Hasbro Summer Learning Initiative

Image result for positive learning environmentHasbro Summer Learning Initiative is a six weeks summer program that is dedicated to improving students' math and literacy. During the six weeks, the program offers science investigations, art, theater, drumming, and cooking, allowing the kids to experience wide range of activities through learning. As part of the learning activity, they take an out-of-town field trip to destinations such as Mystic Seaport or Plimoth Plantation each Friday that produce academic gains.

I think the HSLI aligns with Purposeful Play because of the hands-on, field trips, and other activities they do to help the children learn better. As they learn through purposeful play, I think they also align with community. The children and students build a learning community that help each child to learn in a conducive environment which also give room for a positive youth space.

In other to be eligible, applicants must be able to
  • advance the LIVE UNITED 2020 goals and results.[They] must be able to measure, collect, and report on key performance measures linked to one or both of the following UWRI-identified results: [1] Children are prepared for success in school, and [2] Young adults are prepared for college and careers.

  • show evidence of community and school support at all levels
  • have a letter of determination of 501(c)[3] status from the IRS or have a fiscal agent that has 501(c)[3] status.
+ I like the fact that these teachers are able to see how their students have different ways of learning once the opportunity is there.

+ I like how the children have field trips each Friday.

My reflection is based on Karisa Tashjian, from the Providence Public Library. Karisa's presentation spoke out the most from my point of view. The way in which she presented her materials and educated the class not just what we know about libraries, but what goes on in the organizational structure that most of the class did not know about. I like how she made a connection to the fish after talking about partnering with other organizations. She mentioned that, partnering with others help bring in bigger ideas especially when everyone is leading in the same direction. The activity with the fish when everyone has to write down the names of fish they know helped me in understanding what she meant by working alone only lead to walking in circle whereas working with others. When there is a team opportunity and everyone is on the same page and has the same goal, there will be one focus and a better result. In connection to one of our course text, this reminds me about the import...

Play Box Activity (Culture & Ethnicity)

I believe culture and ethnicity cannot be learned once, because there is always something to learn even from our own cultures and/or ethnicity. I loved the activity because my teammate Maggie had me thinking more about my culture and what it means to me. It is something I do not often think about. By doing this play box, it helped me to cherish my culture even more. Planning this activity with Maggie was very educating and fun. The best part was listening to what others have to say concerning their culture/ethnicity. It made me to feel as if I am in a room fill with rainbow. Although we all have different cultures, but we somehow relate to at least one or two persons in the room. As for me, I felt satisfying when Tracy spoke of culture and the love she has for certain music and food in her country because I could relate and understand what she was speaking of. For the other, though i did not know, it made me curious to find out and I felt that I was with them in that moment when the...
