculation for historians, journalists, critics, and writers of all stripes for over a century. What if the Confederacy had won? What if the South had abolished slavery? What if Lincoln had lived? What if…? This thesis offers an anatomy of Civil War alternate history as a distinct though eclectic cultural form. It takes apart the most interesting manifestations and reassembles them to show four intriguing functions of this form: as a platform for challenges to narratives of Civil War memory, for counterintuitive socio-economic criticism, for intricate reflections on history writing and on historical consciousness. It shows the many paradoxes that rule Civil War alternate history: its insularity and global outlook, its essential un-creativity, its ability to attract strange bedfellows and to prod the boundaries between fact and fiction. Most importantly, this thesis demonstrates the marriage of sophistication and banality that characterizes this form that is ultimately the

  • Exhibit Development in the Age of Covid William R. Bullard, MA Advisor
    ABSTRACT To Survive or Thrive: Exhibit Development in the Age of Covid William R. Bullard, M.A. Advisor: Julie L. Holcomb, Ph.D. In 2020, the Texas museum field was rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the national protests that broke out after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Using three cultural institutions as case studies (the Pearce Museum at Navarro College, Baylor Libraries, and Rienzi House and Gardens at Museum of Fine Arts Houston) and a survey, this thesis examines the impact of these two events. Each institution had its own struggles to overcome as they dealt with both events. Each institution had to decide: to survive or to thrive., Their decisions can serve as inspiration that can help influence the museum field no matter the differing circumstances.

    1 Same . yet Other: Interpersonal Communication across Alternate Worlds Eleanor Sandry Most everyday experiences of being human involve communication with others, from sharing information and exchanging ideas at work, to agreeing on what to eat for dinner or which television channel to watch at home. Held alongside this conception of routine communication is the assumption that every human is unique and set apart from all others by virtue of their particular individual differences. The psychologist William James describes this idea of selfhood as the “splitting of the universe into two halves” named “‘me’ and ‘not- me’ respectively” (289). The central aim of human communication theory is therefore to explain how people, whose differences mean that they cannot be sure what the other is thinking, are able to interact effectively and understand one another throughout their daily lives. To answer this question, many communication theories position difference between individuals as a problem that must be overcome for successful communication to take place. Whether communication is perceived in terms of accurate information transmission or exchange, gaining persuasive influence, rational discourse and agreement, or the creation of shared social understandings, it is what communicators have in common that is most often judged to be essential for success. However, scholars such as John Durham Peters, Amit Pinchevski, and Briankle Chang contend that difference is also of vital importance in human communication, in terms of the ethical need to respect otherness. A practical argument can also be made to suggest that the other’s position of difference could well offer valuable insights on a particular situation or shared task.

    301 - PROLOGUE Liberty Island - Brainwash Session DOCTOR ANDERSON: Agent Dunham, I'm trying to help you get your life back so that you can go home, back to your life, your job, your family. OLIVIA: This is not my home. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Because you come from another universe? OLIVIA: Yes. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Olivia... What is happening to you, given the nature of your job, the upsetting events you come in contact with on a regular basis, coupled with the injury to your head... It's not surprising your mind has created this fantasy... a means of processing the trauma. OLIVIA: This is not a fantasy. DOCTOR ANDERSON: You agree you are an agent with Fringe Division. OLIVIA: I work for the FBI in Fringe Division... dealing with weird and mysterious events that threaten the safety of the United States and its residents. DOCTOR ANDERSON: Good.

  • Invasion, Surveillance, Biopolitics, and Governmentality: Representations from Tactical Media to Screen
    INVASION, SURVEILLANCE, BIOPOLITICS, AND GOVERNMENTALITY: REPRESENTATIONS FROM TACTICAL MEDIA TO SCREEN Michael V DelNero A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2016 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Scott C. Martin Graduate Faculty Representative Lara Lengel, Co-Advisor Clayton Rosati Alberto Gonzalez © 2015 Michael V. DelNero All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala and Lara Lengel, Co-Advisors This study situates invasion as a form of what Michel Foucault called governmentality. According to Foucault, governmentality determined how a society was ruled and by whom it was ruled, and under what conditions. A central argument in this dissertation is that invasion, both actual and imagined, has become a fundamental means of governing the population and body, and is as much a productive force as it is destructive. Turning to media representations across a variety of formats, this study examines four key case studies. The first is the Critical Art Ensemble, a tactical media group whose work designed to expose the working of the corporate food supply brought them into direct conflict with the federal authorities. Along these lines, this study argues that tactical media functions as both a form of surveillance and governmentality. Another tactical media group analyzed is the Yes Men, who use their own bodies and the visage of corporate America to expose the often twisted logic at work. This study then turns to representations on film and television, analyzing the film Cloverfield (2008) and the science fiction television series Fringe, both of which rely heavily in the tropes of invasion.

  • Bolivia Sits and Looks at a Peaceful Image on a Nearby Monitor While Her Physician Draws Blood
    Obstetrics Exam - Viral Worries (Bolivia sits and looks at a peaceful image on a nearby monitor while her physician draws blood from her arm and her mom waits at her side) ROSA OPORTO: You're almost done. MARILYN DUNHAM: How long ‘til we get the results? ROSA OPORTO: I arranged to have the labs run in house. We'll know by the end of the day. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Well, you know, if Rachel was a carrier, then... MARILYN DUNHAM: Honey, you are a different person than your sister. Nothing is set in stone. (to the physician) Rosa, would you please talk to her? ROSA OPORTO: Viral Propagated Eclampsia is dormant until pregnancy and undetectable before eight to ten weeks. So until we get the results of today's screening, nothing is certain. You may not be a carrier at all. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Okay. But it's hard to believe that when the odds are eighty percent that I am. ROSA OPORTO: On average. And, yes, the fact that Rachel had VPE puts you in the highest risk group. It's okay to want to prepare yourself. Look... I know it's easier said than done, but my best advice to both of you is take it a step at a time. Return Trip - Mom Support (Marilyn drives her daughter back to the apartment to drop her off after her pre-natal exam) MARILYN DUNHAM: (consoling) Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's still a chance. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Mom, you weren't listening, were you? There is an eight out of ten chance that I'm a carrier, and if I am, there's only a handful of cases where either a mother or a baby survive delivery with VPE.
