Read Across America 2019

Read Across America 2019 Huntington Learning Center joins teachers, educators, parents, children and others around the country to celebrate Read Across America, the annual reading motivation and awareness program created by the National Education Association (NEA). Historically, Read Across America Day has been recognized on the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, the beloved childrens author. The NEA event is now considered a year-round reading program intended to motivate children and teens to read through events, partnerships and reading resources. To celebrate a diverse nation of readers, NEA created the Read Across America 2018-2019 Calendar with recommended books, activities, authors and teaching resources that represent an array of experiences and cultures. We are a nation of diverse people and backgrounds, which is what makes our country so special, saysEileen Huntington of Huntington Learning Center. Huntington is pleased to celebrate Read Across America and share the NEAs reading calendar and other resources with students as a way to broaden their horizons and enrich their reading experiences. And of course, at the heart of our celebration is honoring Dr. Seuss, who entertained and inspired readers young and old with his gift of storytelling and making us smile. We proudly recognize Read Across America in his name. To encourage children to adopt a regular reading habit, we offer parents these tips: Go to the library. Make regular trips to the library a part of your family routine. Parents should let their children choose their own books and lean on the librarians for good suggestions. Make reading a nightly ritual. A reading habit has many benefits for children. Parents can make it a family activity to turn off the electronics, get cozy and read for 30 minutes before bedtime. Build the library. Parents can encourage reading by making sure their children are never short on reading material. Build the collection with both favorite books and magazines. Participate in library activities. Libraries usually offer a range of activities for children and teens, including book clubs, author events and read-a-thons. These kinds of activities can be fun for children and a wonderful way to associate reading with enjoyment. Keep reading aloud. Theres something special about reading a family book together. Even as children grow older, this is an enjoyable way for children and parents to connect over something in common. Talk about books. Sure, children write book reports in school, but its also fun for them to be able to talk with their parents about what they read. Parents can offer a listening ear and make the books their children read part of their dinner conversation. March includes several other reading and literacy programs, including National Reading Month, Womens History Month and World Poetry Day (March 21).

Teacher talk Teaching overseas as a person of color

Teacher talk Teaching overseas as a person of color Alexandra Capistrano, one of our placement coodinators here at Teach Away, took some time to tell us more about her experience teaching English in Japan as a person of color. Read below to gain insight into her day-to-day interactions and how she felt her experience may have differed from others. In the summer of 2012, I hopped on a plane to teach English in Japan. I stepped out of the airport in Nagoya into the suffocating humidity with a heart full of good intentions and wide-eyed naiveté, excited for this new chapter of my life. I fumbled my way through setting up a bank account, acquiring a cell phone, and explaining to a disgruntled streetcar driver why I had dragged a double-sized futon onto his vehicle from the local Nitori. It was hard, but I knew that it was what I signed up for. Positivity was my mantra. I suppose it’s important to mention that for all intents and purposes, I identify as a person of color. My parents immigrated to Canada from the Philippines in the 1980s and I was born in Vancouver. I never really had to think twice about my perceived racial identity due to Canada’s settler history, but being transplanted to a largely monoethnic country was a completely different story. My students in general were very polite and genuinely interested in the new strange, English-speaking creature teaching them Old MacDonald. Generally my students and their parents asked if Canada was cold (some parts), if I liked maple syrup (yes), or if I liked hockey (no). Things did change for me though when one person bluntly asked, “If you are Canadian, why aren’t you White?” The blonde, blue-eyed ESL teacher is an archetype rampant and perpetuated throughout the industry, and in retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have been so caught off guard by the question. It wasn’t the last time my suitability for the role masked by questions of my identity were posed to me, and as much as I tried to brush them off, they became very wearing. I let these micro-aggressions build and at some points I just wanted to go home. My positivity mantra had taken a back seat to frustration. I was sick of having to explain to salary men why I speak English but have “Asian face”. Broken Japanese and charades only got me so far when trying to explain immigration to people who, for the most part, only knew what it was like to live within a homogenous country. It hit me eventually though, that the majority of these questions were posed out of candid curiosity, and not with the malicious intent to make me feel unwelcome. As a racialized ESL teacher, you may have to explain why you look the way you do and speak the way you speak. Occasionally you’ll have to draw maps on bar napkins, with arrows indicating the journey of your ancestors to the English-speaking country you’re from, and it will likely be hilarious. You may even have to apologize for not being able to speak the language, even though your facial features may indicate that you should. It can be wearing and its fine to feel frustrated, but don’t let it cloud your day to day life. Some words of advice: Focus on your work and being the best teacher you can be â€" a caring, knowledgeable teacher is a great teacher regardless of where you come from. Meet someone who still makes you feel unwelcome? Be patient and walk away if you have to. You’re not going to broaden everyone’s mind, and that’s okay. Take these questions of your identity as an opening to widen someone’s perspective of what an ESL teacher can look like. Or rather, an opening to someone’s perspective of life.

Baby Crib Tips

Baby Crib TipsMany parents love the idea of taking their child to a baby store to find a cute tutoring board for his or her crib. A good, well-designed board will provide your baby with lots of information on what to do while he or she is sleeping. These are some of the questions that you should ask when shopping for your child's first board.What are the dimensions of the board? This is a very important question because it will determine the size of the crib and the room where you are going to place it. If the board is too big, it will not fit in the room. If it is too small, you may have trouble getting the crib onto the board. Always shop for a board that is large enough to be comfortably placed in the room.Is there any extra storage space on the board? If you put a huge board in a corner, will there be enough room for more items to be stored underneath? Will you be able to add a storage bench to the top of the board in order to make sure there is ample space underneath? These are some of the questions that you should ask when shopping for a board.Does the board have a built-in, universal remote? This is an added feature that can make putting your child to bed much easier. You will find that some of the newer products do have this feature, but you may want to look for one that does not have it. Most of the new ones have a built-in remote control, which means that you will be able to switch your child's mode of sleep from one of three different settings (no music, soft music, or lullaby).How much is the price? Make sure that you factor in the cost of the board. There are some brands of boards that are sold for as little as a few dollars. While you may not be able to put the board away after your child has learned to sleep through the night, you want to make sure that the board is reasonably priced. You don't want to end up having to buy another one, especially if you want more than one for your child.What is the current availability of the product? Some brands of board are available only at certain retailers or online. Be sure that you shop around to make sure that you are getting the best prices possible.With these three questions in mind, you should have an idea of what to expect from a baby crib while it is being delivered. Just remember that just because a new product is new, it doesn't mean that it is a cheap product.
