Children Quotes

I really like this kid poem because I am sure all of our children have said they were sick to stay home from school.

                                          

I cannot go to school today" Said little Peggy Ann McKay.                                            
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry.
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox.

And there's one more - that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?                 
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,
It might be the instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke.
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in.

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My toes are cold, my toes are numb,

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There's a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is ...
What? What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is .............. Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!”
― Shel Silverstein

David Vitter, U.S. senator
"I continue to believe that if children are given the necessary tools to succeed, they will succeed beyond  their wildest dreams!

Testing Children Intelligence

Children are learning academically every day in a classroom environment. Our society main focus is on our children academic capacities which are very important. It is also important for children to learn about themselves. I believe that it is important for children to learn about relationships with others outside of their environment. Relationships involve social development which prepares our children to communicate in the world as adults.

I think that Head start assessment is developed appropriate according to their age. The assessment is called ASQ3. It breaks each section down according each developmental domain. The domains include language, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. The assessments are assessed according to the age of the child. The teachers assess can assess the children in the classroom and on the classroom.

Assessment in Scotland

Children in Scotland are assessed with a computerized PIPS on-entry baseline assessment when they first start school at age six. It measures cognitive development including early predictors of reading, phonological awareness, math, and vocabulary. The PIPS Project collects a large amount of data from children in England, New Zealand, and Western Australia as well as from Scotland.
