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.

  • 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...

Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter is a sensitive topic to me personally because each person embraces it differently. I feel when explaining Black Lives Matter (BLM) to anyone, the individual should be conscious about what is being said and how it is explained. If I am to explain what is BLM to a young person, I will explain depending on what the individual wants to hear baring in mind that I do not know how this person will embrace my information. I would simple say that it is an activist movement, rally, and an organization that is seeking racial  justice. It is a movement that started after the murder of an African-American teen Trayvon Martin. The protests speak out against police killings of black people, racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system. I would leave it as simple as that if I am not asked to go into details of this movement. source:  Black Lives Matter Questions: When is it appropriate to discuss BLM? What are ...
