Push Parents Into Doing: In her case she was absolutely right, and while she heard him read occasionally, he went most of the time to his grandfather. Perhaps as he becomes a more competent reader he will out up with his mother's 'bossiness'. Needless to say, it is not helpful for teachers to try to push parents into doing something they feel they cannot do; en-:ourage by all means, or look for other solutions, but pushing nay only make a parent feel more incompetent.
Children learn first and foremost from their parents. In this respect all parents are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
Capture: Spider never jumps; when disturbed, it retreats to farthest corner of its ragged web; push broom into web against spider, which usually remains quietly among bristles; with small stick gently push it from broom into quart jar
The black widow spider is included in this discussion, first, because it is the only spider that is, to date, known to be deadly to man; second, because it is so common across the country that children should be taught to recognize it (knowledge is necessary for protection); third, because it can be easily maintained in captivity without fear, and its habits observed. |
