Download or read book Active Bodies Active Brains written by Mary Ellen Clancy and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2006 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active Bodies, Active Brainsoffers a wealth of physical activities to help kids develop physical, social, and cognitive skills. Based on cutting-edge research in brain compatibility, these games and activities help children -increase their ability to focus; -integrate their movement with thinking, thus enhancing development of neural pathways; -improve memory; -open up more areas of the brain to participate in learning; -reduce stress and enhance positive feelings to increase their learning; and -include physical activity in their daily lives. Active Bodies, Active Brainsprovides you with 66 activities and games--and it shows you how to easily modify and extend those to create numerous additional games. Indeed, by applying the techniques in this book, you can create an endless supply of brain-compatible physical activities while helping your participants build cognition, health-related fitness, and physical skills. Based on current brain-based practices, including Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Active Bodies, Active Brainsincludes 66 cross-curricular critical-thinking activities that are aligned with national physical education standards. Because the activities call for common equipment and supplies that you most likely already have, your costs and prep time will be low. That prep time is further reduced by an activity finder that helps you find the appropriate activity at a glance. In each activity, kids are put in situations where they have to think critically--they learn how to think while they have fun moving. This movement-learning relationship is bolstered by research showing that movement enhances comprehension. Choose from numerous ways to both prompt learning and add variety. In addition to adapting games, you'll find ideas on the following: -Sequencing the activity differently -Considering the task from differing points of view -Identifying the reasoning used -Asking kids to think about their thinking processes -Figuring out what information is relevant to the task at hand Many teachers find they have less activity time because of the No Child Left Behind legislation, and the reduced activity time doesn't help kids learn. With its high-quality activities that are easy to facilitate, Active Bodies, Active Brainsis the perfect antidote for reduced activity time. Infused with brain-compatible strategies and critical-thinking challenges, this book will help students transfer the physical and thinking skills practiced and learned to other physical activities. And they'll become more physically skilled--and mentally adept--in the process.

Both of their parent breeds, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise, are well-loved because of how personable and cute they are. Given how friendly and snuggly their parents are, it is no surprise that the Cavachon is an ardent cuddle pup that loves little more than to be with the family. With their small stature, they make an incredibly versatile dog that fits into any environment with ease. If you have a small home and want a dog that can easily be accommodated within a limited space, the Cavachon is perfect. When you are sitting down and enjoying your favorite TV show, your Cavachon will happily cuddle up on your lap. Petting your pup will become a secondary reaction to sitting, and it can be very relaxing. This is one reason why Cavachons also make great therapy dogs. They tend to love everyone, and their happy energy is more sedate than other small dogs. This does not mean they don’t love adventure –they just appreciate relaxing with you because being with you is what makes them happiest. If you are the more adventurous type, the Cavachon is still a great dog to have because they are so curious. With their intelligence, they will be more than happy to go out hiking with you. As you begin your journey toward Cavachon ownership, let this book guide you along in the process. It will help you prepare from the very beginning stages of choosing your Cavachon, to bringing it home, training, socializing, feeding, and even growing old with your Cavachon.

Download or read book Honoring God with Body and Mind written by Steven D. Hoogerwerf and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how it would look to live out a Christian sexual ethic amid the varied and confusing sexual messages that are part of modern culture? Does the Christian tradition provide us with a way to think about and act on our natural, God-given sexual desires? Honoring God with Body and Mind invites readers to consider these questions—and some ways of answering them—by guiding them into a conversational style of moral reflection. Unlike many books about Christians and sex, this one doesn’t simply tell you what to do (or not to do). Instead, you will be led to think about how the meaning of sex can provide sexual boundaries, but also how the relational dimension of sex and the virtue of sexual integrity can provide a context for sexual decision-making. Informed by many years of conversations with college students, the author also invites you to think about practical questions such as these: Can men and women be friends without the complications of sexual attraction? If I haven’t always included Christian values in my sexual practices and carry some painful memories and regrets, is there any hope of healing? What is lust? Is masturbation sinful? Can virginity be reclaimed?

This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Art & Trauma? By making their own choices as they engage in sensory art experiences, children gain confidence, release stress, express emotions, and develop critical-thinking skills.

This highly illustrated and easy-to-use resource supports trauma-informed work with children ages 3-8. It delves into both the theory and practice of therapeutic art and includes 21 original art lessons and 60 art techniques, all presented visually for ease of use. Both text and illustrations demonstrate how to create a safe, non-retraumatizing environment for children to experience safety, connection and calm. Ideal for implementing into classroom environments, including preschools, kindergarten, early primary grades, afterschool programs, child counselling centers and community-based youth programs, this professional resource is perfectly adaptable for a variety of educational and therapeutic contexts.
Download or read book Maid written by Stephanie Land and published by Legacy Lit. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide (Barack Obama)," this New York Times bestselling memoir is the inspiration for the Netflix limited series, hailed by Rolling Stone as "a great one." At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night, writing relentlessly as she worked toward earning a college degree. She wrote of the true stories that weren't being told: of living on food stamps and WIC coupons, of government programs that barely provided housing, of aloof government employees who shamed her for receiving what little assistance she did. Above all else, she wrote about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor. Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, determination, and ultimate strength of the human spirit. "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide, a description of the tightrope many families walk just to get by, and a reminder of the dignity of all work." -PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, Obama's Summer Reading List
