This school has become a second family. The director is always available, friendly and helpful. They treat my child as if he were one of their own and always say hi to me and him in the morning and goodbye to us both in the evening. The teachers are all friendly and welcoming. I’m very happy with this school.

I used to work for this school so I already knew my child would be attending once she was old enough. I felt comfortable with the teachers that I grew to know when working there and meeting the new ones once my child started there. The Brightwheel app they use is awesome because you can see their daily activity posted and send and receive messages to and from the teachers. They also send pictures through

Where to find blacksmith stones in Elden Ring – Gambling
In order to improve weapons in Elden Ring , you must not only find a blacksmith, but also bring him blacksmith stones. We tell you more about what these items are and where to find them.
Types of Blacksmith Stones
Ordinary Stones
Stones vary in levels, and the higher the level, the greater the increase in characteristics can be expected. For each subsequent weapon upgrade, you will have to look for stones of a higher level. Total in the game 9varieties of such stones, they differ in the number near the name. The stone of the first level improves the weapon up to +3, the stone of the ninth – up to +25.
Blacksmith Stones of Darkness
These stones are needed to upgrade special weapons. For example, this is issued for defeating bosses. Like ordinary stones, these are also divided into levels and generally work on the same principle. The only differences are in the rarity of the item, the number of levels (there are 10, not 9) and a slightly faster leveling.
Where you can farm blacksmith stones
Even ordinary blacksmith stones, not to mention obscurant stones, are quite rare material. From time to time you will stumble upon it, but it will take quite a long time to look for them on your own, which can greatly stretch the pumping process.

Blacksmith stones can usually be found in chests and on the bodies of fallen enemies . But most often they can be found in tunnels. Your goal is gold and silver crystals on their walls. Another universal way is to bring bell spheres for the Twin Old Handmaids to buy stones with runes.

Floating islands, which during a flood bring to the main lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny and the overgrown Gus River – an attraction or a dangerous problem
In the town’s lake Gus-Khrustalny, floating islands of bushes and reeds appear every year, which are brought from the mouth of the Gus River during the flood. To get rid of the problem, federal funding is needed, but for now, the authorities and entrepreneurs are forced to eliminate the floating islands on their own
The so-called floating islands, which are whole layers of thickets of reeds, sedges and small trees, have been sailing into the city lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny for many years now. The editor of the Gusev newspaper Afisha, Dmitry Sakharov, told Zebra TV that such a phenomenon has already become a kind of local “landmark”.
True, if in past years the problem was solved promptly: the authorities and local entrepreneurs cooperated and jointly “caught” floating islands from the lake, this year, according to Sakharov, the islands have been floating for about 3 weeks, and no one cares about them. And one of the islands has already moored right at the embankment, where people are used to walking and closes the whole view of the lake:
“Every year, in the spring, when the ice begins to melt, floating islands come to our city lake, which, on the one hand, have already become a local “attraction”, and on the other hand, are an accumulation of garbage and bushes. They swim along the river from the mouth and are driven by the current along the lake. In 2016, local entrepreneurs pulled out and disposed of these thickets at their own expense. They cannot be left: not only is there an accumulation of garbage, but they can take root. And the governor of the Vladimir region, Svetlana Orlova, noted that the lake is our pearl, and the head of the city of Gus-Khrustalny repeats that the lake needs to be taken care of. Now the floating islands have been floating for three weeks, and it feels like no one needs it. A few days ago, the island was swimming near the central beach, children could climb there. And now he swam right to the embankment.
Representatives of the initiative group of Gusev entrepreneurs, who last year were engaged in cleaning up the lake, told Zebra TV on condition of anonymity that they were in no hurry to start fishing for floating islands, since local officials put the problem on the back burner on the eve of the May holidays.
Activists note that the authorities, in their opinion, “do not yet take the problem seriously, since there are many other priority problems that also require immediate resolution” . At the same time, all that businessmen need to get started is the administrative assistance of the authorities, since the lake is a specially protected area and permits and environmental reviews are needed to work on it.
Gus businessmen explained to Zebra TV that the problem of floating islands that sail into the lake from the Gus River has been growing for decades:
“These islands arise due to the fact that the mouth of the Gus River is overgrown. It had to be cleaned 15-20 years ago. And now we are fighting only with the effect – these islands, and not with the cause itself. These islands – they are growing, it is a constant process. In the spring, they break away from the main land due to the fact that the water table rises. This problem has been growing not in one year, but for decades. Last year we solved it together with the city authorities, and this year the islands sailed again – even more than last year.”
Ideally, according to entrepreneurs, it is necessary not to “chop off the heads of the Hydra, which will grow back” , but to deal with the root cause – to clean the mouth and bed of the Gus River so that the islands no longer sail. But this requires large financial costs, and therefore businessmen are still ready to clean the lake regularly:
“We are ready to do this, we would like there to be synergy, so that the authorities also see this as a problem and want to solve it, and we are always ready to help. After all, the priority of other problems does not replace the presence of a problem with the lake.
The head of the city of Gus-Khrustalny, Nikolai Balakhin, said that work to scoop out floating islands from the lake, which is a favorite vacation spot for citizens, has been underway for the past 4 years. Balakhin explained to Zebra TV that at the moment the authorities are literally waiting for a fair wind:
Nikolai Balakhin
“We have three floating islands. We solve the problem in two ways. Our City Council deputies and entrepreneurs help us a lot with cleaning up the lake and the beach. We already have experience of working together to eliminate these islands. The equipment is already ready – entrepreneurs are ready to give mobile excavators. We’re not bailing it out now because we don’t want to mess up the city we cleaned up ahead of 9May. After Victory Day for a week, we are waiting for a fair wind that will drive the islands to the shore. Then we scoop them out, let the water drain, then we take them out and clean the site. We find a common language with entrepreneurs. We started to scoop out one of the islands, but the wind has changed: now one island is moored, and two are floating on the lake.”
The material of the floating islands – reeds and trees, according to the information of the head of Gus-Khrustalny, are used to reclaim landfills or backfill quarries, that is, they do not need special disposal. After the holidays, according to Balakhin, it is planned not only to catch the floating islands, but also to slightly renew the city beach with clean sand.
According to Nikolai Balakhin, it will be possible to radically solve the problem only next year. Now the administration of Gus-Khrustalny has begun preparing the necessary project documentation in order to enter the federal program for the environmental rehabilitation of rivers in 2018, under which, in the Vladimir region, for example, 7 rivers have already been cleaned up in 2016.
Recall that last year, during the governor’s visit to the reconstructed embankment on the lake in the center of Gus-Khrustalny, local residents complained to Svetlana Orlova about water pollution in the central city reservoir. Then the governor Orlova reassured the residents of Gusev that the head of the city, Nikolai Balakhin, knew how to enter the federal program for cleaning up reservoirs in order to “put the pearl of glass city in order.”
“Now we are working on a project to clean up the bed of the Gus River. And in 2018, within the framework of the federal program for the ecological rehabilitation of rivers, we plan to receive funding. We have the support of Governor Svetlana Orlova and the confidence that this money will be allocated. We will clean up the river bed so that the floating islands that form in that area will no longer float into the lake. This will be a serious cleanup of the river,” emphasizes Nikolai Balakhin.
So far, the exact amount that will be needed to clean up the bed of the Gus River is unknown: it will be determined by the project documentation.
Alexander Belousov told about the secrets and legends of the ancient lake Huko
On the border of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea there is a true natural diamond – the sacred Adyghe Lake Huko. The lake is rightfully considered the pearl of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve and is the object of close attention of scientists. Among the lakes of the Western Caucasus, it stands out for its beauty, unusual location, mysterious origin and peculiar water regime. The head of the expeditionary center of the Krasnodar regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society Alexander Belousov tells about the secrets and legends of the ancient lake Huko. For 11 years now, he has been exploring reservoirs within the framework of the project, which became the winner of the national award “Crystal Compass”: “The Western Caucasus is a mountainous country of a thousand lakes.”
Lake Khuko is located on the border of the Caucasian Reserve and the watershed of the Main Range at an altitude of 1740 m between the rivers Pshekhashkha (a tributary of the Pshekhi river) and Shakhe, 7 km northwest of the town of Fisht. According to the measurements, the area of this reservoir is 27,500 m2, the length is 260 m, and the width is 150 m, the maximum depth reaches 10 m. The section of the Main Range, on which the lake is located, has a peculiar morphological structure.
– The real name of the lake is Khyk’o, i.e. Hiko, but he is constantly distorted and called Huko, as is customary on most cards, or Huho, and sometimes even Foucault, – says Alexander Belousov.
Khyk’o in translation from the Adyghe means “dolphin” or “porpoise”. From a nearby peak, one can see a shape close to a dolphin in the outlines of the lake. In the northeastern part of the lake, the “dolphin ridge” is clearly visible. Another meaning of the word “hykyo” is “son of the sea”. It is believed that the lake is a remnant of an archaic sea and still has some kind of connection with the Black Sea.

– The existence of another version of the origin of the name is quite logical. Near the lake rises the mountain of the same name, which could give the name to the picturesque reservoir. For the indigenous Circassians, Khuko is a sacred lake that can save them from dry weather. The Circassians still believe that if you collect water from the lake and transfer it to the nearest stream, then after some time it will start to rain. During drought days, residents of the surrounding settlements send people to Lake Huko. The most important thing in this ritual is not to spill a single drop along the way, otherwise a severe flood may occur. Local residents believe that this is exactly what happened in 1991, when a bottle of water from the sacred lake was broken on the way to the settlement. In 2004, the staff of the reserve told me about the next pilgrimage to the lake of two mountaineers – father and son, – adds Alexander Belousov.
Highlanders believed that the spirit of the goddess Psiguashe (Psyguashche, the Circassian Maiden of Waters or the Lady of Water) lives in the lake, commanding rains and saving the local lands from drought.
And here are a few mysterious facts that were written about in the newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda” in the 80s of the XX century: “There is always some kind of magical silence reigning here, no sounds are ever heard from the side of the lake, which sometimes even frightens especially impressionable tourists. Huko is surrounded by mountain ranges, so the wind in its vicinity is also very rare. Fish do not live in cold waters and not a single stream flows out of the lake. In general, a solid mystery shrouded in darkness.” All these facts fueled increased interest in this reservoir. Until a certain time, the reservoir was little studied, and there was almost no information about it in the specialized literature.

After several expeditions led by Deputy of the Krasnodar Regional Branch of the Russian Geographical Society Yuri Eremov, much that was previously inexplicable became clear. There is practically no life in the reservoir itself – even microscopic algae, which are found in any fresh reservoir, were not found in this lake.
– Only in the shallows near the shore one could notice individual species of rotifers, larvae of caddisflies, cladocerans and folded crustaceans common to any lake. They feed on small ducks, often floating on the surface of the water, – remembers the first explorer of the lake Yuri Efremov.
This is one of the main paradoxes of the Khuko tract. Around it – the kingdom of forest and subalpine vegetation, the basin is well lit by the sun. However, aquatic vegetation is absent here.
– Most likely, the reason lies in the harsh microclimatic conditions of this tract. In winter, a lot of snow falls – up to 4-5 m. In addition, the conditions here are extremely favorable for redeposition of snow, that is, its transfer from the steep southeastern and southern slopes to the lake basin. As a result, the snow cover persists until June, and in some seasons, floating ice floes can be seen even in July. Therefore, the water in it is cold even in summer. So in August it did not rise above 15°C. The warming of the water column is also slow. With depth, the temperature drops to 5-6°C. The bluish-green water is transparent to a depth of 6-7 m. Its mineralization is low, due to the melting of snow and precipitation. The lake is under ice and a thick layer of snow 9-10 months a year. In this regard, the conditions for the existence of fish and other living organisms are extremely unfavorable, – Alexander Belousov explains.
Another mystery of the lake is its origin. This area is included in the powerful tectonic zone of the Kurdzhip-Adler fault, which separates the Western and Northwestern Caucasus. A system of tectonic cracks stretches along the Main Range, along which erosion and frost weathering (destruction of rocks during freezing of water, melting ice and snow) actively occur. Ultimately, this basin formed.
– There is another large lake depression nearby. Within its limits, a small fading lake has been preserved. And once there was a lake twice the size of modern Huko. But it was destroyed by a breakthrough of the water flow through the thin wall of the watershed towards the river. Pshekhashkhi. Apparently, such a fate awaits Huko in the future, since on the north side of the reservoir, the bridge between it and the slope of the indicated river does not exceed 2-3 m. It must be assumed that this will not happen soon, since erosion develops very slowly in resistant rocks, – explains the researcher.

Lake Huko is unique in that it has no outflow, so it accumulates precipitation evenly (without mixing). In its bottom sediments, which are a source of information about changes in the natural environment on a geological time scale, climate changes that have occurred in the region over the past several tens of thousands of years have been recorded. In July 2016, employees of the Caucasus Reserve and the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted a joint expedition to the lake with sampling of bottom sediments and taking bathymetric measurements. The expedition was led by Nobel Prize winner, member of the expert council of the Crystal Compass national award, director of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences Olga Solomina.
Radiocarbon study of the bottom of Lake Huco, conducted in the laboratory of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences and at the American Center for Isotope Research at the University of Georgia, showed that Lake Huco (as of 2016) is 9280 years old! It turned out to be much older than expected. Some scientists believed that its age is 250-300 years. There are very few such ancient lakes in the Western Caucasus. These are Karakel in the city of Teberda, Lake Khorlakel in Western Elbrus, and now Lake Khuko.
There is another unsolved riddle connected with the lake – these are half-meter colored drawings of two fish, which are depicted on the eastern slope of the lake basin on two vertically standing megaliths. One shows a fish in color. On the second, you can also see a rock drawing, but it is impossible to see it because of the thick moss covering the stone. Ancient pictures date back to the Middle Ages, and according to some researchers they are 1000-1500 years old, and it is doubly strange why the fish is depicted where it is not found.
There are only two such color images in the Caucasus: one – the face of Christ in the mountains of Lower Arkhyz, the other – the fish of Lake Khuko. Photo: Dmitry Andreev
– There are only two such color images in the Caucasus: one – the face of Christ in the mountains of Lower Arkhyz, the other – the fish of Lake Khuko. How did they appear, who depicted them, how did colored paints survive even in the thickets of lichen that covered the old image in places? Were these ancient fish found in the lake, or were they just a figment of the imagination of an unknown artist? These questions remain unanswered for a long time. So far, there is only an assumption that the drawings on the rocks near Lake Huko were created during the period of early Christianity , – said Sergey Trepet, a leading researcher at the Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve.
Until now, the lake continues to keep its unsolved mysteries in peace and tranquility and is waiting for its explorers.

Description Photos (28) How to get there
Reviews (0) Master plan Interview with developer
June 25, 2021
See all photos Cottage villages. It is located in the village of Grechukhino, Gromovsky rural settlement, Priozersky district, Leningrad region. The project has been suspended. Communications have been postponed until the summer of 2022.
Chamber village – there are only 11 plots in it. The areas start from 16 acres and reach 40 acres. Type of permitted use – DNP. All plots are located on the first line of the lake.
The communications package will include an open sewerage system, electricity (15 kW per site), a primary fire extinguishing system, as well as roads coated with granite chips (GPS). The territory of the Khrustalnaya Gavan checkpoint will be fenced, and a checkpoint with a gate will be set up at the entrance. There is a private sandy beach, to which a path leads from the checkpoint. The beach is suitable for sports games, family picnics and other activities.
Infrastructure facilities are located in nearby settlements: grocery stores operate in Krasnoarmeisky and Solovyovka, entertainment centers and restaurants in Losevo, and pharmacies, kindergartens and schools in Gromovo.
You can get to the object from St. Petersburg by your own car along the A-121 Sortavala highway (Novopriozerskoye Highway). With an average traffic load, a one-way trip takes 1 hour. At the same time, it is worth remembering possible traffic jams and laying extra time. Buses depart from Devyatkino metro station, and electric trains depart from Ploshad Lenina and Devyatkino metro stations. They stop at the Gromovo railway station, 12 km away from the village.
The sites of KP “Khrustalnaya Gavan” are located on the shore of Lake Komsomolskoye. It is used by locals as a place for fishing, swimming and water sports. In addition, the immediate surroundings are forest, where mainly pines grow. In general, the environmental situation is favorable and does not cause concern. There are no industrial enterprises and solid waste dumps nearby.
This developer has many projects for different tastes and budgets. The company copes with them quite confidently, so about Crystal Harbor we have no doubts. Buyers can take local sites without fear of a dirty trick.
This village is a purely dacha format. Far enough from St. Petersburg not to experience the harmful effects of the metropolis. Beautiful nature: a forest, a lake – and all this is at hand, no need to go anywhere else. In general, this is the charm of the Priozersky district and the advantage of many local projects. “Crystal Harbor” is just the case when everything came together very well. We also note the transport component. Most of the way to the village, the road goes along the high-speed section of the Sortavala highway – wide, with divided oncoming lanes. Only after Vuoksa a small section of the road will have to be driven along the old highway, but it is also in good condition and, moreover, it is not long to go. After turning to Krasnoarmeiskoye, the road is also quite decent. So you can drive almost to the village itself without fear for your car. Difficulties, as a rule, arise at Sortavala on weekends in the summer season, when the townspeople leave St. Petersburg for nature and return back. Sunday evening traffic jams in front of the Ring Road are common. The inhabitants of Khrustalnaya Gavan have an alternative option in case of emergency: get to the Gromovo railway station and from there take a train to St. Petersburg.
The cottage village we are considering is not an option for everyone. According to its characteristics and prices, the project is quite consistent with the business class. It is very compact, almost a club. At the same time, the plots are large – there is where to turn around to organize everything as you like, and there will be no neighbors nearby, no one will interfere with anyone. Of the shortcomings, one can only name a limited set of communications.
In terms of the cost of land, the village is included in the group of the most expensive by the standards of the Priozersky district. And given that plots in Crystal Harbor start from 16 acres, even the most modest local households will not be cheap. In the vastness of the region there are now about thirty villages, where a hundred square meters will be offered cheaper. But it is clear that not all locations are so attractive.
Sales started recently. At the end of June, out of 11 sites presented in the village, three were booked, eight were free. On Komsomolskoye Lake, options are now available in two more villages: Komsomolskoye Lake and Solovyovskie Dachas. In both cases, a hundred square meters are offered cheaper, but the plots are also mostly large, so that households also come out not very budget-friendly. More expensive than in the “Crystal Harbor”, a hundred square meters are offered in the KP “Your Bay”, which is on the banks of the Vuoksa in Losevo. There are still options on the shores of the neighboring Lake Otradnoe: in the KP Ostapovka weave is offered both cheaper and more expensive – depending on the site, and in Otradnaya Bay (another project of the FACT Cottage Villages company) prices are lower.

Academy of riders 3. Soul (SI)
In our electronic library you can read online for free the book Academy of riders 3. Soul (SI) – Anishkina Zoya, Anishkina Zoya.
Animya with a wild cry went into the bowels of my mind. I even shuddered, it was so sensitive. She closed her eyes, and then collected her thoughts and pointed to the green-eyed man in the central chair, which was empty after our departure.
Xavier looked at me and walked slowly in the direction he had set. Immediately, his step became more sedate, and his posture more crooked. The old dragon is an experienced person, he begins to prepare the rear in advance.
Will he insist that he is poor, weak and unhappy? It’s unlikely to work with me. I really know how much energy this man has. Therefore, let him not pretend to be what he is not.
Silence reigned. Everyone looked at Montesorri, then at me with obvious incomprehension, Frowning, and only one Tim looked relaxed. Trusts. Nicely.
From the realization of this, warmth spread from below. I suddenly realized that no matter who life brought me into contact with, there were very few people who truly believed in me.
Relatives are deleted immediately. Didn’t make friends. Vita is not human. Perhaps, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, grandvidera and Passion will close the list of those who did not put a spoke in my wheels. But this is also a relative conclusion.
And here I asked him to be honest with me, to be mine, and he just became. When this happens, I want to give a person a hundred times more. Let me know how valuable this is to me.
– Well, what will we talk about? As I understand it, all of you are not here to discuss the attack. The topic is so important that your conversations were carried throughout the Academy.
She glanced at people with her signature look. It had changed somewhat due to the dragon irises, but was still deadly. Are they yelling at the whole castle about the seventh policy?!
Oh, no control over them! That is OK. While such power is in my hands, I will teach them the mind-reason. You have to, even if you don’t really want to. Xavier answered:
– Remember, you once gave me a task. About a strange white spot on the maps between the desert, mountains and the sea. There is also a lake, most likely.
Emolius made a strange grunting sound. He looked at me with such a look, as if seeing me for the first time. Yes, dearest great-grandfather, I still can’t do it. Only I don’t embroider with ancient patterns, but excuse me here. Who studied for whom.
Montessori wasn’t surprised at all. I think he either suspected or knew something a long time ago. He is at the Academy someone like Johnson’s faith with his collection of fairy tales and dragons. Just don’t advertise your knowledge. He answered cautiously:
– I remember.
Rolled her eyes and looked at him in annoyance. Dear Academician! What kind of circus performance are you doing here?
– Academician Montessorri, spare my time and nerves. Let’s not pretend to be a great intriguer here. Spread it. And I, perhaps, will paint your story with my guesses.
The man pursed his lips and made such an expression on his face that it became clear that he was just getting ready for a special performance and wanted to impress. And indeed:
– You don’t respect old age at all. You deprive the old man of his last joy. But anyway, I’ll start.
His grumbling left no one indifferent except me. I was ready for such attacks. Boring, predictable and trivial. Nothing new. She crossed her arms in front of her and waited for the beginning.
The rest of the impatience almost stretched their heads out of their necks, but did not dare to break our dialogue. Yes, even our Supremes, who seemed to be interested in investigating the seventh policy in a special way. I would like to know why.
Xavier Montesorri cleared his throat, shifted in his chair, savoring his moments of glory, and finally began. And then I already thought that I would grow old here.
– A long time ago, I noticed that there are a lot of strange legends about a place called the Valley of the Lake. This lake is also called Khrustalny.
Frozen. I did not know such legends. Age still makes itself felt at such moments. Although, what is there, I simply had no one to tell these legends. My childhood was a little… peculiar.
Praise be to the ruling saints, no one was in a hurry to interrupt the academician. And thanks for that. He continued:
– This place is shrouded in a heap of secrets, and it would undoubtedly remain only a legend, if somehow in class one overly stubborn and diligent adept did not point out to me a curious anomaly.
It was my turn to be surprised. So I kind of became the catalyst for his interest in the location of the seventh policy? Yes, okay. .. She quietly said:
– I don’t believe it, Academician. Are you pushing your own interest onto me? Seriously?
He shook his head in annoyance and changed his tone. Finally. And then at such a pace we will sit here for several days:
– Imagine, adept Sicil! I heard about this place, I knew its descriptions, but I never received confirmation of its existence. And here you are with your questions, and I decided to delve into the problem.
He took a breath and continued:
– Indeed, a place on the border of three policies: Solitdara, Monstdara and Ihtramar, very remote from people, fits the description of Crystal Lake. I can only assume that what you are looking for is in there. The only question is what is it about.
Oh. I can’t stand it when adult uncles turn on the imbial. Me too! He heard screams, but what they shouted – no! But I don’t think I’m the only one who lost patience today. Passy exclaimed:
– Don’t pull the dragon for you know what! Seventh policy! What can you say about the seventh policy?
The academician frowned. Well, yes, here you are not a handful of subordinate adherents. Here a star sits on a star and drives the Supreme Ruler. You just won’t get through.
– I think this is where the policy really is. I heard this one a couple of times,” he pointed towards Emolius, “talking about freedoms and the possibility of creating a wonderful place. A couple of times he let slip about his own house. I concluded that the venerable former rector did not live in one of the six policies. Then the question arose where, well, and …
He spread his hands, looking at me. To be honest, I expected more. Weak guesses. But it will. I started:
– I’m sure this policy is there. I saw this place in the labyrinth room where my great-grandfather was kept, he confessed to me himself. I also think that the third crystal dragon lives in this lake. Or the first. In general, Spiraea and its location, most likely, is the great secret of the seventh policy. He puts these special blocks. And they are led by someone special.
Silence reigned. Everyone digested what was said. We thought and pondered, and in their eyes I saw how important the topic has become for all of us. After I resolve the issue with the killer in Solitdar, I will certainly go to visit my colleagues, so to speak.
I think Anima would be glad to see her brother. It is so? Silence was my answer. I met my grandmother’s eyes and realized from her eyes that almost everything that was said was on point. Well, great. She was about to ask who else had any thoughts when Eva raised her hand and stood up.
Looking straight into my eyes, she calmly said:
– I’m pretty sure that when you talk about the ruler of the seventh polis, it’s about my mother. Tris and Tobias know her well and used to communicate actively before I showed up.
Chapter 32. Mimi
Wow. I did not expect such a turn. So here’s the thing! That’s for whom such a panic and a desire to get all the information out of the granny. What can I say, I understand.
– Therefore, I ask you to interrogate Minerva Liberadar.
Twenty-five again! She rolled her eyes. Who is talking about what, but the unloved and abandoned child is about the mother. The mystery of mother Eva Ovayo is the mystery of the century. The most famous horsewoman in the world, the star of circus shows! An unsurpassed and chic woman who suddenly disappeared at the very peak of her career.
Her main fan was sitting here right now. In Museonis, Passius set aside a whole huge cave to honor his beloved. There, Eva realized that she was not really an orphan.

I’m a 33-year old ICU RN who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and I make $192,000.
: MoneyDiariesACTIVE
I realize how wordy I am, with how long this is, so I hope reading it isn’t too time-consuming 🙂
Basic Info:
Occupation: Registered Nurse
Location: SF Bay Area (Peninsula)
Salary: $192,000
Section One: Assets and Debts:
Retirement: $120,000 (avoiding looking at it now, due to the drop in the stock market. Trying to keep my sanity :))
Pension: $150,000 (my workplace is one of the few to offer this, and it really incentivizes you to stay there for a while)
Checking account: $4,000 ish
Savings: I have a few, it’s my way of keeping positivity and hoping to one day buy a house, albeit it most likely won’t be in the Bay, since it’s so expensive here.
CD (for house) :$30,377 (initially put in $30k last year, with a 1.75% APY)
Big savings: $26,602 (my husband contributes $150 a paycheck towards this, for clarity) ( I will transfer this to a CD once the one above matures and combine them)
Emergency fund: $2478. 00
Vacation Fund: $1662.00
Monthly Income: Pre-tax
$15,000-$15,500 a month, pre-tax
$7500-$8000 take home, after taxes and retirements
(I work nights, so on top of base pay, there is a 16% differential, 5% on top of that if you work weekends, of which we are required to do 4-5 a month, and an additional $2.50 if you are the charge nurse, which I do about 5 times per month. I also get a $41.53 per paycheck specialty certification reimbursement, which technically covers the cost of taking a certification test and maintaining it via CEUs). I also, during non-COVID-19 times, teach at my hospital, around 12 hours a month, which is additional pay.
Monthly Costs:
Rent: $3230 (Our two-bedroom apartment, includes $50 cat rent per month)
Credit Card Debt: $0. I have two credit cards from Chase; my personal one is the Chase Sapphire Reserve (i.e. my green card) and my husband and I split the Chase Sapphire Preferred (i. e. the blue card). I/we pay off the balance each month. I’d say that my personal card is about $2000.00 a month and the shared card is in the area of $1400-$1700.
Annual Fees: Green Card -$450, although it is going up to $550 in July when it renews. Ugh.
Blue Card: $95, goes through at end of April
Student Loans: About $10,436 left. I pay over the minimum every month, about $300 total, to finish off nursing school loans and a little bit left of graduate school loans.
403b: Usually around $1800-$2000 a month, dependent on checks, they usually differ a little.
457b: Flat $25. Why not? haha
Pension with workplace match: $500-$600 month
Health Insurance (for my husband and I): $405.00
Vision and Dental Insurance: Covered by employer, $0.
Union Dues: $140.00
Short-term disability: $44.00 (I am accident, bone-breaking prone. Oops)
Savings Distribution:
House Fund: $2200 month/ $300 from husband (he has a lot of debt that he is working through, and there is a large difference in income)
Emergency Fund: $600/month
Vacation Fund: $400/month
Car insurance: $0/month right now, as I paid it in a 6-month chunk, equates to about $70/month
Wifi: $100. 00 month (I pay for all of this)
PG & E, Electric and Gas :Ranges from $65 in the summer to $350.00 in winter (I pay for all of this). Makes me very ragey, that they don’t seem to have a reason and they are shady. PG&E is the major utility in Northern California, and they are responsible for multiple fires that have plagued us each year for the past few years, especially the Camp Fire, that killed so many people.I hate them and don’t have a utility choice.
Conservice: Water, Sewer, Garbage: $150ish (I pay for all of this)
Spotify Family $15.00 (Covers myself, husband, and best friend. You can add up to 5 people!)
Netflix: $8.99 (My husband and I split this)
HBO: $14.99 (split with my sister)
T-Mobile Cell Phone: $97.00
Medication for my cat: $150.00. He has an autoimmune disorder and he requires immunosuppression pills daily.
Donations:
$20/month to the Wild at Heart Foundation, out of the UK. They rescue dogs from terrible abuse situations and help to place them. Please google Maggie the Wonder Dog to find out more! I’ll usually throw another $20 at them if they are having a drive or a specific pet need.
$20/month for Beagle Freedom Project: They rescue beagles that are subject to laboratory testing and place them in homes and rehabilitate them. They also have acute needs for emergency rescues, so I will donate to them when they need money urgently, usually also $20.
$20/month to The Odd Cat Sanctuary: Helping to place cats that have disabilities and/or were at kill shelters. They do great work.
As you can tell, I love animals. I want to help as many as I can; please check out their instagrams (all of them have the names of their foundations) and help them if they seem good to you!
Patreon: $7/month. I subscribe to/support Christine McConell, who is basically a spooky Martha Stewart. She’s incredible.
Random other things:
2 Wine Clubs (Every 3 months): $250 total; I get 6 bottles of wine total from 2 different wineries. This also allows me to get “free (i.e. included)” tastings at both of these wineries, which are local.
Day One:
0845: I wake up without an alarm, which I find to be so relaxing during this time. Since I am leaving the house once a day, to run, I don’t feel the need to wake up at a certain time. It’s really relaxing. I scroll my phone to check my emails, reply to a few group texts I’m in (nursing co-workers, group of my running friends, my parents) and obviously go through Instagram.
0945: Coffee via Nespresso, and an egg and cheese in a tortilla. Not sure if that qualifies as a burrito, but I’ll take it. I don’t love eggs so much but I am trying to eat more of them, as they are healthy and I’ve read that they are good for women trying to conceive. After this, I take two gummy prenatal vitamins and two Calcium gummy vitamins.
12:00: After finishing up on some YouTube, I putz around the house some more, and bug my husband while he works from home.
13:30: Head out to get some fresh air and go on a 4-mile run on the pavement. I am 99% normally a trail runner, but there isn’t a lot of space to be 6 feet apart on the trails, and it upsets me a lot that people aren’t being serious about it. It makes it easier for me to move if we are on the streets. I relish the sunshine and am so happy that it isn’t raining.
15:00: After running, I shower and eat some lunch, plus put some laundry in. Wow, I’m exciting.
16:00 I go out onto the porch and start to read “The Nightingale”, that I’ve had for years and never got around to reading. It’s really good and I’m devouring it, while listening to the French Indie channel on Spotify (really great background music). My husband brings me some beer from a local place, Blue Oak Brewing, and we split one of their sour IPA crowlers.
19:00: We make dinner, some fried chicken (a Paula Deen recipe that we make about once a year because it is way too salty and delicious for my own good) and butternut squash cubes. We watch some YouTube channels that are focused on trail running.
21:00: V gets his cat medication
22:00: Bed time, after getting through more of The Nightingale.
Day One: $0
08:30: Wake up, check phone. I make a double espresso, plus Eggo waffles with peanut butter, and settle into my book. I find out that my one cat likes to eat peanut butter, when I catch him trying to steal my eggo. I then sob into my book, at the end, and am so happy that I read it. I am interested to see if any of it lines up with any real history, so maybe I’ll look into it soon.
10:40: Watched a little bit of my favorite running channel, Run Steep Get High, and the founder of the channel is running a marathon distance on a helipad. Gotta get the miles in somehow, right? Also, I logged onto the “T-Mobile Tuesdays” app and found out that their promotion is a free year-long subscription to a Hearst brand magazine! I got my favorite magazine, Country Living.
11:30: I do a 10-mile run with 1500 feet of elevation gain on the roads, which is pretty good! I explored a neighborhood that I have not been to before, due to avoiding the pavement. The weather is great and fresh, and I am happy.
14:00: My husband, J, and I go to Safeway. It’s not too crowded, and it’s randomly out of eggs. I see a lot of people wearing N95 and paper masks and gloves. We just get our grocery shopping done and are out in 30 minutes. We get: White rice, coconut milk, curry paste, sweet peas, salt, 2 cadbury eggs, 3 bags of Reese’s eggs (they are our favorite and we freeze them), garbanzo beans, sour cream Ritz crackers, BBQ Ritz crackers, strawberry fig bars, a 12-pack of coke, three Aha! Fizzy waters, a 6-pack of mini ginger ales, apple sauce, pumpkin puree, 2 Rockstar energy drinks, orange marmalade, stain remover spray for laundry, string cheese, provolone cheese, cheddar cheese, a gallon of milk, tater tots, light cottage cheese, yogurt, hamburger buns, ground beef, broccoli, blueberries, 1 lime, ginger root, bananas, 2 avocados, 5 nectarines, 2 Perfect bars, one bottle of Band of Roses rose, and one bottle of my favorite rose, Miraval! Phew. We are making everything at home, and it’s a lot. Total: $191.78
18:00 J makes dinner; we have cheeseburgers and tater tots with a glass of rose. I swear I eat healthy some of the time, haha. We end up watching a movie about the Western States 100 race and then I start a book, “The Vacationers”. I’m going to get all of these unread books read during this shelter in place!
21:00 Immunosuppression V. Thank god for whoever invented the Pill Popper.
22:00: Snooooooooze.
Day 2: $191.78
Day 3
08:00: Wake up, browse stuff. I got paid today, woo hoo! Get out of bed, have a fizzy water and an Eggo. No coffee for me until tonight when I go to work. I browse Madewell’s website and see that their jeans are on sale for $75 each! I put them in my bag and then log off. Virtual version of window shopping 🙂
10:00: Walk the rent payment over to the drop box and start my run. The rent box is duct taped open, and I appreciate that I don’t have to touch it. J and I split the rent in different ways; I pay $1830 and he pays $1400, commensurate to our salaries. $3230.00
11:00: 4 miles (oh so slowly) done, hop into the shower and wash my hair for the first time in a few days. I am super blonde and I am trying to preserve the dye as much as I can by not washing as much. I miss my hairstylist!
11:30: I pay our water/sewer/garbage bill via the phone. The company is not run very well, and there were several times in the last year when my payments did not go through online, nor did they go through via the mail. This is the only way that I know it’ll get done. $162.62
12:00: Get back into bed for a few-hour nap. I’m worried about my mom; She is a nurse in a different state. She was told that there were no hours for her (since she works in occupational health-doing things like fitting people for N95 masks, giving flu vaccinations, etc), but they won’t fire her, so she can’t file for unemployment. I’m quite worried and trying to think about how I can help them financially. Ugh.
15:00 Wake up after having a nightmare that one of my cats died. I never have dreams or nightmares during this nap, so it’s weird. I wake up, sautee some eggplant with parmesan cheese on top. Almost an eggplant parm.
18:00: I leave for work. I’ve majorly adjusted what I bring with me; I only bring my license and one credit card, in a ziploc bag. I bring an extra pair of clothes to change into after work. I bring my lunch in a disposable bag, using disposable utensils (I have reusable ones I normally use), and don’t bring in my water bottle or coffee mug. I bring my keys without keychains, with just a car key and house key. Leave my sunglasses and glasses in the car (always bring my glasses in case my contacts go bad). I also put sandals in my car to wear while driving.
22:00 Eat some pumpkin curry on my lunch break, and buy a Cherry Diet Coke from the cafe downstairs. $1.37
02:00 I am hungry and sleepy so I grab some jalapeño pop corners and a diet Dr Pepper. My pt is “critically stable” and requires the care of two nurses, so we just split all of the responsibilities all night. Do vital signs, dialysis numbers every hour, multiple device numbers every hour (the pt is on a few supportive devices), labs, etc. Total $3.10
04:30 Long break zzzz
07:45 Get home from work. Usually it takes me about an hour to get home, but during Covid times, it’s a solid 28 minutes. If I’ve got to be at work, I’ll surely take this as a consolation prize. I wipe down my car with bleach wipes, as well as my phone, name badge, keys, and air pods. Then I throw my scrubs in the wash (already changed into sweats before I left the hospital) and take a shower and scrub myself clean.
09:00 good night.
Day Three total: $3.397.09. Oy.
Day 4
16:45: Wake up a little earlier than I had planned, shower, drink coffee, watch news with my husband.
18:00:Drive to work, no traffic, yay
19:00: Start work, with the same patient. Do hand off with day shift nurses, check off the 10-ish IV drips that are running, plus the dialysis machine, and 3 other supportive devices that the patient is on. Same partner to take care of the patient, and we settle into our respective tasks for the night.
21:30: Our delivery boba order arrived! We ordered from Little Sweet, which their flavors are OK but I want to try a new place next time. Our unit is full of boba fans, so we usually end up ordering like 10 at a time. I order a Rose High Mountain Tea with added boba & 25% sweet. $8.18 for tip/delivery fee
0200: Fairly busy night, but glad to be at work. Still feeling very cautious and scared about COVID. My hospital requires us to wear paper masks while we are at work, to try and minimize everyone making each other sick. My loops start to really hurt my ears 🙁
04:30: Break time! I go to the snack machine and get a Diet Dr. Pepper and jalapeno pop corners again. $3.10
07:00 Drive home, yay!
09:00: ZzZzZz
Daily total: $11. 28
Day 5
16:30 : Wake up for work, shower again, and get dinner ready. I put on some casual clothes and put my dinner into disposable packaging (Bay Area cringe, so used to reusing haha). Brew a Nespresso coffee and drive to work.
18:45: Fill out my pre-work questionnaire. It asks if I have had any symptoms, traveled, or had contact with any Covid + people. Also they’ve added the question if we work with immunocompromised patients, which I do (heart and lung transplants). I pass and go into work, collecting my one paper mask that I will wear for 12 hours. I get changed into hospital scrubs and start my last shift of the week.
22:00 Dinner time! We were surprised by a local Berkeley bakery, Starter Bakery. They’ve donated a ton of fresh baked goods and I almost tear up when I eat my pain au chocolat. It’s so kind of them to think of us, and on night shift, at that! We get forgotten sometimes.
04:30 : Break time. I have made a headband to attach my mask to, since I am getting sores on the back of my ears. It helps a lot.
07:00: Drive home, get into a fight with my husband as soon as I get home. It’s my fault, since I’m extra snappy these days (I don’t want to be) and then we make up and I take a bath and go to bed.
(Cutting this off as Day 5, since I was off of work at that time).
Day 5 total: $0
Day Six:
14:00 Wake up and drink a Coke to pep me up. I make a lunch of cottage cheese, a peach, and some hamburger buns with peanut butter and jelly (I want to use all of our food). Do some laundry, and give our cat his multiple medications.
16:00 I watch a few videos about Covid, that cite a study done in Wuhan, in the hospitals and public spaces. The evidence suggests that the virus is both airborne and droplet. Yay. :/ (not actually a yay).
17:00: Start a 4.5 hour long happy hour with J’s fraternity brothers and their spouses. We are spread all across the country and don’t get to see each other often, and I forget how much I miss all of them. We talk about everything and everyone brings their pets out (we show off our cats!). We make a pizza and drink a 32 oz crowler (can growler, I never heard of it before), aptly titled Social Media Distancing IPA, from Blue Oak Brewing. Fall asleep at 22:00.
Day 6: $0
Day 7:
0945: Slept with some random dreams, but for a loooong time. Switching back to daylight hours is hard, and it’s been a little easier with our current shelter in place order, since I don’t have anywhere to be.
11:00 I made a pot of Prestogeorge’s Organic Haitian Blue coffee (from Pittsburgh, PA-check them out!) and eat a cinnamon roll. Browse YouTube and watch a Vanity Fair interview with Kim Kardashian, about the prison reform work and what she’s involved in. I’m no Kardashian fan, but I was impressed and glad that something good is coming from it.
12:00 Start on my 6-mile trail run. It’s pouring rain and that really keeps the extra people off of the trails. It’s been making me so sad to avoid the trails, but I know that they will be crowded during the day and there’s not enough places to be 6 feet apart at all times. Only one family let their kids walk towards me, without observing the 6-foot rule. Another opportunity for education.
13:30 Bath time and a fizzy water.
16:00: We start to watch Ozark, since I’ve heard that a lot of people are watching it. I’m feeling so-so on it, and it feels like a cheap Breaking Bad. There’s just something about it that doesn’t click for me.
18:00: We make dinner (tacos, plus chips and guac) and log onto Zoom for a happy hour with our run club! I miss them all so much. We live in the same town and haven’t been able to see each other, due to social distancing, and it makes me sit and think about how much I really see them every week. It ends up being about 4 times per week, and they’re all such a big part of my life. We talk about running, working from home, and making bread (it’s the new popular thing!). We log off eventually and then go to bed. I’m a bit sad tonight.
Daily Total: $0
Weekly Total:
Food: $207.53
Living Costs: $3230.00 (rent) and 162.62 (water, sewage, garbage)= $3394.62
Total costs: $3602.15
Reflections:
This definitely wasn’t a normal week, at all. We didn’t go out and do anything fun, or even go to Target and browse around. Who knew that I would miss going to Target and looking at nothing?
We bought more food than we normally do, but we are obviously making every meal at home. It’s a little shocking to see the big number when you’re at the checkout, but then it makes sense after processing it all.
Work was pretty normal too, which was a relief. The world still turns and people are still really sick from non-COVID things. There were just a few more things that made it difficult to go into work (constantly wearing a mask, being questioned about symptoms) but then there was no traffic so I am going to be so grateful for that every day!
At this time, I wasn’t feeling too cooped up or anything, but I can definitely say that I am now, while editing this. I go from feeling ok to feeling really bummed, and I think mostly everyone is like that too.

Salary Growth Trend (2017-2021)
Salary for an RN in this state grew 21. 87% between 2017 and 2021. This is due to the higher demand for skilled RNs, particularly in facilities providing state-of-the-art medical care. Expanding healthcare coverage means more people in CA seek medical care each year, and as the number of patients continues to rise, the number of RNs needed to care for them rises, as well.

Salary Growth Projection (2022-2026)
RN salary growth in the state of California is expected to follow the previous years’ trends. In fact, in 2022, RNs across the state will earn an average of $124,000 annually. Factors that will drive salary increases for RNs in California vary, but supply versus demand is by far the biggest contributor. Many employers struggle to find skilled nurses, and they are willing to pay their RNs more each year. What’s more, information from the California Board of Registered Nursing suggests that the number of RN graduates has been on the decline in recent years, which means there are fewer people entering the field despite higher demand.

Registered Nurse Salary in Major Cities of California
The city where you work can have a huge influence on your salary as a whole. RNs who work in heavily-populated parts of CA tend to earn significantly more than their counterparts.
Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, RNs earn between $77,580 – $161,880 each year with an average annual salary of $116,110. Los Angeles is the most heavily-populated city in California, which means its hospitals, emergency rooms, and long-term care facilities remain busy and demand quality nursing staff. Hospitals like Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser Permanente, and the UCLA Medical Center are some of the biggest employers of RNs in CA. Other employers that are more common in LA than other parts of the state include drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities and cosmetic surgeons’ offices.

The biggest employers in this city include hospitals like Scripps Mercy, Sharp Memorial, and Alvarado Hospital. Aside from hospitals, medical clinics and long-term care facilities employ a significant number of the city’s RNs.

San Jose
If you will work in San Jose, CA, you can expect to earn a salary between $98,660 and $204,520, or an average of $155,230 each year. San Jose is one of the highest-paying cities in the state, mainly because it is the very heart of the Silicon Valley and the state’s technology industry. There are numerous affluent neighborhoods here, and hospitals like Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara, Stanford, and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital pay their nurses well. Other facilities, and especially long-term care facilities like nursing homes, also help boost the average salary in San Jose.

Areas with Highest Registered Nurse Employment
California is a heavily-populated state, and because of this, it is home to thousands of hospitals, tens of thousands of doctors offices, and numerous nursing homes, home care agencies, rehabilitation facilities, and other medical centers. Across CA, the cities with the largest populations are also those with the biggest demand for RNs. For example, Los Angeles, which has the largest population in the state at 4.03 million, employs nearly three times more RNs than any other city at 113,890. San Francisco, with a population of 870,887, employs 41,160 RNs. Emergency rooms and ICUs have the biggest demand for RNs, so cities with more of these will naturally employ more nurses.

Top 10 Places For A Nurse To Live
Photo by Victoriano Izquierdo on Unsplash
Nurses’ salaries vary greatly depending on where they live in the United States due to several factors, including the cost of living. After finishing nursing school, a major decision for a nurse to make is whether to relocate. A nurse will need to ask questions, such as:
Is a state with a high average nursing salary important?
Is a state with a nurse-friendly hospital important?
Is a state with a lot of job availability important?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted the average salary for a registered nurse was $68,450 for the year 2016. The highest 10 percent earn over $102,000, and the lowest 10 percent earn less than $47,000. Obviously, a nurse’s ideal salary should factor into the decision on where he or she wants to work.
Job Openings, Salaries, and Other Statistics
A report by Wallet Hub revealed there are several factors used to determine what makes a location a good or bad place for a nurse to live. For starters, consider job availability. Moving to a state with the highest average nurse salary will not do a nurse any good if there are not any job openings.
Utah, Hawaii, Mississippi, New York, and Washington have the lowest job availability for a nurse, while the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Vermont offer the highest number of job openings. Wyoming, Nevada, Michigan, Texas, and Arizona, on the other hand, offer the highest annual nursing salary, while Maryland, New York, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii offer the lowest annual salary.
The issue is a state with the highest job availability offers the lowest salary and the state with the highest salary offers the lowest job availability a large portion of the time. So, a nurse needs to decide if job availability or salary is a more important factor.
The following are the best places for nurses to live in 2018.
1. San Francisco, California
According to Nurse.org, San Francisco always makes the top of the list as an ideal place for nurses to call home. The medical industry in the area offers a generous salary that more than covers the cost of living. As an added bonus, the convenient transportation options make it easy to save money on commuting.
2. Dallas or Houston, Texas
Top RN to BSN ranks three different hospitals in the state of Texas among the top 30 most nurse-friendly hospitals in the country. If a supportive work environment is at the top of a nurse’s must-have list, Dallas or Houston, Texas, are ideal places to call home.
3. Boston, Massachusetts
Boston offers nurses the highest pay scale anywhere along the East Coast of the United States. The city offers a lot of job opportunities for nurses interested in teaching or researching medication.
4. New York City, New York
For someone who does not mind the pace of a busy city, New York City, New York, is a dream location for nurses. Littered with high-quality nursing facilities, New York City has a lot to offer.
5. Baltimore, Maryland
Typically, a nurse moves to Baltimore with the dream of working at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The annual salary for nurses in this state is $65,280. This is nearly twice the average annual cost of living in the state for a single adult, which is $33,994.
6. Honolulu, Hawaii
The Hawaii Health Systems Corporation plans to invest millions of dollars into the health care industry over the next few years. This should open additional job availability. Ideally, a nurse should not move to Hawaii until after locking into a nursing job. While it is a wonderful place to live and work, there is a bit of a job shortage presently.
7. Anchorage, Alaska
The high turnover rate in the city of Anchorage results in a steady flow of nursing job opportunities. However, it isn’t an ideal choice for a nurse fresh out of medical school. The health facilities in this city only hire nurses with job experience.
8. Los Angeles, California
Like San Francisco, Los Angeles offers a desirable annual salary and convenient public transportation.
9. Seymour, Indiana
Seymour is home to the most nurse-friendly hospital in the United States. Schneck Medical Center was a recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award a few years ago for going above and beyond with quality standards.
10. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia is home to a wealth of job opportunities for nurses. As home to one of the biggest children’s hospitals in the United States, there is always a demand for pediatric nurses.

Average salary in the USA 2022
Residents of Russia often have a desire to know what is the average salary in the United States? Thinking about immigration, looking for work abroad, or just an interest in comparing living standards in different countries can cause such a question. At the same time, it is important to understand that incomes are always formed on the basis of the state of the economy of a particular region and even a city. A noticeable difference is due to the number of inhabitants, solvency, supply and demand of services. As an example, you can take any region of the Russian Federation and compare earnings for the same professions or positions among residents of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod or any other city.

In the article, we will figure out how wages are formed in the United States, taking into account taxation, consider popular professions, incomes and unemployment rates in individual regions. This will be useful not only for those who want to change their place of residence, but also for those who want to learn something new, understand what kind of earnings Americans have and what is the difference between the wage system in the Russian Federation and the United States.
Average earnings by profession 2022
For American citizens, it is not customary to “measure” wages by a monthly salary. Usually, they immediately indicate the annual amount or the hourly rate. This approach allows you to better understand the prospects or more easily account for income based on hours worked, rather than days or months. This is convenient, since most of the working conditions provide for a “floating” work schedule, extra pay for overtime, which also applies to civil servants. Consider, using the example of a table, what is the average salary in the United States per year. We will pay attention to the professions and positions that foreigners can get.

The amount of income determines the position. Even with identical education and experience, different “money” may be offered for specialists, taking into account the vacancy. For example, the average salary of a programmer in the USA is listed in the table at 90 thousand dollars a year. However, in practice, most of the representatives of this profession earn within 60 thousand, taking into account the deduction of taxes.
Getting the best position “just because”, especially for an immigrant or temporary worker, will not work. As in any other system, you need to work hard, take the initiative. But in some cases, even this may not be enough due to competition. The American dream, when an immigrant with “empty pockets” becomes successful, is achievable only by a few. Most have been in the same positions for decades. But sometimes, conscientious performance of work for a long period of time is enough. For example, the salary of a doctor in the United States with a specialized specialty exceeds $150,000 per year.
Danger of the profession
Income is also determined by the “danger” of the profession. Here we are talking not so much about the dangers of production, but as about the possibility of violent death in the service. Of course, unhealthy working conditions are taken into account. An increased rate is provided, means of protection, additional benefits are provided. One of the most dangerous jobs in America is law enforcement. This is due to the permission to carry weapons, which often causes street shootings. Given the risks, the salary of a police officer in the United States is twice the average. Plus, social protection is provided, including a lifetime pension for the family of the deceased.
Monthly income, USD
The wage system in the United States of America differs significantly from the scheme that exists in our country. Therefore, income for one calendar month must be calculated by yourself. Divide your annual salary by 12. Hourly pay is even more difficult. Standard working hours per week are 35-47 hours. At the same time, you need to take into account that the rate for different shifts and days is different. It is also impossible to guarantee that all days will be worked.
Monthly wages in the US are based on hours worked. In factories and in the service sector, weekly output can reach 60 hours. Such schedules are available both in lower positions that do not require technical or higher education, and in leadership positions. For some, this is an opportunity to get “extra money”, and for others – to climb one more step in the career ladder.
According to statistics, in the first half of 2022, residents of the United States earned an average of $4,300 per month. Importantly, the average salary in the US per month in dollars increases by 5-6% every year.
Salary by individual states (regions)
The level of income of Americans differs markedly from the region in which they work and live. The key factor in this matter is the supply and demand for jobs, as well as for services and goods. The difference in some cases is so palpable that many commute to work in neighboring states, and the costs and time spent on the road more than compensate for the “big money”. Large cities with well-developed infrastructure and tourism are richer by 75%. Consider the example of a table that shows the average salary in the United States per month, taking into account a specific region.

Lowest median income states
An average income of over $5,000 a month is common, but not for every state. The region with the lowest wages at the beginning of 2022 was the state of Mississippi with an average monthly salary of $3,750. In second place is Arkansas with an income of $4,250. West Virginia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Mossad, Missouri and Maine also differ slightly in statistical income. In other states, this figure exceeds $4,300.
Minimum rate, $/hour
According to official data, the minimum rate in USD per hour in 2022 is $7.25. There is also a lower bar, set separately by each state. Unlike the rate set at the federal level, it can change not only up, but also down. Pay for one hour of work is tracked everywhere, even by those who work on a stable daily schedule – 5/2 and have a fixed annual salary.
Despite the presence of a minimum wage fixed by federal law, there are a number of positions where payment is allowed less than the established limit. Low salaries receive:
Nurses and nannies.
Students on a part-time job that does not provide for a full-time job.
Agricultural workers.
Couriers, packers, seasonal “advertisers” and animators.
Positions outside the US.
To a greater extent, this is due to simple requirements and responsibilities, as well as the presence of tips, which make up the bulk of earnings. In the case of work outside the territory of America, everything depends on the economy of the region and the specifics of the work, for example, seafarers on foreign ships.
How much can a migrant earn and how to get a job?
The average salary in the US in rubles for the average resident of Russia seems huge. And this is so, if you do not take into account the cost of living, the price of food, services, clothing, household items, entertainment, etc. Despite this, every year millions of foreigners come to America with the illusion of getting rich quick. As a result, the standard of living for many “does not reach” the average, and the accumulated funds become tangible capital only upon returning home. Even in the best scenario, savings are not enough to start a carefree life.
How to find a job?
Finding a job in America is easy. Since the country’s economy is largely built on hired labor and immigrants, there are several ways to get a job. The easiest is to contact special agencies. They will “charge” an additional fee on top of the cost of documents, but will help with everything, including accommodation. In such cases, they usually earn more from you than you do yourself. It’s easier for those who know the language. They can get a job through the exchange or directly to the employer, so they will get better conditions. To search for vacancies, there are employment exchanges and company websites.
How can I get a job?
Officially . It is better to always choose formal employment, which provides for basic social and medical guarantees. Plus, you will also receive a “white” income, have protection from fraud.
Illegal . Illegal employment attracts many because of the higher wages. But few people realize that it rises due to the lack of insurance payments, the exclusion of part of the tax collection. As a result, in case of an injury, you will have to pay for everything yourself, and medicine in America is quite expensive. In addition, they often initially promise one income, but you get a completely different one. It will also not be possible to object without a formal contract and social guarantees.
How much can you earn?
The average salary in the United States, after taxes, for migrants is lower than what citizens of the country can expect. The only exceptions are in-demand professions or specialists. If we take available positions, then the income is $ 2000-3000. Here you need to take into account that rates and output are different, but in general terms, minus mandatory expenses, the free amount does not exceed $ 1000.
Who can get a job?
More often, immigrants apply for the simplest vacancies that are uninteresting to most local residents:
Pickers . For such a specialty, they may not even require knowledge of the language. The essence of the work is the assembly of goods in production, in logistics centers.
Loaders . In America, moving is a frequent occurrence, so a loader is considered one of the most common vacancies among migrants.
Babysitters and nurses . It all depends on the qualifications of experience and luck. Generous families pay good tips for quality work.
Cleaners . More often than not, the minimum rate is offered, due to too much competition and the simplicity of duties.
Waiters . Earnings are “tied” to tips. Usually, the official rate is several times less than the “minimum wage”. But qualifications, language, experience and attractive appearance can help you get a good job.
Deliveries . Courier delivery of various goods both on foot and by transport. More often it is correspondence, parcels, orders. The main income is tips.
US Minimum Wage 2022
In America, there is a “minimum wage rate (MSW)”, which implies hourly wages. In terms of annual pay, the lowest full-time income would be $10,000 or more. If you take into account the rate of $ 7.25 per hour, then the amount should be higher, but in the USA there is another lower limit for low-skilled workers:
$4.25/hour – interns and teenagers under 20 years old.
$2.13/hour – jobs where the main income comes from tips: waiters, bartenders, couriers.
Against this background, you can consider what is the salary of a teacher in the United States. A teacher receives from 42,000 dollars a year. Income begins to increase after 5 years of experience by 1.5–4% annually. This example shows the attitude towards civil servants and laborers. Such a problem is created by increased demand and hundreds of thousands of migrants from neighboring poor countries, Asia and Africa.
US taxes in 2022
The taxation system in America is very different from the scheme used in Russia. They do not have a fixed income tax. Taxes are paid on a scale of increase in % of earned funds. It is also important that most Americans need to pay their own taxes by filing income declarations. On the one hand, such a system is simpler and allows you to “take” less from those who earn less. At the same time, the absence of a “minimum bar” does not improve the lives of those who already lack funds. Consider taxes on average salaries in the United States using the example of a table:
Rate in %
Income per person in US$
Household income in US$

It seems that after taxes, the average salary in the US does not change much, but this is not the case. The value of every dollar is felt, especially if the standard of living is average or lower. With the exception of mandatory expenses, many people do not have money for savings.
How are taxes calculated in the USA?
Everyone, including migrants, is required to pay taxes on their earned income in America. The status of a tax resident is received by all citizens and living in the country for more than 180 days. The exceptions are diplomats, medical patients and students. You can study in the United States for up to 5 years with a tax-free status. At the same time, there is a non-taxable minimum – $ 12,950 for singles and $ 25,900 for married couples. It implies the first income that can be received in different parts and at different times, the whole amount is considered.
Who collects taxes?
The funds are collected by the IRS. The completed application must be submitted by April 18th. Usually, the employer is responsible for withholding and paying, but you can do it yourself. If you pay by yourself, you have a chance to save. If the voluntary contribution option is selected, it immediately includes all mandatory contributions. Let’s look at them in a table:
Federal income tax
10-37% depending on income level.
State Income Tax
0-10% as fixed or contingent income, as well as federal tax for each state.
Social Security
6.2% of the salary with a voluntary contribution by the employer, who also pays 6.2%. 12.4% for entrepreneurs.
Medical assistance
1.45% basic medical fee, not including insurance that can “expand” the treatment budget.
Local taxes
Additional deductions by decision of the county, city or district.
There are also gift and inheritance taxes, customs duties, excise duties and corporate tax.
US unemployment in 2022
Despite the reforms, there are many people in the States who do not have the opportunity, and sometimes the desire, to work. At the same time, in 2022 their number decreased from 4.8% to 3.6%. Both reforms and the redirection of significant resources to production, the military-industrial complex in order to upgrade and increase weapons, caused by recent events, made it possible to improve the indicator.
US cost of living
The average salary in the US in dollars is 4300 per month. At the same time, this is not an indicator of the prosperity of the entire nation. About 100 million people in the country do not have housing or even bank accounts. Many live on borrowed funds, which are “covered” by the salary, and the new month has to be started again with credit debts. The problem lies in the high prices of accommodation, as well as the need to pay for everything. At the same time, food items, including food, are inexpensive. A used car in relatively good condition can be bought for a “ridiculous” price, by Russian standards. This is due to a glut of offers in the car market.
How much do you need to earn for a good life in the US?
The “good life” should be understood not only as the ability to provide for one’s existence – mandatory daily expenses, but also spending on recreation, as well as savings that will be used for investments or retirement savings. If we take into account these factors, then the minimum figure will be $ 100,000 per year for a family. Here it is also important to take into account the place of residence, since this amount will be felt differently in specific states. For example, for Oklahoma, 100 thousand dollars is a high level of salaries, and for Washington it is quite low, just right for a modest life with an average income.
Basic costs
Quality medicine is very expensive. It feels good in the US. Insurance payments from a salary often do not cover all needs, which is why you have to purchase more expensive insurance in order to underpay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the treatment of serious illnesses and operations. You will have to take care of small children yourself, hire a nanny or send them to kindergartens, and they are private. The school is free, but only children from 5 years old are accepted into it.
Consider the main costs of the average family as a list:
Payment for housing . Most spend around $1,000 on rent. For many, this money is spent on mortgages.
Utility payments . On average, the total check does not exceed $ 200, but again, it all depends on the state, locality, area of \u200b\u200bthe house.
Nutrition . Families of three spend about 1000 on food, not limited to fruits, vegetables or other foods necessary for a balanced and healthy diet.
Medical insurance . “Good insurance” from $500.
Kindergarten or nanny . The nannies are not paid much, and the kindergarten will cost about $500 a month.
Eating out . Many Americans often eat out, visiting the well-known McDonald’s, cafes and restaurants. It takes about $100 per person per day. The exact number depends on where you live.
Average cost of food and clothing
The above figures may seem too “blurry”. Therefore, it makes sense to indicate the average cost of ordinary products and everyday clothes.
Products . Bread costs $2.5, eggs – $2.3, 1 liter of milk – up to $1, potatoes – $2.5. Meat is more expensive, in particular, the price of chicken breast: $ 8-9. Alcoholic drinks: wine – from $10. Fruits and vegetables are more affordable: apples – up to $5, tomatoes – up to $4.
Clothing . A set of casual clothes for warm weather will require up to $150. Shoes are expensive. If we talk about good quality, prices start at $70. Branded items are more expensive.
Thinking about the fact that it is better to live somewhere, you should always remember – “it’s good where we are not.” In conditions of good earnings, there are always many migrants and high competition. Therefore, even for the sake of a minimum, you will have to work hard. America, despite high salaries, does not “give” a good life just like that.

How to find a job in San Francisco
San Francisco, Chicago, Sacramento and New York are the cities where the largest communities of migrants from the post-Soviet space live. Therefore, new immigrants choose these destinations to start life in America.
When looking for a first job, you should understand that American companies are not ready to hire specialists without education, experience and knowledge of the language at the Intermediate + level. Therefore, to start, look for Russian-speaking companies in the city.
You can find jobs in San Francisco using simple and proven methods:
Through bulletin boards for ours in the US.
There are dozens of services on the market that are created to help compatriot pigs in the country. The most popular of them is bazar.club. No registration is required to search the site. In addition, you can additionally place an ad-resume on the bazar (be sure to add a photo, a detailed description of your skills and previous experience, contacts).
Through social networks, instant messengers and forums.
In addition to job markets, it is customary for immigrants to place job advertisements in groups and channels. They create a special atmosphere of mutual assistance, people share their experience and willingly help each other.
The most popular in San Francisco:
Telegram channel Jobs in San Francisco
Vkontakte – Work in San Francisco for our

What professions are in demand among Russian speakers in California
There are a number of jobs in San Francisco that are in high demand among new immigrants. The most demanded in 2022 for Russians, Ukrainians and other applicants from the CIS countries include the following positions:
For men: work in food delivery, driver; trucker, builder, barista (available for students), cook, bike repairman and others.
Women: home attendants, masseur, house staff/nannies, teacher, accountant, landscape designer.
The choice of how to search for vacancies depends on five factors: your status in the country, the level of English proficiency, education/professional experience and personal qualities (soft & hard skills). Based on this data, you can form your search strategy.
We talked in detail about search methods: from acquaintances to bootcamps in our material “Working in the USA: an overview of services and search methods for an immigrant”.
Employment in an American company requires documents confirming your legal status and the right to work in the United States. In addition, depending on the requirements of the employer for a specific position, additional certificates of advanced training, etc. may be required.
If you are in the country illegally, you can also get a job. This will work for the cache. However, you should understand what risks illegal status entails for both you and the employer. This is discussed in detail here.
If you are interested in vacancies with cash payment, then you can find current ads in San Francisco at bazar.club. To search, select the heading “Jobs in San Francisco”, indicate the field of activity in which you are interested in searching and click on the green button “Apply” . After that, the system will offer current vacancies in the city. All offers of employers who are willing to pay applicants “cash” have a special mark on the ad “work for cash” .
The average annual salary in San Francisco is $72,813. However, this range ranges from $64,177 to $192,530. This suggests that there are many opportunities for promotions and pay raises in the city depending on skill level, location and years of experience.

Prices and budget
We lived in the Balkans for two years before moving to the USA. It was then that the ruble fell, and we learned how to save money, plan a budget, and got used to the fact that everything seems expensive. It seemed that the cost of living in the United States should not surprise us much.
1 $ = 60 R
for convenience, we calculated all prices in the article at this rate
It is believed that California is the most expensive state in the United States. According to Gobankingrates.com, Californians spend an average of 35% more on living than other states. Housing costs 92.7% more than the US average, transportation costs 30% more, groceries 15.8%.
The prices surprised us when we compared them with prices in Russia and Europe. As soon as we stopped doing this and built a budget based on local income and expenses, everything became not so scary. We began to spend much more money on food and services, but large purchases, on the contrary, became cheaper. Buying clothes, a laptop or a car here is much more affordable than in Russia or Europe. In general, prices in California are comparable to the average local income.
Visas and relocation
Millions of people try to move to America every year. Few succeed. In my opinion, the American visa legislation can be described as follows: a lot of opportunities and no specifics.
Typically, professionals move to the US on an h2B visa. There are few such visas – several tens of thousands a year, and those who wish – hundreds of thousands. Therefore, h2B is played in the lottery. You can apply for h2B if you have a job offer in the USA. At the same time, the employer must prove that he tried, but could not find among the Americans the same great specialist as you. In any case, you will have to participate in the lottery. No matter how much a company wants to hire an employee, h2B is a lottery, everyone is equal in front of it.
A green card is also drawn in the lottery – a permanent residence permit in the United States. The chances of winning a green card are even less, for Russian citizens about 1 in 100.
/ticket-to-usa/
Can you move to the USA?
There is an O1 visa, popularly called the “gifted visa”. It is given for talents and achievements: you need to prove that you are a recognized scientist, an artist respected in your homeland, a successful entrepreneur, and so on. You will need letters of recommendation, your published articles (or articles about you), evidence that you have influenced the development of the industry in which you worked. The O1 visa is issued without a lottery. In addition, you can get a study visa with a part-time work permit, a fiancé visa, and so on.
American visa legislation is very extensive, it is impossible to deal with it without a lawyer, therefore, a lawyer is always involved in processing any long-term American visa.
It is very difficult to deal with US visa laws without a lawyer.
Many come to the USA on a tourist visa and stay illegally, and then legalize their status in the most unthinkable ways. The period of stay in the country is determined individually at passport control. Usually it’s six months.
Among migrants, there is an opinion that the US visa legislation is so complicated on purpose that either talented or very enterprising people come to the country who managed to overcome all barriers, fit into society, find people who can vouch for them, and by any means stay here .
Climate and nature
California is a sunny state. However, unlike Los Angeles, where it is warm and +30 °C all year round, San Francisco is always cool and windy. You need to dress in layers here, otherwise it’s hot in the sun and cold in the shade. There is a strong wind in the city, sometimes there is a humid fog. Hot summers are rare here. I love the heat, but for work and study, the same cool weather all year round is ideal.
The water in the ocean is cold, you can only swim in a wetsuit. Waves all year round. The locals do not lie on the beach, but go surfing, kiting and kayaking.
Kiters on San Francisco Beach
There are many animals in San Francisco. You can meet raccoons, hummingbirds, fur seals and lions, herons, pelicans. Turtles and coyotes live in city parks. Deer, cougars, wild turkeys are found within a 15-minute drive from the city. The trees here are huge: the famous redwoods, eucalyptus and sequoias are very beautiful and smell incredibly delicious.

San Francisco is divided into districts and communities – national or interest. There is a business district, a jazz district, a crime district, Chinatown, Japantown, Little Italy, Russian Hill, there are Mexican districts, and so on.
The business district is similar to New York: dense building of skyscrapers and lack of greenery.
San Francisco has both skyscrapers and Victorian houses
Victorian houses are very popular in the city. Most of the old residential areas are built up with two- or three-story houses with bay windows and towers.
There are many homeless people in San Francisco. It’s a whole subculture here. On some streets – under overpasses or along railway tracks – entire tent camps are organized. Many live without tents, simply laying out a sleeping bag somewhere under the roof at night, and resting on the sidewalk during the day.
The homeless in the city are full members of society. The people around them do not avoid them. A passer-by on the way to work can simply sit next to such a tent and chat for a couple of minutes with a homeless person about life.

Professional migrants flock to San Francisco. There are more men than women here, the average age of the inhabitants is 25-40 years. There are very few elderly people and children in the city.
Here you constantly see how new technologies are created. For example, a cafe with a robot bartender, shoes made from recycled plastic bottles, or unmanned taxis are all part of everyday life in San Francisco. It seems that the future here comes earlier than in other cities.

Housing
Housing in San Francisco is very expensive, twice as expensive as the US average. A one-room studio apartment of 50 m² in a typical area costs from $2,600 (R156,000) per month. An apartment with one bedroom and one more room will cost $3,000 (R180,000) per month. Within this budget, finding an apartment is quite easy, because people in the city often change housing after work, and new offers for rent appear all the time.

You can rent housing from a management company or a private person. The management company has higher prices, but it will help if a pipe breaks, the refrigerator breaks, or the ventilation turns off. You can search for housing on any real estate rental site, but I recommend making a list of residential complexes in the desired area, calling their offices and asking them to pick up options for you. An apartment is usually found in a couple of weeks. We found a suitable apartment in four days.
A passport with any visa is enough to rent a house (a tourist visa is also suitable). You will also need an American bank account and a deposit. For Americans, the deposit is small, usually $200-400 (R12,000-24,000). For visitors without a credit history, the landlord can ask for a deposit of up to four monthly payments.

In America, apartments for long-term rent are rented unfurnished. Usually only a bathroom and a kitchen are equipped. In living rooms, in addition to furniture, there is no light and even hooks for a chandelier on the ceilings. Many people simply put floor lamps in to save money. We were lucky: we had an equipped dressing room with shelves and drawers. This saved us about 1000 $ (60 000 R) during the arrangement.
For the first two weeks we dined at this table
As soon as we rented an apartment, we immediately went to the store. I had to buy a mattress, a blanket, pillows, bed linen, towels, lamps, chairs, dishes, a kettle, an iron, a hair dryer, and basic household chemicals. It took us about $1,500 (90,000 R). The next step was to buy furniture.

There are many companies in San Francisco that offer furniture for rent. Putting designer furniture (not Ikea) – a bed with a couple of bedside tables, a dining table with chairs, a TV cabinet and a sofa – costs from $600 (36,000 R) per month. You just need to report the dimensions of your apartment, the desired set of furniture and style.
The company itself will complete the sets, bring and arrange the furniture in the apartment. Buy a set of furniture for life in Ikea – from $ 1,300 (78,000 R). If you want not the simplest furniture, then from $ 2,000 (120,000 R).
Apartment furniture can also be rented
In houses, everything is usually thought out for the leisure of residents: there is a barbecue, a swimming pool, and sports grounds. Our residential complex has two gyms, indoor areas with billiards, ping-pong, table curling, a climbing wall and a basketball hall. Yoga and fitness classes are held. It’s all free for residents and their guests.
A two-room apartment of 70 m² in a residential area of San Francisco costs $650,000 (R39,000,000). And for a million dollars (60,000,000 R) you can buy the same apartment in the center, in a new house with a concierge and a gym. A house on the outskirts of the city on the ocean costs about the same.
Americans usually buy housing with a mortgage. Interest rates are constantly changing, but in general, you can count on 3-5% per annum. The minimum down payment starts from 5% of the total cost of housing.
Pets
We moved to San Francisco with two small dogs. Finding an apartment here that is allowed to live with a dog is difficult. When we nevertheless chose an apartment and began to conclude an agreement, we were asked to fill out a separate questionnaire for each dog. It was necessary to indicate names, breed, age, character traits, favorite food and familiar commands. This is necessary in case the management company needs to enter the apartment during our absence or so that in the event of an emergency evacuation, our dogs will not be forgotten to evacuate.
Since we were staying with dogs, the amount of our deposit has tripled: without dogs we would leave $250 (15,000 R), and with dogs — $750 (45,000 R). The cost of rent has also increased: each pet costs $75 (4500 R) per month. We have two dogs, so we pay an additional $150 (R9000) per month.

We spend $420 per month on keeping dogs in San Francisco
You can go to a psychotherapist and get a certificate stating that you have an emotional dependence on your animal. Then he will be assigned the status of a service dog or emotional support animal. With such a certificate from a doctor, it is allowed to move into any apartment without restrictions, in addition, in most cases, the tenant is exempted from the extra charge to the rent for the animal. This scheme was recommended to us by a realtor, but we did not use it, because we consider it fair to pay for lawn cleaning, replanting plants and dog bags in dispensers on the territory of a neighboring park.
Veterinary care in San Francisco is expensive. A doctor’s examination costs $60 (3600 R), and the treatment of almost any disease or injury is measured in thousands of dollars. Therefore, many owners take out veterinary insurance for animals.
$60
it costs to see the animal at the veterinarian
Our dogs are young and small, so the insurance costs $40 (2400 R) per month for each dog. If the dogs were over 8 years old, the insurance would cost twice as much. Even with insurance for treatment, in which case you will have to pay: the insurance plan covers 80% of the bill, has a payout limit of $10,000 (600,000 R) per year and a one-time deductible of $250 (15,000 R).
Insurance for pets is required, otherwise the treatment will cost thousands of dollars
In addition, our insurance does not cover vaccinations, dental cleanings, routine tests of the animal. You can get unlimited insurance with full coverage, but it will cost from $120 (7200 R) per month for each dog.
Training, behavior modification, walkers, dog sitters and dog daycare are the services most of our neighbors use. Here it is the norm. The course of social adaptation is considered a basic need, therefore it is relatively inexpensive – $ 350-500 (21,000-30,000 R). Behavior correction is also a popular service. An hour and a half of work by a correction specialist costs $100-150 (6000-9000 R), as in Moscow.
Most dogs in San Francisco walk at least three times a day. During the day, 70% of people walking their dogs are not owners. In San Francisco, the services of dog walkers, or “dog sitters”, are very popular. There are 20 competing companies with a huge staff of walkers. Many people with shift schedules work like this.
The cost of an hour of walking – from $ 30 (1800 R). “Kindergarten” for dogs in San Francisco is more common than kindergarten for children. Every house has at least one within walking distance. Working owners take their dogs there for the whole day so that they do not stay at home alone. This service costs from $50 (3000 R) per day.
Dog walker is a very popular side job in San Francisco
We don’t use “kindergarten” because our angry Russian dogs don’t like socializing very much.
In America, dogs can be left alone at home if they can tolerate being alone. But if the dog barks or howls in the apartment for several hours in a row, then the neighbors or the management company can call the animal protection service. The service employee will take the dog to the dog hotel, and the owner will be billed for the hotel from $100 (3,000 R) per day, a fine of $300 (18,000 R) and a warning for cruelty to animals.
$420
We spend on two dogs per month
Our average monthly budget for two dogs is $420 (R25,200). The average San Francisco with a dog uses a lot more services than we do and pays about $400 (R24,000) per animal.
Payments
We pay about $90 (5400 R) per month for water, house maintenance, garbage collection. Electricity costs another $50-80 (3000-4800 R). If you live in your own house, then you will pay about $100-150 for a communal apartment (6000-9000 R) per month.
Internet is expensive in the USA: Wi-Fi in an apartment costs $70 (4200 R) per month. It takes about $50 (3000 R) per month for a mobile connection with the Internet.
It is worth talking about the Internet in detail, because it is bad and expensive in San Francisco. We have held an optician, rare for California. The provider treats us as users of a new cool service. It is surprising that in a city whose Internet business rules the world, the presence of constant access to the network is not perceived as something vital at all.

Wi-Fi is available in the apartment for a month
One Saturday morning we lost internet. The support service arranged for us to visit the master for the next Saturday – that is, it was assumed that we would be without a network for a week. As a result, it turned out that road workers damaged the Internet cable and the network did not work in the entire area. They fixed it three days later. All these three days, the provider’s support service was torn by calls from angry residents of the area, most of whom work in IT.
Banks
A migrant’s integration into the US begins with a visit to a bank. You can open a debit account with a foreign passport and any visa confirming your legal stay in the country, including a tourist one. The bank makes a card for the account for several days, after which it sends an envelope with the card by regular mail – it will be put in the mailbox, left at the concierge, or stuck in the door gap. For security, they will write on the envelope that personal data is inside. Opening someone else’s envelope is a crime.
Internet banking and banking mobile apps surprised me: they have an outdated interface, limited functions, and transfers between your accounts can take several days, especially if you send it on Friday after 2 pm.
An “electronic payment” for renting an apartment may look like this: go to your personal account, press the button for transferring funds, the bank receives a request, prints a check, puts it in an envelope and sends it by mail to the leasing company.
Transfer between own accounts can take two days
American banks are trying to adapt to urban communities and neighborhoods. An ordinary American bank in Chinatown operates in an office that looks like a pagoda temple, while in the LGBT district, the Castro Bank is decorated in rainbow colors.

Credit history
Credit history in the United States is a record of your responsibility. It records not only timely loan payments, but also paid bills for mobile communications and the Internet, for rent and housing and communal services. Based on the credit history, they make a decision on signing a housing rental contract, on the conditions for issuing a loan and enrolling in studies.
Every organization that wants to verify your trustworthiness has the right to access information about your credit history.
There is a vicious circle: if you do not have a credit history, then you will not be issued a credit card. And if you don’t have a credit card that you regularly demonstrate the ability to spend and pay back, you won’t have a credit history.
Credit history is the most important characteristic for a resident of the USA
Some banks in America have an unusual “loan” plan for beginners – Secured Credit Card. You get a credit card and deposit $500 (30,000 R) on it. Forget it’s your $500 and pretend it’s your credit card limit. You can take this money “on credit”, you have a payment schedule, according to which you must spend and return money to the card. This is how you demonstrate to the bank that you are a conscientious person and remember about your mandatory payments. After six months or a year of such a performance, your credit limit can be extended to $1,000-1,500.
Medical care
Medicine in America is always a big expense. The treatment of almost any injury or disease is measured in thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is extremely important to have health insurance.
Medical insurance here is catastrophe insurance. Insurance compensates for most of the costs of medical care, but does not cover them entirely, you still have to pay out of your own pocket.
Insurance costs from $350 (R21,000) to $800 (R48,000) per person per month. When choosing an insurance plan, you need to focus on three main numbers:
monthly payment for insurance;
the amount of payments when contacting a doctor;
is the maximum amount of potential costs per year.
For example, you can save on the insurance itself and pay less per month, but then your bills will increase with each visit to the doctor. And if you want to generally monitor your health and visit the doctor regularly, then you will have to allocate money for this in the monthly budget.
For comparison, a visit to the doctor for a person without insurance will cost from $150 (9000 R), for the insured – from $ 20 (1200 R). An x-ray without insurance will cost from $300 (18,000 R) to several thousand. Some companies in San Francisco and Silicon Valley cover insurance and all additional medical costs for their employees.

costs a doctor’s appointment if you don’t have insurance. If you have insurance — $20
Food and shopping
For the first few months, I went to grocery stores like a museum. I can’t say that our food preferences have changed a lot, but there are many new dishes that we cook at home. In any chain store you can find dozens of meats, hundreds of different sauces, excellent fruits and vegetables, and Californian cheeses and wines are so good and varied that we still haven’t tried everything.
Going to the store for less than $50 (3000 R) will not work. The average check is $70 (4200 R).
$70
our average check at the grocery store
We spend $500-600 (R30,000-36,000) a month on groceries and household chemicals.
The water in San Francisco and Silicon Valley is clean and drinkable from the tap. Therefore, during lunch, most people do not order drinks with food, but simply ask for a glass of water – it’s free.
Bringing your bottle of water to a diner or cafe is also quite normal. If you order only food, then you can dine for $15-20 (900-1200 R). Coffee or tea – another $ 2-4 (120-240 R).
Tap water in San Francisco is safe to drink
Coupons and discount cards in the USA are power. This is where they really work. If you get discount cards from different stores and pay attention to bonuses and coupons from time to time, you can save up to $15 (900 R) per check.
Friday Deals
Store sales are held for every possible occasion, holiday, or event such as the victory of your favorite city sports team. And also without a case: discounts are sent by mail, there are discounts on the days of the week for certain credit cards, the discount can be found on the store’s website. If you really liked a thing, but there is no discount, then you can always find it in another store at a discount, or just wait a couple of weeks – and it will cost less.
During the move, we brought three suitcases of things with us. But these clothes were not enough for life, so we bought a significant part of the wardrobe and spent $800 (48,000 R) each due to Black Friday sales.
Transportation
San Francisco residents mostly manage without their own car. The city is small, many places can be reached on foot, by bike or scooter, especially since the weather allows it all year round. There are also problems with parking: it is scarce and expensive. A parking space in our house costs $300 (R18,000) per month. Leaving the car on the sidewalk will not work: they are guaranteed to be evacuated and a fine will be issued.

Many city dwellers give up cars in favor of bicycles, hoverboards and skateboards with motors.
If you travel far, it is better to use public transport. The city has buses, trams, metro. The metro has five lines, they connect with cities on the other side of the bay.
San Francisco Subway Map
Another convenient and inexpensive taxi in San Francisco. Every second car in the city is an Uber or an Elevator. If you share a trip with other passengers in the Uber Pool, you will pay $5-10 (300-600 R). A typical trip to Uber X costs $7–20 (R420–1200).
From San Francisco to any city in Silicon Valley, you can travel on the Caltrain – it’s like an electric train. At rush hour, Caltrain resembles a subway, only all the passengers here write code on a laptop, check tasks in Trello, or generally sit in monitor glasses.

It takes 40-60 minutes and 8 $ (480 R) from San Francisco to Palo Alto. To San Jose – 1-1.5 hours and 17 $ (1020 R). Many companies are located in Silicon Valley, so when choosing housing, it is better to focus on the location of the office, otherwise up to $ 20 (1200 R) per day will only go to the road.

We rent a car on weekends to travel out of town. There is no usual car sharing, but there is a Zipcar service and analogues, the minus of which is that the car must be returned to the same place where it was taken; book a specific number of hours and drive no more than 180 miles per day. Renting a car costs 9-12 $ (540-720 R) per hour or 100-150 $ (6000-9000 R) for the whole day, gasoline is included in this price. If you drive more than 180 miles, you will have to pay 45 cents (27 R) extra for each extra mile.
We take a Zipcar to the mountains
Entertainment and services
There are good museums in San Francisco. Often bring interesting and unusual exhibitions. Entrance to the museum costs about $30 (1800 R). Every museum has free admission days, such as the first Tuesday of the month. There is also a schedule of free days for city districts or for cardholders of a certain bank. But there is a problem with these promotions: on free days, the queues at popular museums are longer than at Picasso in Pushkinsky, so it’s easier to pay $30.

Exploratorium Museum
There are a lot of jazz clubs in San Francisco. All of them are worthy of attention. Almost any concert in the auditorium will cost $50-100 (R3000-6000) per ticket. Classical events are more expensive, and the cost of tickets, for example, for a ballet will be $100-300 (6,000-18,000 R).
Surprisingly, the US beauty industry is always a problem. It is difficult to find a good manicurist, his work costs from $60 (3600 R), and it is almost impossible to find a salon near the house that would meet sanitary expectations. I bought manicure equipment and do my own manicure at home. These costs paid off in two weeks.
$60
average price for a manicure
Budgeting
Living in San Francisco is interesting, but expensive. If you rent a studio, don’t get sick, don’t buy clothes at all, and once a month entertain yourself with trips out of town in a rented car, then a family of two people needs about $5,000 (300,000 R) per month.
With a budget of $8,000 (480,000 R) you can live more freely, but with children and traveling abroad it will be hard. A comfortable budget for living in San Francisco is from $10,000 (R600,000) per month.
We really like San Francisco. It has good weather, a dynamic environment, and plenty of business and career opportunities. I want to do more and achieve more. At the same time, we do not feel here a crazy rhythm, overload or irritation from the people around us. There is a time for everything here, and people do not forget to relax and devote time to themselves and their hobbies.

Gross wages for the amount your employer pays you
W-2 wages wages that appear on the W-2 Yearbooks issued to his employer each year in January. A copy on the W-2 is sent to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This is the gross salary less contributions to pre-tax plans. The W-2 form also shows the amount withheld by the employer for federal income tax. W-2 Salary = gross salary less (contribution to Employer’s pension plan) less (employer’s health plan contributions) less (contributions to some other employer’s plans)

Why should I become a real estate broker and not an agent, you ask? First, a real estate broker earns more on average than agents. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for a real estate broker is $75,910. In comparison, the typical real estate agent compensation is $20,000, which is 20% less.
Brokers have more options than agents in terms of how to run their business and make money beyond direct wages. For example, a brokerage license allows brokers to own and operate property management companies that maintain and rent properties in multiple jurisdictions.
The amount of money you can earn as a real estate broker is determined by a number of factors.
#1. Experience
New brokers must devote more time and money to recruiting, expanding their client base and marketing their company, which results in fewer transactions and lower wages. Veteran brokers, on the other hand, tend to have more listings, as well as more prestige and expertise in the local market.
No. 2. Niche / Specialty
Real estate brokers who specialize in specific transactions or types of property can expect to make more money than other generalists. According to a recent survey conducted by Real Estate Express, the six most profitable real estate specializations are as follows:
Commercial real estate relocation services luxury real estate
Investments from abroad
Investment properties
Green and environmental friendly
#3. Business size
Brokers with larger organizations have more agents, which means they can earn commissions on more transactions. On the other hand, an increase in staff and office increases operating costs, which can reduce your broker’s profits.
#4. Location
Finally, one of the most important aspects when deciding whether to remunerate a real estate broker is where you live and work. Housing prices and consumer demand, as well as other business expenses, are determined by location. This is true both at the state and local level.
Finally, the type of broker you are can affect your income from a real estate broker. In general, there are three categories of real estate brokers:
#1.
Owner Broker
By law, every real estate firm must be supervised by an owner broker. In addition, the broker owner may be personally involved in day-to-day operations, or he or she may hire a managing broker and take a more hands-off approach to the company. In either case, he or she is legally responsible for all of the firm’s transactions. According to the National Association of Realtors, about 33% of all brokers are individual owners of their business.
No. 2. Real estate broker
Some brokers prefer to work for an owner broker rather than own a business. These managing brokers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the firm.
#3. Associate Broker
These brokers, also known as broker partners, work under the supervision of a managing broker. Some associate brokers remain in the same positions as sales agents, while others step back to focus on certain parts of the firm, such as technology, marketing, or training.
Different types of brokers have different costs, and these costs can significantly affect their bottom line. For example, an associate broker who is actively involved in transactions may incur costs similar to those of a regular agent (e.g., marketing and advertising costs, vehicles), while broker owners incur more significant costs (e.g., office rental costs, technology and hiring). have a significant impact on their final results.
As stated earlier, real estate broker compensation varies greatly by location. Average salaries for all 50 states plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico can be found here.

Even if they have siblings who have “been there, done that,” sending a child off to preschool for the first time is nerve-racking. Will they feel scared? Will they cry? Will they pee their pants?! A child’s first day of pre-K is a big day filled with tons of emotions for family members and caregivers alike. Fortunately, there are ways to make this transition go smoothly — and it all starts at home.
“The single-most important thing parents can do when their child is going to school for the first time is to fully process their own feelings,” says Emily Shapiro, an early childhood admissions consultant in New York City. “Of course it’s scary to put your child in the hands of people who are seemingly strangers, but you want to protect your child from your own anxieties so they’re more excited than nervous on their big day.”
While getting mixed emotions in check plays a big part in lowering stress for kids on their big day, it isn’t the only way to have a great first day of preschool. Here are nine expert tips for a successful first day of preschool.
1. Take time to sort through your feelings
It’s perfectly normal and valid to have mixed emotions on a child’s first day of preschool, but like Shapiro says, it’s crucial to sort through these feelings beforehand so you can present a strong, calm front on the big day.
“Whether you talk to your friends and family, journal or use a favorite go-to outlet, it’s important to work through your big feelings in advance, so you’re not losing it at the door to the classroom,” says Ruthie Arbit, licensed independent clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in maternal and pediatric mental health.
Arbit notes that it’s OK to matter-of-factly explain to kids how you’re feeling beforehand by saying something like, “I also have a lot of big feelings about you starting school soon, and here are some thoughts that help me…”
While having that conversation, you’ll do well to manage your own ambivalence and hesitation, Arbit says.
“Kids are very perceptive and rely on parents and caregivers to help them keep calm when things are scary,” she says.
2. Visit the school together
“Most childhood development programs have a phase-in schedule, where you can take the child in for a visit before school starts,” says Shapiro. “Take advantage of that. It helps children get a sense of the classroom while you’re with them.”
Arbit suggests taking a photo of the classroom during such a visit so you can study the picture together and try to find specifics in the classroom at home.
“Before the first day, you can remind soon-to-be students of something particular in the classroom, such as a toy or picture, they liked,” she says.
3. Pack a piece of home
Both Arbit and Shapiro recommend sending kids to school with a memento or two from home.
“Family photos are very helpful for kids when they go to school,” says Shapiro. “It supports their knowledge of object permanence. They can deeply believe that you exist when you’re not there.”
You may also consider tucking a scarf that smells of you or a lovey into their backpack.
4. Nail down the morning routine
Don’t wait until the day of to make sure kids are up and at ‘em at an appropriate time. Not only will it be jarring, but it will serve as yet another schedule change they’ll have to get accustomed to.
“The previous week, do the morning routine as much as you can — get up, get dressed, eat breakfast and even walk or drive to school,” says Shapiro. “If all of those things aren’t brand new to your child, then they won’t have used up too many of their resources for getting to know new things.”
5. Don’t talk about it too far in advance
According to Shapiro, talking about the first day of preschool too far in advance will only serve to build anxiety and confusion because the child is never going to know if the next day is the day.
“A week before school, explain to kids what they’re going to do the following day,” says Shapiro. “Then, the night before school, routinely tell them what they’re going to do the next day, just as you’ve been doing. This way, they’ve had the experience of hearing about the next day multiple times, so they can picture and anticipate what’s to come.”
6. Give them some control
Let kids pick out their backpack, lunchbox and any other fun school supplies you may be required to purchase.
“Engage kids by having them pick out their backpack, help pack their lunch and put name labels on things,” says Arbit. “Not only will it be exciting for them, it will give them more control in the preparation process.”
7. Mimic preschool rules and routines
Have a child who naps whenever? You may want to work on changing that when you’re about a month or so out from school starting.
“It’s a good idea to get on a similar schedule to the preschool schedule,” says Arbit. “If a child normally naps at 2 p.m. and school has the kids on a noon nap schedule, try to get your schedules aligned. ”
Having kids wake up earlier than they’re used to (in order to get ready for school) may prompt them to get sleepier earlier than usual. And if they protest a new nap time initially, keep at it by using the same nap time routine you’ve always used. If they refuse to go to sleep, quiet time during the school’s designated nap time is a good alternative.
Additionally, Arbit recommends getting kids accustomed to any procedures that may feel foreign to them at school.
“If a child is going to have to take off their own coat or use a different type of potty, try to get them acclimated beforehand,” says Arbit. “That said, don’t fret if their home life is different from the preschool setup. Preschool teachers are angels with pixie dust, and kiddos will learn to sleep in a new cot and do new things in no time.”
And of course on the morning of the big day, plan accordingly.
“It’s a good idea to wake up earlier than usual to account for anything surprising that may happen on the first day,” says Arbit. “Also, have everything ready the night before, so the morning can be as seamless as possible.”
8. Walk them through their day — and add in something fun
“If your child has questions about what the day will be like, walk them through it by giving a quick schedule,” says Arbit. “You can say something like: ‘In the morning you will have some free play, delicious snack time, playground time, lunch, nap and then I’ll see you.’ Kids like knowing what their day will look like.”
Arbit also suggests giving kids something fun to look forward to at the end of the day, such as a beloved meal.
“Tell them that after you pick them up, you’re going to make their favorite mac and cheese dinner,” she says. “This is the bookend to their morning routine and will help give them some clarity on what the day will look like.”
9. Don’t sneak out — and don’t linger too long
If a child starts fussing when it’s time for you to leave, it may be tempting to sneak out, but don’t.
“When you sneak away from a child who’s crying, you’re protecting yourself from having to experience their displeasure because it’s more comfortable for you,” says Shapiro. “Your message essentially is: ‘I can’t tolerate you being upset.’ Additionally, sneaking out can create a situation where a child refuses to engage in anything when you drop them off in the future because they’re being vigilant about you leaving.”
Try to have a teacher or aide help calm the child down, and, as long as he or she isn’t genuinely afraid — but more so protesting your exit — it’s OK to say goodbye and leave.
“You have to trust the people you chose to care for your child,” Shapiro says. “You can’t console and leave at the same time.”
On the flip side, as hard as it is to see your child in uncharted territory, don’t drag your farewell out too much, especially if they seem OK.
“Don’t linger too long at preschool drop-off,” says Arbit. “Try to get the child engaged in an activity before you leave and give them a few warnings. You can sit down together and start playing a game and give five-, three- and one-minute reminders before leaving. You can also introduce your child to another child, so they have a buddy when you leave.”
Most importantly, when you’re walking out the door, try to keep things in perspective. “Remember that kids are more resilient than you think,” says Arbit. “Even if the change is hard at first, they’ll adjust pretty quickly.”

First Days of Pre-K – PreKinders
Many new teachers, or teachers new to Pre-K, ask how to begin the year.
How to survive the First Days of Pre-K!
The best advice I got as a new teacher was to forget about apples and themes and any “cutesy stuff” for the first few weeks of school, and focus on teaching them how to use the centers and the materials in the classroom. Lessons at the beginning of school should be basic: how to use glue, how to use scissors, how to use markers, how to use paint, how to line up, etc. Don’t assume that they know these things.
Before the First Day
As soon as I get my class list, I send out a small packet to the parents. The packet includes a letter to the parents introducing myself and my assistant with some brief information about our program and curriculum. It also includes a child info sheet. I ask the parents to bring these to school on orientation day, and remind them of the date and time. The packet also has a “First Day Fears” letter, explaining separation anxieties and some tips for a smooth transition to school. Here’s a link to a First Day Fears Letter (originally from Ms. Bonthuis’ site).
Click to download the Child Information Sheet
Orientation
At orientation, we have the children go in another room to watch a movie, while the teachers give a presentation to the parents. I try to keep it brief, so the children have time to come in and explore the classroom.
I draw a map on the board for parents who don’t know our school’s arrival and dismissal procedures. I explain a little about the curriculum and briefly go over our handbook, then allow them time to ask questions.
I have sign-up sheets on the tables for volunteer time and for parents to write how their child will get home (car, walk, daycare van, or extended day). I also pass out our daily folders and explain their purpose.
Daily Folders
How we use the daily folders: The daily folders are used all year, and are brought to school every day. They are used as a communication tool between home and school. Parents are asked to send any notes to me or the school or any money in the folder, and I send any notes from me or the school to them. The child’s work is also sent home in the folder.
I put a copy of our handbook and our curriculum in the folder for orientation day, and have the parents take them home and return them the first day of school.
Where we get our daily folders: The folders we use are plastic with clear covers on the front and back and clear pockets on the inside. I slip a decorated paper in the front pocket with the child’s name, school name, and grade. It also says “Please return daily” as a reminder to the parents. The back pocket has a monthly class calendar. The inside pockets have “return to school” written on the left side, and “keep at home” written on the right side. The folders are from Nicky’s Folders. I’ve been using these for years, and they are very durable.
First Day of School Arrival
The first day of school is always very busy at arrival time because parents remember something they need to tell me or ask me, and the children want to wander around the room pulling things out.
On the tables, I set out crayons and paper with the words “I drew this on the first day of school” printed on the bottom. I save these for their portfolios. I also put Legos on the table to keep the kids busy. My assistant helps steer the wanderers back to the table to help keep the first day chaos down to a minimum.

Center Time
It’s nice to have a wide variety of materials in the centers for the children to use, but this can be overwhelming at the first of the year. It’s better to have less to begin with, let them get used to the room and how things are set up, then bring more materials out a few at a time. I introduce most materials at small group time before I put them in the center. I don’t have closet space to put things away, so I actually do have lots of things on the shelves at the beginning of the year, it just isn’t all available. It’s also a good idea to keep everything in the same place all year because it is less confusing for the kids. You don’t want to rearrange things on your shelves too much because the kids will never understand how and where they should be put away.
I have my centers set up how I want them to be for the year, but I turn the shelves around facing the walls, and bag up or wrap up some of the items. I wrap or bag the materials at the end of each year. That way, they’re packed for the summer and ready for the beginning of the next school year (and dust free!) The first few weeks of school, I only have the blocks, housekeeping, art, and reading center available. I slowly add other centers.
I do a lesson for each center before the kids use it, and we go over each center’s rules every day for the first few weeks. The first day of school, I split the class in half. My assistant takes half to the housekeeping center and I take half to the block center (afterwards, we switch). We show them where everything goes, and we explain safety rules (such as not throwing blocks or throwing things from the loft). We take a few things down and put them away asking the children if they remember where they go. Then, each child is given one or more items from that center and the children take turns putting them away. There are times when we have to repeat this. If things get out of hand in a particular center (safety issues or clean up issues), I close that center for a day, and we review the rules before using it again.
Tips for each center:
HOUSEKEEPING: I don’t add dress-up clothes until September (2nd month of school for us).
BLOCKS: At the beginning, we only have the basic wooden blocks. I don’t add cars and trucks or animals until later.
ART: My art center has a lot of materials. The first few weeks, the only materials available are paper, markers, crayons, glue, and scissors. I wrap the other materials in butcher paper and write the contents on the package. When I feel the kids are ready for something new, we open a “present” (the kids love to open a new present).
WRITING: This is done basically the same way as art. The first week, only paper, markers, and pencils are available.
MATH and ABC: I put the manipulatives in 2-gallon ziplock bags and sit the bags down in the tubs. That way the kids can’t get into them and spread them all over the room before we’ve had a chance to go over the center rules. (This particular shelf is large and cannot be turned around.)
READING: I only have a few board books out in the beginning. More books are added later.
SCIENCE: This shelf is turned around backwards until we are ready for it.
Lesson Plans
As mentioned, our first activities and lessons center on learning about the classroom, school procedures, and how to use basic materials. These lessons last as long as needed. There is no set end time for beginning school lessons. See the School Unit page for my beginning school activities and lessons. You can also read about our day in Pre-K and see our schedule.

Science-Based Tips for First Day of Preschool
The first day of preschool or the first day of daycare is exciting, but it can also be an overwhelming experience for young children.
This article will give you 6 tips on how to help your child deal with separation anxiety on this important day.
First Day Of Preschool
So you’ve done the research, visited all the preschools in your area, talked to numerous parents, and finally decided on the one preschool for your toddler.
It is time to start preschool. Your child has been prepped about the first day of preschool and was sent to bed early.
So are you excited about the first pre-k drop-off?
If you’re like most parents, you are dreading the first day of preschool or daycare.
This is probably the first time you will be separated from your baby for a long stretch of time.
As much as it’s hard for you, it’s a lot harder for your toddler.
Starting preschool can be exciting but also nerve-wracking. People may keep telling you stories of how their preschool kids cried for weeks or months before they could settle in the new place
… but kids crying on the first day of nursery school is normal
… screaming and crying are normal
… separation anxiety in preschoolers is normal
… eventually, they will stop and the child will adapt to the new environment
… You just need to get ready and get used to it.
Experience vs Science
Many well-meaning people, including experienced teachers, will tell you to drop off, say goodbye, and then leave as quickly as possible without looking back.
1st day of preschool can be chaotic and overwhelming for the teachers, too. It’s understandable that they want less distraction and parents to be out of the way.
It is true that most children will stop crying within five minutes after seeing their parents leave.
This strategy has proven to work in the grownups’ eyes.
But a strategy that seems to work for grownups (because then we can go about our business) is not always the best for our kids.
Besides the appearance of it “working”, many people favor this ripping-off-the-band-aid strategy because it seems to make sense. We’ve all had that “get it over with” experience.
But this isn’t the right analogy to use in this case.
For starters, the brain works a lot more differently than the skin.
Your child’s brain can think, contemplate and feel emotions. The skin cannot.
Treating a person’s brain as if you’re treating their skin is like telling an airplane pilot to fly a plane by just “paddling and keeping balance”. It’s not only naive but also dangerous.
The first day of preschool can begin without drama. Sending a 3-year-old to preschool can be a positive experience.
In the next section, we’ll look at tips on how to help your toddler adjust to this big day.
Some of the advice is counter-intuitive or counter-conventional wisdom, but they are backed by extensive studies by psychologists and researchers.
The advance in technology and brain studies has given us a lot of information on child development. This new knowledge helps us understand child behavior previously misunderstood, dispel old beliefs and allow us to raise healthier and happier kids.

Here are some tips on how to help ease preschooler separation anxiety on the first day of preschool.
1. Plan to spend lots of time on the first day
at the preschool or daycare
You may receive a lot of advice from experienced parents when you’re preparing for this big day for your preschooler.
You may hear that parents shouldn’t linger. Otherwise, it would be harder for the child to separate, and the child would be less likely to interact with the new people and environment.
So tip #1 is exactly the opposite of this traditional view.
A child learns about this world by observing and experimenting.
If you were the toddler still trying to figure out this world, when you were brought to an unfamiliar place and the person you trusted most left immediately, what would you think?
Would you think that …
“I’m in good hands now. I should trust these new people like Mommy told me to”, or
“Oh no, Mommy runs off. Is this a bad place? Who are these people”?
Most younger toddlers would panic.
They’re scared of separation and they’re anxious about what this new environment would entail.
They don’t understand why you’re leaving, why they’re left behind and what these new people and new places would do to them.
Evolutionarily speaking, it was dangerous for a young child to be away from her parents.
Separation anxiety is a very useful trait built into our genes because it was critical for helpless young kids to stay close to their parents to survive.
That is why the separation distress system in the lower brain is genetically programmed to be hypersensitive.
With the development of the frontal lobes, which doesn’t complete until our mid-twenties, adults learn to inhibit this system and bring it under control cognitively.
But your toddler is not there yet. In fact, they’re still years away from having reliable control of their cognition.
So your toddler’s panicking is normal.
It doesn’t mean she’s weak, spoiled, needy, or clingy.
If your child is crying and fussing during the first drop-off, stay for longer with him.
Most teachers will tell you to just leave.
But what if you’re the toddler, do you want to be abandoned when you’re in distress?
Although separation anxiety is a normal part of toddlerhood, it doesn’t mean we ignore it or let it run its course.
When a kid feels rejected or abandoned, the parts activated in his brain are the same parts activated by physical pain. That means the pain of being rejected resembles physical pain1,2.
Just like we don’t ignore a child when he’s physically hurting, we don’t ignore a child’s emotional pain from separation.
Parents being responsive to their child’s distress has been proven to link to better social-emotional competence and the development of secure attachment3. Consistent responsive parenting is also associated with faster cognitive and social development in young children4.
Not every toddler will suffer from severe separation anxiety.
Given enough prior preparation and maturity, your child may be able to understand what preschool is about and will not cry much.
In this case, confirm with your preschool kid when you will return and do that.
But children that are younger or have a harder time, may require more help. Do NOT feel pressured to abandon your child just because the teachers say it’s ok.
2. Lots of hugging and holding
When we are distressed, our lower brain triggers the release of the stress hormone, cortisol, to prepare our body for a fight-or-flight reaction.
To help a child in distress, hugging is one of the most effective ways.
Hugging or holding facilitates the release of oxytocin, a feel-good chemical, that can cause the level of cortisol to drop.
3. Say goodbye when leaving and point out the time of return
No sneaky disappearance – sneaky disappearance may make the parents feel better because they don’t have to face the child’s devastating cries.
But to the child, being abandoned damages the child’s trust in you.
So don’t just sneak away. Say goodbye before you leave to build trust.
Some parents develop a goodbye routine to make the departure slightly easier and more fun (e.g. goodbye song, goodbye handshake, etc.)
Point to the clock and let him know when you will return to pick him up (and mean it!) even if your child doesn’t know how to read the clock yet.
It’s important that he knows you will return at some point.
4. Pass the holding on to a teacher
Sometimes it is not possible for parents to stay this long. Sometimes your toddler may still be upset even though you’ve already stayed for a long time to help her adapt.
If your child still really cannot calm down when you leave, have a sensitive teacher hold her.
Ask the teacher to spend time talking to her and calming her.
Your toddler must not be still crying or extremely anxious when the holding ends.
Young children cannot regulate their own emotions effectively. They may require a lot of external help to do so5.
5. Shorter days at first
Pick up the child early on day one.
Over the next few days, slowly increase the time he stays to ease him into a full-day program.
Even if a child seems fine, it doesn’t mean he is fine inside.
Cortisol has a circadian cycle. It is naturally high in the morning and reduces as the day goes on. Studies show that young children in daycare have levels of cortisol continually rising throughout the day rather than falling despite the lack of detectable distress from the outside6.
A child can be in distress without crying or looking stressed.
His emotion is just hidden or bottled up.
This is particularly common in cultures where the crying of children, especially boys, is highly discouraged.
To make things worse, children who do not appear to be upset are less likely to get comforted, prolonging the internal dysregulation.
Having a sustained high level of cortisol can lead to hypersensitivity of a child’s distress response system and a multitude of health issues later in life.
So even if the child has stopped crying or seems to be doing fine, it is still better to have shorter days at first.
6. Always be positive and encouraging
On drop off or pick up, be encouraging and be patient, even when the child may not be in her best behavior.
Help the child feel that going to preschool is a positive experience. It’s not a place where her normal behavior will be criticized or reprimanded.
Positive life experience in the early years forms an important foundation on a child’s brain development.

Final Thoughts On The Big Day For PreK
Not all of us can afford the time or resources to follow all of the abovementioned advice on the first day of preschool. It does not mean, however, that we should ignore the real effects on our children and live in denial.
In life, we make tradeoffs within our means based on what we know is best. Get all the facts before making a decision. Knowing you’ve already done your best with what you know is all that matters and there is no need for mom guilt.
For some families, preschool is the parent’s first opportunity to be socially judged whether we are apt parents (by teachers, of all people). They may be under pressure to do what other parents do or what the “authority” tells them. Instead, make decisions in the best interest of your child. Be a good role model to them by not caving in under social pressure.

First day of preschool | BabyCenter
Preschool is a big deal, marking the start of your child’s official school career. Even if your child has been in group childcare, they may feel nervous about the first day of preschool. To ease the transition, try to visit the school with your child and spend some time there before school starts. You can also read books about going to preschool, buy a special backpack or lunch box, and talk about the preschool routine. As part of your preschool prep, make sure to give your child emotional support, too.
What to do on the first day of preschool
Start the day off strong by celebrating this milestone in your child’s life. Consider making a special breakfast and spending extra time with your child in the morning of the first day. Give yourself enough time so you don’t have to rush. As your child heads off to school, think about giving them a transitional object that they can take with them from home to school. Depending on your preschool’s policy, this could be a picture of your family, a lovey, or a special toy.
Talk with your child about what to expect, especially when it comes to saying goodbye to you. For example, you can tell your child that you’ll walk them into school, help them put their things in their cubby, then give them a big hug goodbye. It can be helpful to establish a regular good-bye routine that you do each day at drop off (e.g. a hug, high five, or phrase like “see you later, alligator”).
It’s also wise to build in room for flexibility. You never really know how drop off will go, so plan ahead for different scenarios. Think about what you’ll do if your child cries, and know what your school’s policies are regarding where parents drop off and how long parents are allowed to stay in the classroom.
It’s a good idea to involve the teacher if your child is having a hard time. And once you say goodbye, leave rather than coming back to check in.
Preparing your child for the first day of preschool
Let’s admit it: Change is hard on all of us. Think about how you’ve felt the night before you started a new job – and then think about how many new things your child faces when they start preschool or moves to a new class.
Young kids have a lot of fears – especially when doing something they haven’t done before. Preschool fears can cause them to lie awake at night (or sleep more than normal), backtrack on potty training, or suddenly exhibit aggressive behavior.
Your child may know exactly what they are afraid of – the big slide on the school playground, or having to use an unfamiliar toilet – or they may just feel scared about school without being able to tell you why. Either way, a few simple strategies will help them feel more comfortable with the new experiences ahead:
Get them talking
Encourage your child to open up about anything they’re worried about.
If your child isn’t very verbal, try playing games that introduce the idea of coming and going: Engage your child in a round of hide-and-seek, or slide cars in and out of a toy train tunnel. Then use the game as a launching pad to talk about how the cars – and your child – will always come back when they go somewhere.
You can also set an example by gently relating your own fears: “Sometimes I feel scared when I meet a new person, but I try to be brave and say hi anyway.”
Once they start preschool, ask your child to share about school, but don’t pressure them to share too much. If you want to get more details from your preschooler, ask specific questions like “What was your favorite toy at school today?” rather than broad questions like “How was your day?”
Don’t minimize your child’s feelings
It’s natural to want to comfort your child by saying, “Don’t worry, you’ll make lots of friends at preschool.” But this can actually make them feel more intimidated, since it sends the message that you expect your child to be popular.
Instead, let your child know that you sympathize. “It’s really scary to go to a new school, isn’t it?” you might say. “How could we make it easier?” And, of course, never give your child the impression that you think their worries are silly or trivial.
Try to keep things consistent at home
Too many changes at once can be disruptive. For the first few weeks before and after starting preschool, try not to plan too many things after school. Allow your child a chance to relax and decompress after the stress of going through a big transition.
Let your child take the lead
Involve your child as much as possible in finding solutions to their fears. After all, your child is more likely to try a strategy that they thought of – at least partly – on their own.
For a younger or less verbal preschooler, offer several possible “fixes” for your child’s dilemma, then ask them which they think might work. (See below for specific fears and possible solutions to try.)
Visit if you can
If your child is starting preschool or moving to another class, they may worry about unfamiliar surroundings. Help your child feel more comfortable by visiting before school starts.
If your child hasn’t met their teacher yet, make the introductions and encourage your child to join in an activity or two. Help your child find the cubby or hook where they’ll store their things, and let your child check out the tempting new materials. That way, on the first day of school you can say, “Hey, now you can go back and play with that game you saw!”
Preschoolers often feel anxious about a new playground, especially if it feels big or has challenging equipment. To remedy this, you might be able to visit the schoolyard after hours so your child can climb on the play equipment or ride their tricycle without the intimidating presence of other kids.
The most common preschool fears, and how to ease them
Leaving you
On the first day of school, your child may well cry when you leave. In fact, your child may cry every morning for a few days, or even for a few weeks. It’s a painful process for both of you, and you may cry, too (just try not to do it in front of your child).
Don’t panic or feel bad when your child cries, though. The truth is, their tears don’t mean that they doesn’t like their new school – in fact, your child may soon grow to love it. It’s just that they don’t want to be there without you.
It’s common and developmentally appropriate for preschoolers to experience some separation anxiety. They’re beginning to have a sense of time and know you won’t be coming back to get them any minute, and that’s a hard reality to come to terms with.
The first – and perhaps the hardest – thing you have to do is leave, as calmly as you can. Give your child a big hug, tell them you’ll pick them up after lunch or nap, and then depart, even if you hear them wailing behind you. (If you see a meltdown coming, enlist a teacher’s help in involving your child in a game or activity – or simply sitting with them until the emotion passes.)
Veteran teachers say the most common mistake parents make is to turn back or prolong good-byes until they turn into tearful marathons. Instead, leave promptly and call the teacher for an update an hour or two later. Chances are, you’ll be comforted by a report that your child stopped crying soon after you left and has spent the morning playing with their new friends.
It also helps to find out from the teacher what your preschooler did that day, and to talk about it with them when they get home: “So, you made a collage and played today?” Some parents also make a nightly ritual of naming their child’s new school pals in a song, story, or prayer. Anything you can do to emphasize the daily routine will help your child adjust and quiet their fears.
Using a different potty
One of the toughest changes some kids face when starting preschool is learning to use a new bathroom. With so many preschools requiring kids to be potty trained before they’re enrolled, using the bathroom can become the focus of a lot of stress – for both you and your child.
If you’re panicking because a potty training deadline is fast approaching, take a deep breath – it may be time to rethink your strategy. First, call the school, explain the problem, and find out how hard and fast the rule really is. You may find that the school is open to exceptions, in which case request that your child be one of them.
It’s not a good idea, experts say, to push a child to potty train before they’re ready just to meet an arbitrary deadline. If the school holds firm and your child really isn’t ready, you may need to consider holding them back a bit longer.
An alternative is to put your child in cotton underpants a few days before school starts, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Be prepared for accidents and send extra clothes to school ahead of time. Accidents are common and expected and should be handled matter-of-factly. But many a child has surprised everyone by staying dry (most of the time, at least) when inspired by a classroom full of potty-trained peers.
Participating in a group
It might look like fun to us, but to a shy or retiring preschooler, circle time can be, well, torture. Some kids might be overwhelmed by unfamiliar stories and songs or dread being called on to talk. If this is the case, work with your child’s teacher to see if they can sit on the sidelines to observe circle time before participating.
One way to help your child weather the spotlight is to practice beforehand. On the way to school, for instance, you might ask, “What would you like to share today? Do you want to tell about the caterpillar you found?”
You might also want to ask the teacher for a list of songs the kids sing in class, then listen to them at home so they’re familiar. Knowing all the words to “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” and “Wheels on the Bus” might make your child more comfortable joining in.
Making new friends
Preschoolers can be just as daunted by a roomful of strangers as the rest of us are. To help your child feel less shy, introduce them to as many of their future classmates as you can on your visits to the school.
If a school directory is available, consider using it to set up a playdate with other families that go to the school. Also, many preschools set up new-student meetups before school starts so kids can start getting to know eachother.
If one of your child’s buddies will be in the same school or class, so much the better. Play up the friendship as much as you can, getting the kids together for playdates and emphasizing the fact that they’ll both be going off to “big kid” school or moving up to a new class together. If possible, coordinate your schedules so both kids arrive at the same time on the first day and can walk in together.
As time goes on, keep snapshots of your child’s school buddies on the refrigerator or in their room and talk about them often. After all, preschool is your child’s home away from home, and when your child is there, these kids are their extended family.
Starting preschool: practical tips to help
Before children start preschool
Your child is probably feeling excited as well as a bit nervous about starting preschool. If you start getting your child ready in the weeks and months before the first day, it can help with any mixed feelings. Here are some tips.
Visit the preschool Many preschools offer orientation visits. During these visits, children can see and experience what they’ll do at preschool, who they’ll meet, and what happens during the preschool day.
With permission, you could take some photos of the preschool to show your child before they start. Some preschools have a preparation or orientation book that you can take home with you.
Talk about preschool You can talk about the things your child will do at preschool. For example, ‘Stella, do you remember we saw blocks at preschool? You can build with them like you do at home’. You could look at photos of the preschool together and talk about some of the things that are different from home, like the toilets and playground.
If your child doesn’t seem interested when you talk about preschool, don’t push the conversation.
Keeping things low key can be a good idea too. If you say things like ‘Isn’t it exciting that you’re starting preschool?’, your child might start to feel more anxious because it sounds like a big deal.

When children start preschool
Here are some tips and strategies to help you and your child in the early days and weeks of starting preschool.
Start gradually Many preschools invite parents to stay for a while during the day in the early days. Speak with the preschool teacher and work out a plan that works for you, your child and the preschool.
It’s a good idea to tell your child how long you’re staying, so they don’t get a surprise when you leave.
Have a routine for preschool mornings Routines can help your child feel safe and secure, particularly when new things are happening. You could set up a routine for preschool mornings – for example, get up, have breakfast, clean teeth, get dressed, put on sunscreen, pack lunchbox and go. You could even make a chart with pictures showing the different steps in your routine.
Have a goodbye routine Say goodbye to your child so that they know you’re going, and tell them that you’ll pick them up at the end of the day. You could choose a special place to say goodbye, or an activity to do before you go. For example, ‘If you wave to me from that window, I’ll be able to see you’, or ‘Which book will we read before I go?’
Make sure your child is paying attention when you say goodbye, then say goodbye once and leave. A lot of goodbyes can be stressful for both you and your child.
Communicate with the preschool teachers Children get confidence from seeing warm, positive and friendly interactions between important people in their lives, like their parents and teachers.
Good communication with your child’s teacher also helps you share relevant information so the teacher knows how best to respond to your child. For example, you might let the teacher know about things like grandparents visiting from overseas, your child’s favourite songs or books, or simple words in the language your family speaks at home.
Celebrate your child’s achievements Joining a new group, meeting new people, being in a new environment and learning new ways of doing things are big achievements for your child. You can build your child’s confidence by celebrating them.
For example, praise your child when they meet new people or try something new. Or you could encourage your child to call a family member to share what they’ve achieved at preschool.
Have back-up collection plans Many preschool sessions finish at a specific time. If you tell your child you’ll be there at a specific time, it’s important that you’re there. It’s a good idea to have a back-up plan, so that if you’re delayed or there’s a problem, someone you and your child know and trust can be there to pick them up.
If the person who normally picks up your child from preschool can’t make it, make sure the preschool teachers know who’s coming instead. The teachers will let your child know and ensure your child’s safety.
When children are worried about preschool
Starting preschool can be exciting for your child. But anxiety and tiredness are common too – there’s so much for your child to get used to. You might notice that your child isn’t eating as much, or wants to sleep more. Your child might even seem less happy than usual.
Your child might be worried about finding friends, knowing what to do or being separated from family. Your child might get upset when you leave.
Your child might also worry about what you’ll be doing while they’re at preschool. Will you be doing something special, and will your child be missing out?
Tips to handle worries about starting preschool
Let your child know what you’ll be doing while they’re at preschool. This can help reassure your child that they’re not missing out, especially if you can save their favourite activities for when they’re with you.
Talk with your child about preschool routines. Toby Forward’s book The first day of school is a good discussion starter.
Ask the preschool teacher whether your child can bring something they love from home, like a teddy bear, pillow or blanket. If the preschool allows this, these objects can help your child feel safer. You can gradually phase them out as your child feels more settled.
Talk to the teacher if your child gets upset when you leave. Preschool teachers are experienced at helping children through separation and will have ideas to help you and your child.
Ask the teacher about what might be worrying your child. The teacher can tell you what happens during the preschool day. For example, your child might be worried about using the toilets, eating the food the preschool provides, or finding their things.
Talk with the teacher about strategies to handle specific worries. For example, if your child is worried about food, you might be able to pack some familiar food. If using the toilets seems to be the problem, the teacher can help your child get used to them. Labelling your child’s things can help your child keep track of them.
It can take time for your child to get used to the routine of going to preschool. If you feel your child isn’t settling in, and advice from the teacher isn’t working, you could also try talking to your GP or your child and family health nurse.
When children don’t want to go to preschool anymore
Sometimes children’s excitement carries them through the first few days of preschool. But after a few days or weeks, you might notice that your child seems less keen to go.
In this situation you can keep reacting positively to what your child does at preschool. This can help to spark your child’s enthusiasm again. For example, you might say ‘I love that finger painting you did at preschool. It makes our fridge look so colourful!’
Getting to know other children and families can help your child build friendships that will help them settle into preschool over the longer term.
A predictable routine can also help your child realise that preschool is a regular part of their life now. But if your child still doesn’t want to go to preschool, talk to the preschool teacher, your GP or your child and family health nurse.
The stepladder approach is a step-by-step way of helping with anxiety in children. It’s based on the principle of ‘graded exposure’. This means starting off small, tackling the little things before you face the really scary things.
Your feelings about your child starting preschool
Your child takes cues from you, so if you’re worried about preschool, they’ll pick up on this. But if you show your child that you think they can manage at preschool, they’ll start to believe it too.
If you do have worries, it can help to talk with the preschool teachers. They can tell you how your child is going. It often helps to talk with other parents too.

You will find daily lesson plans and weekly center plans! I put at least one new thing in each center every week, so those are in there for you too.
The number one most important thing you will need to do in the first few weeks is to begin building trust and relationships with each little learner so that they can feel safe and happy. If they feel safe and happy, most likely, the moms will feel safe and happy leaving their children with you each day.
The first two weeks, I sprinkle in tons of All About Me themed activities during the day to help build that relationship with each child in my classroom. It also helps the child get to know me as well. I always participate in every All About Me type activity we do and try to include any other teachers or therapists throughout our room or building.
For most of our little learners, this is the FIRST time they have been to school. Most have no idea how to sit at circle, get in line, eat snacks or lunch at school, wash their hands, clean up, wait their turn, and wipe their own bottoms when they go #2.
The first month is all about teaching all of these routines! It is not wasted time, I promise. Take the time to use visuals and teach each and every classroom routine and expectation. Take the time to teach them now so you can just use cues later.
This Character Ed (aka Social Skills) Bundle has visuals for almost every classroom routine!
Starting on the first day, we practice our morning routine: say bye to mom/dad, put things away, answer the question of the day, sign in, and pick a table time activity. I go over the arrival routine chart, and I model the routine (pretending like I am a student in the class), talking out loud about what steps I need to do so students can hear and see me doing the routine.
Then I have the students put on their backpacks, and we all walk outside the classroom. Students take turns practicing the morning routine, a few at a time, with me cheering them on using the chart as a visual.
It is amazing how much different the arrival time is on the second day just by teaching the arrival routine on the first day!
You will see in my lesson plans I do many activities to help teach our class rules: We take care of ourselves, each other, our school, and our world.
I send a note home to the students’ families, we make class books, and we make anchor charts. We read children’s books and discuss if the character is following the rules. We also talk about how the students feel and how they think others might feel when they do/don’t follow the rules.
We also talk about what could happen if someone doesn’t follow a rule (ex: someone could get hurt, others wouldn’t be able to learn, etc.). I always use natural consequences as examples.
You can grab my Class Rules pack HERE from my store.
Fire drills and any other emergency/safety drills can be super scary for our little students. I teach emergency drills just like I teach any other routine…with visual supports and social stories! We read The Fire Drill at circle time, I model the routine, and the whole class practices a fire drill. Now students know what to expect when that loud alarm goes off later in the week.
I also teach the Playground Rules and it is amazing the difference it makes! You can see in my lesson plans that I slowly introduce all the different choices students have on the playground (balls, bikes, chalk, swings, sandbox, hopscotch, etc.), teaching the rule for each those first 10 days.
On day 5, I introduce the most AMAZING thing ever…..Green and Red Choices at a class meeting.
You can read all about Green and Red Choices in detail HERE. It has been the best thing I have ever created. It has truly changed the way my students behave in my classroom!
During center time the first 5 or so days, I introduce and teach about each center in our classroom. My classroom has 5 centers: art, blocks, pretend, library, and discovery (math, science, STEM).
Instead of open centers the first few weeks, I spend time during center time introducing each center in more detail. I take the whole class (my new class only has 10 kids), and we sit on the floor or at the table in the center.
I introduce the center name, color, and symbol. We talk about the materials in the center, how to use them, who we could pretend to be, and how to clean up. Then the students play in that center for about 20 minutes. When we are done, we go to another center, and we do the same thing all over again!
After I have introduced each center once, the second time, we go to the center as a class to review it. It takes about 5 minutes and then students play in that center for about 25 minutes. Then we go to another center, review it, and play in that center.
When I taught full day (18 kids a day), I split the class in half. Each group went into a different center with a teacher, and after 30 minutes, the kids switched and went to the other center for 30 minutes. The other center times (we had 3 center times a day because we were full day), students could just play in centers as they wished.
You can find this STEM I Can Build anchor chart HERE.
During circle time, I read a book about each center, and we do some kind of interactive anchor chart.
You can grab this Parts of a Scientist anchor chart freebie HERE. Want to know more about how I manage center time? Click HERE.
I always have colored noodles in the sensory table the first few weeks because it’s super easy to clean up. I bought the noodles from the grocery store, and I dyed them using food coloring and rubbing alcohol. Put a dustpan under the sensory table and teach students how to sweep up the items that fall onto the floor. You can make a square with washi tape on the floor for a visual support as well!
I always like to set up a home theme in the pretend center the first month of school.
You can read all about my home living dramatic play theme HERE.
In the library center is my writing table. I place family word cards and student name cards on the writing table for the first two weeks. I have seen how much students enjoy seeing their names and how much it helps them get excited about writing, creating an authentic love for writing in my class!
You can get this family word cards freebie when you sign up for my newsletter HERE.
Each week I add something new to each center, and for back to school, I use a school theme.
These fun, hands-on Math and Literacy School-Themed Centers are what I use for some of my table time activities too!
Make sure you download the lesson plans, CLOSE OUT of the internet, and THEN open the lesson plans to print and/or edit. If you don’t, the formatting will be off, and some of the squares will be filled with colors. You will need Powerpoint to edit lesson plans.
Anything in blue you can click thru to obtain your freebie, or you can go to my online store to purchase or download these items.

If you are wondering what my classroom looked like on the first day, I have a treat for you! I did a Facebook LIVE tour of my classroom after the first day of school this year. I’m showing you EVERYTHING… my classroom, my storage areas, my office, the bathroom, and even inside my cabinets. Oh, the camera is sideways for about two minutes then it flips back to normal. Sorry about that!

The child’s first day at school
Hello, school!
Hello class!
School doors today

And about the games in the yard:
Look carefully
All pictures in the alphabet.
There are new books in your brand new briefcases
.
You will study at school,
Goodbye, kindergarten!
Teacher
– Every day we will talk to each other
“hello”. But not the way you did it in kindergarten. AT
class, it is customary to respond to the greeting of the teacher with a tilt of the head, while standing at
of your party. Let’s try. (Training.). Well done! Sit down please.
– At the lessons we will learn a lot of new things,
interesting and useful, and at recess we can relax and play.
And now we have a little break. I will ask you questions, and you, when is it
you will answer in chorus: “It’s me, it’s me, it’s all my friends!”.
Let’s practice…

Every day steps into
school? (It’s me…).

Which of you will come to class
An hour late?

Likes to sing and
dance?

How is the first day at the language school
1118 Language courses abroad
Arriving at a language school is always an exciting experience. We tell you how not to get confused on the first day.
How to get to the language school for the first time
If the student lives in a host family, she will definitely tell you the best way to get to the school. If you have to travel by public transport, they will help you find a stop, tell you when to get off and explain how to pay the fare.
In the case when the school has the format of a language camp, then employees accompany the children to classes.
Well, if you have already reached the age of majority and live in a residence, then information on how to get to the school will be provided by the school or an EFL specialist.
On the subject: Residence or host family: making the right choice
On the spot: where to go and what to do
All new students are asked to arrive at the school by a certain time. Then they are taken under the wing of the staff of the educational institution. Usually newcomers are gathered in the lobby or assembly hall, where they can get to know the staff and teachers of the school, as well as other students. They immediately hold a meeting where they talk about the school: the rules, the schedule, what is on the territory, what you can use, how to behave, and so on.
Getting to know the school, its staff and facilities
After the meeting, a tour of the school is conducted: you will find out where the classrooms are and what they look like, the dining room, the library, the lounge, the Internet class – in a word, all the premises and services necessary for study and recreation. Here you will find out the hours of their work, which you can use for free and for money.
All important information is always duplicated on the bulletin board and handout flyers. Don’t worry if you don’t remember something right away. You can always ask and find out the necessary information at the school itself from any teacher or on the website.
Perhaps on the first day you will be given study materials. But most often this is done the next day, when it is already known in which group you will study.
Grouping
A language school abroad is always a hodgepodge of students, nationalities, cultures and accents. To make it comfortable for everyone to study with each other, students are divided into groups depending on the level of the language. The level is determined by testing.
How is testing done
The format of the test depends on the school. Usually these are several tasks that reveal your level in language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. The test may include several dialogues and passages of text, multiple choice questions and a short conversation with the teacher, sometimes writing a short text.
What does the test result mean and why you shouldn’t be afraid of it
The test is not graded in the usual sense. Do not worry: it is impossible to fail such a test, because it determines your language level and the group in which you will study. The results are usually ready on the same day. They are posted on the bulletin board at the school: your last name and group number opposite. No twos and fives.
What to do if you are in a group above or below your level
It may happen that the test incorrectly revealed your level. Perhaps you got worried and ended up in a weak group, or vice versa, answered at random and ended up with stronger students. It’s OK. If you think you would be better off studying at a different level, you can always ask to be transferred. Probably, the teacher himself will notice the inconsistency and offer you another group. Share your doubts with the teacher directly or contact an EFL specialist – they will definitely help you. The school is interested in your success, so you will study in a group that suits you best.
Why you should not worry if the first day seemed difficult for you
It is normal to worry and feel confused on the first day in a new place, and even in a foreign country. It is important to remember that this experience is completely new for all students. For each student, English is not native, and everyone came to get new knowledge, fight the fear of making a mistake, in order to finally feel confident in the language.
Teachers and school administrators are well aware and
always ready to give advice, help and support. Not
be afraid to approach the reception and ask questions, even if they seem to you
stupid or strange or you are afraid that you will not understand. All employees have
great work experience and
for many years they are hardly surprised by anything. If, nevertheless, they are in
in case of difficulty, please contact your EFL Accompanying Manager.

Good morning, Yekaterinburg! Schoolchildren are leaving the holidays, traffic jams are returning to the city, there is a rush in flower shops, and we are launching our holiday online, in which we will show how September 1 is celebrated in the city.

The weather on this holiday, to put it mildly, did not please. Cloudy and rainy in the morning. Forecasters promise that during the day the air will warm up to +26 … +28 degrees. But it’s still pretty chilly outside.

Weather on September 1 for ten years
In fact, Yekaterinburg is generally not very lucky with the weather on September 1. For ten years on the Day of Knowledge, there has never been clear weather. See for yourself!

Queues for teachers will soon begin to line up for bouquets. Although the most prudent bought flowers the day before. Watch a short video about how the demand for grandmothers selling flowers on the streets has grown.

Although, in fact, not all teachers are happy with bouquets on September 1.
— I would probably like a pack of paper. This is a strange desire, but for work it is the most universal gift for a teacher, I think, – confessed biology teacher Aitkali Kaminov.
We have published a whole collection of teachers’ stories about what they would be happy to receive as a gift on Knowledge Day.

It’s probably too late to give up flowers and look for another gift for the teacher. But next year (if your child is not in senior year) we can share a couple of ideas. Top is food.

Will there be distance?
The main fear of the schoolchildren’s parents was the news about the possible transfer of their children to distance learning. The governor finally reassured the people. On the eve of the opening of the tram line to Verkhnyaya Pyshma, he said that all quarantine measures would be applied individually to classes, and not to entire schools.
– We are not going to introduce any restrictions in terms of distance. There is a clear algorithm: if a coronavirus is suddenly detected, [children] are examined, some quarantine measures are possible, but there will be no distances,” said Yevgeny Kuyvashev.

But the 109th lyceum was left without a holiday today. Lucky only first-graders.
– The management decided not to bother and arranged a line only for the first classes. As a result, the rest of the school does not have a holiday at all, only a class hour in elementary school, organized for the issuance of textbooks, and that’s it. As a result, those children who went to the second and third grades never participated in the line at all in their lives due to restrictions in previous years, and they have no holiday and no desire to go to school. And in general, high school students were simply given textbooks in advance, back in August, and today they don’t need to go to school at all,” an E1.RU reader wrote. – Maybe the leaders of the educational system will read this and take measures so that at least in subsequent years the children of this lyceum have a holiday. And yes, even if parents are not allowed in, at least they will organize something for the children.

The fact is that parents bring their children in cars to school No. 167. Some try to drive through the yard, others leave the cars right in the yard. As a result, the residents themselves cannot safely leave the house, let alone move out. This situation happened today, and because of the tightness and congestion, there was a fight.
But the residents have already figured out how to teach car parents to walk more.

On September 1, traffic inspectors also took part in the lines. The police congratulated the schoolchildren on the beginning of the new school year and reminded them of the observance of the Rules of the Road.
— From now on, schoolchildren will have to move almost daily from home to school and back, attend clubs and sections, therefore, in their speeches, traffic inspectors drew attention to the safety of children on the roads. In the first days of September, such reminders are especially relevant, because after the summer children return to the learning rhythm and during the adaptation period they can be absent-minded and inattentive, the traffic police in the Sverdlovsk region emphasized.

The police advised parents of first-graders to walk several times with their child along the route from home to school and back, to explain with real examples how to cross the road correctly, what certain road signs mean, what dangerous situations can arise on the way to school and how to avoid them. 1 September 19:480002 This concludes our festive online dedicated to the Day of Knowledge.

My first day at school
In the second year of our stay in Pankovka, I started going to school. Every year on the first of September, the school yard is usually filled with a motley crowd of children of all ages: high schoolers, middle schoolers, and freshmen. All children come without parents. What a shame for someone brought in by their parents! Everyone looks at him as if he were a curiosity, and the student becomes uncomfortable. You need to show that you are already an adult, so parents are superfluous here.
This year, September was very hot, and I came to school in my panties, just like I was playing in the yard with the children. In addition, the first day of school did not seem to me something special. But the large crowd in the school yard struck me. Moreover: apart from me, no one was in panties. Everyone was dressed pretty well. Even festive. Although I didn’t care much, I was still confused.
Schoolchildren stood in small groups and talked to each other. I didn’t know anyone and couldn’t connect with anyone. Tasya, Genya and Tolya left earlier, and I didn’t see them anywhere. I stood aside, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, one of the crowd of high school girls who were standing near me points her finger at me and says:
– And they teach us in class that there are no wild people! I don’t believe it. Look! Here’s a wild man! Look how he has grown! What long body hair he has. Everyone turned in my direction and laughed out loud. I felt completely destroyed. For the first time I looked at my body: it was thin and bony. Her arms and legs were covered with long golden hair. My face flushed. How did I not notice this before? Am I a wild man? But this cannot be! These thoughts swirled in my head and I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, I started running home. Barely crossed the threshold, I burst into tears. Grandmother ran up and began to console me. And my mother, having learned what was the matter, said:
– That’s what you need. Who goes half naked to school? The girl is right to call you a savage. Tomorrow you will put on a dress and go again.
– Never! I replied, determined not to go to school anymore. But the next day, when I put on a light, light dress, everything looked different, and I again went to school.
My school years in Pankovka were nothing special. Immediately in the first class, I became insanely bored. I already knew how to read and write, and could solve simple problems. I learned all this at home with my father, mother or grandmother Marfa, and Ilya Petrovich showed me a lot. Three weeks later, they decided to transfer me to the second grade, despite the fact that it was still too early for me to go even to the first.
We were immediately called “Octobers”, that is, we were the youngest communists. After school, we often stayed at school and took part in various amateur clubs. I remember how for some reason I was appointed to lead the choir of junior high school students. I didn’t particularly like singing and soon gave it up. Most of all I liked driving across the steppe or spending whole days near the Dnieper, especially in the summer, during the holidays. I swam well and sometimes swam very far, where even adults did not dare to swim. The Dnieper was wide here, but I swam all alone to the other side. Now that I think about it, I just can’t believe I could do such a thing. Sometimes I even wonder how I didn’t drown in the Dnieper? Probably because I was too thin, too light, the water kept me on the surface.
I remember how one day I gathered a bunch of children, put them all in a boat and we sailed along the middle of the Dnieper. Someone noticed us and reported to the parents of the children. They ran ashore and raised a whole panic. They called my father. Running ashore, my father took off his belt and, threatening me, rushed along the shore after the boat and shouted that I should immediately moor to the shore. And I shouted back that I would land if he left. When he left, we landed on the beach. Parents grabbed their children, and I ran into the grove so that my father would not find me.
There were many such cases. For my desperation, they called me the “red team”, because there was always a whole bunch of guys around me. We climbed trees, destroyed bird nests, swung on the tops – all this seemed to us courageous and funny. I did well at school. It was easy for me to learn and even boring. But everything went its own way. Parents lived their own lives: they went to visit or received guests at home. It was fun and peaceful.
But then I began to notice that many children do not come to school. Groups of schoolchildren have been organized in almost all classes, who are supposed to go to the homes of those who are absent, talk to parents and “pull” children to school. I was also assigned to one of these groups. And then one day, after class, we went to the village to “attract” those absent from our class. We went from house to house where our classmates lived. Sometimes we were not allowed into the house, they said that the child was sick and would soon come to school. Others got angry and sent away without any explanation. Only a few spoke the real truth: there is nothing to eat. They showed us schoolchildren lying on the stove with swollen bellies and swollen. And only now it became clear to me that not everything was safe everywhere, as it was then at home. The father had a good position and belonged to the privileged class. Therefore, we had white bread, and butter, and other products. Most of the population in the early 30s was dying of hunger. People ate grass, collected all kinds of seeds from weeds, “porridge” from acacia flowers and made bread.
The schools were almost empty at that time. To attract children to study, hot lunches were organized at the school. All visitors were given a hot lunch once a day. It usually consisted of a thick millet soup and lentils. Everyone had to bring their own plate and spoon. And suddenly the school was filled with children again. Schoolchildren began to bring their brothers and sisters to get something to eat.
In addition, brigades were also organized to collect ears in the field. After the harvest in the field, many ears of corn lay on the ground. Usually people would go there and collect them for themselves. But the state needed bread. Thus, the ears were collected and given to the state. Some children hid the ears and brought them home, despite the “moral” that the teachers read to us, that, they say, you can’t deceive the state. But since there were not enough collective farmers to collect the ears, the school administration had to put up with some “concealment” of them. At least, even more children came to the harvest than in normal times.
Although there was enough food in our family and none of us children suspected anything about the famine, some incidents, as if by the way, made me think about the strangeness of some situation. I remember how one day, when I came home from school, I took a large piece of white bread with butter and bacon and wanted to go outside. My grandmother stopped me at the door:
– Eat some bread and then go outside. You can’t eat bread in the street,” she said sternly.
I sat down at the table and ate my bread, obeying the strange look of my grandmother’s eyes. Yes, on the street where I played with the children, no one ate white bread. White bread was a luxury at that time. Some children told me how they and their parents go to the steppe to collect kurai, a prickly steppe plant. When it dries, black small grains fall out of it, from which people at that time made pancakes, chicken pancakes. I’ve never tried them, but I don’t think they tasted good. But people ate them. They also ate this “porridge” from acacia, from which the stomach swelled.
Another strange incident also stuck in my memory for the rest of my life. Once, mother and all of us children, together with Kuznetsova and her two boys, Tenya and Tolya, went to the forest to pick berries. Grandma stayed at home. There were many bushes in the forest, and we scattered through them with baskets. Everyone was in a wonderful mood and called to each other. It was cool and pleasant in the forest in the fresh air. Before that, we had a small picnic during which we laughed and joked a lot. Now everyone tried to collect more berries in the basket and brag to others. Suddenly, from somewhere, an alarmed cry of our mother was heard. I ran out from behind the bushes to the clearing, where she stood and, pale, with trembling lips, said something in a whisper, pointing to a nearby bush. Our entire company, which immediately ran to her cry, huddled around her. Everyone was confused and, in fright, peered intently into the bush where she pointed. A few minutes later, a shaggy head with the overgrown face of a huge man emerged from there. He kind of looked at us wildly. In his hands he held a rusty tin can. He, too, looked as if indecisively at us, huddled together like sheep. Then he turned abruptly and quickly ran away. We only had time to notice how the bushes instantly swayed, and everything calmed down again.
After standing for two minutes, all of us, now not moving away from each other, began to leave the forest. Fortunately, the road was not far, and we all breathed easier when we found ourselves outside the forest. Now we picked up the pace and quickly set off home. We didn’t pick any berries that day.
After this incident in the forest, we stopped going for berries. The elders said that now it had become dangerous in the forest – hungry people were prowling everywhere and – anything could happen. This “anything can happen” was a mystery to me for a long time. I often noticed that adults always leave something unsaid, as if hiding something from us children, and therefore the world seemed to me somehow mysterious, inaccessible to me, precisely because I was not an “adult”. Only one more incident, which was also remembered for a lifetime, explained to me what “anything can happen” meant.
Despite the good life in Pankovka, all of us, children, suffered from malaria. She especially ruffled us in the summer and autumn. She attacked me with extraordinary fury. I remember how one autumn, when school had already begun, I often had to stay at home. Exhausted and withered from high fever and severe attacks, I lay helplessly in the kitchen on the sofa, where, as a rule, it was fun during the day, because there was always someone there. Once I was there with my mother. She was kneading dough for bread. Suddenly, a group of children appeared at the door – I immediately recognized my classmates. It turned out that they came to “pull” me to school, since I had not been for almost a week. At the sight of them, a bright color hit my face. I was ashamed. Once I was in the same brigade for attracting to school, and now they have come to attract me.
The foreman asked why I didn’t come to school. I lay down and silently looked at them. Mom got angry:
“Don’t you see,” she said angrily, “she is sick. If she recovers, she will come. I don’t need any attraction!
Children silently stood at the threshold and looked at the white dough – a sign of luxury at that time. Mom noticed their glances and fell silent. The children started to leave.
– Don’t come back. She will come herself,” my mother threw after me with such indignation that I had often heard before from other parents.
But, in fact, it was not this incident that made me understand much about the famine. This happened shortly after the brigade arrived at our house. I still didn’t go to school. It seemed that malaria decided to finish me off. The attacks were repeated both during the day and in the evening. I completely lost strength and stopped eating. One night, after a terribly high temperature, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I noticed that I was lying on a mattress in my parents’ bedroom. His father dressed quickly, his mother stood beside him, giving him clothes. He spoke:
– If we do nothing, the child will die. We must get to the city immediately. I still have time. Two hours before the ship’s departure.
Father got dressed, wrapped me in a blanket and, taking my light body in his arms, left the house. It was still a dark night.
I remember how long he carried me through the forest, over the sand. His proximity made me feel warm. He was sweating from the fast pace, which made me even warmer. We were the only ones on the road. Tall trees stood on both sides and it seemed that the whole forest was quietly alert and mysteriously guarding us from evil spirits. Now I was not afraid at all in the forest, among these silent trees. Occasionally some nocturnal bird would suddenly cry out, breaking the mysterious silence.
It was beginning to dawn when we arrived at the steamer. He was already standing at the pier, and we immediately boarded the steamer. My father entered the small cabin and put me on the bed. I immediately fell asleep.
By ten o’clock in the morning we arrived in Nikopol. My father again took me in his arms, but I fell asleep again and woke up only in the doctor’s office, where my father brought me. The doctor in a white coat carefully examined my body, put pressure on my stomach, pounded my joints with a hammer, and after a while pronounced his sentence:
– Change the climate. Yes, we need to change the climate. This is the only thing that will help.
He gave some note to his father and talked to him for a long time about something else. Then I drank the bitter powder in a glass of water and we left.
The sun was shining outside. It was a beautiful warm day. The hum of carts and people filled the air. Father said:
– And now let’s go to breakfast.
We went to a restaurant where people were sitting at small tables eating and drinking tea. Others sat at the bar and also ate and drank. White buns and various sausages were laid out under glass in the sideboard. We also sat at a small table, and my father ordered food. A few minutes later we were served tea, thinly sliced bread, and thin and thick slices of sausage on a separate plate. We began to eat and drink tea with gusto. Suddenly, after a few minutes, the father said:
“Don’t eat that sausage,” he pointed to the wide, thick pieces.
— Why?
— She is not good.
I reluctantly put the wide piece of sausage back on the plate. After we finished breakfast (it was already almost noon), my father went to the buffet to pay and took a plate with sliced wide sausage. He served it to the bartender:
– Remove this sausage altogether.
I noticed that he especially emphasized the word “in general” and, oddly enough, the barman just looked at him and, without answering anything, took away the sausage.
When I was talking at home about our breakfast and about the wide slices of sausage that dad returned to the barman, one of the adults remarked:
— And they say that people eat human meat in the city. People are dying of hunger more in the villages. In the city, you can still get through. In the villages, everything is taken from the peasants. In addition, crop failure.
“Yes,” said the grandmother, “did you hear what happened to the Shishkovs?” These are our former neighbors in Bazhanovka. Husband and wife and six children. Mother and father went to the city to get food. The children were left alone at home. The two older ones, a boy and a girl, looked after them. The parents did not return from the city.
Probably died somewhere along the way. And the children ate the youngest, six years old.
Now adults talk about it openly, not hiding from us children. This also amazed me. And I realized that “anything can happen” in hunger.
After the doctor’s visit, my father began to consult with my mother and grandmother about me. They talked about changing the climate, as the doctor advised, but it seemed impossible, since the father could not leave work. But soon the impossible became quite possible. Hunger reached everyone and made its way everywhere. The father was soon informed that the factory was closing due to a lack of workers (starvation). Of course, all employees were laid off, and my father was left without a job. I was still swallowing the bitter pills of quinine and temporarily even became deaf. But then there was hope that we would leave, change the climate, and malaria would disappear.
After my father was fired, we had to vacate the state house. And, although we were not going anywhere yet, we had to look for another apartment. We really did not want to part with our cozy mansion, with a green grove around it, with the silence and beauty of the surroundings. We were moved to a three-room apartment, a simpler dwelling. Still, it was considered a privilege. Our house was occupied by some more important civil servants. Although my father had already been fired, he still went to the office to “hand over cases.” Only after two or three weeks did he leave for the city to look for a new job. We were alone, and the house became sad. Friends of my parents stopped visiting us, except for my mother’s friend. Grandmother Maria was especially depressed – she was all worried about the future. She had strange dreams that she told us, and in which she believed. But we often consoled her:
– Do not believe, grandmother, dreams. After all, these are just dreams.
At school I was taught not to believe in dreams and all sorts of superstitions, and I looked with some disdain at my grandmother’s “backwardness”. Only now, when I write these lines, I regret my stupidity and how I could so blindly believe what we were taught then at school. And Grandma Maria didn’t go to school much, but her life experience was in many ways the best school.
At that time, brigades were organized in our school to expose the “opium for the people.” In small groups, we had to go from house to house in the village and tell people to take off and burn their icons, because it is darkness and illiteracy. Some people listened to us with curiosity and just shook their heads, even promised to take pictures of the icons. Others made harsh, disapproving remarks:
— Look what they are taught at school! It’s too early for you to tell adults what to do. Go away so that we don’t even see your spirit!
In these brigades there were mainly high school students, but also a few “Octobers”, that is, from the second and third grades. My duty was to convince my grandmother to remove the icons. But of course she didn’t want to hear about it. And she succeeded to a certain extent. She told us children terrible stories about those who did not believe in God, about how unbelievers would burn in the fire and what awaits all sinners. She said that God is eternal, that he “sees everything, knows everything and hears everything. ”
We had a big and beautiful church in the village. It’s been closed for a long time. The service was no longer there. Every Sunday there was a market near the church. My mother and grandmother also often went there to buy groceries. Especially now, during the famine, food was scarce and everything was expensive. Grandmother every time, passing by the church, stopped and was baptized.
— Believe, children, in God. He sees everything, hears everything and knows everything,” she always finished, no matter what she said, with her favorite expression.
“But there are people who don’t believe in God and swear,” brother Ivan once began, “and nothing to them!
“It’s only for the time being,” Grandmother answered. God will always punish the sinner. Here, somewhere in the same village, there lived a man. He never crossed himself, but, on the contrary, he always mocked God when he passed the temple. Sometimes he even stopped near the church and cursed loudly for others to hear. And then one day he was walking past the temple and suddenly a brick fell on his head. He was immediately killed. That’s how God can punish.
We, children, sat around our grandmother and listened to her stories, and by some miracle grains of incomprehensible fear of God sank deep into our souls. Standing after that in a group to “expose opium for the people” in someone’s apartment, it was difficult to feel real contempt for those who did not want to take off the icons. Over time, we were dubbed “godless” in the village, and people, having learned about our arrival, locked us at home or drove us away, or simply scolded us loudly, without embarrassment. Many then simply lied, saying that they had already taken off the icons, but in fact they hid them where they were not visible to the aliens. Our mission was not very successful.
Father still couldn’t find a new job, and the times were hard. Soon he told us to move to Bobrynets, a small town not far from Dnepropetrovsk. Still, it is easier to endure hunger in the city than in the countryside. In some villages, the population began to die of hunger. People went to the cities, leaving their houses and everything they had acquired. In the city one could manage to get a piece of bread. And so we loaded our luggage, furniture and all household utensils onto the carts and went to the steamer. Again we move, again we change our place of residence, again something unknown awaits us.
Bobrynets was an ugly town, at least where we lived. We rented for a while two small rooms, which were loaded with furniture. Everything around was bare: there were no trees, no water nearby. Carts and cars rumbled along the cobblestone pavement. Everywhere only stone houses, no green groves, and red tiled or iron roofs. Everything here seemed strange to us, unusual. We are accustomed to space, to trees, to water. Grandmother Maria was especially unhappy. There was absolutely nothing for her to do here. She missed the movement in the yard, the chores around the house. She missed the river where she used to go every day and collect the swollen vine for the furnace. There was no garden or garden. From day to day she sat in a small apartment, as if in a prison. Caring for her younger sister Klava was her only consolation. Now she prayed to God more often than before and asked him to accept her soul. Nina and I had to continue at school. The school was far from us and we walked. We didn’t have food or money, so my mother started selling furniture and other more valuable things. Usually, after school, Nina and I went to the market, where my mother stood and sold our things. There were a lot of products in the market, which we were very surprised, since many people in the city were starving. There were also a lot of things: furniture, clothes and other junk, but also a lot of people. Bobrynets was considered a Jewish town, there were a lot of Jews everywhere, especially in the market. They talked animatedly, bargained, and filled the whole square with some lively variegation, even merriment. It seemed to me that Jewish women were somehow different from Russian and Ukrainian women. They were better dressed, their speech was louder, accompanied by temperamental gestures. As soon as they noticed something interesting in the sale, they immediately surrounded the seller and vied with each other to fill the price. Everyone really liked our beautiful furniture, which we bought in Pankovka, and my mother did not have to wait long for buyers. Everything was immediately bought by Jews. As soon as my mother received money in her hands, she immediately went to the grocery part of the bazaar, where she bought food. And at home, a hungry gang was waiting for her – four children and a grandmother. My father was still on the move looking for work.
One day a fat, beautiful Jewish woman approached my mother at the market. She asked for Mom’s address and said she wanted to come and see everything Mom had for sale. Mom, of course, gave her the address, and the next day she arrived in a small truck. She carefully examined everything: the rocking chair that her father had given her mother in Pankovka, two wicker couches, a table, a chest of drawers, a mirror. Then she bought everything, loaded it onto a truck – the guy she came with helped her, and we never saw her again. We had two more beds and a small table at our disposal. The essential for us.
But the money we received for our furniture was soon spent on food. And again there was nothing to eat. Now my mother carried her beautiful dresses to the market. Everything went to food. So we lived in Bobrynets summer and autumn. Winter was coming, cold and hungry. Father still didn’t get a job. Already we had lost almost everything we had, and now every day we were hungry. Only in the afternoon, when my mother managed to sell some of the clothes, did she bring home bread and butter. In the mornings, Nina and I went to school hungry.
One day after school I was picking up my books from under the desk and suddenly I felt something hard. I took out the bundle – it turned out that there was a dried slice of bread inside. I immediately grabbed it with both hands and ran into the corridor where Nina was waiting for me. Together we ate hard bread and went home. Since then, after school, I always tried to be the last to leave the class to check all the desks for anything edible left. In the school yard, during a break, I also looked for bread. Sometimes I was able to find a dried piece. But I noticed that, besides me, other children were looking for the same thing.
Our situation improved a little for the time being when my Jewish classmate Dina came to us and asked me to go with her to them. At home, her mother told me to help her with her homework. For this I will receive lunch. I, of course, agreed. Dina was beautiful and well dressed. She had a lot of friends with whom she always played in the yard after school. I came to them every day and did her tasks. Dina did not even think to be present at this. She preferred the company of her friends. Her mother, a sweet and pleasant lady, always treated me to dinner. When she found out that I had a brother and two sisters, she wrapped something for me at home – boiled lard, bread or something else. And at school, Dina acted like she didn’t know me. At recess she played with the others and obviously avoided me. At first I was offended, but then everything became indifferent to me. I didn’t like this school. I didn’t have any friends here. In my free time, I used to stand alone in the corner and watch the other kids have fun.
But one day the teacher noticed that Dina didn’t do her homework by herself. Since then, my little food source has also ceased.
Spring was already coming to an end when my father sent us money so that we could go to him in Zaporozhye, where he found a job. We sold the last pieces of furniture – two beds and a table. We packed what was left and set off.
Our grandparents, Marfa Savelievna and Ilya Petrovich, also lived in Zaporozhye. At father’s request, they found us a small hut with two rooms, which father bought for us. The place where these huts were located was called Pervomaisky village. Why this village was so called, it was completely incomprehensible. This name would be better suited to some new residential area built in the spirit of socialism and communism. Instead, on a large earthen mountain three kilometers from the center of the new part of the city, rose a chaotic mass of mud huts and dugouts – incredible slums, more likely to resemble some kind of Chinese village than the Soviet village of our country. But the most interesting thing was that behind this purely communist name lurked suspicious, in the communist sense, I would even say “hostile”, elements of the Soviet government, whose place was rather in Siberia: there were also dispossessed kulaks, from whom the authorities took everything away, like my grandparents, those who were persecuted by the government, former factory owners, landlords, once rich people and less rich, were hiding here – in general, people of all classes. Zaporozhye, as a growing industrial city, provided an ideal opportunity for many to escape from the hardships of fate. This mass of “hostile elements” accumulated on the clay mountain consisted of people of various nationalities: here one could meet Greeks, Tatars, Jews, Ukrainians, Russians from the far North. This motley gathering of people most often caught the eye in the center of the village, at the fountain, from where everyone carried water (there was no sewerage in the dugouts). Of course, not without quarrels at the fountain. Women quarreled more often. The most cocky were the Tatars. Nobody loved them. Tall, dark and thin, like old horses, with long hair and a dirty look, they quarreled with particular fury. They dragged each other by the hair, tearing each other’s blouses, spitting, while their eyes burned like coals. All this ended only when several strong men dispersed them to the sides. These quarrels of women were a kind of entertainment in the village. There were always a lot of people crowding around the fountain – children and adults. Something always happened there, they brought news about various events from there, they talked about them at home – in general, life in the village was never boring.
But there were also more pleasant aspects of life. In our village lived one of the most beautiful girls – a slender, dark-haired Jewess Sarah. All the men secretly wanted to meet her, but Sarah paid no attention to anyone. When she passed through the village, whispers could be heard everywhere:
– Sarah, Sarah is coming!
And everyone rushed either to the yard or to the window to see her. But she was proud and impregnable. Her father, an old Jewish man, a salesman in the village grocery store, strictly guarded her from any unpleasant accidents.
Trees and flowers were rare in the village. But Ilya Petrovich managed to plant a few sunflowers and a couple of potato bushes in his tiny courtyard. He fenced his hut with a high fence of boards, so that it looked like a small boat. And, like on a ship, a large chimney of the summer kitchen smoked from under the shed on the roof. Almost the entire courtyard was under a canopy, like the deck of a steamer. Every centimeter was used here. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. Under the canopy there was a wooden table and benches, where friends of grandparents often sat and drank tea in summer. Despite the poverty and primitiveness, it was very pleasant here. Compared to this small world, where peace and quiet were felt, our mud hut was bare and ugly. Ilya Petrovich made us a table and two benches, which we put in the room. A few fur rugs and blankets made up our lodging for the night. Only grandmother Maria, as the oldest in the family, slept on a narrow bed in the kitchen. My father lived in the old part of the city, far from us and came only at the end of the week for a couple of days. In addition, he was often away for work. It also turned out that his job was not permanent, but only temporary, and the money he earned was not enough for all of us to eat. There was still hunger, food was expensive, and here we too often went to bed hungry. But again, grandmother Maria suffered the most. She often gave her portion of food to us children. Sometimes we went to Grandma Martha and brought back the remnants of their dinner and, in general, everything that they could tear off from themselves.
Across the river from us, on the right bank of the Dnieper, lived Uncle Kostya, our distant relative. He was married to the sister of his mother’s brother’s wife, Uncle Mitya, who lived in Kyiv. Uncle Kostya was the director of a hospital in Zaporizhia and, of course, belonged to a privileged class. He had his own dacha outside the city and a large garden. He also had a car with a driver. He lived at the dacha with his parents, dear old men, with his wife Evgenia and the son of my age, Kolya. His wife was quiet. Sometimes Grandma Marfa took me with her to visit them. Then I played with his son.
– Why is Aunt Evgenia like this? I asked my mother after my first visit to them.
“Poor thing, she couldn’t bear the revolutionary years,” my mother answered. She used to be very rich. When everything was taken away from her, she became a little crazy.
It seemed incomprehensible to me then that one could lose one’s mind because of wealth. But Aunt Evgenia was “quiet” as they called her, and therefore she was at home, and not in an official hospital.
Grandmother Maria became even sadder in Zaporozhye. She kept complaining that “no one needed her” and prayed forever to God to take her in. She, of course, lacked a household here too: animals that she could take care of, a garden, a river where she liked to go to collect firewood. True, she sometimes went to the Dnieper, but always returned without firewood. She couldn’t go for a walk without doing anything. Her only consolation was her younger sister Klava, whom she always nursed. We all went to school and no longer stood with her in front of the icons and prayed to God all together, as before. And she now felt superfluous. One day, after her prayer, I noticed tears rolling down my grandmother’s cheeks.
– Grandma, why are you crying? I asked.
“I want God to accept me,” she answered. But he doesn’t want to and doesn’t want to. I probably made a mistake. – She believed that only sinful people live long, and God takes the righteous early. When I write these lines now, I involuntarily recall the Stalinist times, when people did not live, but suffered. And it seems to me that my grandmother’s philosophy at that time was correct.
“If I could only see Fedya just once more,” she often said, “then I could die.
And she asked her mother to write to Uncle Fedya to come. And when one day a letter came from him, and he wrote that he would not be able to come, I saw how my grandmother’s face stretched out and became sad. And her large gray eyes filled with tears, which silently rolled down her cheeks. On one cheek, near her nose, there was a tiny hole the size of a needle. One day I asked her why she had a hole. She replied:
– This is from God.
In her opinion, everything was from God.
— Believe, children, in God. He will ask you for an answer for everything,” she often said.
“Why doesn’t God punish others,” Ivan asked again.
– Everything is just up to the time. The time will come, and God will punish him,” she answered.
And again she told us the story of an unbeliever who was hit by a brick as he passed the church. At the same time, her serious eyes looked thoughtfully at us, and we also thought about her strange stories. These stories have always made a strong impression on us, despite the fact that we were told other things about God in school. Grandmother instilled in us a sense of respect and fear of the all-powerful and invisible God. But she also taught us to be honest and fair in life.
So, Zaporizhia did not improve our situation very much. Maybe the best thing was that we lived not far from the grandmother of Martha and Ilya Petrovich. Besides, my malaria has almost completely stopped here. But in the very first year, the younger sister Klava and grandmother Maria fell ill with malaria. Klava was ill for several months and recovered. But Grandmother grew weaker and weaker, and soon stopped getting out of bed altogether. She silently prayed to God, and over time she completely calmed down. Mom poured milk into her mouth with a teaspoon. And one evening she called us to her and said:
– Go to your grandmother in the kitchen and ask her for forgiveness for your disobedience. She will probably die tonight.
We all fell silent. “Die!” – how often we have heard this word, which has always been associated with crying and sadness. But death itself for us was something mysterious, distant and mysterious. None of our loved ones died, and none of us children saw a dead person up close. Although Grandmother often talked about death, it sounded so distant, as if it didn’t concern any of us. And now we were afraid, because this death came to our house. We silently stood around my mother, and no one dared to go to my grandmother first.
“Nina,” says mom, “go first, grandma loved you the most.
Tilting her head, Nina entered her grandmother’s kitchen. The door was ajar, and we heard Nina say:
– Forgive me, my dear, dear grandmother, for everything that I have done to you. May God accept you in peace.
Ivan came in after Nina. He whispered something we couldn’t hear. Then I went to my grandmother’s bed. From incredible fear and embarrassment, I did not know what to say. It seems to me that I whispered that my grandmother would forgive me, but I was absolutely sure that my grandmother would not forgive me – I was very impudent and naughty. Grandma didn’t look at me anymore. Her gaze was already turned to the distance, probably to heaven.
Grandmother died on the first day of Easter.
“A happy woman,” the neighbors said.
There was a popular belief that the one who dies on Easter goes straight to heaven. If anyone deserves heaven, it is my grandmother Maria. Of course she wanted to die too. But I believe that she died because there was a famine and she became weak. In addition, torn from her native rural environment, she felt superfluous in this cramped city life, no longer needed, useless. But she could live for a long time. Apart from malaria, she had never been ill with anything. She was always in motion, her body was flexible and slender, like a girl’s, her face was beautiful, although wrinkled.
She was buried on the third day of Easter. The last journey was also sad: only a few people, mostly neighbors, accompanied her on the way to the cemetery. But the cemetery was far away on the edge of the city, and only her father followed her coffin to the end. Many years later, already an adult girl, I visited Zaporozhye again and wanted to visit her grave. But there was no one there to tell where she was. Father, the only one who knew, was far away, in the cold forests of Siberia.

FIRST DAY OF BEGINNERS IN THE SCHOOL OF LIFE
The sympathetic remedy of the venerable Amalia Karlovna this time, however, did not have its healing effect. When Gogol rubbed his eyes the next morning, he sneezed repeatedly: his runny nose was still in full bloom;

Composition September 1 My first day at school Grade 1
It’s September 1st. Morning. Thick fog covers the sleeping forest and the mysterious field with an impenetrable veil. When the sun rises, everything around is seething and sparkling with bright colors. The rays of the sun lit orange aspens and yellow maples, solemn in their festive splendor. How do you not want to get up early in the morning. But today is an important day for me – I’m going to school for the first time!
The alarm is ringing. I got up at 7 am, brushed my teeth, my mother cooked a delicious breakfast in the kitchen. Then I put on the very first school suit in my life. It was so exciting, but at the same time very interesting. I took a large bouquet in my hands and smiled. Looking in the mirror, I realized how big I have become and how I don’t want to say goodbye to childhood. But, unfortunately, time runs inexorably. And here I am on the threshold of the school.
The first thing that caught my eye was the sounds. I close my eyes and imagine. I step on the threshold of the school, and a whole stream of sounds falls on me. School bells, the voices of children and teachers, the loud clatter of heels.
The voices of teachers and students are heard from outside the classrooms. And all this merges into one monotonous noise. But as soon as the teacher leaves the office, a hum begins to appear at first, then everything turns into a loud noise.
Children run in the corridors, during the breaks various cries and laughter are heard everywhere. As soon as you begin to approach the school, everything becomes clear and understandable. Imagining mute silence, it starts to become a little creepy. The school fills us with all kinds of sounds, and it’s really wonderful.
I open my eyes and understand that all this awaits me in the future, and now – a solemn line, congratulations will sound from all sides and the first school bell in my life will ring. Yes, I have been waiting for this day, because I really want this day to remain in my memory for the rest of my life. Tomorrow school will start, and now I want to enjoy the wonderful moments of this day and this life!
Option 2
Many people have memories, both good and bad. My first memory connected with school is, in fact, the first trip to school.
It was the first of September. My mother and I handed over the documents, and already on the first of September, in a suit and with flowers, I solemnly walked into this temple of knowledge to gnaw at the granite of science. I remember a lot from that day. Then it was still warm, but not enough to go without a jacket, so I went in it. On the way, I asked my mother to come home, but she did not listen to me, which is probably good, because if I had not come that day, I would not have met all those people who are now my best friends. Arriving at the school, we lined up in fifteen people and listened to the director’s speech.
There were many different children there, some older, some younger, but they all had one thing in common – they all came here for knowledge. No matter who it was, the seventh graders who have been here for years, or the first graders like me who came here for the first time, we all had the same goal.
After the line, we went to look at the classes in which we were to unlearn for the next eleven years. First we looked at the class of mathematics and technical sciences, then we went to the literary class, and then to all the others. Most of all I liked the class of natural science and biology. I remember very strongly all those skeletons and exhibits presented in the audience as in a museum. Perhaps my future profession will be related to this science. In any case, I liked our school, because of which I received a huge incentive to study well and as diligently as possible.
After examining the classes, we were sent to the lessons, after which I met all the guys from my class, who later became my close friends. In any case, the first of September and the first trip to school is one of the best and most pleasant memories of my entire life. That day I met a lot of good people with whom I still communicate well. The first of September is a wonderful moment in the life of any schoolchild, which happens only once in a lifetime, and which must be remembered and appreciated. This was my first of September, very pleasant and memorable.
Composition for grade 1
Essay on the topic: First time – first grade!.
September 1, I went to the 1st grade. Grandma walked me to school. I was wearing a school uniform and a large briefcase. My grandmother braided large white bows into my pigtails. There were many children near the school, everyone gave flowers to our teacher Tatyana Vladimirovna, I also gave her a large bouquet. Then we went to class. There we sat down at our desks and the roll call began. I sat with the girl Natasha and we became friends with her. There were a lot of guys in the class. Our teacher was kind and a little strict. She was always good at explaining lessons and rules of conduct. I will never forget the first time I went to first grade.
Essay on the topic: Where does the Motherland begin?.
Homeland for me begins with my home. My home is my family, my closest people who love me. It is here, next to my family, that I feel warm, comfortable and calm. My homeland begins with a small river in the country, with a currant bush, the leaves of which smell so delicious. Motherland is a field with a huge sky above it, where we flew a kite and admired the rainbow. And the forest, where the smell of strawberries and pine needles is so strong. Spilled like milk, a fog in which you can hide. Probably, this is where the Motherland begins for me.
Essay on a topic; Winter day.
It’s winter outside. It’s a wonderful sunny day. The sky is clear. The snow that had been falling all night covered the ground, houses, cars with a white fluffy blanket. Trees stand in heavy white caps, and occasionally snow dust breaks down from the tops.
Hieroglyphs of bird tracks are clearly written on the snow, as if on a white sheet. Sparrows near the house are fighting over a crust of bread – it is not easy for them to find food under a white blanket.
Essay on a topic; Gold autumn.
Autumn has come. From mid-September to about mid-October, the leaves on the trees will turn from green to gold and red. This period is called golden autumn. The grass in the steppe withers and turns yellow, and the trees are painted in a variety of shades from yellow and red. You look at the forest, which is all shimmering with gold and you think: yes, a truly golden autumn! This is a very beautiful time and many poets dedicate their poems to it, and artists especially love to paint pictures on the theme of autumn.
I especially like the two weeks in September that are called Indian Summer. At this time, the day is still warm in summer, and the leaf fall is already slowly covering the ground with gold. Fallen leaves are spinning in the wind, rustling underfoot, and this makes you a little sad. It’s sad that the summer is over and the holidays are over.
The more leaves there are on the ground, the fewer leaves there are on the trees, until one day there are none left. The trees are gradually falling asleep, preparing to meet the winter, but there will still be a whole November before it. This is also autumn, but not at all golden – damp, cold and dark. And so on until December comes and the earth is covered with a snow blanket.
Essay on a topic; Autumn has come.
Autumn is a season that I don’t like at all. With the advent of autumn, I always feel sad because the summer is over, the foliage is flying around, the grass is turning yellow, and the flowers are withering and crumbling. Everyone says that autumn is the brightest time of the year. Because all the trees are dressed up in colorful outfits: maples – in red, birches – in yellow, and oaks – in shades of brown. I also like that the forest becomes smart and I like to walk in the autumn forest. But I know it won’t last long.
A couple of weeks, the leaves will fall off and the trees will remain bare and black. Long rains will begin, you can’t go outside, because it will become damp and dirty there. The day is getting shorter and shorter, and even then – the sun is constantly covered with heavy and gloomy clouds. The cold wind penetrates to the bone, so you won’t walk for a long time even on days when there is no rain. You need to wear a lot of warm clothes, not like in the summer when you can run in shorts and a T-shirt.
When autumn comes, I always dream of snow falling and winter coming. Because after winter, spring always comes, and then summer, a time that I really love!

Pedagogical essay “First time in a school class”
Essay “First time in a school class”
A new school year begins. Bright, cozy math room. The walls were lined with portraits depicting great mathematicians, stands with well-known formulas and algorithms. You involuntarily catch yourself thinking about how classes will be held this academic year, and you want to reflect on the thoughts of children’s minds: “Is everything useful to me in life, what does the teacher tell me about? Why am I studying mathematics? Why do I need these formulas and endless solutions, solutions, searches, analyzes?
We rarely think about the fact that the subjects taught at school should bring joy to the life of a student. The student does not always understand that each subject is based on the experience of people of past years. The lesson is based on the results of the discoveries of those minds who, through observation and research, passed on knowledge to a new generation, younger and healthier. After all, the past helps in creating the present and the future.
Mathematics is the science of our ancestors, subject to precision and analysis. Knowing mathematics means being able to think and reason logically. Our country needs bright minds, serious and responsible people. As a result, I often think, when imagining my students, “How can I develop in them a sense of respect for my subject? What will help my young brother overcome his reluctance to come to my class? How to diversify his imagination and desire to work, absorbing a mathematical course?
Reflecting on these questions, I am convinced that I should create a zone from the mathematics lesson where not only I should be comfortable, but, above all, my students.
Based on the experience of previous years, I understand that the guys need to be more often provided with an independent search and find one way or another to solve the problem. We teachers must teach them to learn, to set a goal, to teach them to reflect and sum up their activities. I think that this will lead them to an answer, why do they need a math lesson and a school in general. The process of studying my subject should not only be active, it should be meaningful. Why not look at some formulas through the eyes of its creator, a scientist? How did he feel while working on a mathematical discovery? How did he live, what did he suffer, what trials did he endure, achieving this or that result?
To attract the student to reflection is the task of the teacher-educator. Happiness is to be understood and appreciated in time, to empathize with the child the bitterness of defeat and the joy of a small victory, to share with him the insult and triumph of the winner. To believe in a student, even the weakest and most negligent, is the task of every teacher-mathematician.
My office is a territory of light and friendship. I’ll come closer to them in the lesson, even sit down between them, let them know: I’m always here, I appreciate them, respect them, they are dear to me and pleasant.
I don’t want to turn their work into a test, I don’t want to force them to cramming mindlessly – mechanically. Let them search during the lesson, argue with me, discuss, and finally arrange a battle.
They are not afraid of tests, as long as they get used to looking for and applying a variety of solutions. Let them draw and draw, fantasize and compose fairy tales about numbers, formulas and logarithms. To turn exact and dry mathematics into a real world of art, where they are the main characters, and I am almost a minor character. To create a lesson… Yes, to create, to change a lesson: to make it more humane, brighter, more interesting and… happier. To try to change the course for a happy and successful future for our guys.
Studying the GEF, I understand that project activities are great, useful and relevant. The project can make my work easier, since some of the material will be obtained by the students on their own and will give them a path to self-improvement.
Interest is born at the lesson where the teacher will infect with emotions, will be able to present material provided with variety and problem-search task.
As a result, I can say one thing – the beginning of the school year is the beginning of a new path. This is my office, where my students come to learn and meaningfully gain knowledge. I will help them to become an individual, a necessary and useful citizen of our country. I hope my students come to our office and ask themselves different questions. Those questions that will not concern their thoughts about why they need this mathematics, but questions that they will ask themselves on the topic of the lesson. About what new they will learn in mathematics today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.
I am proud of them and I believe that they will successfully implement the acquired knowledge in the field of mathematics in the future. And then I can quietly and modestly say to myself: “My work as a teacher will not be lost, a flame will flare up from a spark!”
Report “The first days of the child in school”
CONTINUITY.
THE FIRST DAYS OF THE CHILD IN SCHOOL.
All six-year-old children come to school with a great desire to learn: they are sure that they will be able to do everything, they will succeed, and it is very important to keep this desire for knowledge to the end.
Today, a modern school requires understanding of the new content of education, a new attitude towards the student as a subject of education, and students come to us from different social strata, with different levels of preparation for school – therefore, today the problem is how in modern conditions it is possible to build a lesson in such a way that in order to create positive learning motivation in children.
Employees of preschool institutions in our country are entrusted with the most valuable thing – children, the future generation of society. It does not take much imagination to imagine the complexity of the task facing educators. Employees of preschool institutions are called upon to educate the future generation physically strong and comprehensively prepared for mastering the basics of science.
CONTINUITY
(internal communication) must exist between preschool institutions and school, which is one of the main conditions that ensure the continuity and effectiveness of educational influences.
Your preschooler comes to us – to SCHOOL OF WISDOM
. Yes, it is on the wisdom of the educator and teacher that the student, and therefore our society, depends.
Our team is working on a program to build the educational system of the school. The school is moving into an innovative mode of its life. We think, we try, maybe sometimes we make mistakes, but we always move forward.
One of the most important outcomes of mental development during preschool childhood is the child’s psychological readiness for schooling. Everyone is an individual, and this is a social value. To develop, to preserve the personal characteristics of everyone means to give the future interesting, useful and extraordinary people.
Today you have the opportunity to meet the teachers. Teachers who will recruit grade 1 will meet with preschoolers, kindergarten workers and future parents more than once.
The goals and objectives of education in kindergarten and school are the same, and common goals require the unity of educational influences.
Waiting for the start of school is both joy and great anxiety. The closer that day, the greater the emotional tension. The first grader is a small child. He still cannot do much when compared with his elders. But he can already do a lot, and it is very important to know what he can do and what are the possibilities of his psyche, his personality.
Entering school is a turning point in a child’s life. The place of the child in the system of social relations is changing. This is a transition to a new way of life and conditions of activity, new relationships with adults and peers, the place factor is changing, that is, the social conditions that determine the development and life of the child.
The new situation in society is that the child does not just move from kindergarten to school, but that his education is a compulsory, socially significant activity.
For the results of his learning, the child is responsible to the teacher, the school, his family. He must study. Now he is subject to a system of strict rules that are the same for all schoolchildren.
The child’s initial entry into the new conditions of school life is psychologically prepared. Children are happy to go to school, expecting a new life here and realizing that their situation is changing – they have become older, they are no longer preschoolers, but schoolchildren. The student’s position is subjectively important for the child in that it0027 changes his self-esteem – he is a schoolboy.
He tries to understand the rules of conduct as soon as possible. A lot now depends on the teacher.
A special type of relationship develops between a student and a teacher. The teacher is not just an adult who arouses or dislikes a child. He is an intermediary of knowledge, whose functions include the transfer of his knowledge. Much in a child’s life depends on what kind of first teacher this is. The primary school teacher has every chance to become a teacher in the highest sense of the word – a mentor with high authority for the child in the present, to remain in his grateful memory and determine his future. Precisely the personality of the first teacher can become a role model, a model for the child’s actions
.
When preparing children for school, all of us, first of all, need to prepare parents
. It is necessary to set them up, which first-graders cannot have solid fives. He will have to explain something at home, and several times, help him do his homework and not be angry for failures, but on the contrary, support the child, instill confidence in himself, in his abilities.
It is a great help if a child already knows how to read, count up to 10. Then it will be easier and more pleasant for him to learn, because from the very beginning he will succeed. You have to talk a lot with a child so that he comes to school with a well-developed speech, let him better earn the reputation of being “spoiled, but smart” than …
attention, memory, thinking, imagination. After analyzing the preparation of children for school, today we can give REGIONALS OF THE TISTOMS

9 plays an important role in the process of primary education0027 child development level
. Oddly enough, but gifted children at school have a lot of sometimes the most unexpected problems. And what about that kid who is simply afraid to break away from his mother and go to class with everyone? Together we all need to think more often about what is good in our child’s character . We must praise him for being kind, understanding, reasonable, good at counting, inventing, able to make people laugh, listen, and have organizational skills.
A child of primary school age MUST have a desire to learn, he must believe in himself. And if it is absent, then this is just NOT normal.
It is at school that many things will happen that may go unnoticed by the teacher, but will determine the psychological state of the child. Former leaders from preschool childhood can take a low status position in the class, former unacceptable quiet and incompetent can become loved and respected. In the early days, all children are overwhelmed with the joy of starting a new life. They believe they want to learn. They want recognition as students. They crave the evaluation of their knowledge. But… stop. Here we slow down the run of the child’s expectations. The task of the first grade teacher is to to teach every child to learn – to teach yourself.
And this must be done without a mark , because a mark for a child is a sign that will determine his place among his peers: it will raise his prestige or drop him into the number of the worst. A six-year-old student does not yet have the mental strength that would help him withstand all the mental stress associated with learning, assessing his success and unambiguously clear mark.
The main thing is preparing children for school, not teaching them how to read, write, and count.
FUNCTIONAL CRITERIA FOR THE READINESS OF A SIX-YEAR-OLD CHILD FOR LEARNING
The body of a six-year-old child develops intensively.
(cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, etc.) depend on the conditions of this development. Therefore, our child needs a sparing regimen, an individual approach, regular supervision of medical personnel. Now the child at school carries a large physical load. He must sit still in a certain posture. Such a load is contrary to physical development – during this period the child grows intensively, his spine is very sensitive. Hygienists have developed a special term school maturity
as the readiness of the child’s body for systematic learning.
A feature of all children is rather rapid fatigue in the conditions of the same activity. If the teacher does not feel well enough for their children and does not give them the opportunity to discharge themselves, then the children themselves unconsciously look for a way to switch their attention from task to entertainment.
The result of a child’s development in preschool childhood is the prerequisites that the child can adapt to school conditions and begin systematic learning. These prerequisites include, first of all, desire
to become a schoolboy, study. For preschoolers, the external attributes of school life have a great attraction: sitting at desks, calling, changing, grades, owning a portfolio, a pencil case . .. Interest in such external moments is less important than the desire to learn, but it also has a positive value.
An important aspect of psychological readiness for school is a sufficient level of volitional development
children. This level is different for different children.
A child’s mental readiness for school includes several interrelated aspects. A child entering grade 1 needs a certain amount of knowledge about the world around him – about objects and their properties, about phenomena of animate and inanimate nature, about people, their work and other aspects of social life, about “what is good and what is bad ”, i.e. on moral standards of conduct. But what is important is not so much the volume of this knowledge as their quality – the degree of correctness, clarity of ideas. Such representations are the most important acquisition that will help the child to move to the assimilation of scientific knowledge at school. It is quite enough if, as a result of preschool education, the child gets acquainted with those areas that serve as the subject of study of various sciences, begins to single them out, to distinguish living from non-living, natural from man-made, harmful from useful.
Mastering some special knowledge and skills takes a special place in psychological readiness for school. Primary school is designed for children who have not received any special training, and begins to teach them literacy and mathematics from the very beginning. At the same time, a significant part of children entering grade 1 can read, and almost all children are able to count to one degree or another. Mastering literacy and elements of mathematics can affect the success of schooling. Of positive importance is the education in children of general ideas about the sound side of speech, about the quantitative relationships of things. Will help the child to study at school and assimilation of the concept of number.
As for the skills of reading, counting, solving problems, their usefulness depends on what basis they are built on, how well they are formed. Thus, the skill of reading increases the level of readiness of the child for school only if it is built on the basis of the development of phonemic hearing and awareness of the sound composition of the word, and the reading itself is continuous or syllabic. Letter-by-letter reading, often found in preschoolers, makes the teacher’s work difficult, because. the child will have to be retrained. (sound n n, letter en, not ne)
The same is true of counting – it will be useful if it is based on an understanding of mathematical relations, the meaning of a number, and useless or even harmful if learned mechanically. (the number 3 corresponds to the number 3 – subjectively) (“once”, not “once”)
It is not knowledge and skills in themselves that are decisive in readiness to master the school curriculum, but the level of development of cognitive processes and cognitive activity
children (through discussion, retelling, answering questions …). Cognitive interests develop gradually, over a long period of time and cannot arise immediately when entering school. The greatest difficulties in elementary school are experienced not by those children who have insufficient knowledge and skills by the end of the preschool period, but by those who lack the desire and habit to think, solve problems that are not directly related to any game or life situation that interests the child.
A child entering school must be able to systematically examine objects, phenomena, highlight their various properties. Good orientation of the child in space and time is important. (previous, left, right, top, bottom …) The idea of time and a sense of time, the ability to determine how much it has passed is an important condition for the student’s organized work in the classroom, completing tasks on time.
Another aspect of mental development that determines the child’s readiness for schooling is the development of his speech – mastering the ability to coherently, consistently, understandably for others to describe an object, picture, event, convey the course of his thought, explain this or that phenomenon, rule.
Conditions have been created in pre-school institutions for the comprehensive upbringing of children – there are manuals, equipment, children’s literature, toys. Children’s groups are organized, children are sociable, neat. Many children are fluent in speech in conversations with peers and adults.
At the same time, it should be noted that
the grammatical aspects of speech are still being formed, the children’s teaching of storytelling is weak, and the vocabulary is not enriched enough. In the speech practice of both preschoolers and first-graders, there is little independence of thinking and creative activity. Most often, children simply imitate what they read or retell. They are not involved in controlling the story of a friend. They are not offered questions for inferences, comparisons.
One of the important issues in deciding the succession in the work of kindergartens and schools should be, first of all, the joint work of teachers and educators in studying the child’s personality.
Before starting to study children, our teachers get acquainted with the documentation, with the data of medical records, in order to find out the child’s ability to navigate in the surrounding reality, some features of his cognitive activity, such aspects as purposefulness, stability, consciousness, productivity, speech quality and level educational knowledge and skills. During the first weeks of the school year, teachers find out that the child knows little about his family, its composition. He cannot always give his name, surname, full names of his parents, their place of work, profession.
Many children have motor awkwardness, insufficient formation of movements, especially small muscles of the hand.
Psychological tension
disappears in 2 months. If the teacher calmly and systematically implements regime moments, the child learns the mandatory rules of the routine and his tension falls. Fulfillment of school rules, getting used to the implementation of the daily regimen leads to the removal of psychological tension and stabilizes the physical well-being of the child.
Of course, there are physically and psychologically weakened children. They get tired quickly. Start whims, tearfulness. Such children often get sick, do not have time to study. The malaise is manifested in constant irritability, in crying for the most insignificant reason. These children require special attention of the teacher and the involvement of a psychologist.
There are different schools, but no matter where the parents send their child, none of them predetermines the result of his education. He is affected FIRST OF ALL FAMILY
and only then the school he attends.
It’s great when the child is mobile and active. It’s great when he endlessly asks questions and sticks his nose into everything. It’s great when he has his own plans and intentions, his own interests. Children have the right to make mistakes and learn from their mistakes. The child has the right to be loved by us for who he is!

We as a family are very happy that we found your school. This year we trained our son. It’s very good that you don’t have to travel far, spend money on transport, get up early, buy a school uniform. There is no tension between students and teachers. The child is always supervised. Ratings have gone up significantly. Next year we want to send our daughter to the 5th grade. Many thanks to the organizers.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful school as Homeschool! You can study in it remotely, the teachers explain everything very intelligibly, and if for some reason you missed a lesson, you can always review it in the recording. I do music, so this form of education is just a real paradise for me: there is time for rest and for various hobbies. I would like to separately thank our biologist Roman Borisovich, he was just an excellent teacher, he loved his subject so much and explained everything in such detail! Thank you!

Separately, we want to thank you for the excellent system of classes provided by your school – it brings us great joy and does not deprive the child of the opportunity to travel with their parents. Teachers answer all questions on time and accurately, lectures contain interesting and necessary material, a very convenient system for working with homework. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy learning, we have always missed it!

For me, the advantages of studying at Homeschool are obvious. The child does not need to get up early and come home late from school. No need to sort things out with teachers, director and students. You don’t have to go to parent meetings. You can eat and go to the toilet at any time. No need to wear a school uniform and a heavy portfolio with textbooks. You can watch the same lesson multiple times. The teachers are very polite and correct. No need to donate money for school repairs, holidays, gifts and school events. Homework can be completed in one subject per day, and not six, as in school. You do not need to write independent and test papers every day in all subjects. My daughter has become calmer and more successful in her studies. In a year I will definitely enroll my second daughter in the Home School. Sincere thanks to you for the best school.

Thanks to the organizers of the school Internet Lesson! I am professionally engaged in music, therefore, due to the workload – participation in outdoor concerts and competitions – I do not have the opportunity to attend all the lessons of a regular school, and a “home” Internet school is always at hand. You can view missed classes and submit completed homework from anywhere in the world. Having studied at a home school for one year, I can say that I have only positive impressions, interesting lessons and good teachers!

Positive Discipline
AtPre-K Kids Learning Center, we recognize that positive discipline teaches and encourages the healthy development of a child’s self-esteem. Our caregivers praise and call attention to appropriate behavior and act as good role models to influence and reinforce a child positively. Limits are set that are developmentally appropriate and consistently enforced. The method of discipline used by Pre-K Kids staff for our children is “redirection.” For example, time out or refraining from a special activity may be used for a short period while the caregiver is encouraging the child to make a positive decision.

16 Things Kids Learn in Preschool
Share

Ever wondered what your kids are really learning at preschool when it seems like they’re just playing all day? The good news is that if it seems like they’re “just playing” then the school is doing something right!
Children learn everything through play and the early years are the most important in their overall development.
I spent several years teaching and would like to share, in a nutshell, what every child should learn in preschool and how preschool contributes to a child’s education.
Learning during the first 6 years is about building skills through play.
This does not only apply to babies and toddlers. Preschoolers learn best through play, when using their whole body and engaging the senses.
What do Kids Learn in Preschool?
You may be wondering what a preschool curriculum should include or what subjects are focused on. This is not really that important. There is no curriculum-in-a-box, but rather a set of abilities and skills a preschooler should develop.
Some preschools choose to use set themes around which to plan play activities; others let themes develop naturally (learning about caterpillars when a child finds one in the garden).
A good quality preschool will give your children a well-rounded education through a balance of free play and well-planned, adult-guided play.
What should a child know by the end of preschool?
This is a breakdown of what is taught in preschool. If you’d like to work on some of these skills at home, I’ve sprinkled lots of play ideas throughout. Don’t underestimate how much your children learn from you.
Parents are a child’s primary educators!
1. Gross Motor Skills
Physical development starts with developing gross motor skills – the large muscles of the body.
At preschool, your children will be moving nonstop. Movement is the most important skill to develop first in the early years as it is necessary for all other learning.
Children must develop skills such as strength, hand-eye coordination and agility.
They also need to develop two important senses – vestibular and proprioception – responsible for balance and body awareness.
Movement is important as it stimulates learning, improves concentration, gives the brain oxygen and works both sides of the brain. Good gross motor skills also lay the foundation for fine motor skills.
Some examples of gross motor activities:
Throwing and catching balls
Playing hopscotch
Singing action songs
Playing with bean bags
Balancing on beams
Climbing and hanging
Skipping and hopping
Running and chasing games
2. Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor coordination – the development of the small muscles – is a prerequisite to learning how to write and is necessary for performing everyday tasks.
In preschool, children spend a large portion of their day working on these skills.
Fine motor skills are developed by all kinds of art activities, such as:
Drawing
Painting
Cutting
Pasting
Box construction with waste materials
They can also be developed with other fine motor activities such as:
Pegboards
Puzzles
Threading and lacing
Playing with pegs
Playing with construction toys (Lego is great)
Moulding playdough
Developing a pencil grip and learning to form letters starts with all these kinds of fine motor activities.
3. Early Mathematical Concepts
Preschool is where the foundations for mathematics begin. No child ever learns maths in the first grade. The type of maths they learn just becomes more formal.
These concepts are learned while having pure fun – in the sandpit, while baking, playing with water, building with blocks and even while tidying up!
4. Problem Solving
Problem solving is an important life skill and one that must be developed early on. Learning this in preschool also helps children with mathematical problem solving during the formal grades.
Problem-solving skills are built during simple activities such as:
Construction play
Building puzzles
Playing board games
Resolving problems during social play
5. Language and Vocabulary
Preschool is a language-rich environment where children’s vocabulary expands dramatically.
They learn sentence construction, the use of grammar and tenses, the meaning of words, etc.
Language and vocabulary are learnt throughout the day while:
Having circle time discussions
Singing rhymes and songs
Playing games
Playing alone and with friends
Learning about a theme
Playing with toys, equipment and other materials
Listening to stories
6. Pre-Writing Skills
Writing starts with developing important pre-writing skills through play and art activities. These four skills are specific requirements for learning to write and will be the focus during preschool:
Pencil grip
Crossing the midline
Learning about letters and their formation (though play, not formal writing)
Learning to form patterns (for example drawing big waves or zig-zags which mimic the shapes found in letters)
7. Listening Skills
Listening is one of the most important and often under-developed skills. This should be a focus area during preschool.
Children learn to listen by doing these kinds of activities:
Listening to stories
Playing games such as Broken Telephone or I Spy
Following instructions
Class discussions
Music activities
Although your children are learning to listen at school, it is highly recommended to focus on these skills at home too. Children with good listening skills are much more successful and capable at school. Here are some listening games you can play at home.
8. Musical Skills
Music in preschool is about so much more than just developing musical skills. Music develops children’s:
Vocabulary
Understanding of rhyme, syllables and sounds
Auditory perception
Concentration
Fine motor skills (finger plays)
Gross motor skills (action rhymes)
Mathematical skills (counting rhymes)
decision-making skills (games such as musical chairs)
9. Visual Perceptual Skills
Visual and auditory perception are the two main building blocks of learning to read.
Children develop their visual perception during preschool with the following types of activities:
Activities that teach about shapes and colours
Patterning activities
Puzzles and tangrams
Card games
Memory games
10. Auditory Perceptual Skills
Auditory perception is the brain’s ability to make sense of what the ears hear. It is vital for being able to learn sounds for reading. These kinds of activities develop auditory perception:
Reciting rhymes and poems
Playing with instruments
Playing sound games
Playing word games
11. Pre-Reading Skills
During preschool children develop all the necessary pre-reading skills to set them up for learning to read formally.
Learning to read requires developing sound knowledge (auditory perception) and symbol knowledge (visual perception), as explained above.
These are the five main pre-reading skills:
Print awareness – understanding that written words convey meaning
Motivation to read – exposure to books that ignites a desire to read
Listening comprehension – the ability to understand what is heard
Letter knowledge – informal exposure to letters and their sounds during play
Phonological awareness – being able to hear sounds in words (beginning, middle and end sounds)
Children are exposed to these kinds of activities:
Playing rhyming games
Playing word games
Games involving hearing syllables
Playing listening games
Following instructions (single and multiple instructions)
12. Memory
At school, children also strengthen their memory, a skill they will rely on for learning throughout their education.
These are the kinds of games that are often played in preschool classes:
Memory card games (get your own cards by downloading the FREE set of printables at the end of the post).
Circle memory games
I went to the shops and I bought a… – each child has a turn to add an item, but must first recall the entire list before adding their item
Categories – pick a category (e.g. fruits) and go around the circle asking each child to add the name of one fruit. No fruits may be said twice so children must remember which ones were already mentioned
13. Early Science Concepts
As children explore and interact with their environment and nature, they also learn about early science concepts.
A great example is learning about physics by discovering the properties of water during water play:
Water makes sand heavier
Water influences the texture of sand
Water falls through space (e.g. through a sieve)
Air (wind) moves water
Water is a liquid because it pours
Water takes the shape of the container it is poured into
14. Social Skills
Where better to learn social skills than in preschool? Children are surrounded by friends and adults and they learn to interact appropriately with others.
Throughout the day children learn about:
Taking turns
Sharing
Considering the opinions of others
Showing empathy
Cooperating and negotiating
Resolving conflicts
Leading and following
Creating and following rules in games to encourage positive interaction
15. Creative Expression
Preschool is where a child’s creative spark can really be ignited. There are many opportunities throughout the school day where children develop their creative expression:
During art activities – painting, constructing, drawing
Musical activities – dancing, singing and playing with instruments
Playing with construction toys
Drama and puppet play
Telling stories
Fantasy/ dress-up play
Outdoor play (e. g. building forts)
16. Independence
Last but perhaps most importantly, the greatest takeaway for young children at preschool is their growing independence.
Children learn to take care of themselves and show a sense of responsibility and a desire to be competent.
There are endless opportunities for this:
Regular tidy-up times
Taking accountability for actions
Looking after belongings (shoes, bags, books, etc.)
Self-care (going to the bathroom, washing hands, etc.)
Making choices throughout the day (during free play or activities with choice)
And there you have it! That is certainly not a complete list as your kids are learning so much but that is more or less a summary of what skills a preschooler should have.
Here is a detailed school readiness checklist if you’d like to delve into each developmental area more.
Be wary of preschools that focus on academic skills. This is developmentally inappropriate and, as you can see from the list above, play is important during the early years.

Preschool – Catalyst Kids
Learning Environment
We incorporate the HighScope and Reggio Emilia approaches and are guided by the California Desired Results assessment process, Learning Foundations, and Curriculum Frameworks. These approaches share some key beliefs: children are inherently competent; they learn best through meaningful experiences in a rich environment with peers and knowledgeable adults as guides and collaborators.
Our environment is a unique reflection of the children, families, staff, and school community who are part of our program. Our classrooms abound in materials that invite children to actively explore and that reflect their diverse interests and learning profiles. The areas of the room represent the learning domains that connect to later school content: language and literacy, math, science, visual and performing arts, and social science. We have environments that are safe, child accessible, and appealing to all senses.
Daily Routines
Our consistent daily routine helps children feel safe and secure. Children quickly internalize the predictable order of the day. At Catalyst Kids they will have opportunities to self-select activities, as well as interact one-on-one with a teacher and participate in teacher guided experiences in groups.
The elements of the children’s day in our programs include:
Small Group Time
Children work daily as a member of a group of 6-8, with a teacher who has tracked their development, interests, and strengths. Hands-on activities are planned and led by the teacher using research-based school readiness curriculum resources that bridge to kindergarten standards.
Large Group / Circle Time
Being a part of a larger community is something that takes a bit of practice for young children. Our large group/circle times include get-to-know-you activities, movement, music, cooperative group games, and physical fitness activities. Through circle time children build their ability to listen, express emotions, and take turns.
Plan-Do-Review
We support children’s ability to make plans, carry them out, and reflect on them; a life skill that encourages critical thinking, initiative, and self-reliance within the framework of the school community. Our teachers ask children to choose something they would like to do and then engage with the children as they follow through with their ideas. They ask children questions and think with them about what is happening to help them to extend and expand their understanding and skill development. Review follows with a small group discussion of how the plans went, what they discovered, and possible next steps.
Outdoor Play
Making a connection to natural surroundings and engaging in physical activity with playful and attentive teachers happens daily in our programs. Children are explorers in this environment, as well as movers, climbers, and riders.
Curriculum
In our programs we surround children with learning opportunities. We develop and grow basic academic skills through child and teacher guided activities and interactions. Our literacy and math curricula are research based, developmentally sequenced, and based on skills that lead to success in school and beyond.
The Pathways to Literacy Curriculum for children 3-6 years of age is a comprehensive set of detailed plans for teacher-led small-group activities. The activities are focused, engaging, and enjoyable.
Although literacy occurs throughout the day as children talk, play, problem solve, and represent their ideas and experiences, Pathways to Literacy focuses on small-group instruction to ensure that every child receives planned and equal exposure to teaching and learning on the same literacy topics. Teachers continue to infuse literacy concepts throughout the day, both individually and in other group settings.
Transition to Kindergarten
Moving from preschool to TK/kindergarten is one of the biggest milestones for children and families. Because our programs establish partnerships with elementary school teachers, we plan events, visits, and information exchanges to make the transition as comfortable as possible. Our teachers work closely with families to identify each child’s readiness profile and offer simple at home activities that families can do with their child to support the learning and development. We believe family and school partnerships are essential to each child’s success. Family partnerships are developed through daily conversations, collaboration on center events, and a variety of parent meetings. We also conduct family surveys and interviews to learn more about individual families’ traditions, cultures, and languages.
Family Engagement
Families are an integral part of our programs. We welcome families to come participate at our center through our open-door policy and value input and involvement that results in partnerships and continuity in the child’s home and center life.
Enroll your child in our preschool program
Subsidized Programs
Our programs strive to be supportive of the family, including parents who are in school, foster families, homeless families, and those working or seeking employment. We welcome all children and families into our programs. In many of our centers we provide subsidized childcare programs. To learn more and see if you are eligible, click here.

Using the example of two children, Yana Atracheva spoke about how she approached the issue of pre-school education for children and what conclusions she came to. We hope that her experience will be useful to you.
П The baby’s first year quickly flies by in worries and troubles. And all parents sooner or later think about the development of the child. When is the best time to start classes? What should a child know by age? What should be able to? Where to look for answers to these questions? In this article I will tell you how I develop my two children of different ages.

With the first child, many have difficulties due to inexperience or ignorance. I also faced this problem. In the first year of the eldest son, we had enough bedtime stories and ordinary games with rattles and toys. Often there just wasn’t time. I started to seriously engage in development after my son was 1.5 years old. At first we learned to draw, and it was not so easy. I, as a born right-hander, taught him to draw with pencils and paints with my right hand. But, as it turned out, my child turned out to be left-handed, which stretched out the learning process. I also studied colors and shades for a long time, the usual mixing of colors on the palette helped me in this. Such a game seemed very exciting to my son, and he recognized many complex shades already at 2.5 years old.
An important rule that I learned while studying with my son: never say phrases like “Let’s work out” or “Sit down at the table, we will study” to a child at a younger age. With preschool children, you just need to PLAY: words and letters, board games, talk a lot, discuss. This is what I tried to do. My child hardly went to kindergarten before school, except for a few months in a private kindergarten. But this did not affect his ability to find a language with other children.
Since we had an established daily routine and needed to diversify it somehow, we came up with a little game. Before going to breakfast, lunch or dinner, it was necessary to name a few non-repeating words. For example: five forest animals, five vegetables, five fruits. We started with three and increased the number as we learned.
I did not experience any difficulties with learning letters and learning to read. We easily learned to read N.S.’s primer in a month. Zhukova. An excellent book, I still recommend it to anyone who has difficulties in teaching children.
The cult of the English language did not bypass me either. At one time, while studying at school, I focused on the exact sciences. Foreign languages were not interesting to me and, as it seemed at that time, were not needed. But, years later, the same English was needed for work, in connection with this, I had to hastily study it. So that my child does not face this problem, I decided to start teaching him as early as possible.
An important point in learning a foreign language in children: while the child does not speak his native language well, you should not teach him another language. Children begin to confuse words or combine words from different languages into one sentence. By the age of five, my son spoke quite tolerably, but due to the fact that we began to learn English words, he began to get confused, so we had to wait a little while learning a foreign language. At the age of 6, the son got into a children’s football club. A feature of the classes was that after each training the boys learned five English words, and at the end of the month they passed an exam on their knowledge. And then I noticed that the child had a desire to learn English. He began to clearly understand the difference between languages. In addition to the club, we began to study at home. All this, of course, helped in school. Now my son is in the second grade, he is studying English for the second year. So far, he has not experienced any difficulties either at school or with homework.
I started working with my daughter much earlier, as they say, “from the cradle”. As soon as she began to focus her eyes on objects, I began to show her pictures of animals, objects, flowers and other things, voicing the names. By the age of one, she already recognized many pictures and showed them with her finger. Just like her eldest son, she read fairy tales. With drawing, we decided to wait and postpone until a later period, until it is clear which hand is leading. She eats with her left and then with her right. My daughter is now 1 year and 4 months old, she speaks about 40 words, which is above the norm for her age. He is already starting to say phrases such as “Open the door”, “Let’s go for a walk. ” Of course, the words are fuzzy, but close to the original. Naturally, girls are ahead of boys in development, but without our classes, I think this figure would be much less.
So, what conclusions did I draw from my training with children:
1. Everything should be in the form of a game.
2. There is no definite age when it is better to start developing a child. You can teach your child both a couple of years before school, and starting classes from birth.
3. Don’t chase fashion. Each child is special, it is easy to teach someone to read even at the age of 3, and for someone closer to school age it is difficult.
Do not rely on school, they will not correct the behavior of the child, his speech or understanding of the world around him. Lay the foundations of his upbringing and education even before entering school. And remember that no one will give your child more than yourself.

First grade at age 8: education law, enrollment problems, boy
Every child in the Russian Federation has
the right to receive primary, secondary and general education. Majority
parents apply for school at the age of 7. However, in some
situations you can go first class at 8
years , which is enshrined in legislative documents.

4.1 Similar articles
Education Act
The main legal act regulating education at school is Law No. 273-FZ dated 29.12.2012 “On education”.
It states that a child can enter the first grade if he has reached the age of 6. 6 months. If on September 1, the future first-grader has less, then he must pass the Psychological-Medical-Pedagogical Commission (PMPC), which will issue a conclusion on readiness for school.
At the same time, the maximum age of enrollment in the 1st grade is also stipulated. It must not exceed 8 years on September 1st.
The number of months is not taken into account in this case.
Therefore, a child can enter the first grade after 8 years, if there are reasons for this.
Most often, parents give documents for training later in the case when the minor has problems with speech or intellectual development.
In such a situation, the conclusion of the PMPK is necessary. If a child is older than 8 years old, and parents do not send him to school, then his right to receive primary education is violated.
Can there be problems with school enrollment after 8 years
There will be no problems with enrollment in an educational organization if the minor is from 6. 6 to 8 years old on September 1.
In the case when the child is planned to be sent to school later than the deadlines established by law, it is necessary to write an application addressed to the head of the educational organization to which the future student is attached in the district.
There are parents who are interested, until how many years in the first class you can enter.
The maximum period is considered to be 8 years, however, the start of training should not be delayed unless there are good reasons for this.
Psychologists believe that a child’s adaptation to school is better at 6.6-7 years.
Enrollment in first grade at 8 years of age is recommended in the following situations:
hyperactivity;
delayed speech development;
emotional immaturity;
low motivation;
mental retardation, etc.
At the same time, the conclusion of the PMPK will allow sending the child to study in a correctional institution or in a general education program according to an adaptive program.
Parents have the right not to provide an extract on the commission’s decision to a comprehensive school. This is confidential information that PMPK members do not have the right to disclose.
In this case, the child will study with other children in a regular program chosen by the teacher or school, but will not receive specialist help.
Parents of boys who later went to school worry that they will graduate at military age.
After completing secondary education, the child, even if he is over 18 years old, is given time to enter higher education institutions. Thus, the boys will go to the autumn draft, if they do not receive a deferral of study at the university.
Mental and physical readiness of the child for school
Deciding from how many years in the first class to give
child, parents should consider the following points:
the intellectual development of a preschooler must comply with age norms;
emotional maturity;
state of health;
motivation for learning;
independence;
socialization, etc.
Parents often believe that if a child can read, count and write, then he is ready for schooling.
However, emotional maturity is of great importance, which is responsible for the student’s composure in the classroom, the ability to make decisions, and establish social contacts.
Often even intellectually prepared children have problems in learning if they are not psychologically ready.
It is not recommended to rush
with admission to the first grade, if the preschooler has health problems, including
number:
chronic diseases;
immunocompromised;
recent surgery or injury.
It should be borne in mind that going to school is a physical and mental burden on a child, since the whole regime changes completely, responsibilities are added.
Therefore, in children with poor health, deterioration in physical condition, complications after illnesses are possible.
Preschoolers with intellectual or speech problems studying in kindergarten on special correctional programs are released after its development on the basis of the conclusion of the PMPK.
If the child meets the age norm, then he will not be able to stay in kindergarten to continue his education (if the child is 7 years old on September 1).
Therefore, if he has reached the age of 7, he will be released from the preschool.
Parents can apply to the kindergarten administration for further education if they plan to send him to school only at 8 years old, however, they can legally be refused.
Parents or other legal representatives of a minor are obliged to send him to school for 8 full years on September 1, while the number of months is not taken into account.
In other words, if a child was born in November 2015, then he can enter the 1st grade both in 2022 and in 2023.
Each case is individual, so it is necessary to consider the psychological and physical development of the preschooler, his readiness for learning.
If you send your child to school earlier, he may not cope well with the program, have problems with peers and teachers.
Psychologists do not recommend and delay too much with admission to the first grade, if the preschooler is fully prepared for learning and has no developmental disabilities.
Hello, the child went to school at 8 and a half years old. Now we are transferring to another school near the house, but the director of the new school refuses to take us, referring to the fact that the child is an adult for a first grader and a certificate from the PMPK is needed. It is legal?
Good afternoon! No, it’s not legal. File a complaint with the Department of Education. PMPK certificate is required for admission to the first grade after 8 years, but not for transfer from school to another school.
Hello. Can a child go to 1st grade on September 1 if the PMPK commission is finally passed in September?
No, it can’t. Without this commission, the child will not be enrolled in school, and without enrollment, he will not be able to attend it.
Conclusion
The Law “On Education” says that a first-grader can come to school at the age of 6. 6 to 8 years.
If parents plan to give up their child at the age of 8 for objective reasons, then you should write an application addressed to the administration of the selected educational institution.
In the case when a preschooler at the age of 9 does not attend school, his legal representatives may be held administratively liable for dishonest performance of parental duties and violation of the rights of a minor.
Hello! Our child’s birthday is September 1, can we go to school exactly at 8 years old?
Good afternoon! If a child is 8 years old on September 1, then he can go to first grade only after PMK.
Good afternoon! This year, on July 4, my son will be 9 years old, and this year I want to send him to the first grade. Last year, it did not work out, as there were problems with the documents. Will they accept us first without any problems?
No, they won’t. Admission to class 1 is prescribed by law – from 6.6 to 8 years. On September 1, the child must not be 8 years old.

The Ministry of Education told about the new rules for admission to the first class
Vitaly Ankov / RIA Novosti
the press service of the department reports.
– A child’s entry into first grade is an important event. This year, changes have been made to the admission procedure, according to which, for example, children have the right of priority in admission to those schools where their brothers or sisters study. This will greatly simplify the lives of many families, – commented Russian Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.
What has changed this year?
Now the admission of children to the first grade will take place in two stages.
The first stage – from April 1 to June 30. It is intended for children who have priority or preferential enrollment in schools, as well as for children who live in the assigned territory, that is, in the same area where the school is located. Extraordinary right (for children of prosecutors, judges and investigators) is valid only for schools with boarding schools.
The second stage – from July 6 until the filling of empty seats, but no later than September 5. It is intended for children who do not live in the assigned territory. That is, during this stage, you can apply to schools in another district. It is pointless to send an application to a school in another district before the start of the second stage, because it will not be accepted.
– The order in which the application is submitted at the first stage does not matter, so parents can not be afraid of any excitement. Places for children with priority, first or priority enrollment in schools, as well as for children who live in the assigned area, should be sufficient in all schools. At the second stage, children are enrolled in vacant places, – told “RG” in the department. – On the official website of the nearest school, parents can check if their house is attached to it. Not later than March 26, this information must be published on the official websites of educational organizations. Parents can also find detailed information about the new admission rules there.
Who can apply in the first stage?
1. Children living in the assigned area, that is, near the school (you can find out if your house belongs to a particular school on the official website of the educational institution).
2. Children who have a priority right in accordance with the law:
– children of a police officer, including those who died (deceased) as a result of an injury or other disease received during the period of service;
– children of a citizen dismissed from the police for health reasons or who died from such diseases within a year after leaving the service;
– children dependent on a police officer;
– children of an employee (including a deceased or deceased) who has special ranks and is serving in the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, drug control authorities, the Federal Customs Service;
– children of an employee who died (deceased) as a result of an injury or other damage to health received in connection with the performance of official duties;
– children of servicemen at the place of residence of their families;
– children of servicemen upon change of place of service, children of citizens serving under a contract, as well as upon dismissal from service upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or in connection with organizational changes – to schools closest to the new place of service or place of residence.
3. Preferential children are those whose older siblings are already in the school.
4. Extraordinary right (for children of prosecutors, judges and investigators) is valid only for boarding schools.
Who can apply for the second stage?
Everyone.
How old should a child be?
Children aged 6.5 to 8 are admitted to the first grade. At the request of the parents, the founder of the educational organization may allow the admission of the child at an earlier or later age.
Rules for Admission to a School for Children with Disabilities
Children with disabilities are accepted for training in adapted educational programs only with the consent of their parents (legal representatives) and based on the recommendations of the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission.
How to apply?
In order to simplify the process of filing documents as much as possible, we introduced several equal options:
– in person;
– by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt;
– by e-mail of the school;
– through the official website of the school;
– with the help of state or municipal services.
How to apply on the portal “Gosuslugi”?
You can apply for enrollment in the 1st grade through the State Services portal. Procedure:
Enter the portal.
Type in the search box “Entry to class 1”.
Go to the page of the service “Admission to the 1st grade of the next academic year”.
Press the “Apply” button.
Log in to the system using login and password.
Fill out the electronic application form and click the “Submit” button.
Make sure that the application is accepted by the system (changes in service status are displayed in the personal account on the portal and sent to the e-mail specified in the application).
Wait for a decision on enrollment or refusal. Bring original documents to school.
If you enrolled your child in the first stage, the result will be known no earlier than July 3, because the school first collects all applications, and then issues orders. If the application was submitted in the second stage, then the result will be known no earlier than in 3 working days.
If the child has benefits, can they apply to any school in the city?
No, the child will have priority enrollment in grade 1 only at the place of residence.
What documents are required for enrollment in the first class?
Passport or other proof of identity, such as a temporary identity card issued while the passport is issued.
Child’s birth certificate.
At the first stage – a document confirming the residence of the future first-grader in the assigned territory.
In some cases, you may need:
A document confirming the benefit (if any).
Commission’s permission to admit a child under six and a half years of age or over eight years of age to the first grade of an educational organization.
Documents that prove your legal right to represent the child (for example, the decision of the guardianship authority).
The conclusion of the psychological-medical-pedagogical commission.
A document confirming the child’s right to stay in Russia.
Documents must be attached to the application in scanned form – when submitting documents through the State Services portal, in copies with the presentation of the originals – when choosing other methods of submitting an application.
What do I need to include in my school application?
– Surname, name, patronymic of the child and parent;
– date of birth of the child;
– the address of the place of residence or the address of the place of stay of the child and the parent;
– e-mail address, phone number of the parent;
– information on the availability of the right of extraordinary, priority or preferential admission;
– consent of the parent or applicant for the processing of personal data.
What to do if admission is refused?
A public school can only refuse admission if there are no more places available. In this case, the local education authorities must help the parents to place the child in another school. When distributing assigned territories, the number of children living there is taken into account, so refusal to admit at the first stage is unlikely, emphasize the Ministry of Education.
Can a child whose older brother or sister is already in this educational organization be denied admission?
One of the most anticipated innovations: now they cannot refuse admission to a child whose older brother or sister is already studying in this educational organization, as, unfortunately, it happened before, so parents had to take their children to different schools. This rule does not depend on the territory where the children live, but there is a nuance – children must live in the same family and have a common place of residence.
Are there any mistakes in understanding the new procedure for admitting children?
1. Some people think that the number of beneficiaries is too large, so there will not be enough places in schools for those children who live nearby. In fact, there are not so many children in privileged categories, they will not significantly affect the situation with enrollment in grade 1.
2. It is said that all preferential categories have been introduced this year. In fact, the regulations adopted from 1998 to 2012 are simply brought together.
3. Parents are afraid that all places in the chosen schools will be taken by the children of prosecutors, judges and investigators, who have the right of early admission. In fact, they will only be able to use their benefits by enrolling in boarding schools – these benefits do not apply to ordinary schools.
4. Many people think that all children with priority admission will choose the best school in the city, and there will be no places left for the rest. In fact, the right of priority admission only extends to the schools where these children live.
Where can I find out about the new admission procedure for children?
Order of the Ministry of Education of Russia No. 458 dated 09/02/2020, which approved the new procedure for admitting children to study in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education can be found here.
Comments
Irina Vladimirovna Kurbatova, director of the MAOU “Education Center 13 named after Hero of the Soviet Union N.A. Kuznetsov” (Tambov):
“The new procedure for admission to school is more socialized. We in Tambov want to enter in the first grade in some areas there are much more than there are places.Therefore, there were cases when parents had to take older and younger children to different schools.Now such situations will be excluded.Secondly, the extended deadline for accepting documents removes the unhealthy hype that accompanied this process until now. Parents can take their time and apply at a convenient time. Thirdly, the range of application options has been expanded and all the nuances have been taken into account. Those parents who do not have access to the Internet can apply in person. difficult work schedule, it will be easier to do everything remotely, without leaving your home or office.Fourthly, school employees who do not have to work around the clock benefit – the allocated period of time is sufficient to calmly carry out all the prescribed procedures.
Valentina Aleksandrovna Afonskaya, Lyceum No. 121 (Republic of Tatarstan):
“Parents should not worry about the new procedure for admission to schools, since now all the rules are clear and very clearly spelled out. Now the decisions of the executive committees have already been posted on the official websites educational organizations, and parents will be able to check which school their house is attached to.I want to draw attention to this aspect: if parents apply via the Internet, then they will then have to provide original documents to the school. information, the school has the right to refuse the applicants. Of course, the child will be given the opportunity to study, but not the fact that in the school where his parents wanted to send him. Therefore, I urge all moms and dads to be careful about filling out the questionnaires.”
Dmitry Anatolyevich Gladyshev, director of MAOU secondary school No. 59 “Perspektiva” (Lipetsk):
“We used to start accepting applications for school from February 1, according to the new rules – from April 1 to June 30. I consider this date more adequate. On the one hand, the school has enough time to carry out the admission procedure. On the other hand, by this time, parents will have already made their choice in principle, and their plans will already become more definite. Still, a lot can change since February – people can move to another place, for example.
Irina Viktorovna Ilyicheva, Principal of School No. 1409 (Moscow):
“Even before, this process was well-established in our country, since a unified educational environment has been created in Moscow: the child enters preschool groups of the educational complex and then is transferred to primary school on the application of the parents. But the new procedure for enrolling in educational organizations has become even more convenient. The fact that you can apply in different ways makes life easier for parents.”
Is it necessary to teach a child to read before school and how is this related to the further reading literacy of children?
A study by our colleagues in the Laboratory showed that educational inequality manifests itself even before school. This is due to how differently they deal with children in families with different levels of cultural capital.
firestock
Many schools now have an unwritten rule that children must be able to read by the first grade. But visiting kindergartens in our country is not mandatory. In addition, the problem of their availability is also far from being solved everywhere. Therefore, this difficult task – the formation of early reading literacy – falls on the shoulders of parents.
Andrey Zakharov and Anastasia Kapuza, members of the International Laboratory for Education Policy Analysis, decided to take a closer look at this issue and find out exactly how parents teach children to read in different families and what results these efforts bring.
Kapuza Anastasia Vasilievna
International Laboratory for Education Policy Analysis: Intern Researcher
We conducted a study based on the data of the international monitoring PIRLS, which took place in 2011. It was attended by 4461 fourth-graders from 202 Russian schools. We were interested in how the level of literacy of children at school entry and in the 4th grade is associated with the cultural capital of the family, attendance at kindergarten, and various reading teaching practices used by parents with different levels of education.
How parents teach their children to read before school
Ways of teaching reading can be divided into formal and informal. Formal ones are more focused on the mechanics of the reading process. That is, on the perception and pronunciation of letters, syllables and words. For example, this is learning the alphabet or playing with words. In informal practices, more attention is paid to the comprehension of texts – this is the joint reading and discussion of books.
Andrey Zakharov
Deputy Head of the International Laboratory for Education Policy Analysis
In general, parents with higher education are more likely to start teaching their children to read before school. Moreover, strategies for engaging with children are also related to the level of education of parents. The longer a child goes to kindergarten, the more often parents without higher education work with him. That is, such children are taught to read both in the garden and at home. At the same time, parents more often use the whole diverse set of practices: both formal and informal. We called this approach “reinforcement strategy” . We assume that this strategy is a response to requests from kindergarten teachers who encourage parents to engage with their children.
Parents with higher education use “compensation strategy” . In such families, they are more involved with children if they do not go to kindergarten. Moreover, such parents use predominantly informal practices – they try to instill in the child an interest in reading, are engaged in language development and general education.
The more often parents work with their children before school, the higher the level of children’s reading literacy – both when entering the first grade, and later, in the 4th grade. For children from families with a large amount of cultural capital, an increase in the level of reading literacy is associated with the use of informal practices by parents. But parents without higher education can apply any practice – the results of children will only get better.
Reading Literacy and Kindergarten
A child’s progress in reading also depends on whether he attended kindergarten. This is very important for families with little cultural capital. The longer a child goes to kindergarten, the better he reads when entering school. This is due to the combined effect of the joint efforts of teachers and parents.
But for children from families with a large amount of cultural capital, the duration of kindergarten attendance is not critical for their level of reading literacy.
– The compensation strategy probably works, the researchers conclude. – Parents with higher education compensated for the absence of a kindergarten by studying at home.
As a result, children from families with low cultural capital, who did not go to kindergarten, find themselves in the most difficult situation. They are less likely to learn to read by grade 1, because neither teachers nor parents teach them. Such children are more likely to lag behind their peers in the classroom at school.
Parental support for children’s reading in the 4th grade
Of course, schools do not leave children with poor reading skills unattended. They are trying to somehow influence families. Parents without higher education are more likely to join classes with children in the 4th grade. Apparently, under the pressure of the school (on average, students from such families read worse), such parents begin to pay more attention to reading to children and discussing what they have read with them. But in 4th grade it may be too late for that.
– We were surprised to see that frequent activities with children in the 4th grade were negatively associated with their reading literacy, the researchers say. – At first they didn’t even believe it, so they made the same analysis for other PIRLS member countries. In many countries, the trend has repeated. This is explained by the fact that by the fourth grade children should already be able to read, and if they have to constantly do extra work with them at this age, it means that they have problems with reading.
Outgoing train
On the example of reading, we see that the strategies for teaching children, which are chosen by parents with different amounts of cultural capital, give different results:
Parents with higher education are involved in the education of children before school. They are like passengers who come to the train in advance and take good seats. As a result, their children show a higher level of reading literacy both when they enter the 1st grade and the 4th grade. Parents without higher education prefer to delegate the function of teaching to school. They are connected only when teachers begin to draw their attention to the need to work with children. For example, when in elementary school it becomes obvious that the child is lagging behind in reading. Then the parents are somewhat belatedly connected to the education of children – as if trying to jump into the car of the departing train, but the time has already passed.
It is clear that it is impossible to force parents to take care of their children. But this state of affairs reduces the chances of successful study for a certain part of the children. If they do not read well in the primary grades, then it will be more difficult for them to learn the material in the classroom and do their homework. All this leads to the fact that the gap in educational achievements between students from different families will grow.
A child goes to school
How to help a first grader adapt to school faster
First time in first class! This is a responsible and exciting event that changes a lot in a child’s life. The first step from the world of childhood, games into another, adult, more strict, orderly world – the world of a schoolchild. This transition is difficult for the child not only psychologically, it also carries a considerable burden on his health.
The start of school is the most important period in a first grader’s life. The carefree life is over, rather difficult and serious tests are ahead. The child enters a new team – one must obey his discipline, adapt to the new regime. The person is still small, and there are many responsibilities, the load on the body increases. The main thing here is the transition from play to work, everyday, obligatory, long-term work. This transition is not easy even for those children who have prepared for it in children’s institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare all children for school, but, first of all, those who do not attend kindergarten. This does not mean at all that parents should replace the teacher – after all, they do not own the methodology for teaching reading and writing, which is accepted in modern schools; nevertheless, mothers and fathers should try to deal with the child every day in order to accustom the future student to perseverance, to train his attention. A first grader should be able to focus continuously for 15-20 minutes.
Special attention should be paid to the development of the child’s hand. Physiologists have proven that it plays an important role in the formation of the brain and the formation of one of its functions – the speech of the child. Well develops the hand drawing, modeling from plasticine.
Pay attention to the child’s speech. Its development and improvement is helped by memorizing songs, listening to poems, fairy tales, stories. During the story, pay the child’s attention to the correct pronunciation of sounds and understanding of the content. If a child has speech defects, stuttering, incorrect pronunciation of sounds, it is important to eliminate these defects in the child before school and seek help from a speech therapist.
Once or twice a week, prepare for writing. It should be remembered that a child cannot write continuously for more than three minutes: he gets tired, mistakes appear, so take breaks after 2-3 minutes. Classes should be short, it is better if they take place in the form of a game with mandatory breaks. The kid needs to be praised even for small successes.
Prepare your child for school persistently, intelligently, observing measure and tact. Remember your childhood more often – this is a good school of life.
The first year of education is a period of adaptation of the child to new living conditions and it proceeds in different ways. Many first-graders take a long time to get used to a new environment. It is difficult for them to sit in class, to complete all assignments in a timely manner. Some children are not able to establish positive relationships with their peers or with the teacher, it is not easy for them to get used to the new team. Some of the children experience difficulties in learning, do not cope with the academic load. In response to the new requirements of the school, in the first months the child may complain of fatigue, headaches, irritability, tearfulness, sleep disturbance, and often a feeling of fear. The occurrence of many of these difficulties is determined by the individual characteristics of the child.
Many children of 6 years of age have insufficiently developed attention, which may be due to increased impressionability. It is not easy in the first grade for the so-called pedagogically neglected children, in whose upbringing gross deviations are made. Most often this applies to children from dysfunctional families, where parents abuse alcohol and do not raise children. These children have a poor stock of knowledge, they are not prepared for school and experience learning difficulties.
6-year-old children have a strong need for movement. If it is impossible to satisfy it, their muscle tension increases, attention worsens, and fatigue quickly sets in. For this reason, they run around during breaks, make noise, fight.
How can we make it easier for a child to adapt to school, which for most children lasts 1-1.5 months?
First of all, the child must feel that his parents support him, believe in his efforts, understand the importance of his new duties and the difficulties associated with this. Of course, at first, not everything goes well with the student. However, this should not change the attitude towards him of the closest people at home. It is very important that it always remains even, benevolent, encouraging. No matter how the child is previously prepared for a new mode of life and work at school, he has to learn everything in practice. Parents should delve into the school affairs of their son or daughter every day, be interested in everything that happened in the classroom during lessons, breaks, during a walk. Sometimes not everything that a child encounters, he can correctly comprehend. For example, a student tried to complete a task, but he did not succeed very well. So far, the child understands only that he has put in the effort, and he is not yet able to fully appreciate the result of the work. At the same time, parents should not reproach the child for an unimportant result, but praise him for his efforts, and only after that calmly explain the importance of the result of any work performed.
If the difficulties of adaptation are related to the child’s behavior in the classroom or during breaks, it is not worth punishing the first-grader; It is better to calmly sort out the mistakes in his behavior with him so that he understands and feels them.
A well thought-out home environment will make it easier to adapt to school. The student must be given a permanent place to study. The size of the desktop and chair should correspond to the height of the child. The most suitable would be a table, the height of which is two centimeters higher than the elbow of the child standing next to him. If the table is higher, it is advisable to put a bench under your feet, and put something hard on the chair seat. Children’s desk and chair can be bought in the store, they can be made to order, you can even make them yourself. To preserve children’s health, it is important that all furniture is made from natural materials: for example, from solid wood, the chair upholstery is made from natural fabrics. They are environmentally friendly, do not evaporate harmful and dangerous compounds into the air that the child breathes, like some types of plastics and wood-glue boards. For the same reason, it is worth examining the certificates of selected tables, chairs, shelves and everything else: do they meet the hygiene standards for children’s furniture.
Books, notebooks, pens, pencils, albums – a student has a lot of things. If the looked after desk does not have built-in drawers (this design distinguishes many desks), you need to buy shelves, cabinets or other storage devices. The shelf can be hung above the table so that the child can easily reach the books from his seat. At the same time, in no case should it be placed above the student’s workplace itself. Drawer cabinets are a handy option for storing notebooks, pens, paints, scrapbooks, and more. Usually they are equipped with wheels, so that they can be pushed under the table and pulled out if necessary, even to the middle of the room. And you can buy a rack, the lower shelves will be occupied by toys, and the upper ones by educational supplies.
Care must be taken to ensure that the child does not lean low over a book or notebook. You can check whether the child observes the distance from the eyes to the surface of the table (the most convenient distance is 30-35 centimeters to the surface of the table) by placing a hand on the elbow, while the fingertips should touch the temporal region of the head, and the eyes should be at the level of the thumb. If the child constantly tries to lean over the table below the prescribed level, it is necessary to consult an eye doctor and check visual acuity.
The child’s table should be well lit. Therefore, it is better to put it near the window so that the light falls on the left side of the child sitting at the table. In the autumn-winter period in the afternoon, natural light alone is not enough, and it is advisable to use a table lamp with a shade for the work of a student. Place it on the table so that the light falls from the side of the student’s left hand. For uniform table lighting, in addition to a table lamp, a chandelier is also included.
When reading, it is useful to learn to use a special book stand, set at an angle of 40 ° to the horizontal surface of the table, which makes it easier for the eyes and makes it less tiring.
When a child sits down to do homework, the noise in the apartment will disturb him. At this time, you should turn off the TV, radio or other sound sources, if they are in the same room where the student’s workplace, located in another room, it is enough to mute. Music or conversation distracts attention, interferes with concentration and therefore increases the degree of fatigue of the child from the work performed. To make the adaptation to school easier, it is extremely important to follow the first-grader regimen from the first day. Such a measure will protect him from overwork. In the daily routine, it is necessary to provide for the time of getting up, eating, studying at school, walking and outdoor games in the air, doing homework, helping around the house, hygiene and hardening procedures, and going to bed.
During the school period, a child can watch TV programs for no more than 20-30 minutes and no more than 2-3 times a week, and on weekends up to 40 minutes. Remember: evening TV viewing overloads the child’s nervous system.
Preparing lessons immediately after returning from school is not recommended. The child should have a good rest, play in the air to relieve fatigue and restore strength. Physiologists have established that the physical and mental performance of children during the day is not the same. It is highest in the morning hours (8-11 o’clock), then decreases, and a new rise occurs by 16-17 o’clock. It is during this period that it is recommended that first-graders take on homework. After 30 minutes of work, the child needs a short break (for 10-15 minutes). During such a rest, you must definitely get up from the table, walk around the room, perform several physical exercises.
Now almost every home has a computer, and it is not a luxury, but a learning tool. If you decide to put the computer in the child’s workplace, you should not put it directly on the desk: it is very difficult to maintain the required distance from the eyes to the monitor. It is better to put a special corner computer table. This will save the child’s eyesight and not clutter up the working space of the desk with the monitor. By the way, it is worth remembering that the recommended norm of working at a computer for a child is from 15 minutes a day for a first grader, to two sets of 30-40 minutes for high school students, if this time is longer, rest for 15 minutes after each hour of work.
During the period of adaptation to school, the child should not be loaded with classes in various circles, sections. Intense extracurricular activities will make it difficult and delay the process of getting used to learning at school. It is also recommended to avoid traumatic medical interventions: dental treatment, planned surgical operations.
Children, and six-year-olds in particular, have a natural need for movement, they are extremely useful for outdoor games, physical exercises in the fresh air, which increases the body’s resistance to diseases, improves health. On school days, a six-year-old child should be outdoors for at least 3-3.5 hours.
So, in order for the baby to safely get used to new conditions and study with joy, parents need to: strictly follow the recommendations of doctors and teachers, carefully monitor the child’s health, weight, height and neuropsychic development, provide health improvement and treatment children, depending on the results of medical examinations, organize the correct daily regimen, close to the regimen that will be adopted at the school where the child enters, provide rational nutrition, hardening, observe the duration of sleep and time spent in the fresh air, cultivate a friendly attitude towards children and adults . The atmosphere in the family should be calm. Do not give in to emotions, they are bad advisers. The future of a growing person largely depends on your attitude to the child and his problems, and only attention, patience and a desire to help will bring success.
Fulfilling these recommendations, dear parents, you will help your child successfully enter a new period of his life, learning will not be a torment either for the child or for you.
I would also like to say that preparation for school is required not only for weakened, but also for healthy children. Parents can get all the information necessary for this in the children’s polyclinic in Novopolotsk, room No. 18.

how to prepare a child for school on your own ✅ IQsha.ru Blog
What to pay attention to when preparing children for school, is it possible to do it on your own and when to start, and also how to behave with a child in this difficult time? In this article we will give answers to all questions.
When to start preparing
Going to school is always exciting for both adults and children. Some parents start preparations in advance so that by the first grade the child has already mastered the skills of reading, writing and counting. Often parents are interested in the question of how to teach a child to hold a pen, how to teach to read and count. There is another category of adults who believe that teaching everything is the task of teachers. Such parents spend almost no time preparing their children for school. Which of them is right? There is no right answer, and there is no single solution. Each family chooses for itself, based on its capabilities and the abilities of the child.
What happens if a child is not prepared for school? Nothing terrible. In the first grade, children will be taught to read, write, and count. But in this case, parents should be prepared that the child may fall behind classmates who have already mastered these skills. A first grader who is learning about letters and counting will have more difficult assignments, and homework will take more time. This situation is not conducive to success and may result in such a strong decrease in interest and motivation to study that the child no longer wants to go to school. Therefore, most parents try to prepare their children for the first grade in advance. At what age is it better to start training? We recommend no earlier than five years. During this period, children are especially inquisitive and show a desire to learn. Start preparing children for school gradually and always in a fun way.
Necessary knowledge and skills of a future first grader
Preparation for school is a very versatile process in which it is important to take into account the knowledge, skills and abilities of a future first grader.
Physical development
A first-grader will spend a lot of time on the move: the road to school, breaks, outdoor games, so bring up physical endurance in children.
In this pursuit, a personal example is important: move, spend time with children on the street, play active games. If possible, enroll your child in a sports section before starting school. So the baby will get used to regular classes and systematic physical activity.
Compliance with the daily routine can also be attributed to such training. Children who have not been accustomed to this are much more difficult to adapt to the school routine. This is especially true for preschoolers who do not attend kindergarten. At least a few months before school, start waking your child at the same time, and also try to organize meals, getting up and going to bed according to a clear schedule.
Teach preschoolers to discipline themselves by washing and dressing themselves, making their beds, and putting away toys and books. To do this, come up with an exciting game where all actions will become part of a big adventure-quest: complete them at speed, earn bonuses, share achievements with each other, add funny rituals. Be sure to praise the child if he did it faster than usual, and support him if he is a little late today. The main thing is to keep a good mood! In this game form, you can unobtrusively accustom a preschooler to the regimen and later to independent school gatherings.
Psychological development
Assess how the child realizes that now in his life there will be not only games, but also studies.
First, pay attention to the emotional-volitional sphere: the future first grader must control emotions. The inability to restrain joy, anger, excitement, resentment can affect the relationship between classmates and affect the quality of study.
Secondly, train the concentration and perseverance of a preschooler: teach your child to complete the work that has been started, not leaving them to the last moment. Arrange home “lessons” – draw, sculpt, do hatching, but always at the table and for 15-20 minutes, without interrupting other tasks. Systematicity and habit are important – to work strictly at the workplace, concentrating on a specific task. In the development of such household chores like taking care of your pet, cleaning your room, or watering your flowers also help a lot.Psychological readiness for school is often the most important in the overall assessment of a child’s readiness for school.
Intellectual development
This is not only the ability to read, write, count (after all, this can be taught at school). It is more important to teach the child to reason, compare facts, be able to express their thoughts and argue them.
This will require logic and speech. Logical thinking helps to analyze and compare information, find and apply non-standard solutions, and developed speech will allow you to communicate more comfortably in a team and in the classroom. The child will be able to easily express his thoughts, defend his point of view. Then communication will bring pleasure and joy. Try to pass tests for first graders together. What will be the results?
How do you prepare your child for school on your own?
Studying at school changes the whole habitual life of a child. Is it possible to independently prepare the baby for a new stage? Of course! The main thing is to stock up on time, desire and patience. Preparing for school is a long process, which consists not only in learning to read and write, but also in the psychological support of the future first grader.
When choosing preparation for school in a developing studio or in a preparatory class, it is important to understand that only knowledge can give there. They do not teach discipline and daily routine. But the training itself in the studio is more efficient, because the preschooler is in a team and quickly learns new information.
Another alternative for busy parents is online classes. Is it possible to entrust this important process to Internet services for child development and be calm about the result? More likely no than yes.
The advantage is that the child will study on his own, because all the lessons are made in an accessible and exciting way. But adults must definitely control the learning process and check how well the preschooler learns information.
Therefore, online services are great helpers, but they cannot completely replace classical training. The best training option is a combined one, when the baby is engaged at home and in a preparatory studio or on child development sites.

Preparing the workplace
This is a very important point, because in order for the posture and vision of the future first grader to be in order, you need to properly organize the workplace .
What should be taken into account?
It is best to purchase a table and chair that will “grow” with your child. They should be strong, stable and comfortable.
You can occasionally use a fitball instead of a chair. To maintain balance, the student will have to sit straight, otherwise the spine is not overloaded from a static posture.
When working at a computer, the child’s feet should be on the floor and their hands should be on top of the keyboard. When choosing furniture for a future student, be sure to consider this point.
When the child looks at the monitor, the gaze should be directed to the center or slightly above the screen.
Don’t forget good lighting, air temperature and room humidity.
If there is a TV or a game console in the room of a future first-grader, it is better to remove them. The period of adaptation to school is difficult and difficult, therefore it is better to eliminate all distracting objects.
These tips will help you set up your workplace so that your baby is healthy and comfortable.
Making a class schedule
Preparing a child for school includes the ability to follow the daily routine, observing the regime and keeping track of time. Punctuality is a wonderful skill that will definitely come in handy for a future student. How to bring up this quality in a child?
Make a daily routine and class schedule together. If everything is clear with the first point, then how to organize the schedule?
Decide how often the baby will exercise: a little every day or every few days, but longer?
Where will you study: at home, in a development studio, or both?
Do not forget about the alternation of study and rest. Between classes, there must be periods of entertainment and physical activity.
Also alternate the lessons according to the degree of difficulty so as not to overload the baby.
Try to diversify your classes so that the future student is fun and interesting.
Remember that the class schedule is not about “you have to and you have to”, so make it flexible. The task of parents is to show the child the importance of time and the effectiveness of the list of lessons, and not to discourage the desire to go to school. It is in your power to make preparation for grade 1 not an obstacle course, but an exciting process.
We select activities and games for the future first grader
Getting ready for school, you do not need to radically change the lifestyle, daily routine and daily activities of the child. Sometimes it’s enough just to adapt familiar games and turn them into full-fledged activities. It is important to do this in such a way that the game continues to be enjoyable.
Next, we will tell you how you can train the skills and consolidate the knowledge of the baby while playing. Use our ideas or come up with your own fun, taking into account the hobbies of the future first-grader.
Games to prepare children for school
Circle the circle
This is an attention exercise. The task of the child is to find in a newspaper or magazine, for example, the letter “D” or the syllable “NA”. You can also play this development game in a team, marking the time.
To reinforce the topic, offer your child to collect puzzles, go through Schulte tables and various labyrinths, which also develop attention and observation in a playful way.
“Friendly words”
The task is aimed at the development of memory. Read a few pairs of words to the child, for example, “rain-umbrella”, “rubber boots”, “doll-beads”, “paper-glue”, etc. Words must be connected in meaning. Then take turns reading only the first or only the second words of the pair. The child must name the missing word. Gradually increase the number of pairs or their difficulty.
Know-It-All
This is a speech development game. The task of the child is simple – to give a description of any word that the adult has named. For example, what does the word “blizzard”, “closet” or “hurricane” mean? If the preschooler cannot immediately answer, help him by asking leading questions.
Cotton Top
Fun is great for reinforcing and expanding a child’s knowledge of the world around them. Choose what topic you will train, voice it to the baby and name the words. If a preschooler hears an extra word, he clap or stomp. For example, the theme “Birds”: woodpecker, sparrow, wolf, snowman, cuckoo, bullfinch, peacock, fox, tit, etc. If two or more participants participate in the game, it turns into a real competition with fun and laughter.
Choose topics for the game based on the interests of the baby, as well as on the list of knowledge and skills that a first grader should have.
“Find the Shapes”
Ask your child to name as many objects of a certain shape that are in the room as possible: squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and more. Gradually complicate the task and look for figures for a while or competing with each other.
If the future student is a connoisseur of geometric shapes, invite him to solve all the puzzles in the article “Interesting Geometry Problems and Geometric Puzzles”.
Accountants
This is one of the simplest and most popular tasks for strengthening counting skills. Ask your kid to count all the objects in the pictures, billboard, plate, bag – anywhere in a certain time! For example, “Count how many street lamps are on this street?” or “How many cups are on the table?”. Count with the baby everything that is possible, and at any time. Then a simple walk can turn into an exciting adventure!
Collectors
The game is aimed at developing fine motor skills. First, pick up small items of different shapes and textures, then place them in one container and invite the baby to sort them into separate groups. For example, fold buttons on the left, and pebbles on the right. Developing fine motor skills of the child, you prepare his hand for writing.
Useful materials for parents – tasks, games, examples

The most important thing is to be attentive and patient with the child, take into account his wishes, do not race for success, looking back at the achievements of other children. First of all, it depends on the parents what the attitude of the future first-grader will be towards school. Be warm, accepting mentors, talk to the child more often and ask how he feels, trying to show as much participation as possible. Don’t make getting ready for school your number one goal.

It does not need to be expressed every day, but we can thank our mom and dad any day with some extra effort.

Dear Moms and Dads,
Thank you. We might not always show it, but we are so grateful for your selflessness in helping us get through these difficult days.
You have always been here for us but these times have forced you to shoulder even more of the burden. Sometimes we forget that you juggle your own challenging job with all of the household chores including the difficult task of keeping everyone fed.
College students may not always say it, but here are the things they want to thank their parents for. (Twenty20 @JulieK)
1. Thank you for being there for me in times of need
“Due to the physical and social isolation, COVID-19 has largely been a mental health journey. I went through episodes of loneliness, boredom, and anxiety. I struggled with finding purpose in my life. But during my most vulnerable moments, my mom was always there to listen, show empathy, and help me find a solution. I know I’m in a much better place than I otherwise would be because of her.” — Victor Li, senior at University of California, Los Angeles
2. Thank you for sending me care packages
“My mom sent me and my friends a care package for every holiday last fall. The little things like this really do make a difference in making me feel appreciated. I was a transfer student and receiving these packages truly made me so happy.” — Ally Williams, junior at University of California, Santa Barbara
3. Thank you for supporting me financially

I am thankful that my parents still give me the freedom to live life despite the circumstances and while following CDC guidelines.” — Joelle Ballecer, senior at Arizona State University
4.
Thank you for welcoming me home for the holidays
“I am so lucky that my parents really did a lot in helping me get through this difficult time. They helped me take care of my puppy which I am very thankful for. Even though this would normally be a much different winter break, I am happy I got to spend more time with my family while staying at home.” — Irene Chen, senior at University of California, Santa Barbara
5. Thank you for understanding how hard this is as a college student
“During the pandemic, my parents have been very mindful of my feelings and my mental health, and have been there to support me. They understand that these are unprecedented times so they give me space and time to process my thoughts and let me make my own decisions and try to guide me the best they can.
They encouraged me to put my mental health in front of academics and just want me to be happy and that takes a big burden off my shoulders.” — Amber Li, senior at Arizona State University

“For me, I’ve always dealt with struggles in my mental health; however, this has become even more prominent during the pandemic. I am so grateful for my parents being able to provide me with all the resources I needed to help address these concerns and for always checking in on me during a time where loneliness is something I have become accustomed to.” — Johnny Pineda, senior at University of California, Santa Barbara
8. Thank you for cooking for me
“I’m thankful for my parents always cooking meals for me. I’m also thankful that they give me a quiet space to study for school and they always make an effort to create a quiet environment when I take tests so there are little distractions. Another thing I am grateful for is my parents made me feel at home and comfortable during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.” — Rebecca Li, senior at University of California, Berkeley
9. Thank you for giving me space
“I am truly thankful that my parents gave me space to get my schoolwork done. I lived at home last quarter because my school work was online and I am very happy that my parents were super understanding that I was always busy with schoolwork. Another thing my parents did was that they would cook for me whenever I was stressed out, which was so helpful because online school can be overwhelming.” — Alise Cung, sophomore at University of California, Santa Barbara

I’m always afraid not to be in time to tell you at dawn — THANK YOU! For love and for being me, And for being a little beautiful. I’m always afraid of being late, I’m always afraid of not getting there And forgetting or not recognizing A warm, quiet echo of childhood. I’m constantly afraid of not catching up, My only, important train for me, To tell you when I come, That I live, as I was taught, to the conscience. To look at least once again At the mountain ash and the slenderness of birch, To breathe in with all my chest, as in childhood The spirit of the January evil frost. He will see his own eyes again, That they are not tired of life yet And with a smile to say softly: “Have you arrived, or were you not waiting?” I’m always afraid not to be in time to tell you at dawn – THANK YOU! For love and for being YOU, And for being born happy!!! Author: Nadezhda Runde

I’m always afraid not to be in time to tell you at dawn — THANK YOU! For love and for being me, And for being a little beautiful. I’m always afraid of being late, I’m always afraid of not getting there And forgetting or not recognizing A warm, quiet echo of childhood. I’m constantly afraid of not catching up, My only, important train for me, To tell you when I come, That I live, as I was taught, to the conscience. To at least once again look At the mountain ash and the slenderness of birch, To, as in childhood, breathe in with all my chest The spirit of the January evil frost. He will see his own eyes again, That they are not yet tired of life And with a smile to say softly: “Have you arrived, or were you not waiting?” I’m always afraid not to be in time to tell you at dawn – THANK YOU! For love and for being YOU, And for being born happy!!! Author: Nadezhda Runde

Words of gratitude to parents at graduation – in prose
Dear parents! In all the successes achieved during the training, of course, there is your merit. Your daily efforts, efforts, labors were imperceptible at first glance, but important and significant. Over the years of study, you have shown a creative approach and an active life position in solving many problems no less than students. Thank you for your indifference, responsibility and attention, for taking the time to listen, to understand the essence of the problems, to help with your studies and overcome the difficulties that arise.
I am grateful to my parents for many things, but today I would like to thank you for being with me all the years of study, patiently “learning” with me, worrying and helping in every way they could, responding to requests and wishes. Thank you for your invaluable contribution to my education, and for finding the strength to support.
Thank you, dear parents, for participating in the life of the class, for solving many everyday problems and helping to organize events. We are grateful to you for your responsiveness and interest in our affairs. Over the past years, you have always come to the rescue and extended a helping hand to the school and the class – this is very valuable for us, even if we sometimes forgot to tell you about it.
Today, on the day of completion of education, it is necessary to remember that our parents were constantly and directly involved in the educational process, were active, involved and responsible participants in everything that happened to us during the years of study. We express our sincere gratitude for the comprehensive cooperation with the educational institution, the sensitive attitude to any requests and problems, the desire to be the best parents and a real support for your children, their friends and teachers. We are sure that all your efforts were not in vain – you set a great example and your children will undoubtedly become wonderful parents to your grandchildren.
Thank you for always trying to understand and help, trying to be fair and you succeeded, trying to reduce the number of difficulties, not increase them. Thank you for your wisdom and timely advice. Thank you for sparing no time and effort to improve the conditions of study and help in organizing optimal conditions for the comprehensive development of today’s graduates. We believe that the children of such parents will be up to all the challenges ahead! New successes to you and your children!
Dear parents! All the past years, you, no less than the teachers, had to show patience, selflessness, high dedication, sensitivity, caution and responsiveness. We are sincerely grateful to you for the example that you set for your children and all of us – an example of responsible and conscious parenting, friendship, endurance and perseverance in solving educational issues. We wish that all the best expectations that you place on your children come true!
You, together with us, overcame step by step, year after year, this path and deserve today the warmest and most sincere words of gratitude. Thank you for the optimism with which you looked at any difficulties and obstacles, and which were many in the way of education and enlightenment of children. Thank you for your indulgence to mistakes and the positivity that you tried to bring to the sometimes difficult days of study. Thank you for trying to inspire when there were no ideas, and share your experience when there were no solutions to current problems. For the constant financial support, of course, a special thanks to you. Don’t let your kids disappoint you!
On the graduation day, our parents deserve the warmest words of gratitude. .. After all, all these years they gave us their love, support, confidence in the future and that everything will be fine in the end. We thank them for their endless faith in us – this faith gave us strength and perseverance, helped us overcome despondency and cope with adversity, and often inspired us. All this was not in vain!
Dear parents, the years of study would have been much more difficult and sad if not for your support, cooperation and assistance in solving any current problems. We sincerely thank you for helping us grow up, make the right decisions, share our experience and ideas, and help us turn ideas into reality. All this has become the basis of many current and future successes. And no matter how big the successes of your children were, because without you they could not exist at all. I am sure (s) that these years of fruitful interaction with children in their studies will fall into the treasury of the best common memories of every family.
Dear friends! We left behind unforgettable years of study and all these years our parents were with us. They served as a reliable support in any undertaking, helped to realize many plans, went through difficulties with us and made amazing discoveries. We express our deep gratitude to them for their help in achieving the main goal – obtaining a quality education and useful skills, mastering the knowledge and sciences necessary for life. Special thanks for your endurance and patience – after all, many parents had to do this for the second and even third time in their lives (depending on the number of children in the family). I wish that every day of your life will continue to be informative and happy, and the reward for your efforts will be generous.
Thank you for sharing not only joys but also sorrows with us. You tried to be conscientious parents and you succeeded. Every day you gave your warmth, sympathy, smiles, support and a piece of your soul to all of us – thanks to this, the years of study were joyful, and successes were numerous. Let the passed important stage in life be replaced by another, no less happy and successful stage. And may the future adult life of your children, in which you have invested a lot of your work, be sure to be successful, bright, interesting and even more productive.
Thanks to the parents for making every possible effort to prepare today’s graduates for the big swim called “adulthood”. In this “swimming” many opportunities await them – let them see each and be able to take advantage of all. Also, many difficulties await them – let them be easily overcome, and do not require any sacrifice from all of you.
Parents can be thanked endlessly, but at graduation I would like to thank them for teaching children kindness and decency, caring for others and mutual understanding, instilling love for work and the ability to make responsible decisions over the past years. You tried to correctly resolve conflicts and prevent problems. We can confidently say that the favorable atmosphere in the class (group), the successes achieved and the children’s victories won are your merit. Thank you for your invaluable, hard, everyday parenting work. Let your patience not run out, motivation not disappear, dedication not decrease. Health to you, and new victories!
All these years you have helped us overcome ignorance, overcome laziness, increase personal efficiency, enslave knowledge and make it serve us for our benefit. Thank you for your care, perseverance, foresight, empathy and compassion. And most importantly, thank you for the love. We promise that your efforts will not be in vain.
Dear parents! Your children’s years of study have further revealed your wonderful personal qualities – patience, perseverance in achieving goals, perseverance in solving problems, responsiveness, sensitivity, empathy, compassion, endurance, the ability not to give up in the face of difficulties and striving for success. You sought to teach children not to give up in the face of difficulties, to teach them how to live and communicate effectively in society, resolve conflicts peacefully and painstakingly master everything new. I thank you for your desire to make the years of study easier for all of us, to make difficulties easily overcome, and the educational process to be effective and of high quality. Today, you, just like the graduates, are looking to the future, so I wish you that this future turns out to be bright, bright and cloudless. You deserve it!
Dear parents! Mastering new knowledge and skills is not easy for anyone, but thanks to you, the years of study will be remembered by each of us with a warm atmosphere, fun events, good meetings, new knowledge and invaluable experience. Thank you for your constant care and timely inclusion in the solution of all educational tasks. Special thanks for trying to make this time carefree and at the same time prepare us for independent living.
You have done a lot to ensure that today we take with us only warm memories of the years of study. We will forever be grateful to you for this.
Beloved parents! Together with the teachers, you tried your best so that we not only get an education, but also become purposeful, harmoniously developed individuals with a broad outlook, many useful skills, moral principles and a moral core. Thank you for your creative work. We are sure you have succeeded!
We have been waiting for this day for many years of study. Today we will open the door to an adult life filled with independent decisions. And we will definitely make the right decisions, because all the previous years we were taught this by our teachers and parents. We promise that for the rest of our lives we will keep in our hearts a feeling of deep gratitude for their work and care.
We thank our parents for their efforts to make us successful in our studies and not to stop there. Thank you for helping us defend our point of view in controversial situations, for always being on our side and giving us confidence in our abilities. You have invested a lot of effort in us, may all the good done come back to you in the form of good health, energy and well-being.

Here the floor is unpainted and boarded, The floorboards creak drawn out, The logs in the heater crackle, Well, in a word, there is nothing to boast of… the cruel age will not reach,
Here is our parental threshold, The shadows of the dead roam quietly… From here as many as a hundred roads lead to the world of the present…
When I arrive here, Where I happened to be born, The bygone years rise, A string of memories…0002 Here on the birch under the window A mushroom with the name “chaga” has grown. .. I love this old house, Where the first three steps have been taken…
… whole world!
…The shutters are closed, the entrance is clogged… My relatives are in the churchyard… The old birch is grieving And waiting for the children back…to visit…

I saw my mother crying…
Now I am only a year old And I got a little sick… Mom walks around the room And asks God for something… I see mom crying… It’s so easy to offend her. I’ll be the healthiest, so that I don’t see her tears…
I’m ten… I got into a fight at school. A bruise… In the diary – not really… I frivolously quipped my mother, That I’m a boy, not a daughter… And I see my mother crying, Worrying again for her son… I will be the most worthy… I must grow up as a man…
I grew up and I’m fifteen … They are not allowed to walk again. And it’s time for me to fall in love, But my mother is harsh with me… I see how my mother is crying, Seeing my blog in the internet. .. I’ll be the most cultured, To not see these tears…
I’m twenty… I’m getting married guys! A bride with a tattoo… Well, mom, don’t prejudice… She’s already embarrassed too… I see my mother crying, Embracing her daughter-in-law like a daughter, And whispering: “Be the best, give birth to a son for him!”
I am forty… My wife and children, And hope is smoldering in my heart… And the sun shines so dimly, After all, my mother is sick… I cry and my mother whispers, Seeing a man’s tear: “I will be healthy myself, After all, you, son, I breathe… »

… And silence settled In the hut above the Kama steep. Mother is knitting something by the window. And the son teaches lessons.
And it’s been that way for many years, And there are no miracles in the world: The door won’t creak. And He, the long-awaited, third will not enter …
He promised to return from the front, He wrote to his kind wife: “I spent so much time in the smithy – I seem to have become iron!”
Up to now there are tales about the blacksmith’s grip. And the boy never saw his father.
Even if he were very strict, Wouldn’t spoil the surplus, But would only say: “How’s the lesson?”, Then: “Grow up, son!”.
But the boy also has happiness. The mother sighs furtively: – Look, you waved! Well, all in the father – And the article, and habit …
And he with a gang of children Runs from school to Kama And hears: Hammers are knocking. And in the forge the flame is choking!

“Inequality”
That’s the way people are, Whether you like it or not, But only parents love children A little more than the children of their parents.
For parents, it’s always, to be honest, It’s a shame and strange. And yet, and yet No need here, apparently, to be surprised And no need to be offended either.
After all, love is not a laurel under a curly, tabernacle, And the one who donates, acts, gives, feels sharper in life, In short: a giver, not a taker.
Loving their children without limit, Parents love not only them, But plus what was invested in them: Tenderness, cares, their own labors, Battles won with adversity, It’s even impossible to name everything!
And the children, having accepted their father’s work And becoming mustachioed “children”, They already take everything for granted And patronizingly call their Parents “old men” and “ancestors”.
When they are affectionately scolded, Recalling about the labor community, Children say to their parents: – No, comrades, sad tirades! Less complaints, more courage!
Yes, that’s the way people are, Whether you like it or not, But only parents love children A little more than the children of their parents.
And yet – do not reproach children. After all, they do not always twitter on the branches. Once upon a time, they will raise babies, Feel everything, survive And visit the “old men” and “ancestors”!

The poem “Parents”
Dear parents! Mother and father! Do not be angry that I write letters to you shorter and less often. It’s just that everything is getting heavier Fate’s unforgotten lead. And over the years of sadness More painful than before…
But even now I remember About the distant, dear and holy. And at night I see everything In clearly sharp pictures: According to my father’s stories – The village Zhigulinsky house, And in ancient Voronezh – The house of the famous Raevskys.
However, no. “Famous” is wrong, no. My mother’s distant ancestors were famous: In orders – a general, And in chains – a Decembrist and a poet, Who knew Prison cell-cells before others.
…And the Zhigulins come from somewhere near Yelets. There and now in the village – All the Zhigulins and the Zhigulis. And then – Boguchar And the father’s native village – Monastery. How much trouble in this word!..
And the meadows beyond Podgorny – My original life. And burning Voronezh – My original grief. Two mighty bloods Merged together in me, And I went through life In eternal spiritual discord…
Don’t be sad, dear ones! I will write more often And of course I will come. Deeds and worries I will reject. You have much more to tell me about yourself, so that I can tell my foolish son.

Verse about parents
Visit relatives more often, Those who are closest to you and dearest. Visit while you’re younger, But remember them when you’re old. Return to your homes Visit your aged mother. Feel free to send a telegram. Her life without you is a mess. Show your kindness, Not sparing the accumulated affection, Not afraid of shame or publicity, Filling the hearts with emptiness. Visit your relatives more often, Those who are closest to you all and dearest. Those that are waiting for you in the hallway, Among the lonely empty walls … Bogdan Khudaverd
***
Let’s say thank you to our parents today, After all, you gave a wonderful life, you taught us to live proudly, beautifully, We take off from your tenderness.
May fate be grateful for this, Good luck will give you at the right moment, May your star shine so radiantly, And your heart will receive a compliment of love!
***
Our dear ones, good ones! How can I thank you for everything? In our time, unthinkably complex, It is very difficult to raise children. So unbearable at times we were, We would like everything at once. You gave all your strength to the end to your daughters and sons. Dear you our parents! So who else will love us? For a long, long time in the world you live Wisely, happily and well!

Parents – the whole world from “A” to “Z”, What a pity that sometimes we do not appreciate you, On you, relatives, the family rests, We will kneel before you,
We ask for forgiveness from the bottom of our hearts For the burden of insults and unnecessarily long quarrels, Thank you, beloved ones, for life, To all fathers and mothers — Happy World Parents Day!

Being a parent is not an easy job. Nobody will ever pay you for your work. But the best reward will be. When your kids are older.
To instill in them kindness, respect, Diligence in work and zeal in teaching. Let old age appreciate the parental contribution, After all, your house will be rich only with children.

Children’s poems about parents – “Surprise”
What strange creatures My parents – always Give me oaths, promises, And fulfill – sometimes.
If you get, they say, five – Let’s go to the amusement park on Saturday, You’ll clean the apartment – Let’s go to the zoo on the way.
Well, I got it, and did the same, I tried, as if I were not me. And here is Saturday. So what? Where did the whole family go?
I got up early, but the house is quiet, Look into the bedroom – mom and dad are not there. And I believed … That’s famously, Not the one I snatched the ticket!
So that I still, so that I try – Well, they won’t wait from me! Washed, combed his hair quickly, Parents with might and main scolding.
As soon as I got out of the bathroom, So I slid down the wall quietly down – They stand, as if, dad and mom And joyfully shout: “Surprise!”
But somehow strangely dressed up – Was the circus invited to the house? Noses and caps are on. .. – Well, are you ready? Are we going to play?
I wanted to say to them very sternly: What would people say about the family? But for the sake of such a holiday, I, so be it, will suffer a little.
Waiting for a call They sit and look at the screen Bad news disturbs: An accident, an exploding sedan… Goosebumps appear on the skin.
All guesses are thrown away – Desperately do not want to believe them. Oh, if only my daughter called today! And there is no such measure in the world to measure
All the bitterness from the ignorance of two, Comforting each other awkwardly. Don’t forget your parents! For them, your call is insurance from trouble …

You, my parents, Like guardian angels Always cover with a wing, Peace of mind.
Both in joys and in sorrows you will pray for me. Give Your blessing without hesitation.
Thank you, beloved, Sincere, vulnerable, For the bottomless warmth And all the sleepless nights.
I congratulate you, dear, May God give you strength. I love you very much, thank you for everything.

Dearest parents in life. Always keep them God, And the angels are saviors.
“Thank you” for your life, for your love and kindness. Above us you were shaking, And read a fairy tale.
Good health to you, my family. I wish you with love, you are mom, dad are golden.
***
All the parents of the world are celebrating their holiday today. We wish them happiness, health And obedient cheerful children.
Let the family be strong and friendly, And parents – a strong wall. Children will be necessary for parents And I will be friendly with each other!

They say you don’t choose your parents, but I would choose mine. I can’t even imagine how I would live without the two of them.
And now, already big, I still love my Ancestors. I thank Mom and Dad for the warmth of the parental home.
Both will help and prompt — Their advice is very useful to me. I say “thank you” to mom and dad – to the closest people on earth!
***
I will say thank you today, My dear parents, For giving me life, Be healthy, dear ones.
A low bow to you for your care, For warmth, advice and strength, For rewarding me with your tenderness in abundance.
Live happily ever after, Give wisdom and kindness, May your life be beautiful, Let hearts give only warmth.
***
My parents! I love you, Although sometimes difficult things happen. I adore my whole family And in joy I go to pray for you.
Love, health and long life to you, And let nothing disturb you much. There are no people dearer to anyone, May the Almighty help you in life.
Hold on to each other through the years, Giving only sweet moments. And never allow quarrels, Let there be only inspiration in the souls.

I want the years not to leave a sad trace on your faces, so that you don’t grow old and count the years flying swiftly.
To have the same cheerful mother, To always have a father next to my mother, You have been pulling the strap all your life for us, You are a pair of good golden hearts!
I look at the gray hair and understand that I am to blame for every gray hair, I often did not listen to you, running away, Not knowing that family is the most valuable thing.
I was returning late, not letting my parents sleep peacefully, And I thought that such carelessness is a gift to us from God, young people.
But it’s the parent himself and the child I’m restlessly taking to school, After all, the city is fussy and the race is eternal, And I’m watching everything carefully.
I have become what you once were, Now I become restless for no reason, Now I make extra efforts Where a child can cope alone.
And now I understand you better, My wonderful parents, And I congratulate you on this world day, Though your holiday is all our lives.
I am grateful to you for science, And for the carelessness of childhood without end. And I tenderly kiss my mother’s hand, And carefully hug my father!
***
It’s a miracle that you exist, Both mommy and daddy. I can’t count the warm words And I’m extremely happy.
World Parents’ Day We are celebrating today, I wish you long years, To live without troubles, excellently.
Let any failures bypass you. Bow to you low and earthly. It cannot be otherwise.
***
Parents, you are always responsible For your children, Stars or the sun shines, But they are your light and darkness.
May you have enough patience, May there be strength for everything, And a little more luck, So that everything will be fine.
And love is the most important thing, May it not disappear, no, May children’s funny smiles Warm your heart for many years.

I’m not afraid of loud words, Parents are my shrine! For you, dear, I pray, Without you, my world would be deserted!
I thank you for everything: For the light in my soul and for all the goodness, For the fact that in the darkest hour you gave me only joy!
For all the good, for all the efforts, I thank you! And for the hundredth time, without hesitation, I will say that I love you very much!
***
Mom, dad, dears, Accept congratulations, Parents’ Day today, Come on, turn your cheeks!
Kiss you loved ones From the heart and soul, I will always be happy, Our friendly family!

You gave us life And gave your heart, You taught to be fair And they forgave us everything.
Relatives, God bless you, Promises you good health, Saves you from all worries, Warms you with his love.
We are forever indebted to you And we are very grateful to you. But it is impossible to convey in words how dear you are to us.
***
My dear, my golden ones, I congratulate you on your parents in the afternoon, Even if the relationship is sometimes difficult, But you are the best – I will say without embellishment,
Always encourage your own child, Give much needed and valuable advice And there is nothing more important to me than to know that you are happy! My hello to you!
***
Quite recently we were small, And you carried us in your arms, Oh, how you want all the children to idolize you for this.
For this, for the attention, for the nights that didn’t get enough sleep, And how you wanted to prophesy us, So that when we grow up, we become good people.
Today, with tears in my eyes, I thank you, because there is no one dearer than you in the world, You endured all the experiences in the years, Now we must make you happier than everyone else in the world.
***
The first summer day of the calendar Calls everyone to goodness and conscience. We were born not in vain And we congratulate our relatives today!
Dear parents, now All words are ringing for you in the world. And now, more than ever, your grandchildren are close to you, and your children!
May you be healthy forever And live in a world without diseases. So that your strong hand will be with us for a long, long time!
***
Favorite parents: mom and dad! I remember how you loved, how you helped to live. Was a little silly and a little slob, But that didn’t stop you from loving sincerely!
Thank you for your care, for the ideal family, For all the love and tenderness that I received at home! Your wise advice helped me a lot. After all, now I am familiar with the complexities of life…
You have done so much for little me, That I don’t even know how to thank you! Perhaps I’ll just, keeping everything in my memory, love you with selfless affection every day.
***
Noise and bustle everywhere, The crowd hums joyfully – A man was born in the family, He settled in our house.
We need to educate him, get him on his feet as soon as possible. Being a parent is a reward, You just have to try!
Children don’t need toys, It’s better to be together by the rivulet Fry kebabs together, Catch fish in the pond.
***
The value of the family is all the covenants from God, We must keep the warm hearth, Our love must not be trampled or touched, Further on with support through life so swim.
Today we celebrate the holiday in a circle, We sit together at the laid table, We despise troubles, hardships here, We live only by hope and faith!
***
With parental affection, we grow, surrounded, Blessed by parental word. How much parents mean to us And in joy with us and in a sad hour.
We congratulate you. Today is your holiday. Yesterday’s child has risen as an adult – a prankster. We are growing up. We are leaving, but the path of life We cannot pass without your support.
We wish you good health, Such that the angels clapped while standing. Nights without anxiety and sunny days And so that the soul becomes brighter.
***
Beloved parents, Irreplaceable by anyone, Thank you for putting up with all the antics of children, Forgive and love, Do not judge a bit. You are the ideal of all acting fathers and mothers. May God grant you good health And good sight to you, To be able to foresee troubles, stop us. As long as we have you nearby, Children live simply class And I want to go with the flow with my family.
***
Parents are not more important, They should be read And I want to read these lines to them Today.
For tenderness and care, Immeasurable love, For eternal anxiety — Thank you again and again.
Through life you walk with me as a talisman, I won’t hide my love from you And I remember all the precepts.
I wish you good health And long, long years, I kiss you, I hug you, I don’t care more than you.
***
If you have a child, So, they will call you a parent, It is difficult with children even from the cradle, This is not easy, but righteous work.
Nanny children, love, nurture, From childhood, teach to work, loving, Beat, insult, humiliate – do not dare, This is your own child!
Be patient and gentle with children, There is never a lot of love at all, And upbringing will be successful, There will be fewer various problems.

Poems — “Love for parents”
Love for parents is not torn to shreds, It cannot be said that you love your mother more. To both of them, I’m still a daughter. Let sometimes not be able to understand them.
Parents, like life, are not chosen, They are all given to us by fate. Thanks to them for bringing up, For the fact that the heart is next to me.
Parents are like wings behind their backs, Not for flying… to walk on the Earth, He is happy who has two wings, Wouldn’t get lost somewhere along the way.
Let’s become wings for our children, Let’s pray for happiness in silence… Parents will not get tired of loving us With prayer they fall asleep for me.
Love is not torn to shreds for parents, I need them both like air. I ask the Lord every night To live side by side longer, on Earth.
***
A small ball in mother’s arms, Warm, defenseless and so dear, And in the soul everything sings, as if on a holiday in a church: “This is my dearest child!”.
Here father and son are slowly walking together, They are watching something, the conversation is flowing, About spruce cones, about sausages in dough, How to find a treasure, how to light a fire.
Time flies, children grow up, Leave the nest, create their own. But for moms and dads, there is no one in the world. There are no relatives, more beloved than their children.
***
Life is running day after day, We live in continuous extreme sports, A recession is possible, there is a rise, And again a sharp turn.
Sometimes it’s a little dreary, And cats scratch at the soul, Sometimes the binding is sharp. Well, who will support, who will understand?
Who do we need to remember quickly? For them, any of us is a joy! Save, warm and forward – In the family, in a career and take off!
So let’s take pity on their hearts, Wrinkles of mother, sit of father, Let the holiday come to them, And only joy in life awaits!
***
The sun is hidden in your heart, Dear tender mother. You live in the world for the sake of children And you are not tired of worries. Our parents gave us life, Happiness, goodness taught. So that the cherished thread is not interrupted, They gave the Light of the soul!
Alexandra Mosunova
***
I will put you first in life, I have only one support, Dear parents, happy holiday, I congratulate you, dear friends!
On your world holiday I wish you happiness, health, good luck and all kinds of blessings, I love you, I respect you. I am yours forever!

Poem – “Thank you mom and dad”
For moms and dads, which is the best in the world, For those who love us with all their hearts, Children say their “thank you”: Solid, teenagers, kids . They are, alas! – they grow up so fast, They lose a thin thread with you, And they leave far from home, And they promise to call every day … And so summer flies after summer. You look forward to meeting them again and again. Thank you, parents, for this: For kindness, patience, love. May a good angel not leave you, A quiet light always shines in your soul, May children come to you more often Giving care and love in return.
***
Forgive me, Mom, Dad, if I upset you! Not quite obedient, as you would like to be, A little somewhere harmful showed And not enough to give you her reciprocal warmth. I know you’re not mad at me! For pranks and harmfulness you have long forgiven, And in spite of my childish whim Always still loved. Thank you parents for tenderness, For kindness, patience, love It’s so nice to see in the mirror, Mom’s character, dad’s nose and eyebrow. I am glad that I can return Home, where I feel loved, And many thanks to you parents For the fact that your daughter was born happy!
*** A verse – gratitude to parents
Parents are not just a word, This is love, ready for anything, This is a vocation for life, These are those whom we cherish. Parents are those who raised us, Who sometimes endured our whims, Who were ready to understand and forgive, Who did not let us be sad for no reason. Parents taught us everything, They were faithful to their duty. They helped more than once or twice, Always choosing the right words. Parents are those who have always been there, Who shared joy and sorrow with us, Who was our support, support always, Who will never leave us anywhere. Parents are those whose work is invaluable, Their contribution to our life is important, although invisible, We will keep our parents in our hearts And sincerely thank you every day!
***
Every parent knows – There is nothing more expensive for a child. In life, his most important – It’s no secret!
I wish you a long life, In response, I can promise, Love and be a support, Protect and help!
Thank you for living, For bringing up. I love you very much, I want you to know it!
***
Bow to you, who gave us life, Who gave us a bright chance to see the world, Who taught us goodness and truth, Our bow, parents, for you!
On this day of parents we are in a hurry We congratulate you, such relatives, We sincerely thank you, We honor you, kind, glorious, golden ones!
***
Our glorious parents, We congratulate you on the holiday. How many difficulties have you seen Nurturing your pranksters.
We love and respect you, And yet – in debt unpaid. Be always youthful, Be healthy and happy.
***
The closest people in the world. Who is mom and dad’s relatives? They will answer all our questions, Help to find true friends.
Today I congratulate all parents on their World Joyful Day. I wish you goodness, understanding and peace, so that their joy would be in full swing.
Thank you moms and dads for giving us life. May God protect you from heaven, From grief, problems and insults.
***
You call…
Do not forget relatives and friends, In that bustle, in that way of life And do not spare very simple words: Mom, how are you? And how is dad’s health…
Parents’ only thoughts are about you: How is it at work, how are grandchildren at school? Behind them, now you need an eye and an eye, They grow and will mature soon.
Do not forget to visit your loved ones, For them, to see you is a great holiday! Try to stay at least a couple of days, After all, an adult son, until old age, is a boy to them.
Stop and call now, Parents, they miss you… Extend their life, say at least a couple of phrases, One call… helps to live on…
You call…

Being parents is not easy role. This is great happiness, and sometimes pain. From infancy to give love and tenderness. Create comfort and childhood serenity.
Today is World Parents’ Day We will stand at peace in front of mom and dad And express great gratitude. For their support, help, solidarity.
***
I remember my serene childhood And eyes of heavenly purity, Gentle hands of my mother, Father’s voice and his features. You have done so much for me in my life, so that I can become a man. Our feelings have been tested by time, And I want to say “thank you” for everything.
***
Inability to lie and a stubborn character, And the ability to hear the whisper of hearts, And the habit of reading novels at night – Your genes boil in me, father!
Blue eyes and a dreamy look, The role of the family is exclusively of the first plan, Nothing is needed except for the happiness of children… You know? That in me is from you, mother!
I want to learn how to cheat… old age. So that you suddenly become invisible to her. I love you madly! I want my future grandchildren of your light to get it!

Poems: “For parents”
I have no more happiness. When my mom and dad are by my side. They are my support and wall. And life is the main reward.
They always rush to help me. After all, because they love their daughter very much. All problems will be taken away by hand. Pressed to the chest and gently snuggle.
I am grateful to them for constantly pulling this burden, And if grief or misfortune suddenly happens. I will never leave you family.
I love you too. And God forbid you stay in this world for a long time. So that you have enough strength to continue to live And smile at each other every day.

Son, how are you? How are you? -Fine. Mom, I’m sorry – it’s time.
-Son, I’m sorry, I’m calling again – I’ve wanted to see you for a long time.
– Mommy, I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry. I’ll be free and call back.
– I didn’t wait – I called myself. Tell me, how are you? – Yes, everything is fine, here again It’s time for me to run away. -But I just wanted to say… -Mammy, we’ll have time to chat.
Mom called many times, After all, every hour was important to her, But her son was busy and she could not say that she loved.
Mom called every day, But the son didn’t want to listen. And let the case, and let it be busy, To say that there is sadness in the heart.
And the days went by, she was alone. To see your son is a dream – To press your sluggish cheek And whisper: “My beloved.”
– Mom, hello. Well, how are you? Why are you calling me at night? – Son, I was at the doctors. I have 10 days left to live. – I’ll come tomorrow! You do not believe – Mistakes at doctors now. Medicines, the best doctors – Everything will be, mom! You just wait!
But suddenly a dumb shadow beeps – Today was the last day . ..
***
It’s not true that feelings weaken When old age sets in. Love, as the highest art, An example of my parents is. Thank you for showing concern And helping me not to go astray, And, when necessary, instructing me in childhood And protecting me from bad temptations.
***
Today I would like to say thank you to all the mothers and fathers of the planet, you gave us this life, and we are always responsible for you.
Thank you for the opportunities and chances, Thank you for the gift of childhood, Thank you for your health and talents, You are our healing agent!

“Old Men”
Have you seen old men cry? Silently, without anguish and tantrums A tear will slip in the grooves of the cheek, And in the faded eyes the desire to BELIEVE,
That we are interested in their life, And where it hurts, and what you dreamed at night And you hear how their heart trembles, And how warm it is simple wants
Did you see them waiting for a call, a regular phone call? How dry fingers tremble, Not noticing the familiar buttons
What a happiness to finally hear Their quiet, kind and earthly voice. What a blessing to know that somewhere there is your very, very dear person.
May old people never cry. Let their voice be on the phone. We are children, as long as there is someone to call, As long as we love them, as long as we remember.
Moreva Olga

Parents are nearby, And it doesn’t matter, And we are very happy! With parents in the afternoon!

The hardest work in the world is Being a parent of children, They cry endlessly, Growing up is even harder.
We congratulate you today, And we wish that your children bring a lot of happiness and love on the way,
So that they appreciate, respect, Say a lot of words, Those that hurt you for the soul – Not from pain, warmth.
For everything to come true for them, Luck was waiting around the corner, And you admired success And were proud day by day!
So that the children are near, Visit every day, Fate so that your work is appreciated And light blocks the shadow,
Only bright moments Filled your whole life, Success, joy, luck, The love of children is your main prize!
***
They gave us life, Without them we can’t see the world! They love and loved us, “They” are father and mother!
Appreciate your parents, Never upset, And love more every day, Paint your life in bright colors!
So that they smile forever, Give joy again and again, Their happiness will be endless, If you have love in your hearts!
***
Our glorious parents, We congratulate you on the holiday. How many difficulties have you seen Nurturing your pranksters.
We love and respect you, And yet – in debt unpaid. Be always youthful, Be healthy and happy.

We will not abandon our parents In their golden years, And we will ask for forgiveness That they behaved wrong.
We will not untie our ties, We remember our own blood, And we will say thank you together For care and love.
To these closest people We will keep our tenderness: To our fathers, to our mothers We will call today.
***
My beloved parents, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, You were always by my side, You gave me your love in full.
I want you to live for many years, To not visit your illness at all, After all, there are no people dearer to me And your house is my quiet pier.
I congratulate you on the holiday now, Let flowers bloom in the souls, Let it bring joy every hour And all dreams come true!
***
Don’t forget the old people. Do not humiliate with the expectation of your visits and calls from the “on duty”, rare, late.
Call old people more often, (After all, they are all big children) For trifles, for trifles … You are everything that they have in the world.
So it was from time immemorial: To honor the old people is a family reward. Love your old people – They don’t need anything more from you…
***
Good verse for parents
People, the most important people in the world, we kiss you many times! Your little children love you very, very much! From you, worthy and beautiful, We are ready to take an example: Son – like dad, will be strong, Daughter – mistress, like mother. We will work ourselves And achieve success, And at the same time never forget dad and mom!

Being parents is difficult, Restless, hard, But also fun, not boring, Children – our souls are warm.

Two of the most dear, dear people, Two words of love until the end of time. Mommy! Daddy! And in joy, and in a quarrel, You are next to me, there is no better support.
Health to you, peace, less worries, So that in family life – major notes. Only happiness played on the flute of the soul, And joy was an integral part.

Father and mother, what is the reward for all that you have done? How to measure, how to count, How much love has been given? You brought up, you protected From evil, troubles and insults. You always did your best, How can I thank you? You showed me a good example of honesty and kindness. Everywhere and everywhere, then and now I remember native features. You have given me so much warmth That you can warm the whole world. Your care and tenderness was Only stronger with the passage of years. Neither moms nor dads have days off, there are no holidays, vacations. You can always disturb your relatives, And you will not hear evil words. I will always be grateful to you, dear, to bring. Mom and Dad, I love you so much, God bless you always.

These are words of gratitude to parents in prose can be presented, and it is not necessary to wait for some holiday … Just pay attention and say thank you for everything …
Words of gratitude to parents at the wedding from the bride and groom, spoken in their own words spoken by the bride and groom, in no case should be standard and stereotyped. The speech of the young, delivered in their own words, will be truly unforgettable. How to choose the right words? Imagine that there is no one in the hall except you. Just be yourself and thank the people closest to you. Your sincerity will certainly be appreciated.
*** Lost in the eternal bustle, we say so many words, and so rarely talk about important things! On the wedding day, when all matters are postponed until later, and thoughts are devoted only to the family, you realize the importance and strength of these family ties. Dear mom and dad, we hope that we will be as happy as you are and be able to live a decent life, make you happy with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, save you from problems and worries, and protect you the way you protected us in childhood. Thank you for making this day possible, because if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here! *** They say that parents and children are not chosen, we were prepared for each other from above. Know that we are infinitely glad that you are our parents, it is impossible to appreciate the work that you have invested in us. Your support in difficult times, instructions and teachings have made us who we are today. Let us not always understand each other, we used to quarrel, but we always knew that from these omissions you will not stop loving us less. Thank you for everything and kudos! *** Dear Mom and Dad! Without you, our paths would never have crossed. You led us along the path of life, were always there, surrounded us with care and love, gave us warmth and affection.

Alum: Newcomb is a safe school with great teachers and a cool new campus. I went there since kindergarten all the way to eighth grade and I grew academically. The school had a low population which makes it great to learn. However, since it is a small learning community, I did not grow socially because I grew up with everyone. This made the transition to high school somewhat of a struggle. Newcomb is a super safe and excellent school for anyone to go to…. Read 1 review

Alum: When I was attending Jefferson Leadership Academies back in 2006-2008, I truly enjoyed my middle school days. Back then all the boys and girls were separated when it came to classes such as English, History, Math, etc. The only time boys and girls were co-ed was during electives such as band, orchestra, avid. I loved the way how the academic learning process because separating boys and girls in a class room helped me become a better student where I was able to focus on my studies and education without the distractions that I could be facing if boys were in my class. During that time, becoming a teenager the lack of attention was definitely not set on studies but attending Jefferson Leadership Academies, it has helped me set my priorities and truly focused myself through my studies….

Sophomore: The first day day their was very confusing you had to go to the bottom floor just to return to the top floor. The teachers were very kind and assertive about their teaching but it was making friends or talking to anyone but as the year went along I got better at communication and making friends but their were people that would only talk to me just to have more friends. But the best thing that did happen was when my parents enrolled me into wrap that’s where I met a lot of my friends that had the same interest as me. As the final year was approaching the ability to mature was more prominent as people who didn’t like me began to tolerate me and became some of my good friends. I will never forget what I learned their with the amazing teachers that let me stay in there classrooms at lunch and the people that I met. It got me launched at thinking about college and helped me have a starting point I met a couple of different people but not being able to talk to everyone…. Read 2 reviews

Senior: Avalon K-12 is a great school overall, but like many other schools it is not perfect. The location is a great aspect but also impacts the school in a negative way. It’s a great location in a sense that everyone gets to know each other on a personal level and students get the one on one support. It’s also bad because teachers commute to the Island therefore not many teachers want to come out here. Because of the lack of teachers there is not many classes offered just the bare minimum. We the students don’t have the same opportunities as students from the mainland because we don’t have the same classes offered so in college most of Avalon’s students are behind in some subjects….

We pick each other up instead of watching one other walk with there head down. My favorite experience was at freshman orientation when we had a link crew filled with upper classmen who made us feel at home , they had on these bright green shirts that way we made sure we knew who to go to when we needed to express ourselves or even to burn off some of that nervous energy, and I have the honor of being one of those helpful and needy upper classmen this year and can”t wait to help the new comers. ..

Middle School Student: The administration, teachers, food, and diversity are overall pretty good. While it is trying to incorporate arts into the school, it’s obviously more of a math and science focused school. While the school is overall great, the students are a different story. The students are quite nosy, rude, and have driven off some teachers. They are prone to verbal and social bullying and often try to start fights. They argue, are rude and while be overall not great. However that’s only about 40-50% of the student population. There certainly are amazing students who work hard and are very very nice. There are many students you could count on to be nice and polite. While people do not tend to tell other rude students to stop, they clearly don’t agree with bullies or bullying…. Read 1 review

Alum: Guess I’m the 1st review! I promoted from Lindsey a few years ago and I loved my time there and honestly, I miss it. This school unfortunately is underfunded and is not able to provide students the same resources, opportunities, and electives that other schools in the district are able to offer. This does affect the students. However, the teachers and faculty deeply care about the students and do their very best to teach the students and help them personally as well. I love every teacher that I have had there. You can talk to them about anything and they are willing to listen and help you if you need it. They are willing to take the time to help you understand what you are struggling with, and I still learned a lot despite the difficulties and flaws the school faces. Lindsey is very underrated, and could use some help, but it is definitely full of love and support. I’m now a senior and go to a school in an area with much more resources, but I still miss Lindsey middle school very much… Read 1 review

Freshman: Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies is an extremely resourceful and student-friendly school. The system is set up to allow for the highest success rate for students. All A-G requirements for all colleges are met as standard classes at LACES. The school has an extremely kind and caring mental health expert who listens to students’ issues on a daily basis. She has helped students deal with their problems. Furthermore, each grade level is assigned a counselor who regularly meets with the students to discuss their well-thought-out plan for college. I have personally found the school to be extremely helpful for students of all types. Additionally, the teachers are outstanding.

Parent: Our child has been at Larchmont since kinder and has thrived. He went to the elementary Fairfax campus, a smaller campus with spacious classrooms, and he has loved the bigger Selma campus too. The leadership works hard to create an accessible and friendly atmosphere for the students and parents so there is a strong sense of community. The admin is collaborative and value parent input. The teachers are nurturing and attentive and know when to give students more help or more of a challenge. There are many enrichment classes (art, music, gardening, sports teams, band), a social-emotional curriculum and clubs. Most kids eat the (optional) lunch prepared in the Fairfax kitchen and is SO good. At Selma, our child has delved deeper into academics and developed new interests like government and digital media in clubs. We have seen his intellectual curiosity and independence grow and we look forward to the La Fayette Campus!… Read 90 reviews

Starting off, the school starts from kindergarten and follows up to twelfth grade. I’ve attended this school since middle school, and now graduating from here next year. Lake Balboa has provided me with great opportunities. They offer college courses, Ap classes, clubs, and sports! Sure it’s a small school, therefore everyone knows each other which I love because it makes us feel like family. The community itself is welcoming and the staff is friendly. Teachers definitely care about their students and are in communication with their parents. Overall, some may argue that this school doesn’t offer much, but I disagree as I feel like this school has prepared me well enough to move on to the next chapter of my life which is college….

Middle School Student: Marshall Academy of the Arts is a very great school for someone who likes art, as most middle schools would have 1 elective this wonderful school has 2 which is one of the reason I applied. The people in the school have great club to help out students who are lonely or needs help with schoolwork. Marshall allows you to have a voice as they say because there is many clubs that have interests that many who are “artsy” and who likes leadership. … Read 1 review

Alum: Lots of project-based learning, and the teachers are always so friendly and helpful. Since it is a hybrid-homeschool school, parents are expected to homeschool their child on asynchronous days, and you have to learn to manage your assignments and time wisely on your own as you enter the higher grades. We used to have a much stronger school culture, but now that the school had expanded so much since the start, most of the school spirit has been lost. For the most part, students there are friendly, and there are pretty much no physical fights that take place at school. I feel like Da Vinci has gave me a good start by helping me build my collaboration skills, and made me learn and adapt to being able to do and manage schoolwork and assignments at my own will….

Parent: Our family is thrilled to be part of CWC-Silverlake community! We appreciate the attention given to the unique needs, experiences and qualities of each student. This provides an environment rich in motivation, kindness and learning. This school is probably the best fit for families looking for a diverse and friendly environment that uses social and emotional growth as more than just a component of academic development, but as its own valuable part of a strong education. We have found the teachers, parents and administrative staff to all be very caring and we like that environment is fairly relaxed though intentional. We have definitely observed academic progress for our child, but we are most delighted that her developing reading and math skills are accompanied by a growing confidence in who she is and a respect for the other students who come from a wide variety of economic and racial backgrounds….

Senior: Pacific Coast is an independent study high school. Most of the classes are taken online, but some of the classes are either on-campus or hybrid. PCHS offers a huge amount of flexibility—not being tied to campus all day, every day means that students are provided time to develop interests, whether it be for recreation or academia.
PCHS also has great people. Unique students, attracted by PCHS’ flexibility, bring diversity. The student body includes athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs. In addition to the student population, the school has great faculty. Overall, the teachers genuinely care for their students. They always, always make themselves available via email, phone, or campus visits when students are in need of help.
Since PCHS is primarily online-based, the school’s campus space is very limited. There is a lack of extracurricular classes, activities, and clubs, and it would be nice to see more effort to increase the options for students. … Read 16 reviews

Works Here: San Carlos School is an amazing TK – 8th grade community of engaged students, supportive families, dedicated teachers, and hard-working staff! As a former parent, 1st grade aide, and current staff member, I highly value the school’s commitment to educating the whole child by integrating spiritual and moral development with high academic standards. The faculty and staff are incredibly supportive, constantly striving to create better experiences for students and families. In addition, our focus on local and global community service is a very important aspect of SCS. Our school community is also anxiously awaiting the completion of the new “Dove Gymnasium and Event Center”, a state-of-the-art facility for PE classes, team sports, school events, and performances. Such a blessing for San Carlos School!… Read 8 reviews

Overview
Having a Mediterranean Revival Style character, the Franklin Middle School #1 had an unreinforced brick structure with a hipped roof covered in Spanish tile. The front entry was gained through three arches, and several arched windows on either side of the front door graced the first floor fenestration. Most windows on the front facade were tradeated and of the casement type.
Franklin Middle School became famous for its destruction in the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake. Pictures of it before and after became symbolic of the temblor’s impact on buildings in Long Beach.
Demolition
On Friday, March 10, 1933, at 5:55 p.m., well after school had been dismissed for the day, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake centered on the Newport-Inglewood Fault struck Southern California.Benjamin Franklin Middle School, a load-bearing masonry school building, was completely leveled by the shaking, requiring its demolition. One hundred twenty people were killed as a result of the Long Beach Earthquake, most hit by falling debris, including 52 in Long Beach and 17 in Compton. Had it struck a few hours earlier, while schools were in session, the death toll would have skyrocketed. Damage to schools thoughout the region was stunning. According to one source, “Schools throughout the southern Los Angeles area suffered catastrophic damage, with an estimated 75% or higher enduring severe damage (Jephcott, 1986). According to the California Office of the State Architect, 300 schools experienced minor damage, 120 major damage, and 70 schools were destroyed entirely.” (See Daniel Barclay, “The Field Act History and Issues for California Schools,” written 09/17/2002, accessed 02/18/2016.)According to the National Institute for Earthquake Engineering, “The school buildings damaged or destroyed were of an ‘irregular shape,’ built of brick and not designed to resist any lateral stress. As well, part of the failure of the brick buildings was due to shoddy workmanship and inferior mortar. Several of the failed school buildings were designed with elaborate entrance towers that collapsed in a hail of bricks and architectural ornamentation. Reinforced concrete school buildings survived the quake with no structural damage. ” (See Susan Fatemi and Charles James, “The Long Beach Earthquake of 1933,” National Information Service for Earthquake Engineering, accessed 02/18/2016.)
Shortly after the quake struck, architect Louis J. Gill,President of the California State Board of Architectural Examiners,traveled to Long Beach to study the damage. He recommended that architects be barred from using unreinforced, load-bearing masonry for public schools, and that they be required to plan for seismic shocks in their structural calculations. Gill’s advice became implemented in new public school structural codes requiring resistance to base shear forces; after 1933, school buildings in CA needed to resist lateral seismic forces equivalent to at least 3% of the building’s total mass.
Responding quickly to advice from experts like Gill, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 2342, the “Field Act,” named for Sacramento State Assemblyman Charles Field, Chairman of the Assembly’s State Grounds and Parks Committee. Introduced on March 23, Field’s bill moved through committees with great urgency, passing the state house and senate on 04/05/1933, and culminating with Governor James Rolph (1869-1934) signing it on 04/10/1933. According to state records, AB 2342 was “An act relating to the safety of design and construction of public school buildings, providing for regualtion, inspection and supervision of the construction, reconstruction or alteration of or addition to public school buildings, and for the inspection of existing school buildings, defining the powers and duties of the State Division of Architecture in respect thereto, providing for the collection and distribution of fees, prescribing penalties for violation thereof and declaring the urgency to act, to take effect immediately.” (See California Assemby History, [Sacramento: State Printing Office, 1933], p. 643.)Specifically, the Field Act was the first state-wide seismic building legislation passed in CA.

History
LBUSD transfers stating that parents can enroll their children in the school closest to their day care provider, even if the school is in a different school district, to receive an inter-district transfer from Los Alamitos County and send their children to Los Alamitos schools . As a result, LBUSD was losing money because state education funds were paid based on attendance. Horne said, “No one ever intended to turn the (child care) program into a drawing card from other school districts. And so it was.” [2] Gordon Dillow of Los Angeles Times said: “While school officials say they do not track the racial composition of their interdistrict students who are transferred from one district to another, it is believed that many, perhaps most, of those who translate from Long Beach to Los Alamitos are English speakers. ” [2] Whites were a minority in LBUSD, with 26% of students, while they were a majority in Los Alamitos USD, with 75% of students. In 1992–19In school year 93, 400 students living in LBUSD attended Los Alamitos schools because a parent worked at Los Alamitos schools or because of an extracurricular program. Dillow said that while losing so many students from the LBUSD, with 76,000 students, “may seem insignificant, it does result in the school district losing about $4,000 a year per student from public education funding.” [2] LBUSD started exploring the idea of having pre and after school programs in their schools so parents can no longer exploit the loophole. [2] LBUSD has established a new extra-curricular program “Kids Club”. 140 were enrolled in August 1993, and the district expected a total of 300 to be enrolled by the start of the school year. [3]
On January 18, 1994, the LBUSD Board of Education voted to require school uniforms in all elementary and secondary schools, effective September 1994 wearing school uniforms. [4] The district was the first major urban school district in the United States to require school uniforms. [5] On August 23, 1994, school uniform law SB 1269 was approved by the Governor of California to support schools that adopt a school uniform policy that also allows parents to opt out of the policy. [6] In LBUSD, approximately 2% of students reject the uniform policy. [5]
Since the introduction of the unified policy, the LBUSD has claimed that assaults have dropped by two-thirds, suspensions by nearly a third, vandalism has gone down, attendance has improved, and test scores have increased. President Bill Clinton mentioned a unified LBUSD policy in his 19th96 State address of the Union. Many other major urban districts have already adopted school uniform policies. [5]
Some researchers, including David Brunsma of the Department of Sociology at the University of Missouri, said that the benefits attributed to implementing the LBUSD uniform policy were logically related to other factors; such as increased school security, mandatory attendance measures, and classroom programs designed to increase test-reporting. [7]
LBUSD now has two high schools, Wilson Classical High School, and Milliken High School, which also require uniforms. [8]
In 1999, Jefferson Leadership Academy became the first public high school in the United States to completely refocus on male and female classes. Only a few dozen schools have followed this trend, largely due to Title IX of the Education Act of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded programs. [9] The school plans to withdraw from the program due to scheduling conflicts and poor test scores. [10]
In 2001, there was a movement to create the Lakewood Unified School District. Because students in Lakewood are currently divided among four different school districts (ABC Unified School District, Bellflower Unified School District, Paramount Unified School District, and LBUSD) a petition has been launched. After collecting the required number of signatures on the petition and checking in Los Angeles County, the issue was considered. California Department of Education. The board denied the petition on February 8, 2001, because it stated that the proposed district did not meet four of the state’s nine criteria for forming a new district. Following this failure, the most recent plans (as of 2005) are to attempt to merge these Paramount-served areas of Lakewood into Bellflower or Long Beach Unified School Districts. [11]
District Awards
LBUSD won the third annual $1 million competition. Broad Award for Urban Education in 2017. The Broad Award is the nation’s largest educational award given to urban school districts. [12] In 2004, LBUSD received a second $1.14 million grant from the Broad Foundation to continue its efforts to improve the organization of the district’s schools using the Baldridge Strategy. [13] In 2004, the Broad Foundation also awarded 55 Long Beach Unified School District high school students $500,000 in scholarships as Broad Prize Scholars. [14] LBUSD received nominations for the award three more times and once before winning (2002, 2006, 2007, 2008).

History
In 1993, several parents within the LBUSD boundaries enrolled their children in the Los Alamitos Unified School District’s day care program so they could then use the LBUSD district transfer rules, stating that parents could enroll their children in the school, closest to their child care facility, even if the school is in a different school district, to receive an inter-district transfer from Los Alamitos County and send their children to Los Alamitos Schools. As a result, LBUSD was losing money because state education funds were paid based on attendance.

LBUSD has established a new after-school program called the Kids Club. 140 people were enrolled on August 1993 years old and the district expected a total of 300 to be enrolled by the start of the school year.
On January 18, 1994, the LBUSD Board of Education voted to introduce school uniforms in all primary and secondary schools, with school uniforms to be worn in September 1994.

Here, in SuperKids Word-of-the-Day for 9th Grade, they have created a deceptively elegant app for the iPhone that can be used for a few minutes at a time while on the go, or in extended sessions to master 365 important words.
This app provides a coordinated drill and game pair that makes expanding your vocabulary easy and fun. Students use interactive flash cards to learn and review, and then practice their knowledge in a game of hangman. These elements activate different learning centers in the brain, and utilize active study and immersive recall techniques to improve memory acquisition and retention.
Special features include: – definitions, synonyms, and a usage example for each word – bi-directional learning: words to definitions, definitions to words – learn in monthly sets – automatic missed word tracking and review – high score tracking for each player – email report card and study review – game position and status memory
Words included in this app are based on the vocabulary set honed by millions of users of SuperKids.com’s online vocabulary tools over the last ten years.

Effective vocabulary builder
My daughter’s Honors English teacher recommended this app to her class last week as a way to build vocabulary for the PSAT/SAT Critical Reading test sections. She’s been playing it before bed since then, and tonight, she challenged me to beat her high score for last month’s words. I’m embarassed to admit, it wasn’t close. Arrgghh.
These are words I *know*, but couldn’t retrieve from memory quickly enough when presented with their definitions and synonyms as clues in a series of hangman games. Words like placate, savory, termerity, and animosity. But they are now words my daughter really knows.
Growing Word Power Every Day!
I’ve been using this with my daughter for several days. She’s learned many new words, and I’ve picked up some as well. I think she does better in “flash card” mode, but the hangman variation is a good mental test.
I recommend it. You never know which of these words will be on the SAT test. Give it a shot!
Fun way to learn new words
My brother and I play this game (and the 10th grade one) in the car on the way to school. I like it, because it makes it fun to learn new words without having to study them.

Oral interview in the Russian language at the OGE in grade 9: how the final interview goes
Timing and format of the final interview
The final interview is held on the second Wednesday of February. Additional dates for the final interview are the second working Wednesday of March and the first working Monday of May.
The entire interview takes approximately 15 minutes. The examiner will be a teacher in any subject who does not teach in the class of the student being tested.
The exam consists of several parts. You come, get acquainted with the examiner and proceed to the tasks. If the structure is familiar and studied in advance, there will be no difficulties.
Let’s figure out what the final oral interview for ninth graders is like.
Russian language interview structure at 9class
The interview is an integral part of the OGE in the Russian language. To be admitted to the exam in May-June, you must pass an oral interview.
The purpose of this part of the exam is to test the ability of a ninth-grader to create monologues on various topics, take part in a dialogue, expressively read the text aloud, retell the text with additional information.
Interview in Russian consists of four parts:
reading the text aloud,
detailed retelling of the read text including the given statement,
monologue,
dialogue with the examiner.
<>
Final interview topics
On the website of the Federal Institute for Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI) you can find demo options, assessment criteria and specification of the final interview for the 9th grade of the current academic year.
Sample topics that will be on the exam can be found in the demo versions of the papers. For example, the first part of the 2021 demo includes text about Yuri Gagarin.
One of the texts in the 2021 demo is dedicated to Yuri Gagarin
In the second part of the 2021 demo, there are topics for conversation: “Holiday”, “Hiking”, “Fashion”. You need to make a monologue statement, and then participate in a dialogue with the examiner on the chosen topic.
Topics for conversation from the second part of the demo
As a rule, fairly simple topics are chosen for oral interviews. Most students can easily cope with tasks. According to ninth-graders, the topics of the exam can sometimes seem a little strange – as if they were intended for a conversation with a foreigner.
Criteria for assessing the Russian language interview in grade 9class of the current academic year. The FIPI criteria indicate the detailed requirements for each of the tasks.
An example of assessing the first task in an interview
The main criteria for reading a text aloud are intonation and pace of reading. For the retelling of the text – the preservation of microthemes, facts, selection of statements, methods of quoting and detail of the retelling. In the monologue assignment, it will be important to say everything to the point, use at least 10 sentences, and arrange the speech well and coherently. In the dialogue, the criteria are approximately the same – the fulfillment of the communicative task and the consideration of the speech situation.
Throughout the performance of all the tasks of the interview in Russian in the 9th grade, grammatical, orthoepic, and speech norms must be observed.
The total number of points for completing all the work is 20. The participant in the oral interview receives a credit and is admitted to the OGE if he scored 10 or more points for completing all the work.
<>
How to Prepare for an Interview in Russian in Grade 9
Study Regulations
In the specification on the FIPI website you will find a detailed step-by-step explanation of how this part of the exam passes. Study the algorithm thoroughly – so you will know what to expect from the examiner, and not be at a loss from an unusual situation.
Step-by-step procedure – on the fifth page of the document “Specification”
Practice on demo versions
Preparation necessarily includes direct format testing. Practice on the demos available online. Please make sure that your answers meet the evaluation criteria specified in the official materials.
Make reading a habit
If you speak Russian well, write well, speak fluently and have a rich vocabulary, an oral interview in the 9th grade will not be a problem.
Read a lot to enrich your vocabulary and make your speech expressive. Read aloud if you are worried about intonation or the pace of speech – the leading criteria for the first task.
<>
Participate in open webinars
Foxford regularly hosts state exam preparation classes, including free ones. For example, in one of the open classes, difficult tasks from the OGE-2021 were discussed. This is a great practice both before the exam itself and for general development before the oral interview.
Resume
Final oral interview is a prerequisite for admission to the state exam at the end of the ninth grade. And in order to successfully prepare for this stage and get the coveted admission, start by studying the rules for conducting the final interview 9class. That way you’ll know what to expect. In addition, you need to practice on demo options. They can be found on the FIPI official website and in other open sources. Try to read more and come to Foxford classes. Our experts understand the most complex tasks in simple terms.

How to learn vocabulary words easily and with pleasure?
We are starting a series of letters dedicated to the Russian language, literacy, beautiful handwriting, teaching Russian to children.
And today we will talk about how to quickly and effectively learn vocabulary words. They, like the multiplication table, must be learned.
But if there are only 100 examples in the multiplication table, then at least 800 vocabulary words are studied at school.
And a rare teacher teaches vocabulary words with children in class. Usually, “difficult” and “difficult” children are given for independent memorization, or memorization with their parents.
We present to your attention little tricks on how to memorize the spelling of vocabulary words
We divided them into classical methods, this is how they work with vocabulary words at school, and techniques for effectively memorizing words
Classical ways of memorizing vocabulary words
1. Reading words by a child . Write dictionary words into a dictionary
2. Explain the meaning of the word (if the child does not know the meaning of the word, use the dictionary) and say the possible reasons for writing the word in this way.
3. Spelling work on the word: – setting the stress, highlighting the difficult letter in green, – sound-letter analysis of the word, – dividing the word into syllables and for transfer.
4. Learning the spelling of a given word: – selection of cognate words, – compilation of phrases, sentences with this word, – selection of synonyms, antonyms, riddles, sayings with this word.
5. Recording a word in a spelling dictionary.
6. Letter from memory
Techniques for memorizing words using effective learning techniques
7. Add a word or even several words to the dictionary word that you need to remember, where the letter being checked is heard very well.
For example, the word MILK. You need to remember О.0257 8. Write down the word with your eyes closed.
After the child reads the word, he writes it down on sheets of paper while blindfolded, it is better to use felt-tip pens or bright pens.
When a word is written, it must be considered.
This exercise gives children a lot of fun, and most importantly, it involves various organs of information perception and enhances the effect of memorizing words.
9. Compare letters with geometric shapes. A is similar to a triangle, O is a circle, E is a rectangle.
And then, add figures to the right word or draw with them.
For example, ORANGE
You can imagine a triangular plate on which lie “strange”, rectangular and triangular oranges
10. Mnemotechnical method
When you need to remember a letter in a dictionary word, you can use bright alphabetic images by adding them word and linking into a bright association
What does this mean?
Remember A-bus, B-drum, etc.
For example, we need to remember how to write ORANGE
Imagine a Bus (A) full of Oranges that is stuck or hanging on a Spruce (E)
11. The game “Photographer’s Eye”
The words are printed on strips of paper.
Each word on a separate strip. Printed in large print. The child is shown the word for one second. And then he writes it down from memory. For one game, you can show 5-8 words.
Such a game develops attentiveness, increases interest in learning.
This Thursday there will be a free seminar where we will practice these and other powerful vocabulary memorization techniques.
You will learn:
What to do when there are a lot of words, and soon a dictation?
How to quickly remove errors in vocabulary words before the exam (VPR, OGE, USE)
What should be done to memorize doubled consonants, or what should be done when there are several spellings in a word?
What other effective methods of memorizing words are there?
How to quickly learn to write correctly?
After all, in the age of Internet communication, the first impression of a person is created precisely by how competently he writes.
We will analyze the best strategies to improve literacy in training – How easy is it to remember vocabulary words?
In practice, we will work out the spelling of the top 50 most difficult words in the Russian language
And participants in the Premium version will also receive handouts – Lists of vocabulary words by class in a form convenient for practicing technology
You can register for the seminar here>>
In April we will hold 7 more similar programs, 3 free and 4 paid

List of vocabulary words 1-4 class “School 2100”
Category: Russian language
There are quite a lot of words in Russian that you just need to memorize and memorize their spelling. They do not obey the rules of the Russian language. Such words are called vocabulary words. In each curriculum, depending on the author, students learn their vocabulary words. Many are repeated from program to program, but there is still a difference, and this becomes one of the difficulties when a child moves from a class with one program to a class with another. Therefore, first of all, we devote time to vocabulary words. Yes, and in the summer I consider it necessary to sometimes look into the dictionary. On this page we have selected for you all vocabulary words from the textbooks of Buneev and Buneeva under the school 21000 program.

How to help your child remember vocabulary words.
If your child is in elementary school, you may have experienced that vocabulary words are especially difficult for him. There are no rules for writing them. It is impossible to check their related words. And so long, dull rows of words line up that need to be “just remembered”. And the child’s memory is not yet adapted to “simple memorization” a symbol that means nothing to him – letters in a word. But this memory is very bright and figurative. Let’s use this and come up with our own rules for dictionary words – “wrong” .
Let’s do this with the help of associations, and then the baby’s emotional-figurative memory will work actively. Let’s connect our word with another, beat the associative connection in a poem, fairy tale, riddle or charade, and the vocabulary word will have a “foster relative” that will help to highlight and firmly remember the desired letter in the word. You cannot confuse such “adoptive relatives” with real related words: they are too far from each other in meaning.
The more unexpected, funnier and absurd the connection between words in an associative pair, the higher the memorization efficiency. This connection can be strengthened by rhyme, the rhythm of the poem, additional associative “threads” that stretch from image to image and from word to word.
Sometimes it is possible to make a pair of two “stubborn” words that become “adoptive relatives” for each other: for example, “axe” and “poplar”, “city” and “garden”. This pair works especially well.
You can also “saturate” the text of the poem with a “stubborn” letter, and let the sound corresponding to it gasp, groan, rumble, roll in verse – and again remind the child how to write a dictionary word.
Sometimes you don’t have to look for “adoptive relatives”, but simply include the “stubborn” word and the desired letter in the plot of a poem or fairy tale, make them characters: after all, children will certainly remember an interesting plot, and with it the letter itself, moreover without any effort. All these techniques have the same basis – reliance on the emotional-figurative memory of the child and his ability to associate.
More than a hundred words found their “wrong rules” in this book, but you don’t need to learn them by heart, unlike real rules, unless they remember them themselves. Just let your child read them, preferably both aloud and silently. If one day his memory still fails him, tell me – but not a letter, but a plot or an image, and next time there will be no mistake.
T such « rules » the child himself can come up with, just let him intuitively grasp how associative connections are formed. There are so many examples in the book that it is quite possible to move on to action. At the same time, the child does not have to compose poems or fairy tales at all. It is enough if an association arises in his mind and an image is born. The most important thing is that he will then be able to easily assimilate other information, very different, in the same way, and not only in Russian language lessons.
For several years, the “wrong rules” have been working in schools: some of the teachers found them in the first editions of this book, which was published earlier in two parts (“Wrong rules” and “Completely wrong rules”), and someone in the textbooks of the Russian language by O.L. Soboleva – they include some of my poems and fairy tales about “stubborn” words. According to these teachers, their entire class usually writes vocabulary dictations without any errors at all.
But what pleases me most of all is that the guys really easily learn the algorithm for creating “wrong rules” and actively use it, writing wonderful tales about “stubborn words”! I will bring one of them for you right here: it was written by Katya Timofeeva from gymnasium No. 116 in St. Petersburg.
“Once upon a time there were two letters – and and and . They were very similar to each other, although they were slightly different. Letters and had a bow, while and did not. First graders confused them all the time. Instead of and they wrote and and vice versa.
One night the letters conferred and figured out how to help the children. They asked the syllable NOT to fit between them, and a sentence appeared on the board: “ AND not and !”
In the morning the children saw him and were delighted. The letters helped a lot! And the teacher said: “What a beautiful word is silvered on our blackboard!” And the children in unison read the word hoarfrost . From that day on, they will forever remember how this beautiful word is spelled.”
By the way, in this fairy tale, Katya not only figured out how to remember the spelling of a “stubborn” word, but also managed to emphasize the difference between graphic images of similar letters.
Perhaps you will say: “Well, it’s too long for children to compose fairy tales for each vocabulary word!” And you think: how long does it take to memorize this word in order to remember it forever ? Different children have different ways, but still a lot. And a fairy tale invented by a child or a “foster relative” found by him himself will help to remember a “stubborn” word for life almost from the first time. Because this is already creativity, and what he created himself, cuts into memory firmly!
Very much, of course, will depend on you…

Vocabulary words grades 1-4 | Kidsside.
en
Particular attention in grades 1-4 is given to working with vocabulary words. Vocabulary words by topic, exception words that do not obey the rules of spelling.
Vocabulary words must be memorized. What’s wrong with that? But in reality it is not so easy. Memorization is a complex thought process.
How to memorize vocabulary words
To help your child, use all the ways:
Memorize:
visually (graphic image, spelling), underline the letter to be remembered
by ear (repeat the dictionary word aloud and syllable by syllable, highlighting with your voice the place where the word is not spelled as it is heard)
figuratively (draw a picture)
Classify and organize vocabulary words
spelling: o city, in o robei, in o ron, m o l o ko – we write O
accent: window, milk, sieve, coat
by topic: from to rock, to to ron, to to timid, to e roar – birds; b e cut, c and rhen, top o l – trees
Change words according to cases, i. e. write not only a dictionary word, but also phrases, sentences (go out with a dog, feed a dog, order a dog), select words with the same root (from to bachy, pres o bachy: ), С about Bakevich)
The system is important: constantly return to the words you have learned, draw the child’s attention to them when reading fiction

Introduction
At the Russian language lessons in elementary school, we learn words with untested and difficult to test unstressed vowels in the root of the word, with double consonants, with unpronounceable consonants that need to be remembered. We call such words “dictionaries”.
Elementary school teachers offer their students to memorize these words. Vocabulary words, like the multiplication table, must be known by heart. That’s just the multiplication table is placed on half a notebook page, and vocabulary words – a huge thick dictionary, and the writing of these words defies any logic. They must be taught and taught, often returning to the same word. How can you remember so many words? The work of spelling vocabulary words is difficult and painstaking.
There are a lot of words, and this causes difficulties for students. And I decided to find out whether it is possible to remember and check these words based on the etymology of the word, that is, the origin of the word.
I think that the work is relevant , since it is difficult for some primary school students to remember a large number of “dictionary” words.
The purpose of my work: to prove that “dictionary” words can be checked using an etymological dictionary.
I set myself the following tasks:
1. Find out what etymology is.
2. Get acquainted with the etymological dictionary of the Russian language and learn how to use it.
3. Find out how knowledge of etymology helps memorize dictionary words.
4. Conduct an experiment on writing dictionary words in the second grade of our school and show how you can memorize dictionary words using an etymological dictionary.
Hypothesis: “Dictionary” words can be checked using an etymological dictionary.
Have you ever thought about what language is and how words appear? We often do not even notice that, for example, one person speaks and another listens and understands him. Or the fact that we read a book, a newspaper, a magazine and also understand what is written. With the help of words, a person expresses his thoughts and transmits them to others. From early childhood to old age, the whole life of a person is inextricably linked with the language. The Russian language has a huge number of words! There are more than 130 thousand of them in the largest dictionary “Dictionary of the Russian Literary Language”! But not all words are recorded in dictionaries. So who invents them? After all, words could not have arisen by themselves, could they? All these questions are studied by a special science – etymology. Its task is to clarify the origins of the word, its origin: why we call something this way and not otherwise. Back in 1806, N. Yanovsky gave the following definition of etymology: “Word origin, word production; a true product of the beginning of words or an explanation of their exact meaning.
In modern linguistic practice, the term “etymology” is used in the following meanings:
– a branch of linguistics that studies the origin of words;
– a set of research techniques aimed at revealing the origin of the word, as well as the very result of this disclosure;
– the origin of the word.
Etymology originated in ancient Greece (the term étymologia itself appeared here, étymon is truth and logos is a word, which means the doctrine of the true meaning of a word). Even then, many scientists were interested in the origin of various words. In later ancient times, etymology was considered one of the parts of grammar, which means that only grammarians dealt with it.
The Middle Ages did not add anything to the development of science that interests us. The origin of many words was interpreted naively and groundlessly. In subsequent centuries, the number of untenable etymologies based on the imagination of their authors did not decrease. For example, the Russian poet and philologist V.K. Trediakovsky (XVIII century) believed that the name of the country Norway is a distorted form of the word Naverkhia (because, in his opinion, it is located at the top, in the north). And Italy was explained to them as Delete, since it is removed from Russia.
But science developed, and linguistics in the light of many teachings moved forward. Appeared at the end of the 18th century, Herder’s work “Study on the Origin of Language” opposed the then prevailing opinion about the divine origin and immutability of language.
In the 19th century, the comparative historical method was established (a set of techniques that make it possible to prove the relationship of languages and reveal the facts of their ancient history by comparing phonetics and grammar). This method made it possible to approach the origin of words from a scientific point of view. It would be interesting to know where some words came from? Who invents them? Here are some interesting facts…
Scientists rarely invent new words, but sometimes they have to when they invent something new! After all, should it be called something?
For example, synthetic materials have appeared in the textile industry relatively recently. Until there was nylon, of course, there was no word for this type of artificial fiber. But then one English company began to produce a new synthetic fiber, which did not yet have any name. What is the name of this new type of product? And so the company announces … a competition for the best name for the fiber it produces. 350 words were submitted for the contest. The victory was awarded to word nylon [nylon] ‘nylon’. Since then (the end of the 20s of the XX century), this word, along with a new synthetic material, has quickly spread throughout the globe. Among such modern “synthetic” names as nylon, kapron, foam rubber , etc., the word lavsan also sounds quite in the spirit of the era. The history of the origin of this word is very special. The name of this new type of synthetic fiber was given by the name of the laboratory where this fiber was first obtained. Word lavsan is an abbreviation for the name: Laboratory of Macromolecular Compounds of the Academy of Sciences (USSR).
Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov is a scientist-encyclopedist who made a huge contribution to the development of many sciences. Physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, engineering, and a separate contribution to the Russian language and literature. It was Lomonosov who laid the foundation for the language in which we speak now. Therefore, it is not surprising that, thanks to Lomonosov, we use a wide variety of near-scientific terms. “Thermometer”, “refraction”, “balance”, “diameter”, “horizon”, “acid”, “substance” and even “square” and “minus” were introduced into the Russian language by Mikhail Vasilyevich. Who would have thought?
The writers also wrote a lot of words. Many words that we are accustomed to and consider them long ago and independently formed in the Russian language actually appeared not so long ago and not on their own, but with the help of our poets and writers. They came up with these words, and we liked them so much that they remained in the Russian language for a long time. For example, the historian, publicist, prose writer, poet Nikolai Karamzin coined the word “ industry”. He formed it from the word “hunt”, that is, to produce. But the invented word has taken root, and we now use it every day. Karamzin explored the possibilities of the Russian language, its expressiveness. The great reformer enriched our vocabulary with wonderful words, which had no analogues in our country before. And now it seems that they have always been: “impression”, “influence”, “touching”, “entertaining”, “moral”, “aesthetic”, “concentrate”, “epoch”, “scene”, “harmony”, “ catastrophe, future. A very impressive set, isn’t it?
Today, the origin of words can be found using a special dictionary called etymological. The purpose of an etymological dictionary is to provide information about the origin (etymology) of words. Getting acquainted with this dictionary, you can find out in which language the word appeared, how it changed over a long time, in which language it was recorded.
Language is a social phenomenon. The emergence of a word and its life in the language – changes in its pronunciation (and spelling), meaning, forms (conjugation or declension), its preservation for many centuries or disappearance, or replacement by another word – are connected. On the one hand, with the history of the language, and on the other hand, with the life of the native-speaker people, with the development of their material and spiritual culture, with the natural conditions of their habitat, with their social development, contacts with other peoples.
All the words we speak hold the secret of our birth. And it is very interesting to solve it. Etymology is a science full of unsolved mysteries, mysteries dating back to the distant past, and the stubborn and inquisitive are sure to be discovered. Etymology is a complex and multifaceted science. She always requires a creative approach. Here it is impossible, having learned a few specific rules, to wait for ready-made answers to all questions. In many cases, these answers are not yet available, yet to be obtained by future researchers. Etymology is a science in which there is a place for discoveries and discoveries. It will long attract those who are serious about the word, who study its history, who strive to understand and explain the changes that are taking place in it.
3.2. Dictionary words and etymology.
Everyone would like to write without mistakes. For some, this comes easily (this is called “innate literacy”). Others are forced to spend a lot of time and effort on mastering literate writing. And if there are clear rules for writing some words, then other words do not obey any rules and you have to memorize them only through repeated repetitions (dictionary words).
Among the many words there are words that are exceptions to the rules, as well as words for which the rules exist in principle, but it is extremely difficult to apply them, for example, words borrowed from other languages. Even adult, fully educated people begin to experience uncertainty about the correct spelling of a particular word when compiling important documents, letters, and are forced to resort to the help of spelling dictionaries. However, there are words whose spelling is difficult to learn by ordinary methods, but can be greatly facilitated with the help of etymology.
Etymology reveals a lot of surprising facts about seemingly ordinary words. Indeed, it would seem, what could be the connection between compote and composer ? Is it that some composers love compote more than other drinks? However, it turns out that the Latin verb ponere (“put, put”) is the etymological root of both words. Moreover, their etymological prefix is absolutely the same: also the Latin prefix com- , synonymous with Russian co- in the words employee, sympathy. Composer literally means “composer, composer”, and compote means “put together” (from different fruits and berries). The facts are interesting, but it’s too early to put an end to it. It turns out that the etymological relatives of composer and compote (both from the side of the root and from the side of the prefix) are also composition (literally “composition”), component (“part of something”), arrangement (“composition of the whole from parts”), This is how, to a fascinating story, we get a significant spelling relief: the ability to check unstressed vowels in such complex, serious words using the usual compote.
Once, during a Russian language lesson, my teacher Tatyana Nikolaevna told our class about the origin of the word “pie”. The pie is derived from pir – “feast” and had its original meaning – “bread for a festive feast”. Pirog is a national Russian dish, which is bread with filling. Historians find it difficult to say exactly when the first pie appeared in Russia. In an encyclopedia, I once read that the word “pie” many hundreds of years ago came from the old Russian “pyro”, which meant wheat.
From time to time we come across certain questions about our nature that seem mysterious to us and to which we would like to find an answer. For example, I wondered why the bear was called “bear?” It turns out that the word “bear” is formed from the merger of the two words “honey” and “to know.” Moreover, I heard from adults that the word to know here can have not only the meaning of know, but also the meaning of eat, as in the expression “taste some honey.” The word bear appeared in Russia in the 11th century. I read in the dictionary that the word bear was formed back in the common Slavic language, and “honey” and “ed” with the meaning “bear” to replace the forbidden name of this beast. Bears in the forest often find hollows with wild bees’ honey, it’s a big holiday for them when the honey is linden.
Joyful word “vacation”! There is no student in the world who does not like holidays! Everyone knows that holidays are a time for relaxation, but few people know where the “vacation” came from. It turns out there is such a star “Sirius”, so in Latin it is called “vacation”.
The name translates roughly as “dog”, “puppy”. This star appeared from approximately July 22 to August 23 on the hottest days.
At this time, the Roman Senate declared holidays. The students were given a break. Hence the name that has come down to our times.
This word came into Russian in the 16th century and means a break in classes, but not only in summer. We have autumn, winter, spring and summer holidays. Holidays are usually called breaks in the study of schoolchildren and students.
The word library itself comes from the word “Bible”, which means “book”. This Greek word means “book depository”: “biblio” – a book, “theca” – storage. The library is not only a repository of books, but also the memory of the people, it is a center of knowledge and communication. So it was at all times. This is a magical place where books are not boring, where books are not crowded. On the shelves are stories, poems and novels that people read. The library has existed for almost five thousand years.
The very first state library appeared in Russia in the city of Kyiv in 1037. Its founder was Yaroslav the Wise. By the way, September 30 is considered the Day of Libraries. A library is an institution that collects and stores books and other printed matter, such as newspapers and magazines. The world is changing, paper editions have been replaced by electronic ones. So now there are electronic book depositories. There are a lot of different libraries, for example: public, scientific, children’s, home, mobile and electronic.
3.3. Etymology-assistant in checking vocabulary words.
After conducting an etymological analysis of some dictionary words, I found out the origin, learned about the source and time of the appearance of the word, the method of word formation and came to the conclusion: dictionary words can be checked by knowing their etymology. I decided to do a little experiment. I made a vocabulary dictation for second grade students.
birch . We consider this tree a symbol of our country, but its name is familiar in different versions to most Indo-European peoples. From the ancient word ber – “white”, “light”, “whiteness”.
Birch is a tall tree with white bark and black stripes. By the color of the bark, the tree was called birch.
Raspberry . The origin of this word is associated with the root “mal-“: a raspberry berry consists of many “small” berries-seeds. Others see it as an ancient Indo-European root meaning “blue” or “black” (Greek “melas” – “black”), and believe that the berry got its name from its dark red, “crimson” color.
Pie. The word was born from the ancient word pir. So in the old days they called a festive dinner, for which they prepared a lot of pastries with stuffing.
Work. The word was born from the ancient word slave. So in the old days they called people who were forced to work hard by their owners.
Bear. This is a large and predatory animal with brown or white hair. Brown bears love to eat honey, so the name of the beast was born from two words: honey and know. The ancient word to know means “to know”: the bear knows where to look for honey.
Pencil . In this word, the Turkic “kara” is in its most common meaning – “black”. “Dash” is also a Turkic word meaning “stone”. The word “pencil” was understood as “black stone” – graphite. Hence our word.
Soldier . The oldest meaning here was: a mercenary who is on a salary. The word is associated with the Italian “soldo” – the name of the coin and “salary”. The person receiving the “soldo” was called the “soldato”.
Pencil case . In English, “pen” means “writing pen”. This word came into English from Latin, where the pen was called “penna”. There also existed the word “pennale” – “pen box”; his descendant is our “case”.
Briefcase . A number of words that we borrowed from French begin with this “port-”: “cigarette case”, “purse”, “portfolio”, that is, “leaf carrier”, for sheets of paper. “Port-” (from the verb “porte” – “to wear”), and “feuille” (“feuille”) means “leaf”. All French words are stressed on the last syllable. Never say “briefcase”: this is a gross mistake. Initially – “folder for papers.”
Notebook. The word “notebook” is derived from the Greek “tetra” – four. And the “notebook” itself literally translates as “notebook”. Why four sheets? At first, scrolls were made from parchment to write texts, cutting off the unnecessary edges of dressed skins. And they noticed that too much waste is obtained. Then a bright idea came to someone’s head, to fold the finished sheet of parchment, cutting along the upper folds. It turned out something like a thin notebook of four sheets. Such a product was called – “tetrad”. If more sheets were needed, then several notebooks were sewn together, obtaining a notebook that was already similar in structure to the modern one.
Together with my teacher, Tatyana Nikolaevna, I conducted a vocabulary dictation in three classes. At first, I simply dictated the words to the second graders (Appendix 1). After the dictation, I showed the children a presentation where I talked about the origin of all the words from the dictation (Appendix 2). Later, in the same classes, I conducted a repeated dictation, which included words already familiar to the children (Appendix 3). The results are presented in tables and diagrams (Appendix 4). The table shows how the number of students who did not make mistakes increased in every 2nd grade. And the number of students who made mistakes decreased. When checking dictations, I found out that students made the most mistakes in the words: pie, soldier. The students also liked my presentation, they learned a lot about words. The following words were noted: briefcase, soldier, notebook, pencil case.
I was able to show how etymology helps memorize vocabulary words. For some dictionary words, we managed to find helper words for checking dictionary words.
Conclusions
As a result of the work, I learned about what etymology is and how it helps in memorizing vocabulary words. With the help of the origin of the word, its spelling can be explained.
A study of about 30 vocabulary words on the issue of their meaning, origin. The experiment showed that dictionary words are difficult to remember, and the considered method of referring to the etymology of a word greatly facilitates their memorization.
The hypothesis put forward was confirmed by the fact that some vocabulary words can be memorized without repeating many times, but knowing their origin and using an etymological dictionary.
Conclusion
Sergei Ostrovoy in his poem “Birthright” spoke about etymological analysis in the following way.
You get used to the words day by day,
And they are full of original meaning.
And when I hear: – Excuse me!
– This means: – Exclude me from guilt!
The word has the color of its fire.
His birthright. Your boundaries.
And when I hear: – Protect me!
– This means: – Surround me with shores!
The word has roots. And there is family.
It is not a foundling under a gray bush.
And when I hear: – Protect me!
– This means: – Hide me behind a shield!
Listen. Penetrate. Don’t forget.
The word has its own temper. Your gut.
And if you penetrate this essence
– The word will do you good.
Thus, etymology greatly simplifies the writing of some difficult, dictionary words.

Effective techniques for memorizing the spelling of dictionary words in elementary school
“Every educated and self-respecting person should write competently,” one often hears from teachers. What does literacy depend on? Unfortunately, not only from knowledge of the rules. In Russian, there are many words that do not obey any rules. They just need to be remembered! These are dictionary words, that is, words for which we cannot find a test word and whose spelling must be checked in a dictionary or memorized. Primary school students are required to memorize a large number of vocabulary words. The problem of memorizing words with unchecked spelling exists in every class. Who came up with these vocabulary words? And where did they come from? – the guys grumble, preparing for the next test. How to make this work less boring and monotonous? Let’s try to understand and answer the questions posed.
At the moment, the following methods of memorizing the spelling of dictionary words are considered effective:
etymological
“strengthening” of the memorized letter
plot alignment (grouping by writing vowels or letter combinations)
associative graphic
associative sound (phonetic)
It has long been a proven fact that etymology is an assistant in checking vocabulary words.
The etymological analysis of a word helps not only to better understand the meaning of the word, but also to remember its spelling. An elementary school student can easily find information about the origin of the word in the etymological dictionary.
After conducting an etymological analysis of some dictionary words, finding out their origin, learning about the source and time of the appearance of the word, its method of formation, one can be convinced that in some cases dictionary words can be checked, knowing their etymology .
Reception “gain” is as follows. Those words that are most difficult to remember should be printed in large print and the remembered letter should be clearly highlighted in them. Place cards with words in a conspicuous place. A clear repeated pronunciation of a word with enhanced emphasis on a memorized letter is also an effective technique for memorizing a dictionary word.
In the reference literature, you can find the technique “brightening” , when the memorized letter is enhanced by compiling rebuses, crosswords.
Technique “building a plot” is based on inventing a plot, “tying” several dictionary words into it. Before compiling plot pictures, you need to group vocabulary words according to the spelling of vowels or letter combinations. For example, and – bus, tram, factory, work, people, newspaper, shop; o – city, Moscow, capital, Russia; e – February, north, wind, everywhere, birch, frost.
Based on the content of the picture, you can make sentences, combine them into short stories. For example, the plot picture shows objects that begin with kar -: painting, pocket, carriage, pencil, cardboard, caravan, carnival. Using creative thinking, you can compose the following story: Crow Karkusha took out a pencil from her pocket and drew a picture on cardboard. A caravan of carriages was heading to the carnival.
Years of experience allows us to state that with catch-associations contribute to a strong memorization of dictionary words. When inventing an associative image, one must remember that it must have some common feature with the memorized dictionary word. Sound and graphic associations are based on imagination and fantasy. Everyone will agree that children really like to come up with drawings and select “relatives” for vocabulary words. Such work turns the memorization of vocabulary words into an exciting activity.
Association is, in a broad sense, the linking of something with something, this is such a connection between two or more phenomena (objects, sensations, ideas, words, etc.), in which the recall of one of them entails the appearance of another . So, for example, when you see a person walking with an umbrella, you remember the rain (in other words, the umbrella is associated with rain), and when they ask you what winter is associated with, you will most likely say that with snow and frost . And yet, the associations of different people are very different from each other.
In fact, creating memory associations is an art. The famous American psychologist and philosopher William James (1842-1910) noted: “The art of good memory is the art of creating numerous and varied connections with any information that we want to remember …”.
Psychologists say that with this method you can remember any information. Teachers-scientists A. Pogodina, V. Agafonova claim that in the work on memorizing words with unverifiable spelling reception of vivid associations contributes to their strong memorization and development of creative abilities. The associative memorization algorithm works for the development of thinking, develops the ability to analyze, teaches you to understand yourself, listen to yourself.
When compiling associations, it should be taken into account that the following requirements are imposed on the associative image :
The associative image must be associated with the dictionary word by some feature. Associative link can be by:
color;
form;
action;
material;
quantity;
sound;
appointment, etc.
The associative image must have in its spelling an undoubted letter, which is doubtful in the dictionary word.
Associations play an important role in memorizing vocabulary words. How does this happen? In order to write a spelling correctly, you need to create a vivid associative image that will help you remember the spelling of this dictionary word.
There are various methods of associative memorization. It is known that memorization is facilitated by the involvement of various analyzers in the process of perception. Therefore, there must be a reliance on different types of memory . The existence of different methods of memorization depends on this.
The reception of sound (phonetic) associations consists in the following: we connect the memorized word with another, in which the “problem” letter does not cause doubts. And the sound of this word should be similar to the dictionary. The associative connection is played out in a poem, fairy tale, riddle or charade, and the dictionary word will have a “foster relative” that will help to highlight and firmly remember the desired spelling. The more unexpected, funnier and more unexpected such a connection between words, the higher the efficiency of memorization.
It is important to remember that a consonant word is selected for the dictionary word being studied, in which the “difficult” letter sounds clearly. If a “difficult” letter is unstressed, then in a consonant word it must necessarily be stressed. For example, to about slave – m about re, in ok hall – ok olo hall, d and van – d and out. We, as it were, select a “foster relative” to the dictionary word, which will help to remember the desired letter.
The reception of phonetic associations is used in cases where a phrase from consonance and a dictionary word is especially successful. For example, the word breakfast. Consonant with him the word cancer. If these two words are combined in one phrase, it will turn out – crayfish for breakfast. The invented phrase sounds good and is well presented, it can also be accompanied by a picture. Or, for example, an engineer – Zhenya is an engineer, a plate + a plate is a container. Thus, the guys and I came up with our own rules for dictionary words – “wrong”.
Take, for example, the word newspaper. How to remember that it is written with “a” and not “o”? Let’s choose a “foster relative” for him – the word gas. In this word, the sound “a” is stressed and it is simply impossible to write “o” here. And the word itself coincides with the first part of the word newspaper. It remains only to connect them together.
Reception graphic associations consists in playing around with a remembered letter in a drawing. In order to memorize a compound word, it is necessary to draw a picture on which to depict the memorized word itself and the “problem” letter that needs to be beaten. In this case, the letter can be large or small, printed or written, of any font. The drawing can be very simple, schematic, no artistic talents are required to master this method, because you draw only for yourself. You can also “draw” more complex words in which you need to memorize two or three letters at once. In fact, there is no such word that could not be represented graphically. The main thing is to show imagination. Thus, when using this technique, we remember not an abstract letter consisting of sticks and circles, but a very specific image, so it becomes much easier to master the spelling of a word.
Having studied each of the techniques in detail, I come to the conclusion that they all contribute to a strong memorization of the spelling of dictionary words. In my opinion, the method of associations, both graphic and phonetic, is the most effective, because the work of inventing associative images can captivate younger students, and vocabulary work becomes “learning with passion”.

9 Tips for Memorizing New Vocabulary Faster ‹GO Blog
No matter how good your grammar is, if you don’t know a single word to use it with, you won’t (literally) get very far with yours. Language Skills: Vocabulary opens doors to new worlds and makes learning fun and enjoyable.
But expanding the range of words you know is like a diet: you have to put in some effort, and there is no magic trick, no secret, no one-size-fits-all way to do it. Everyone must find what suits him; but being patient, setting realistic goals, and rewarding yourself for achieving them is a good strategy that can be supplemented with any of the following points.
1. Use memorization methods
A popular way to memorize vocabulary is to use mnemonics, which are mental abbreviations that help you remember more complex concepts or words. For example, you can create associations between words: If you do not know how to spell the word “accommodation”, just remember that it has
2. Create a learning environment
When you study abroad, you will hear and read the language everywhere and learn much faster thanks to immersion. But you don’t have to go abroad to gradually increase the amount of words you know—you can create an inspiring and learning-friendly environment wherever you are: buy magazines or books in a new language, watch movies, and cook (or just eat) ) local food.
3. Put words in context
A good idea to learn more words faster is to put them in context: instead of making lists of random words, try putting them together into sentences. That way you know how the word is used in real life. Plus, if you come up with funny sentences, it will be easier to remember them. Depending on how you learn, you can also draw or find images that will complete sentences and put words in their natural habitat.
4. Learn from real life situations
Talking about context: Movies, TV shows, books, podcasts, or songs are not only a great source of the most common words, they can also help you remember vocabulary because they are always associated with a scene, person, or (real) event. So , try reading books or watching movies in the original language (with subtitles) and find out what these words mean. If you see or hear a phrase or sentence that you don’t understand, write it down, look it up, and start memorizing it.
5. Go to the next level
If you want to take language learning to the next level, leave enough room for mind maps with related words, synonyms or antonyms. If you want to get the most out of the learning process, try not to translate the word into your native language, but instead explain and describe it in the language you are trying to learn.
6. Find tools that work for you
Everyone learns differently, so if you don’t already know what works for you, try as many different ways—or combinations of them—as possible: flashcards, apps, lists, games, or sticky notes are great ways to remember vocabulary stock. It’s the same with finding the right time: some people want to set aside a certain amount of time, others learn spontaneously. Regardless of which approach you choose, be sure to maintain some kind of rhythm—after all, practice makes perfect.
7. Make it interactive
Just as you need to find the right tools that work for you, it’s also important to make the learning process as comprehensive as possible: don’t just read words from cards or lists – listen to how they are pronounced, say them out loud and write or type them. The more you make your encounter with words an experience for all the senses, the better. (Why not eat ice cream while learning what different flavors are called?)
8. Focus on useful words
If you want to expand your vocabulary because you want to work for a marketing firm abroad, you probably don’t need to read Shakespeare’s novels or focus on medieval words. The more practical and popular these words are for your career, hobbies, and real-life conversations, the easier they are to learn—and you will be able to use them more often. (This can be like a game: you can reward yourself every time you use a certain word in a real conversation.)
9. Repeat and then repeat a few more
Don’t forget to repeat not only the current words, but also the “old stuff” that you think you’ve already learned. You don’t need to look at saved words as often as you would at a new dictionary, but the more words you use, the better you’ll remember and recall them.
Vocabulary: how to memorize vocabulary faster than ever
It’s a bit of a mystery why this works, but for some reason the brain likes to focus on sounds that are stressed, but it can memorize unstressed syllables without concentrating on them.
So the trick is to concentrate on these stressed syllables and not think about the rest of the word. This is how I memorize vocabulary (you can speak fluently in any language using only the 2000 most used words ). Remember the sound of the stressed syllable based on , and somehow it will be easy to remember the rest of the word. It has many practical uses… as well as a few less practical uses.
For example, I taught my sister how to pronounce the 11-syllable name of the Doctor Who planet (“Raxacoricofallapatorius”) in less than 15 seconds, while another friend took several days to figure it out. (In this case, just start by focusing on the sounds “core” and “ripped”, and then create the rest: “Rax-a-CORE-i-co-fall-a-pa-TORE-ius”)
Seriously, here are some tricks, oh which you have probably never heard before, which will greatly strengthen your ability to associate the meaning of a word with its pronunciation.
You may have heard that the best way to learn a new word is to create a kind of mnemonic, usually a funny picture or story, that reinforces the connection between the word and its meaning.
You start by creating something silly and catchy. After all, the more you use that word, the smaller and smaller the gap in your mind between the word and its meaning will be, and soon you won’t even have to remember the mnemonic.
I’m going to show you how to make this work for any word in any western language. Remember, here is a pattern for memorizing anything:
In vocabulary, a word is a trigger, a mnemonic is your funny story about a word that points to its meaning.
And here is a part of the method that has never been seen before: When you create a mnemonic, ALWAYS base your mnemonic on the stressed syllable of the word. So this…
… becomes this:
Using the stressed syllable helps in three ways.
The first simplifies the choice of mnemonics by a ton. Instead of trying to create a story from the whole word, you know which part of the word to use to create your mnemonic.
The second is , which ensures that every time you read a word or hear it spoken, you know where to find the mnemonic to associate with the meaning. If you always use the accented syllable, you won’t have to spend too much time trying to remember which part of the word your funny story starts from. In other words, the trigger will always be easy to identify.
The third is , it greatly enhances your ability to pronounce words like a native speaker. If your mind is focused on the stressed syllable every time you say a word, your pronunciation will automatically improve.
Let’s use a couple of examples from the 50 most commonly used Spanish words. Here is “alguno”, which means “some” or “someone”. The stressed syllable is “goon”. Let’s say you have a main character trying to pick someone for his team, but all he sees is a big crowd of thugs. He throws up his hands in frustration and says, “Well, I have to choose SOME guy, I have to choose alGUNo .”
And now let’s try “otro”, which means “other”. The stressed syllable is “oatmeal.” Imagine that your character is looking at a pile of grains in a store. Corn, rice, and wheat are all on the shelf, and oats are on the floor, because it’s just a “different” grain, it’s an “old” grain.
Finally, let’s use estar, one of the four most commonly used verbs in Spanish. It means “to be”, but in a different sense than the other verb “to be”, “ser”, in the sense that “estar” refers more to characteristics that we consider irrelevant to identity, such as location. Imagine that your character is looking up into the night sky and, wanting to be there, says “I want to be with the stars” or “I want to be with the stars.” you get used to it.

5 Effective Ways to Memorize English Vocabulary
Did you know that a native English speaker usually knows about 20,000 words? And this number reaches approximately 40,000 people with a university education.
If you are learning English, this number might scare you a little.
And English words don’t always make sense. English can often feel like a patchwork quilt, like someone just glued together a bunch of random sounds and insists it’s a language.
So I understand if the idea of memorizing 20,000 words seems a little intimidating.
Fortunately, there are several strategies that can help you learn words faster and more effectively. For all of you who are struggling to expand your vocabulary, here are some ways to memorize vocabulary in English.
The Science of Learning and Memory
First, let’s talk about memory.
In fact, there is a huge area of research in the field of cognitive science and psychology, learners, how we learn. I
Here are a few things that are important to know about memory.
First, we forget things on a curve called the forgetting curve. The more time passes, the more we forget…if we don’t remind ourselves. This is why cognitive scientists agree that when we develop methods of reminding ourselves of something just before we forget it, we remember more effectively.

Spacing repetition is one way to do this. Spaced repetition is a method of repeating information in such a way that you always repeat unfamiliar information more than , and information you know well less often .
So, for example, in English, if you used spaced repetition to memorize vocabulary, you would organize it so that you practice words that you really know well (for example, “man”) less often. Words that you do not know very well well know (perhaps “fold”), will be repeated much more often.
Research shows that spaced repetition is an effective way to remember things quickly.
How can you include spaced repetition in your research?
Brainscape cards. Brainscape is a web and mobile flashcard app built using repetition intervals. You add flashcards for the vocabulary you want to remember and then rate how well you know that word. As you review the flashcards, you’ll see words you don’t know more often and words you really know well less often. It’s free to create an account and use it, but you can pay to sign up for access to their courses. One of their classes is the dictionary builder class.
Memrise. Memrise is another spaced repetition flashcard system designed specifically for language learning. They have English courses for many other languages, including Spanish, French, and Portuguese speakers. It’s free to start.
Anki. Anki is another flashcard system based on spaced repetition. It’s kind of a hacky open source version of Brainscape. It’s a little more clunky and not as pretty, but it’s completely free to use and you can customize it however you like.
Use language
One of the best ways to memorize words is to read and listen carefully—getting to know them in context. The first time you hear them, you may have to find them and write them down in your diary. But then, just by seeing the words in context, you will be able to remember them better.
This is confirmed by some studies. One experiment showed that participants in the extensive reading group performed significantly better on a vocabulary test than those who did not engage in in-depth reading. These results were supported by a meta-analysis of 21 extensive reading studies. The authors conclude that the results “strongly confirm that intensive reading has a huge positive effect on the acquisition of English vocabulary by students.”
Similarly, the comprehensive listening study produces similar results: the more you listen to language , the better you perform on language tests and the more words you will learn on . Listening while reading (for example, while you are reading a transcript) is one of the best ways to learn vocabulary.
Here are my suggestions.
Read widely. Reading intensively or just reading a wide variety of native texts is one of the best ways to learn new words, and memorize them .
Listen wide. Intensive listening, like reading, is a great way to learn and remember new words. One of the great things about the English Learning for Curious Minds podcast is that it always focuses on a new topic, giving you the opportunity to learn new words.
Talk a lot. Find a friend to talk to in English and try to put your new words into context.
Write. Using new words in writing will help you remember them.
If you really want to remember new words, read, listen, speak and write.
Check out our guide to creating your own immersion course to learn how to find reading materials, listening exercises, and people to talk to in English.
Vocabulary
There are also many vocabulary learning apps. These words are not based on repetition at intervals, so they cannot be scientifically optimized for learning new words. But they are still pretty good and might work well for you.
TinyCards. TinyCards is a card app created by the developers of Duolingo. This is a simple vocabulary building app. You can find postcards made by other people or make your own. It’s free.
Quizlet. You can use Quizlet to learn anything. This is a simple application without many features. It’s a bit more of a gameplay experience, allowing you to create simple didactic flashcards, fill in the blanks, check spelling, or play games. It’s free to use, but you can pay for ready-made decks of flashcards.
Pic. Cram is another flashcard app that can be used to learn anything, including English vocabulary. It’s free with a paid option that removes ads and gives you more options.
Create your own application. It’s actually very easy (and useful) to just create your own dictionary app for your . Alistair has written a very simple guide to making your own dictionary app and all you need is about 5 minutes and a Google account and you can have your own brilliant dictionary app to keep track of all the new words you come across. It’s absolutely free.
Use a notepad
It’s not flashy or high tech, but it’s actually what I use most of the time when I’m learning Portuguese. There is something romantic about writing new words in a notebook.
This is how I use it. When I come across a new word that I don’t know, I simply add it to the dictionary list I have. Then, several times a week, I go over the list, cover up the English definitions, and try to remember what the word meant.
The more you look at the magazine, the better you remember the words. You can mark the words you know and stop repeating them.
The trick is just to remember to take the diary with you so you always have it with you when you learn a new word or phrase.
Here’s a video if you want to see how a teacher creates vocabulary journals for his students. She also has a great South American accent, so this might be interesting if you’re wondering how the pronunciation differs in the southern states of the US. Try darkening it to work on that accent.
Games
Finally, you can use games to help you memorize new words. A ton is available on your phone and online. Here are a few that I like.
What
does not do
So far, we’ve covered a few popular options that you can use to memorize a new vocabulary. These are the variants that work .
But there are also some popular methods that don’t work, do work, and I would recommend you use not to memorize English vocabulary.
Learn non-contextual words from the vocabulary list. Simply reading a list of words out of context probably won’t help you learn words very quickly.
Use ready-made cards with words you didn’t see in context. Again, in order to remember it, it is important to see how the word is used in a real situation.
Write the word down in your mind (but don’t write it down). I do it all the time: I think I’ll remember the word later… but then I see it again, I have no idea what it means. You need to write down new words and practice them to really remember them.
Keep changing techniques in search of the silver bullet. There is no “perfect” option that does not require any work. All of them require some work. Just find an option that suits you and stick with it.
Conclusion: Get to work
The most important thing you need to remember words in English is the right attitude and the right work.
Of course you should keep track of the new words you learn. Write them down on paper, in an app, on cards, whatever you like. If you can use intervals between repetitions, the more the better.
But in reality there is no magic system. None of the above approaches is “right” or “wrong”. You must find what works for you and use it consistently. Try experimenting with a few and see what gives you the best results.
At the end of the day, you need to learn new words, and it’s best if you do this in context. But you’re unlikely to remember a word if you hear it only once. All science says you need to see it repeatedly.
So, find a method for repeating and reusing the words you encounter, and then use that method consistently. If you do this, you will find that you remember English vocabulary better.

12 Fun Ways to Learn and Memorize New English Vocabulary
Mastering a new language can seem like an impossible task, especially when that language is as difficult as English! But our friends on ABA English have 12 great tips to make learning English more manageable than you probably thought.
Memorizing new words is a huge part of learning a new language and yet it seems so difficult.
Today we want to share with you some fun tips to make learning new vocabulary easier and more enjoyable. We also want you to contribute: tell us in the comments section below your favorite ways to remember words.
1. Read
This is an important activity because reading is the best way to become familiar with a rich and extensive vocabulary.
And remember: you can read whatever you want! You can read literary books if that’s what you enjoy, but if not, try reading a comic book or a magazine. You can buy a cookbook and read it, or read a children’s book to your children. There are thousands of articles on the Internet, news sites… the options are endless. So find what you like and read it.
Reading is an easy, fun and relaxing way to improve your language skills. In addition, you will learn about other things: win, win!
2. Understand the context
Excellent! So, you “learned” a lot of new words; but if you don’t know how and when to use them correctly, you haven’t really learned.
This is why reading is so important, because it gives each word a context, and this will help you understand the meaning and use of the word. For example, in the sentence “This soup is terrible, it tastes so bitter!” You may not understand the word “bitter,” but the context of the whole sentence will tell you that it means “not good. ”
Context helps us understand when a word is used in formal or informal language, whether it is slang we might use with friends, or whether the word is commonly used in written English but not in conversation.
3. Related words
If you just learned the word “care”, don’t stop there! Use a dictionary or the Internet to look up derivatives of this word and expressions in which it is used.
For example: careful, carefree, carefree, careful! See? You started with one word, but quickly learned four more, and because their meanings are connected, it’s easier for you to understand and remember what each of them means.
4. Sentence writing
Sentence writing helps us put what we have learned into practice: you learn a new word and know when to use it. But in order for the brain to remember this word in the future, the best way to remember is to use it.
Write ten sentences using different meanings of the word you want to learn, or if it is a verb, different tenses. For example, if you want to remember the phrasal verb “tidy up”, write: “Mary, you have to tidy up your room”, “I need to tidy up before my friends come”, “Paul will watch TV after how to finish. clean up in the kitchen.”
Have you ever heard Benjamin Franklin quote: “Tell me and I will forget, teach me and I can remember, involve me and I will learn “? Well, by making sentences, you are helping your brain to learn, because it is actively involved in the learning process.
5. Write yourself down
Listening to your own voice say the words out loud and feeling the movement of your mouth will make more connections in your brain.
If you have studied English in the past but have not practiced it for a long time, you may know the words, but it will be difficult for you to remember them. However, once you start speaking, it will be easier for you to access these words when you will need them.
So, use your camera, your phone or webcam, to record how you practice your new vocabulary words and use them in the sentences you make up.
6. Make Flashcards
Flashcards are a popular way to learn new words. You can also use stickers and place them in places where you will see them regularly, or draw the definition of a word if you are a visual learner. If you want flashcards that are already made for you, try Magoosh’s free TOEFL flashcard app.
Take out the cards every day and read them over. Read the word and try to remember what it means before checking the picture or definition behind it.
7. Mnemonics
Mnemonics are a way to help us remember things better.
An excellent online resource for mnemonics is mnemonicdictionary.com ; you can enter the words you want to remember and you will see many different ways to help you remember.
8. Take notes
A good little trick is to always carry a notepad and pencil with you. Then, if you hear a word or sentence that you like in a movie or song, you can write it down. When you get home, you can study it and add it to the list of words you have learned.
9. Play games
When you are having fun, learning is much easier. So play games like boggle or scrabble. These games will test your creativity and make you think outside the box.
10. Conversation
In tip #5 we explained how writing yourself down helps your brain remember words better. So, what could be better than talking to a friend? If you don’t have native English friends, don’t worry! Just invite a friend who wants to learn English for a cup of tea and practice.
To get the most out of these conversations, we suggest choosing a new topic each week. This way, you’ll use different vocabulary. Before meeting up with a friend, be sure to spend an hour or two making a list of words you’d like to use.
11. Repeat
As the Spanish say, “la repetición es la madre del éxito”, or, in English: “repetition is the key to success.” This is true. To learn anything, you must repeat, repeat, repeat.
Set aside time each day to study your vocabulary. It doesn’t matter how you do it, but it’s important that you practice a little every day. This will create a good habit.
12. Be patient
Finally, be kind and patient with yourself.
Learning English is a great achievement and you should be very proud of yourself every time you learn a new word.
That’s it! 12 fun tips to help you learn more English vocabulary. Now don’t forget to share your tips with us.

How to Memorize Vocabulary in a Foreign Language with These 7 Insanely Effective Techniques
Ever Worried About Memorizing Vocabulary?
Have you tried to memorize the word over and over and over but it just doesn’t stick?
This has happened to me many times. And let me tell you that upsets .
You put a lot of effort into getting one short string of letters into your brain, and for some reason it just goes in one ear and out the other.
And this is just one of many words. Even languages with a “small” vocabulary usually contain at least tens of thousands of words. This is a real mountain to be overcome.
Given that learning vocabulary is an absolutely inevitable part of learning a language, I’ve spent years learning and testing different tools and techniques, trying to figure out how to make it easier, more efficient, and more fun.
Today I want to share with you my seven best word memorization techniques so they can be the tools to help you get to the top of the mountain and beyond.
Let’s do this right now, shall we?
TOOL 1: WORD NETWORKS
Sometimes one word can have many different meanings.
Consider the word game, for example:
If I ask you, “Are you playing to the party tomorrow night?” I’m asking you, , if you can come to ‘s party.
If I say “Ernest Hemingway often liked to hunt big game in Africa,” I’m talking about how the experienced writer liked to hunt large animals such as elephants and rhinos.
This is one word with two completely different meanings. And at the same time, all other meanings that the game has are ignored, for example, the phrases of the video game , game show, fair game and others.
What can English learners do to keep these meanings separate? How can you be sure that when you see or hear the word “game” you know exactly what definition is meant?
Answer: context .
When a word has multiple meanings, the context or words surrounding the particular word can often help us narrow down the possibilities and determine the correct one.
For example, “Are you playing?” and “Hemingway hunted big game” use the word “play” as a key word, it is easy to see that their surrounding contexts are quite different.
In “Are you playing?” someone asks you a question, especially if you have the quality of “being a game”
In “Hemingway hunted big game”, game is the direct object of the sentence and what “Hemingway” “hunts” for. Even if you’ve never heard the game used in this context before, if you know the verb “hunt”, you can safely assume that “play” has something to do with animals.
So how can context help you learn vocabulary more effectively?
Simple!
When you write a word, never write by itself .
Instead of , write down the full sentence or phrase in which they occur, along with a definition or translation, if necessary.
When you learn a new word along with other similar words that often appear next to it, you create a kind of “web of words” in your mind.
Every time you remember one word on the web, it automatically brings up the other words you need to express the correct meaning.
TOOL 2: LISTENING AND READING
Many people like to divide language into four separate skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing.
While this division can be helpful, it can sometimes obscure the fact that very often two or more of these skills can be practiced at the same time.
If you are talking, for example, you are likely to listen a lot and talk a lot, all in a short amount of time. Thus, speaking and listening are skills that support each other.
Listening is a skill that greatly supports reading , which can be extremely helpful for language learning.
Take, for example, languages with unique scripts such as Japanese, Amharic, Georgian, or Korean.
Beginner learners of these languages need to overcome two main problems:
Learn to read all the new characters in the script
Learn to identify all new sounds in spoken language
It is possible to do both of these things separately, devoting part of your study time to each individual task.
However, it is much more efficient to do both at the same time; to listen while you read and read while you listen.
If you are reading text that comes with sound, for example plays the sound while you are reading .
If there is no sound in your text try reading the text aloud yourself, or ask a native speaker to do it for you.
Listening and reading together is a great way to strengthen the connection between the spoken sounds and the written characters of a language so you can learn both quickly. It also adds a layer of context which, as we saw in the last section, can greatly improve your understanding of any text or spoken sound.
This method is especially useful for beginners, as most language courses now come with CDs or mp3s of written course materials.
TOOL 3: CHOICE
Let me ask you something:
Dictionaries are huge collections of words and their definitions, right?
If this is true, why should we learn words from other sources?
Couldn’t we just learn every word in our target language from some huge, complete dictionary?
Probably. But most likely not.
Even if dictionaries, at least in theory, contain all the words you’ll ever need, trying to read a dictionary to improve your vocabulary would be a language learning disaster.
Why? Basically three reasons:
1
Dictionaries contain many more words and meanings than you will ever need to actively use.
2
Many dictionary entries do not display words in context (which, as we have seen, is useless for learning)
3
Dictionaries are not very interesting reading material.
In truth, no language learner needs to know every word in the target language. This will lead to wasted time and useless knowledge.
In fact, the only words you need to know in the target language are the ones you know:
You are more likely to hear or read.
Most likely, I will speak or write.
If you know this, you can be very selective about which words you learn and which you don’t.
To build your vocabulary effectively, I recommend that you focus on learning words that meet three main criteria:
1
Essentiality – In any situation, there are words that you absolutely need to know, or you will not understand what is happening. For example, if you love gardening, you should definitely understand important words like “trowel”, “pesticides” and “flower bed”, even if these words are not very common in other situations.
2
Personal significance/interest — Even if two people speak the same language, their separate vocabularies are likely to be very different. A doctor, for example, will know more words for describing human anatomy than an artist, but that artist will have more words for artistic techniques than a doctor. This is because we have a natural tendency to learn words that are relevant to our lives, our work and our interests. You must do the same in your target language.
3
Frequency – There are many words you need to know, no matter who you are or what you do. These are usually words for general actions such as “eating”, “sleeping”, and “walking”, but also functional words such as prepositions/postpositions (to, above, below) and articles (the, a/an). These vary from language to language, but you can find “frequency lists” for many languages online.
If you are faced with a large number of unknown words at the same time, try to focus first on unknown words that meet the above requirements.
If there are too many, just focus on learning some of them. About a third or a quarter is a good start.
Whatever you do, don’t try to overload yourself by stuffing too many words into your brain at once.
Do this slowly and slowly, and with sufficient patience and time, you will learn all the words you need.
TOOL 4: ASSOCIATION
We mentioned earlier how context can help you determine the correct meaning of a word from multiple options.
Context is also useful for keeping new words in memory.
Think of all the words you know as flies in a huge web.
For example, a word like “sun” is stuck in the net next to other words like “moon”, “stars”, “sunshine” and “sunshine”.
When you hear the word “sun” all these other words also come to mind quickly, because they are all strongly associated with the “sun” and the context in which it appears.
If you already have webs of highly related words in your mind, then it is easier to add more related words to this web, and will easily remember from .
This happened to me recently with Greek and it helped me remember a number of difficult words the first time.
When I read the word “λιος” (“ilios” meaning “sun”), I automatically understood what it meant because I already knew the Italian word “eliocentrico” and its English equivalent “heliocentric”.
When I read the word “έκλεψαν” (e-klepsan, “stolen”), I remembered the Italian “kleptomaniac” and the English “kleptomaniac”.
These brand new Greek words had a similar meaning to words that were already deeply ingrained in my long-term memory, so I was able to memorize them almost instantly.
When you have learned new words , try to find associations and relationships with ideas and concepts you already know.
Even if you are learning a language that is completely different from what you currently know, you may be surprised to find clues and other small details that will help activate your mental web of words and thus make it easier to remember and education.
TOOL 5: DECONSTRUCTION
So far, we have mainly discussed tools and concepts to help you memorize whole words.
Sometimes, however, the easiest way to remember the words is when you take them apart or break them down into and look at the meaning of the resulting parts.
This is especially true in languages such as English and German, which allow words to be combined into so-called “compound words”.
English compound words are relatively short, such as “newspaper” (i.e. “news” + “paper”), “doorbell” (“door” + “bell”) and “spaceship” (“space” + “ship “).
German has longer compound words that can frighten students when trying to remember them.
For example, how would you feel if someone told you that you must remember the word “Freundschaftsbeziehung” or “Unabhängigkeitserklärungen”?
I think you’re probably a little nauseous. At the very least, you , would feel nauseous until you realize that these words are just shorter and simpler German words put together, for example:
TOOL 6: DYNAMIC REVIEW
When you were younger in school, what was your preferred exam preparation strategy?
Most people, if they were learning at all, would try to reread or review the material over and over again until they were sure they remembered every detail.
This kind of review, called rote memorization, is extremely common, and most of us have been taught to believe in its effectiveness.
But if you’re like me and you’ve really tried it from time to time, you know that rote memorization doesn’t really work . You will see the same information over and over again, but since you never get anything new out of it, you won’t process anything at all.
When the Romans said “repetita juvant” (“repetition helps”), I don’t think that’s what they meant.
I mean repetition really helps, but you have to do it in a way that keeps the material fresh and interesting every time you watch it.
My strategy is known as “Dynamic Repetition” and I think it’s a technique that can greatly improve your vocabulary.
1
Start by highlighting the resource as usual (reading the text, listening to the audio clip, etc.).
2
Wait a few days and come back to the material.
3
When you return to the material, take a different approach. If you read the text first, now make an audio recording of you reading it aloud. If you’ve been listening to audio, try handwriting what you’ve heard.
4
Wait a few more days and go back to the material. Repeat from step 3 if necessary.
5
Each time you return to the material, try to absorb it in a new, unique way. This will help keep the learning process interesting and allow you to watch the same content dozens of times before you get bored.
I recommend trying dynamic review even with older content you’ve already reviewed. With a little creativity, you’ll be surprised how easy it is to breathe new life and usefulness into an old resource.
TOOL 7: NOTE
I have spent most of this article talking about methods and techniques for organically memorizing new vocabulary words.
However, I didn’t mention one of the biggest drawbacks of memorization – even with the best techniques, it’s not always guaranteed to work!
You know what memory is. One day you can read entire scenes from your favorite movie at any moment, and the next day you can’t even remember where you left your car keys.
Simply put, your memory is not always at hand when you need it.
But don’t worry! There’s an easy way to keep all your important vocabulary safe, even if you can’t remember. All you have to do is take notes!
It may seem annoying, but it works.
In order to take notes as an effective tool for memorizing vocabulary, you need to purchase a laptop small enough to carry with you at all times. If you are tech savvy, you can also use your phone.
Keep your note-taking tool handy, and whenever you discover a new, unknown word in your target language, write it down along with the date and context of when and where the word was found.
When you’re at home browsing your language resources, you can find words you didn’t know and maybe even search the Internet for sentences or phrases to give you deeper meaning and context.
Take lots of vocabulary notes and review them regularly and you will have an indispensable tool for learning words, never forgetting them.
CONCLUSION
When you first start learning a new language, the huge amount of unknown words in front of you can seem incredibly intimidating.
Even when you have a decent amount of words behind you, you still need to figure out how to link them and make them work together to say what you want to say.
The seven tools I have shared with you in this article will help you to simplify and speed up the memorization process .
One by one, these tools will help you take a huge number of words in your target language and break it down into smaller and smaller parts that will be much easier for you to digest.
As you progress, you will also learn the value of context and how putting words together will make your vocabulary memory stronger and more reliable.
But these methods won’t work if you just use them once and forget. You need to use them every day and make them a habit.
So today choose one of these seven instruments. Use it the next time you try to learn new words. And then stick with it for at least the next week.
Once this tool becomes a habit, take another one, and another one, and do the same.
If you think you can do it, try implementing all seven tools in seven weeks. If you can do it, let me know in the comments!

12 Sure Ways to Memorize Vocabulary
1. Have students make their own flashcards by looking up vocabulary words on the Internet and finding pictures that show definitions. Have students print the picture, stick it on a card, write a silly sentence below the picture to help them remember the word, and write the definition on the back. If your students don’t have Internet access, invite them to get creative and draw pictures themselves!
2.Use these handmade flashcards to make a word wall where new vocabulary words can be displayed for everyone to see and read daily.
3. Turn students into word detectives! Change a few pictures on the caption wall every day and offer prizes like extra points or bag tickets to students who spot the change. Every day they will rush to find what has changed and will actively check the words on a daily basis.
4. Each time you find a new word in the dictionary, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the bag. Every day, take out five words from the bag and write them on the board. Then offer a reward, such as extra points, to the first student to use it correctly in a sentence.
5. Use sign language. Hand out copies of the sign alphabet and have students learn to write a few homework vocabulary words with their fingers. In class, ask students to pair up and teach each other the learned words. They will not only learn how to write these words, but also acquire a life skill!
6. Use color. Research shows that we remember color first and content second, so highlight or use colored markers and pens to write vocabulary words and their definitions. Use different colors to highlight definition key words and help students remember the meaning of the words.
7. Use partitioning. Have you ever wondered why phone numbers are pretty easy to remember? This is because they are broken down into three separate blocks of numbers that can be memorized individually. Vocabulary can also be divided into smaller parts to make it easier for students to remember their spelling.
8. Have students use vocabulary words to write stories. By placing the words in a context that they not only understand but have created themselves, they are more likely to remember the definition during the test.
9. Put words into music! Have you ever noticed how easy it is to remember the lyrics to The Itsy Bitsy Spider and other songs that you may not have sung since childhood? This is because the rhythm and rhyme of the music helps you remember the words. This idea can be used to help students memorize vocabulary words by turning word definitions into song lyrics or by writing text with sentences that put the words in an easy-to-understand context.
10. Invite students to study more often in a short time. Just like muscles need frequent exercise to get stronger, the brain needs frequent training sessions to remember information fully. Practicing for at least ten minutes every day during the week leading up to an exam is much more effective in terms of memory and recognition than an hour-long study the night before.
11. Sleep on it! Research has shown that studying before bed helps you remember. During sleep, a person’s brain processes the last thing they thought or did before going to bed. Thus, students will be better at remembering vocabulary if studying is the last thing they do before bed.
12. Sign yourself up. Have students use a tape recorder or computer program to record how they read each vocabulary word and its definition aloud. Then ask students to listen to their recording, pausing before reading the definition to try to remember it. The students can then reproduce the definition to see if their guess was correct.

How to memorize vocabulary – is it necessary at all?
Some time ago I wrote a post “How to learn vocabulary”, which said that the best way to build vocabulary is to get to know and meet vocabulary items in different contexts a lot. But I am often asked: “How to remember vocabulary ? or if needed at all.
In my opinion, the best way to memorize vocabulary is NOT to memorize vocabulary. I have always believed that memorizing vocabulary is an extremely low-efficiency activity. No matter how hard you try, some words will stay the same, and some will be very, much later.
The more content you consume by listening and reading, the more likely you are to encounter vocabulary items again, and each time you encounter them, you encounter them in different contexts. This clarifies the full range of meanings each time words. You better understand what words they are used with. You really start to feel these words live and in high resonance environments.
I always feel when I spend time learning vocabulary that I’m stealing time from meaningful interaction with language. I could listen, read and/or speak. Speaking is also important. I don’t want to underestimate speech. Perhaps I got the impression that I’m only working on input. I don’t. It’s just easier to get input.
I was once at an event here in Vancouver. There was a Russian language meeting and there is no doubt that after sitting for two hours and speaking Russian left, right and center, the quality of my Russian language and my attentiveness to Russian improved. I especially noticed this the next time I listened to and read in this language. So you need to speak too, but speak meaningfully, listen meaningfully, and read. These are all meaningful interactions with language. This is high resonance. Listening, seeing and using words is ultimately a better use of time in situations like a meeting than trying to memorize vocabulary or a list of words. Endurance is the key to success.
I don’t just mean familiarity with the language you are learning. Getting familiar with language learning and different languages, structures, and sounds seems to make you more attentive to language. I lived in Japan for nine years and did not touch Mandarin Chinese, hardly spoke it. Then, when I returned to Mandarin Chinese, I got better. I decided to spend some time learning Swedish by listening to Swedish audiobooks. But I returned to this language, I understood it better.
As you may remember from my previous article, I strongly believe that language learning really revolves around three things:
1. Your relationship
2. Language giving time
3. Your ability to notice
It’s not that I never learn vocabulary; I go over my flashcards very often. But I don’t get excited and try to figure out how to remember the vocabulary from the lessons or materials I read or listen to.
In LingQ, before learning a new lesson, I look at my saved links—words I’ve come across earlier in the learning process, some of which I haven’t learned—and view them as flashcards. Often, if I have 5-10 minutes to kill somewhere while waiting, I look through my cards, but I always have a clue (definition saved in LingQ) on the front.
So, exposure again. I don’t rack my brains trying to remember what the term means because I personally find it inefficient, tedious, stressful and boring. So I always say how to memorize vocabulary is to give yourself more information, mostly in interesting content.
Vocabulary work at lessons in high school (formation of speech competence)
Bibliographic description:
Kovalenko, N. Yu. Vocabulary work at lessons in high school (formation of speech competence) / N. Yu. Kovalenko, A S. Shvetsova. – Text: direct // Education and upbringing. – 2020. – No. 2 (28). – S. 25-27. — URL: https://moluch.ru/th/4/archive/161/4929/ (date of access: 02. 10.2022).
Vocabulary work in the lessons of the Russian language and literature is one of the main links in the development of students’ speech, since mastering the vocabulary of the literary language is a necessary condition for students to master the Russian language, which in turn serves as the basis for preparing students for the State State Academic Examination and the Unified State Examination. In order to improve speech culture, an important place should be occupied by exercises aimed at expanding the active vocabulary of children, as well as developing their ability to choose from their vocabulary to express thoughts those words that most closely match the content of the statement and make it accurate and expressive. However, if we talk about the efficiency and effectiveness of work, then we should focus on its continuity and consistency, only in this case we can count on the desired effect.
In this context, vocabulary work is focused on different goals and has different content:
It can be aimed at introducing students to the lexical meaning of words (or phrases / or set expressions) new to them, the meaning of which students understand incorrectly or inaccurately.
For example, in high school, the study of literature is impossible without enriching the vocabulary of words. As part of the study of works in the textbook of literature for grades 10–11 according to the program of S. A. Zinin, V. A. Chalmaev, after each section there is a literary dictionary, which lists the terms used in this topic. Students write down terms and definitions, and at the final stage (a lesson-summing up) they write a literary dictation.
If we talk about preparing for the exam in the Russian language, then without knowing the lexical meaning of the word, it is impossible to complete tasks 5 (distinguishing paronyms) and 6 (understanding the lexical meaning of the word and set expressions).
Dictionary work can pursue grammatical goals: the assimilation of some grammatical forms, the formation of which causes difficulties (for example, the formation of the comparative degree of adjectives and adverbs, the genitive case of plural nouns, the declension of numerals (one of the most difficult topics in Russian spelling), etc.
This skill is practiced primarily when completing task 7 of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, which is preceded by a lot of work on systematizing and generalizing the grammatical norms of the literary Russian language.
3. Vocabulary exercises can be carried out with the aim of teaching children the orthoepic pronunciation of words and, above all, observing the normative stress, which is also preparation for the exam (task 4 of the exam in the Russian language).
4. To master the spelling of words with unchecked spellings, it is necessary to carry out dictionary and spelling work. Any work program in the Russian language assumes the presence of spelling minimums in each topic studied, if we are talking about the middle link, but vocabulary dictations are also relevant in high school: firstly, this is one of the constituent parts of 9tasks of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language, and secondly, this skill is now being tested in the Unified State Examination in the Russian language.
The development of an active vocabulary of students involves finding out the lexical meaning of a word. Failure to understand the meaning of words and the inability to use them in speech has the most negative effect on the speech development of children and on their success in learning in various subjects.
For example, the complexity of the History subject in high school is largely due to the fact that without an understanding of terminology, the ability to operate with it, it is impossible to understand history itself. However, students also face similar difficulties in other subjects. And first of all, problems arise for those who have a low cognitive interest. [one]
The program of teaching history in grades 10-11 suggests that the student should be able to:
– coherently retell the text of the textbook, separating the main from the secondary;
– analyze the material, determine the prerequisites, essence and consequences of historical phenomena and events;
– compare historical phenomena in different countries and regions, highlighting similarities and differences;
– give an independent assessment of historical phenomena, events and personalities;
− argue and defend one’s views;
– independently analyze historical sources, both written and material and pictorial;
− work with a historical map;
− operate with historical dates, identify the synchronicity and sequence of events and phenomena.
None of these skills will be achieved without knowledge of terminology: it is impossible to assimilate factual knowledge, form historical concepts and an active vocabulary of students, that is, teaching history. At present, the main indicator of the assimilation of knowledge in high school is the All-Russian test work and the Unified State Examination. In VLOOKUP there is only one task for knowledge of terminology. [one]
In grades 5–8, work on understanding, memorizing and applying terms should be carried out regularly (just like in Russian language lessons). There can be several ways to explain new terms in a lesson. Some are easily explained by their origin, others are comprehended in the course of explaining the educational material. If this is a foreign word, then its explanation is accompanied by a translation. However, with all the variety of methods and ways of explaining historical terms, students cannot learn them deeply enough if vocabulary knowledge is not consolidated. To increase interest in this type of work, you can use elements of intellectual games: anagrams, “historical alphabet”, crosswords and scanwords, finding an “extra” word and explanation, a logical chain. If the terms denote material objects, then illustrative material is required. And, of course, tasks for correspondence and terminological dictations are obligatory. You can borrow some forms of working with vocabulary words from teaching methods in Russian language lessons. For example, insert missing letters, pick up a single-root word, synonym or antonym, insert a missing word into a sentence, compose a sentence or phrase with terms, maintain a terminological dictionary. All these tasks can be used both during the survey and during consolidation, or in separate lessons of generalization and repetition. The main thing is to form in schoolchildren in the process of learning active, independent, creative thinking, the ability for independent cognitive activity, independent acquisition of knowledge. [one]
In the senior classes, starting from the 9th grade, it is advisable to use forms of work similar to the tasks of the Unified State Examination and the OGE. FIPI in the USE 2019 in history offers several types of tasks for working with terms:
Select from a list of terms words of a certain era.
Definition of a term by definition
Establishing a correspondence term – definition, term – period of occurrence
Correct use of historical terms, concepts related to a given period.
Correct use of the term in task No. 25 (use in context) [2]
Unfortunately, the possibilities of working with dictionary words are not used by all. For example, in the Russian language lessons there are many terms from the field of historical knowledge, but they do not synchronize with history lessons, although these words are often not related to the topic being studied. And tasks with the selection of a synonym or antonym baffle students in grades 5-8. This once again proves the need for integration of objects. [one]
Based on work experience, it can be argued that students cope with work using terminology in grades 10–11 quite easily. This is due to the accumulated life experience, and the duplication of some terms in the lessons of social science, and the motivation of students who want to pass the exam with a high score. But, in order to prevent difficulties in completing the USE tasks, the skills of working with terms must be laid down starting from the 5th grade. [1] Thus, we want to once again emphasize the fact that the effectiveness of vocabulary work depends on how systematically and systematically it is carried out or whether it is random, and the expediency of its inclusion in the lesson should also be taken into account. By directing the attention of students to the conscious assimilation of words that are difficult, but vital for them, included in texts, for example, an educational and artistic book, one can easily connect various types of vocabulary work with the content of classes. It is no secret to anyone that working with a word should be an obligatory component in the structure of a lesson in any subject, and not just in the Russian language and literature, not without reason when preparing students 9classes for an oral interview in the Russian language, it is required to “combine” the efforts of teachers of all areas within the framework of the school curriculum.

1. “Lexicon of students of grades 7-9 of my school”
Municipal budgetary institution “Secondary school No. 19 of the Hero of the Soviet Union Petrovich MYTAREV DIMTROGRAD CITY ULYANOVSK REGION” “Lexicon of students 7-9 grades of my school” Completed by: Tatyana Lisovenko Vladimirovna 9th grade student B Supervisor: Safiullina Gulkay Valiarovna, teacher of Russian language and literature MBOU secondary school No. 19 named after I.P. Mytareva Dimitrovgrad, 2021
2. Introduction
Relevance: I believe that the project is relevant today, since there is a problem of pollution of the native language, the problem of communicating with friends. Young people unconsciously litter the language, rudely express their thoughts. The speech of 90,003 schoolchildren is faceless and standard. We have ceased to be interested in the richest possibilities of words. Purpose: study of the vocabulary of students 7-9classes and determining ways to replenish the vocabulary of schoolchildren. Tasks: – determine the quantitative composition of groups of commonly used vocabulary in students’ speech; – to study special words in the speech of students; – to study the slang vocabulary of schoolchildren; – to study the slang of schoolchildren in grades 7-9; Hypothesis: I assume that limited-use vocabulary prevails in students’ speech: slang, jargon, profanity is a frequently used vocabulary of youth, and dialectisms and professionalisms in the speech of modern youth are rare. What can be used: scientific, methodical literature, textbook material, Internet resources.
3. The concept of vocabulary
• Vocabulary (from the Greek Lexikos – verbal) – a set of words that are part of any language. This word also denotes certain layers of the vocabulary of the language. The section of the science of language that studies vocabulary is called lexicology. • Special vocabulary is words used primarily by people of a certain professions, specialties. Among special words, terms and professionalisms stand out. • Professionalisms are semi-official names for the concepts of a profession. Some terms have a wide scope, are understood by many: heart, lungs (biology), square, rectangle (mathematics), etc. Others are known to representatives only of a certain profession: clonus (med.) – rhythmic twitching of a separate muscle or muscle group that occurs involuntarily. Such highly specialized vocabulary is given in dictionaries with marks indicating that the word belongs to a certain special field , for example, av. (aviation), lingu. (linguistics), etc. • Special vocabulary is used in all styles of the Russian language, but with varying degrees of intensity. For example, highly specialized terms are used mainly in the scientific style of speech, when talking about production and technical problems, etc. In fiction, professionalisms are used in sci-fi works, works on industrial topics.
4. Professional words in the vocabulary of students
• After conducting a survey among students on the use of professionalisms in speech, I found that some professional words are known and used by school students. • This can be attributed to the fact that parents engaged in various types of activities actively use professional words in individual households. From parents’ lexicon similar words pass into the children’s lexicon. The most common 90,003 professionalisms in speech are those children whose parents 90,003 work in the field of medicine, 90,003 are fond of fishing and technology. Professionalism Medicines Meaning Medicines Dentist Dentist Zhor Strong fish bite Engine, carburetor, chain, rear sprocket, casing, cable
3 Spare parts for equipment.
5. Dialect words in students’ vocabulary
• Dialect vocabulary is words that are used primarily by people who live in the same locality. For example, in Russian folk dialects there are such words as “baz” (yard), “veksha” (squirrel). • Most often, dialect words in the literary language have synonyms with a different root: kochet – cock, chapura – heron. But there are also words that name objects and phenomena that are characteristic of the life of the population of a given area only. For example, “plakhta” in the southern dialects means a skirt made of a piece of fabric wrapped around the camp and not stitched. The meanings of some dialectisms differ from the meanings of the same words in the literary language. For example, the word “eyelid” in the northern dialects has the meaning “lid” , the word “cloud” means a thunderstorm. • As a result of the survey, it was revealed that dialect vocabulary is very rare in the speech of students in grades 7-9. Students know only a few dialectisms. 12% 88% know, use fuck don’t know, don’t use m I tried to identify some reasons for the rare use of dialectisms using the questionnaire. As a result, it was revealed: – many of the children believe that dialectisms are most often found in the speech of elderly people; ; -others believe that today the use of dialectisms is not relevant; -some people can’t remember at all what dialectisms are; – the most common dialectism in in our area is the word “burak” (beets).
6. Obsolete words in students’ vocabulary
• Words that are no longer in active use are called obsolete. They are divided into historicisms and archaisms. • Historicisms are words that name objects and phenomena that are not found in modern reality. For example, these are: a) the names of disappeared household items, types of clothing, food: salop, armyak; b) names of weapons used in the past: pischal, halberd, etc.; c) names of positions and persons by occupation, military ranks: policeman, hetman. • Archaisms are words that are obsolete names of objects, phenomena, concepts existing and in modern reality. Archaisms have synonyms in modern Russian: finger-finger, cheeks-cheeks, etc. • In the process of questioning, I found that my peers know very little of the meaning of obsolete words, are not interested in them, consider them unnecessary. Meeting obsolete words in fiction, students do not look in the dictionary to find the meaning of the word. know 47% 53% do not know
as finished and complete
units: tenth water on jelly, go to 53 do not know, do not occasion, etc. use • Many scientists attribute % proverbs, sayings, winged expressions to phraseological units. The most common phraseological units among schoolchildren • Phraseological units, like the word, have stable indivisible lexical units we presented in the table: meaning, they call a certain concept, Phraseological units Meaning phenomenon, action, sign, etc., for example , with gulkin’s nose – a little. A person who is different White crow • Phraseologisms, unlike free from all behavior, word combinations, are not created in speech, but by clothes, etc. are reproduced as finished units. L o d t r o n u l s i Start some business. • In the course of the study of students’ vocabulary, I found that some schoolchildren know V a l a m a n o d e s t i o n o o h n o . use phraseological units in their speech. Hack your nose Remember Putting sticks in wheels Intentionally disturbing someone in something.
8. Youth slang
• Russian youth slang is the most interesting linguistic phenomenon, the existence of which is limited not only by certain age limits, as is clear from its nomination itself, but also by social, time and spatial limits. He exists among the student youth. • It is a lexicon that feeds on juices of the national language, lives on its phonetic and grammatical soil. • The flow of this vocabulary never completely dries up, it only becomes shallow at times, and in other periods it becomes full-flowing. This is due to the historical background against which the Russian language develops. Young people created their “systemic” slang as a linguistic gesture of opposition to the official ideology. • In the process of studying youth slang among our schoolchildren, I found that, unlike from dialectal, obsolete, professional vocabulary , slang is used most often. 6% 94% use
not use
Based on the survey, we compiled a table of frequently used slang. Youth slang Super, class Maiden Great Discach Grannies Beach package Stick Drive Dude Meaning Excellent Diskoteka 9009 Health Money0003 Bag of noodles quick cooking Getting into trouble
Lying Person
90,003 social varieties of speech characteristic of people, 90,003 common interests, 90,003 occupations, social status.
• Slang vocabulary arises from rethinking of commonly understood words, is also replenished by borrowings. For her, abbreviations are typical. • In the process of research, I found that students widely use slang words in their speech. 12% 88% use not use Based on the survey, a table of frequently used jargons was compiled. Slang Domashka Mouzon Wheelbarrow Zabey Koresh Litra Norm Washer Bullshit Collapsed with oak Meaning Homework Music Car Forget Best friend, comrade Literature lesson Normal Washer eraser Silly, trivia Crazy
10. Profanity in the speech of students
Profanity (obscene expressions, unprintable language) or obscene vocabulary (from Latin Obscene obscene, lewd, immoral) – a segment of abusive vocabulary of various languages, including the most rude (obscene, obscenely vile, blasphemous, unbearably disgusting, vulgar) swear words, often expressing a spontaneous verbal reaction to an unexpected (usually unpleasant) situation. • Experts name various functions of using profanity : -increasing the emotionality of speech; – discharge of psychological stress; – insult, humiliation of the addressee of the speech; – demonstration of looseness, independence of the speaker; – demonstration of disdain for the system prohibitions; – demonstration of the speaker’s belonging to “their own”. • In the process of studying the speech of schoolchildren, it was revealed that students’ speech is also saturated with profanity. 6% 94% use
not use
Most often, Russian swearing prevails in the speech of schoolchildren. On the basis of the survey , I came to the conclusion that students use this type of vocabulary in their speech – for a bunch of words in a sentence; – to appear independent or as they now call “cool”; – to offend another person; – to seem “one’s own” in the circle of interlocutors. Many students believe that the use of profanity in the modern world is a fashionable phenomenon. It is also encouraging that a certain group of students does not allow the use of profanity in their speech at all. They think that swear words are rude, unworthy, is uncivilized.
11. Conclusion
• Students actually know more words than they use in speech. • They learn new words from various sources: as a result of reading, from the teacher’s speech, adults. It is necessary to constantly expand, enrich your vocabulary. • The study of the lexical composition of schoolchildren proves the presence in the lexicon of students of slang, dialect, professional, jargon, profanity. • Paying attention to the hypothesis put forward by me, I understand that it is correct. Student speech is oversaturated with youth slang, jargon, and profanity. • It is necessary to learn how to use this vocabulary appropriately in accordance with the situation of communication, to know about the impossibility of its use in normalized speech. To get rid of the negative influence of such vocabulary, it is necessary to know the norms of the Russian literary language – the norms of pronunciation, stress, inflection, spelling. After all, the concept of culture of speech is closely connected with the literary language. A cultured person must to clearly and clearly express one’s thoughts, to speak competently, to be able to attract attention with one’s speech, to influence the listener. It must be remembered that the language in which a person speaks, writes, thinks is the greatest value. Correct, accurate, rich speech is an indicator of 90,003 personality.
12. Useful advice
1. Word is great. Start working first of all on your speech, the speech of your family, friends, those around you. 2. Say “YES” to correct Russian speech. 3. Start reading fiction. It will enrich your vocabulary and will develop your intellectual abilities. 4. Discuss what you have read with someone. 5. Write letters more often, talk about your worries, feelings, using standard vocabulary . 6. Do not forget polite words, use them more often in your speech. 7. Think about what you say and how you say it. 8. Remember: your speech is your dignity, your mirror!
Russian language as the basis of education, Teacher’s newspaper
Primary school is the foundation upon which the primary school is built. In elementary school, students learn to analyze, compare, systematize, communicate not only with each other, but also with the world as a whole. But all this is impossible without knowledge of the Russian language. It is the Russian language that is the basis of the entire learning process, it is not just a subject studied, it is a tool for studying other academic subjects, a means of developing thinking, imagination, intellectual and creative abilities, and socializing a person.
Nina SKRYLNIKOVA
With the advent of gadgets, the motivation for learning the Russian language has weakened: people have begun to write less by hand and read high-quality literature. Therefore, children entering the 1st grade have an insufficient vocabulary, poor diction, speech, speech apparatus, and phonemic hearing are poorly developed. The teacher faces the problem of finding new approaches to teaching. I, like many of my colleagues, are concerned about the problem of illiterate writing of students, the inability to “see” spelling, and competently express their thoughts.
How can you help students learn to write well?
How to build a lesson so that the interests of each student are taken into account?
How to arouse interest in the Russian language in everyone?
How to achieve the assimilation of the necessary knowledge by each child, because the guys are all so different?
And most importantly, how to teach children to put this knowledge into practice, to integrate it harmoniously into their lives?
How to successfully write any test papers?
In search of answers to these questions, we teachers are looking for suitable manuals. I suggest both colleagues and parents to turn their attention to a series of manuals for the textbook of the Russian language by V.P. Kanakina, V.G. Goretsky “UMK “School of Russia” (M .: Education), workbooks by the author E.M. Tikhomirova and tests O.N. Krylova of the Exam publishing house in two parts for grades 1-4. They fully comply with the federal state educational standard for elementary school.
The topics in the workbooks correspond to the topics in the textbook, which is very convenient. We went through the topic from the textbook – fixed it in the workbook. You can perform some exercises as homework, some tasks in the classroom frontally, and some individually, developing the independence of the child.
The manuals include tasks for working in pairs. Mastering literate writing is impossible without motivation. In order to form a positive emotional and value attitude towards the Russian language, the desire for its competent use, understanding that correct oral and written speech is an indicator of a person’s general culture, the tasks in the manual are built in an entertaining form. There are crossword puzzles, illustrations, tables, diagrams, work with a plan.
Tasks correspond to the age characteristics of younger schoolchildren (“The bunny will move from coast to coast along the bumps on which prepositions are written. Connect the bumps so that the bunny gets to the other side”, “Find the names of five sports in the grid. Write them down”).
After some time, each pupil begins to apply the knowledge and skills acquired at school in real life. The integrating function is one of the most important. The child, having understood by his own example that school knowledge is really useful, receives an additional unimposed incentive to learn.
A lot of attention is paid to working with text: restoring a deformed sentence, deformed text, editing text, copying text with creative and grammatical tasks.
In the 1st grade, the following topics are studied in this manual: “Russian alphabet”, “Word”, “Sentence”, “Text”, “Capital letter in words”, “Preposition”, “Sounds and letters”, “Classification sounds”, “Syllable”, “Word transfer”, “Spelling “zhi”, “shi”, “cha”, “scha”, “chu”, “shu”, combinations “chk”, “ch” (these are the first spellings in the Russian language course in elementary school). There is a study of nouns, adjectives and verbs. The presentation of the material is clear and consistent. All these topics are linearly repeated in grades 2-4.
In the 2nd grade, we begin to divide words into parts of speech (“Fill in the table”). In the 3rd and 4th grades, knowledge about these parts of speech expands and deepens (“Underline prepositions in the text. Indicate the case of nouns”).
We open the 1st grade workbook. From the first pages, the child is immersed in the atmosphere of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood”. Based on this passage, an acquaintance with the dialogue takes place. In the assignment, they offer not only to read it, but to do it in roles with a desk mate.
Why not a theatrical performance? To be able to convey the character of the characters with intonation is not an easy task. After that, there is a full analysis of the text from the author to the moment in the fairy tale in which this dialogue takes place (“Remember the name and author of the fairy tale. What is the name of the character who asks questions? … Answers questions? Write down the name of the hero. What type of speech did you use when playing the scene ?”).
One cannot but rejoice that from the first pages of the workbook students get acquainted with excerpts from Russian classical and foreign literature, with folk art. A sense of taste, aesthetics must be nurtured from an early age. In my opinion, a big plus is that the volume of the letter increases gradually, more and more with each topic covered.
Workbooks have a sample of calligraphy to help shape the handwriting. Many tasks are suitable for a differentiated approach, the teacher himself can determine to whom only to write off, and to whom also to complete the tasks for the exercise.
The formation of the vocabulary of younger students occurs at each lesson. This is very important for the harmonious development of the child’s personality, the development of his cognitive activity, the formation of the communicative competence of students: the development of oral and written speech, monologue and dialogic speech, skills of competent, error-free writing as an indicator of a person’s general culture.
There are tasks of a propaedeutic, anticipatory nature. From the first pages there are tasks for an unstressed vowel and a double consonant.
In the section “Words and syllables. Emphasis ”rebuses loved by all children. Dividing words into groups, working with the Explanatory Dictionary. Enrichment of vocabulary by including sayings in speech, selection of synonyms and antonyms. Who doesn’t want to be a teacher? And in the workbook there is such an opportunity – to play the role of a teacher and check what is written, and then also exchange with a neighbor and check each other.
Divide words into syllables and fill in the table according to the number of syllables, put stress. You can complete the task on your own and check your work using the Spelling Dictionary, which contributes to the development of self-esteem and self-control.
Go to the Sounds and Letters section. Phonetic knowledge is very important for schoolchildren, as it is closely related to graphics and manifests itself in spelling literacy, and contributes to the meaningful assimilation of speech. Every primary school teacher from the first days of study tries to form a solid base of phonetic ideas among students.
If a child has poorly developed abilities to listen and hear, to distinguish and correctly use the sound means of language, then he has insufficiently developed speech hearing. Therefore, the child will experience difficulties not only in the correct spelling of words, sentences, but, above all, in communication. It will be difficult to convey your thoughts and understand the speech of others. It is no coincidence that in the methodological literature a large place is given to the study of phonetics and graphics in the 1st grade.
In the workbook, this section also has a large place. And learning begins with play. It is necessary to determine which sound is the first in the word, according to the picture. And already, depending on whether it is a vowel or a consonant, paint over a square under the picture, count the number of letters and sounds in words, form new words from words by deleting one of the letters. And again the development of independence and self-examination.
In the first part, you form words yourself, and in the second part, with a neighbor. But the guys still need to be given a lexical meaning and choose those that cannot be transferred. In the 2nd grade, the tasks become more difficult. Sound-letter parsing is already in progress. In grades 3-4, sound-letter analysis becomes more complicated.
It is possible to play spies: decipher the words using the serial numbers of the letters of the alphabet, and encrypt for a neighbor, arrange these words in alphabetical order and check the neighbor on the desk, connect the letters and their names. At the end of the workbook there are answers to exercises that can be given for self-fulfillment with subsequent self-examination.
One of the functions of modern education is informational. At the lessons, children receive a certain amount of information that affects the formation of their worldview, provides food for spiritual development and specialized skills.
A student needs to develop skills and abilities that allow them to find information, choose the one they need, critically evaluate it and use it for their own purposes. Primary school age is a sensitive period for the perception of everything new. Therefore, it is necessary to lay the skills and ability to work with information from the 1st grade. It is these skills that help form the exercises in the workbook, for which you need to carefully read the task, which also contributes to the emergence of the skill of conscious reading.
So, in the “Text” section, tasks are aimed at finding the topic, the main idea of the text. Exercises teach children to work with information in the text. Find the right sentence, determine where the text is, and where is the set of sentences. Divide the words into groups, the text into parts, play the role of an artist and draw an illustration for the text, title it.
And in the workbooks for grades 3-4 this is given a lot of attention. There are many tasks to strengthen and enrich knowledge about the lexical meaning of a word, about its ambiguity, direct and figurative meanings, about synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, phraseological units. Work with phraseological units begins with the 1st grade.
Workbooks for grades 2-4 consist of two parts. All workbooks are arranged in a linear fashion. I want to draw attention to the fact that the principle of linearity allows you to deepen the knowledge of the child in the subject from class to class.
The whole line of workbooks from the 1st grade systematizes the knowledge of children and smoothly prepares for writing VLOOKUP in the 4th grade. For good writing of VLOOKUP, it is not enough to know the material well, you need to have the skill of solving tasks of a certain format. And in the workbooks there are similar tasks.
Examinations by O.N. Krylova of the Exam publishing house are presented by class in two parts. Tasks in the tests are aimed at determining the depth of knowledge of students in the Russian language, the ability to apply their knowledge in practice, the level of development of written speech and spelling vigilance.
The manual is intended for use throughout the school year by primary school students, as well as for teachers and parents who want to test the child’s knowledge.
Tasks are structured in such a way that the main thing in their implementation is not only the end result, but also the encounter with difficulties and overcoming them, which makes students look for new solutions. Preference is given to such exercises that make you analyze the material.
There are no answers to the questions in the control books, students cannot check themselves. But they can’t write off. This means that the teacher will see the real picture of the child’s knowledge and will be able to correct further work. And both sides win – both the teacher and the student. This is how it should be, because we are one team, we have common goals and objectives.

Have you ever thrown a party for your dog? Believe it or not, 11% of Americans have and almost 30% give a present to their dog on their special day.

If you’ve been thinking about throwing a dog birthday party but weren’t sure where to start, or would just like to gather some inspiration on how to celebrate your puppy’s first birthday, we’ve dug up some dog birthday ideas on how you can throw a dog birthday party. Take it step by step, or cherry-pick what works for you.

Parties aren’t just for birthdays! There are lots of reasons to celebrate your dog, and certainly you don’t have to wait until your dog’s birthday to bring out your party shoes. Here are some ideas to get you in the party mood any time of year.
To get even more excuses, I mean reasons, to throw a party for your pooch, complete with photos, check out 26 awesome reasons to party with your pooch.
Like planning any event, the first step is deciding how much you want to spend. A goal amount that’s usually a range with a “no higher than” end number. This will help inform all other decisions! And don’t worry if that number is, like, $50. You’d be surprised what you can do with that.
For dog lovers, getting an invite to a dog party is like Willy Wonka’s golden ticket. Because even if social interaction isn’t your jam, booze and snacks don’t entice you and buying presents gives you anxiety, there is nothing you wouldn’t do to spend an afternoon surrounded by dogs.
But before you break out your contact list, you’ll first need to consider if your pup is the kind of dog who could handle a party in his/her honor. Some dogs don’t do well in crowds, or take longer to warm up to strangers. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t throw them a day of celebration, but it may mean fitting the event to their needs!
Maybe they’d do best just sharing some dog birthday cake and presents with you, their favorite human, at home or maybe you should only invite a couple of select humans over to their safe space whom they’re really comfortable with. You know your pup best, and only you can make the call on what kind of dog birthday ideas they’ll do best with. Remember, the party’s kind of for you but it’s still mostly for them and each dog’s needs are unique!
So here are the options:
Dog + immediate family
Dog + immediate family + friends
Dog + immediate family + friends + canine friends
If you’d like to get some other pups involved just make sure they’re dogs your dog has met and played well with in the past. Then, with that number in mind, you can begin to contemplate where you’d like to throw the party
Now that you’ve decided how many people and dogs you’d like in attendance you can start thinking about dog birthday ideas for party venues.
You might assume that a dog party has to happen outdoors, and while that would definitely be easiest for a few reasons (no bathroom breaks, less ability to destroy things or disrupt the peace with barking), there are definitely indoor places that rent out event spaces.
When deciding on dog birthday party locations, consider things like:
✔️ The size of the party (how many humans and how many doggos)
✔️ Is the party an excuse for humans to get together, or is it truly for the dogs?
✔️ The weather that time of year ☀️ or ❄️
✔️ How much money 💲you’d be willing to spend on renting a space (some facilities do offer their space for free)
Tip: Limit the party to two hours, that’s just about the right amount of fun, before dogs get cranky and you become tired.
Location Options
1. Inside Your Home This works for 1-4 dogs, depending on their size + their associated humans. If the party is more about the humans, then this is a great way to go.
2. Your Backyard or a nice friend or relatives
3. A Dog Park (check with the park’s management to see if you can rent it out. If not you could still have it there but it would be unstructured and more casual (ie, you couldn’t set up a photo booth or set up a dog birthday cake)
4. Dog Friendly Human Park (remember to contact the city council to reserve the space)
5. Agility Course We love this concept, it’s like a kids party at a roller rink or gymnastics studio. Built in entertainment, managed by someone else!
6. Dog Water Park If you’re lucky enough to live near a dog water park, and it’s summer, that’s a perfect idea for a dog birthday party venue. You wouldn’t have to worry about a lot of fru fru decorations or planning… the dogs would entertain themselves.
7. Dog Beach
I love this dog birthday idea. If you live on the coast or a large river and there’s a dog friendly beach, this would be another location that offers built in entertainment. The humans could enjoy a beach day and the dogs could get into all kinds of shenanigans
8. Dog Party Centers
Often doggie day care centers & pet stores will rent a space or offer them gratis as a way of showcasing their facility and merchandise.
Get the full list of location options here, along with a listing of dog friendly event spaces by state.
As adults, our birthday shin-digs rarely have themes. But one of the fun things about children’s birthday parties are the themes we often create around them, creating a whole world for them to exist in on their big day (think Unicorn Rainbow Parties, or Disney characters).
This can also be a fun dog birthday idea,, though we realize it’s kind of tough to ask them for suggestions or a preference. If there’s an obvious grab there then consider theming it up! If your dog
is named after someone or something
has a particular toy they really love that’s a character
birthday falls near a holiday
is a particular breed, and you want to do a breed specific party.
But all of the Pinterest cutesy stuff isn’t necessary, and there’s no need to cause undue stress. If nothing is popping out at you, consider just buying or creating a few simple decorations to spice up the space, whatever feels festive and is within your budget.That’s the direction that Vivian Son went with her Corgi Nacho for his birthday party. She was co hosting with 2 other Corgi’s (Otis and Butters). Through Instagram they had met up with many other Corgi owners and had developed friendships (or in this case would it be a pupship?) and so invited all of their Corgi friends for a total of about 17 Corgis!
Here’s a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing:
Hawaiian
TIme period 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s
Summertime
Winter wonderland
Formal / Classy
Dog themed
Modern or vintage
Fun & festive
If you really want to go for it, choose music that goes with your theme. Or if you don’t have a theme, how about playing music about dogs?
Here’s 27 songs about dogs, curated from The American Kennel Club.
And here’s another video play list all about our favorite four legged friends.
1. Photo Booth
A photo booth is a great way to entertain people as they are coming in and to capture lots of silly moments. The style of the photo booth also helps to tie your theme together. You have two ways to go here:
Hire a photo booth (either enclosed or open air). It’s a piece of equipment that takes the photo, and texts or emails it to you on the spot. The old school ones print out the photo from the booth itself. You can rent one of these from Loanables.
A DIY photo booth, which is a simple backdrop in an area that is well lit. YOu can choose the colors based on your theme. If you’re willing to spend some money you can hire a photographer, but many people will be happy to take selfies or ask someone a friend to take their photo. Here’s a cool photo booth app you can use.
In either case you can prepare fun props that go along with the theme. Facemasks, hats, etc. You can go the DIY route if you have the time and are crafty, if not, there’s always the Dollar store, Etsy and Amazon
2. Birthday hats: Even if your dog cannot stand anything being on their body, you have to get at least one photo in a birthday hat, to post on Instagram.
📷@jmsimonphoto
3. Birthday outfit: If your pup is cool with a hat, maybe a party collar wouldn’t bother them either? Birthday collars stay on better than hats, so it would be fun if all dogs in attendance wore one, at least for the photos.
📷@borithegoldenfamily
4. Balloon banner: You can make a birthday sign a few different ways- craft a banner on your own, order a banner from Amazon, go upscale and get one from Etsy… Our favorite idea? Get a balloon banner, a fun and gorgeous way to state the ocassion – Happy Barkday or whatever you’re celebrating
5. More balloons? Yes, please! If you have a popular dog breed, you can scour for balloons featuring your pup’s likeness and scatter them around the party. Everybody loves balloons, and having them up in your dog’s likeness is even better than those adorable hand stretched dog balloons that clowns make. Cute, but you know, not very specific. Dollar Tree sells helium balloons for $1 each, best deal ever. You may be limited on dog balloons though. Party City has a bigger variety, but they’re more expensive. Or if you not bothered with helium, then Amazon has a lot of choices
6. Doggie food plates: Whether you’re serving human food or just some dog birthday cake to the pups, do it in style with these adorable paper plates emblazoned with some seriously cute pups. A themeless theme, if you will. Suitable for any occasion and worth the price of admission. (Amazon)
7. Treats Galore!
Here’s a dog birthday idea: A beautiful display of doggie treats really sets the mood. You’ll want to make sure they’re all natural, and grain free if any of the dogs have a grain sensitivity. You can pick up a nice variety from The Dog Bakery

8. Party package: Wanna make decorating super easy on yourself? It doesn’t have to all be hyper individual and unique. If you want to save time or just aren’t super crafty yourself (no shame!), consider ordering a pre made party that includes everything you’ll need like balloons, hats, goodie bags, candles and more. Check out The Dog Bakery’s party selection for stress free ordering.
9. Goodie Bags
If other dogs are invited, making goodie bags will be a a real pup pleaser. You can make them up individually or buy them as part of a package. Ideas for things to put in the goodie bags:
Poop bags
Doggie bandanas
Squaky tennis balls
Treats
Toys
When Vivian Son threw her corgi Nacho a birthday party, she and the other co-hosts made up goodie bags, that included a customized bandana with the dog’s name on it!
Here’s a great checklist to help you plan the decorations

Once you’ve decided on a place to throw it (and booked it, if necessary), and a guest list, you can send out a dog birthday party invitation either through:
a digital service like Evite (where you can design and personalize something cute and doggie related),
by creating a Facebook dog party invitation
Sending actual paper invites (pretty cute, but involves an obvious amount of extra work).
Buy them at a store (you still have to write or print them out, address, stamp, mail)
Make them yourself
Things to mention on the invite:This was the invite that Lauren Burnham and Arie Luyendyk from The Bachelor sent for their dog’s birthday party. The Dog Bakery provided all of the doggie treats!Obviously let your guests know who, what, when and where. Also:
GIFTS
On the invite, you can let guests know whether or not they should bring a gift (and, if so, provide some dog birthday gift ideas). Maybe your dog has specific allergies or kinds of toys they prefer. Or maybe they really don’t need anything and you’d guests donate money in his/her honor to a local rescue or shelter group.
There is no wrong answer, just decide what works best for you and your pup and make it clear on the invite so that you don’t have to spend too much time answering inevitable followup questions afterwards!
If you’re having a large party, you could always create a registry on Amazon. This is a great idea for a Puppy Shower or a birthday.
BAD BEHAVIOR
You can also include general guidelines on the invite about leaving aggressive dogs at home checking with you before bringing an entourage. When it comes to dogs, you’ll want to be more clear than ever before on who is coming, who they’re bringing and which four legged creatures are joining them.
Tip: Two hours for a dog party is just about the perfect length before dogs and humans become too tired!
TIP: If there are going to be multiple dogs at the dog birthday party, make sure none of them have food motivated aggression, and even if everyone seems pretty chill, it’s still good to be cautious while handing out treats.
Doggie Drinks
Make sure there is plenty of water for the dogs and drinking bowls aplenty. Instead of goodie bags you could provide dog bowls customized with each dog’s name (if budget and craftiness permits)
An idea we love from Sit In Chicago is the concept of a doggie mocktail bar, that is, making specialized drinks for pups like chickentini or a long Island Iced Beef. Be sure to have lots of disposable bowls on hand.
Another fun idea is to serve beer for dogs. Yes, that’s right for dogs. But don’t worry, they won’t be stumbling around knocking other guests over.
All ingredients are American made and the broth is made from scratch – no onions, salt or fat is added.
Party Food For Dogs
Here are some fun dog birthday party food ideas.
Pupsicles / Frozen Bites – these are easy peesy. Order a bone shape ice tray like this one, and then freeze up some yummy things dogs will love. Alternatively, you can freeze the items in a dixie cup, or in a traditional popsicle molds.
Here’s some ideas of things you can freeze up
Goat Milk Pupcicles
Bowser Beer
Chicken or beef broth
Dog Safe Pumpkin & Banana
Watermelon cubes
Yogurt & Bacon Bits
Gourmet Dog Treats – a spread of cute dog treats will really set the party mood. These treats from The Dog Bakery were enjoyed by Pierre & Gus Gus at their epic birthday party. Check out their Instagram story for tons of ideas.
Veggies
Cut these up into bite size snacks and place in bowls.
Carrots
Iceberg lettuce stalk or celery
Apples
Sugar snap peas
Ice Cream For Dogs
If you’re going to serve dog birthday cake, you have to have ice cream, right? This ice cream is maple bacon flavored. It’s all natural, easy to prepare, creamy and scoopable. Your dog will love it.
TIP: Whatever you decide to do food wise, be sure not to have anything around that’s harmful to dogs, like chocolate, grapes, onions and caffeine.
Food For Humans
Consider the time of day:
If it’s morning, then easy peesy– pastries, bagels, coffee
If it’s afternoon or evening, then you may want to offer nibbles and refreshments. We won’t go into detail on human food as there are a many other blogs that can talk appetizers better than we can… but did I hear “costco”?
Doggie inspired libations (for humans)
We do absolutely love the idea of choosing a themed cocktail. Here’s a list of cocktails named after dogs.

The pièce de résistance is of course the dog birthday cake!. Come on, what birthday party doesn’t involve a little cake for the birthday boy or girl!? Whether you decide to make your own or order one in, there are tons of amazingly awesome doggie approved birthday cakes and dog cake recipes out there.
If other dogs are coming, be sure to ask if they are sensitive to grain, if so you’ll want to get a grain free dog cake. The Dog Bakery makes all of its cakes in a grain free version and ships all over the United States. And the grain free version is just as cute as the original recipe.
When it comes to dog cakes, do not give your dog a human cake. They are loaded with sugar which is very bad for dogs.
TIP: When it comes to refreshments for dogs, remember, less is more. Cake is a treat, even if it is a grain free dog cake made with all natural ingredients. Dogs aren’t used to eating it. So, moderation is key to avoid sick stomachs. Nothing shuts down a party faster than a room full of sick dogs!
Here are your dog birthday options
1. Make one yourself (either from scratch or from a premix). Going with a grain free option is better, so all doggie guests can enjoy. Here are seven easy grain free dog cake recipes we like.
2. Order one from a dog bakery.
The path of least resistance is of course to order a dog birthday cake that’s delivered right to your door, or that you can pick up at a local dog bakery. The Dog Bakery makes adorable dog cakes in various shapes and sizes . The cake can be delivered right to your door, or it can be picked at The Dog Bakery in Los Angeles.

Pierre & Gus Gus are well known pups on Instagram. They joined forces to throw an epic birthday party with 30 other dogs and 40 humans. The Dog Bakery made them a tiered cake for the occasion! Check out their Instagram story for tons of ideas.

So you’ve got the guest list, the space, the time and the decorations on lock. So what will you actually do at the party? Before you get stressed, remember that this can be as complicated or as simple as you like.
Maybe you’re happiest to just gather some people and pups in one place and hang out! Chat and let the dogs run around. Nothing wrong with that!
Also, if you book a location, often times they will have a puppy playground of sorts. So between the photo booth and the playground you should be good. The humans will most likely be chatting and chasing around their dogs.
If you do want to organize some activities and dog birthday party games, here are some dog birthday ideas. Some of these are pretty crazy, so pick and choose based on the type of dog you have.
Doggie musical chairs: Same as you’ve always played it – just with dogs! Have owners walk around a circle of chairs with their pups while the music plays, and when it stops both they and their dog have to sit as quickly as possible. Whomever is last is out! We’ve also heard of this being played at dog birthday parties with hoola hoops, and having the pups sit in the hoops while the owners stand outside of it. Whatever feels easier to acquire and pull off!
Doggie drawing contest: Have creative friends? Bring paper and pencils or paints or colored pencils and have everyone draw either your dog or their own. Ask everyone vote on their favorite or play a game where guests guess who drew each one.
Doggie “Tattoos”: This is a tattoo for the dog, not the human. Buy or make stencils of fun things like hearts, cross & bones and other symbols you like. Then get doggie safe hair paint. Press the stencil against the dog, and spray the paint in the stencil for a fun tattoo! Here’s a quick tutorial from Matt Elias, Pierre’s dad.
Trick contest: Have owners and their pups show off their dogs best moves, and see who has the best sit, stay, lay and high five!
Bubbles – Bacon Flavored. This is the best dog birthday idea. Buy or rent a bubble machine, then use bacon flavored bubbles. The bubbles are 100% non toxic and made specifically for dogs. Dog’s will be running around trying to catch them for hours! Find the bacon bubbles on Amazon.
Jungle Gym– Simple ramps can add lots of fun to any dog party!
Water Park Pool – If your party is in your backyard, it’s summer and you have water loving dogs coming to the party, what could be more fun than this? You can order them from Amazon.
For Small Dogs
This one is 10 inches deep, so for small dogs you’d only fill it up a few inches
For Medium Dogs:
Doggy slip and slide, water slides & mystery box challenges– if you watch YouTube you know what these are. If you don’t, take a look at this doggo version of a mystery box challenge. The video does issue disclaimers that viewers should exercise caution before trying this at home.
Dog’s love ball pits and exploring! (If you don’t believe me watch this Instagram Instagram story of Pierre & Gus Gus’s big birthday bash. They invited 30 dogs) If budget permits, this would be an awesome addition to any backyard dog party! Check it out on Amazon.Doggy Ball Pits & Bounce Houses
Agility Course
Awesome idea for a backyard party, that has plenty of space. Get a do it yourself agility kit (or make one) and see how the canine guests perform. Could be good for a lot of laughs. Check out agility in action.
Water Fountain Fun – check out this fun fountain that attaches to a hose. Once dogs get the hang of it they’ll be busy for hours. For double the fun, have a few going in the back yard.
Don’t forget the prizes!
You can’t go wrong with treats, especially jerky treats. We’ve never met a dog… anywhere ever, that didn’t like meaty treats. We recommend these treats that have supplements baked right in. Go for the ‘Immunity & Digestion” formula. After all that birthday cake, they’ll need it.
You want the day to go off without a hitch, and be as least stressful as possible, right? Of course! The best way to ensure this outcome is to plan as meticulously as possible for the big event.
According to Arden Moore, author of Dog Parties: How to Party with Your Pup, you should map out your party plans into checklists in advance. She also suggests shopping in advance so you can take advantage of bargains.
We recommend you break your lists up by:
Checklist #1 Stuff you need to do or make
examples
Order Cake from The Dog Bakery
Make sign for drink station
Organize music / create playlist
Send dog birthday party invitations
Checklist #2 Grocery Shopping List for dog party supplies
examples
Bottled water
Veggie platter
Beer & wine
Checklist #3 – Things to do on Party Day
Pick up cake from bakery
give your pup a really good morning or afternoon walk before the big event, have a bowel movement and run off energy at the dog park before the party. They’ll likely be getting lots of attention and love at the event and it’s best to put them in the best spot to take that in and not feel overwhelmed!
Have plenty of poop bags, cleaning spray, paper towels and a first aid kit handy.
A good tip if other dogs are coming to the party is to have each pup introduced on neutral territory before joining in. This will require some extra coordinating with the owners of any invited dogs, but just try and get everyone showing up around the same time and stay in touch to facilitate a little doggie facetime before the event really gets going.
Here are some party planning templates you can use.
Planning the decoration
Party Planning Timeline & Checklist
All of this party planning you may have forgotten to get your dog an actual gift! It may not be as big of a deal if you’re having a larger party like Pierre did (shown above). He had about 30 other dogs at his party. Lucky Dog!
Whether it’s for your own dog or you’re going to a dog birthday party, here’s our 4 favorite dog birthday presents and unique dog gifts that will be sure to delight!
1. Birthday toy: What do you get the dog who has everything? Other than your undying love and a badass party, of course. One super special toy, duh! Buying them a replica of their favorite-ever toy is great, no doubt, but you can also grab them a birthday-specific toy they’ll cherish for weeks (or maybe minutes, depending on your pups commitment to ripping up toys) to come.
2. Bully Sticks: Every dog loves bully sticks. Big dogs, small dogs, ruff and tough dogs, fluffy and fruffy dogs. You can’t go wrong with bully sticks.
3. Jerky Treats: Not all dogs love all treats, but all dogs do love jerky. What dog doesn’t love meat? We recommend jerky treats that have supplements baked right in, like pumpkin and coconut oil. Pumpkin is great for settling an uneasy tummy, which may be needed after a big party!
4. Birthday card: If you wanna get your dog a card, that’s a great idea, but we kinda feel like you might as well make it edible. Dogs are obviously not going to get anything out of a basic paper card, no matter how much they make your heart soar. And while we enjoy some basic fun doggie birthday hijinks that are kinda for the adults too, doing something for them that they can’t enjoy at all seems a bit silly. But how can they not enjoy something that they can literally eat? We’re sold. Yum. (Amazon, $5)
Looking for more dog birthday presents and unique dog gifts, here’s an article that has about 11 of the best dog gifts to choose from.
Enjoy the big day! Hooray, the big event has finally arrived! You’ve planned well, and you’re ready to shower your pup with all the love and attention they deserve. Know that there will be bumps and surprises along the way, but that’s to be expected and your dog is definitely not judging you! That’s part of what makes them so great, right?
And that’s a wrap! We hope the guide has you brainstorming lots of fun ways to create the perfect birthday pawty for your pup. What are you going to do? Create a DIY dog birthday party or host it somewhere else. Let us know in the comments.

10 totally paw-some dog birthday party ideas
Dogs provide us with companionship, all kinds of cuteness and infinite amounts of love — so, the least we can do as pet owners is extoll their brilliance on their birthday on Instagram (of course!) and beyond.
No matter the occasion — a dog birthday party, gotcha day, bark-mitzvah, or simply Love Your Pet Day — or your budget, there are so many creative ways to fete the furry wonders who’ve changed our lives for the better. If you plan to go big with the festivities (think: paper invites and a lengthy guest list) or small and more intimate (your dog, a party hat and your camera phone) only one key ingredient is needed: fun!
“It’s all about celebrating the connection we have with our pets,” says Arden Moore, author of “Dog Parties: How to Party With Your Pup.”
From a DIY ball pit destined for video greatness to insanely adorable Instagram backdrops for the all-important birthday post, we found 10 dog birthday party ideas for those craving a barking good time.
1. Make it an un-fur-gettable morning
Image via Dog Eat Cake/Instagram
Every dog has his day — and what better way to start it than with doughnuts? Dog Eat Cake pet bakery in Boston ships these delightfully pet-friendly “doghnuts,” as they’re called, all over the U.S. (prices start at $2.75). Whether it’s a party for two (just you and your dog) or something more elaborate, they can work to accommodate you by thoughtfully planning your entire birthday bash right down to the “invites and bone display” — just BYOD (bring your own dog!).
If you’re all about some doughnut DIY, peanut butter bacon doughnuts do exist, and you can make them in your own kitchen with some guidance from Sunny Day Family. Either route you choose, we fully expect some taste-testing (by you!) for curiosity sake.
2. Order Instagram-ready dog decor
Image via Lily Bean Gift Shop/Etsy
Let’s be honest, it’s really all about the picture you share on social media — and, of course, the love you have for your cutie! While your dog may not fully understand the fact that his gorgeous face has been turned into a banner for his celebration, you — and your followers — definitely will.
Where to buy: Personalized dog photo banner ($27, Lily Bean Gift Shop/Etsy)
3. Choose a “paw-ty” theme and run with it
Image via Pearl the Maltipoochon/Instagram
Take it from the pros who do this for a living: Personalization is best, especially when choosing a dog birthday party theme.
“Many people love to include cute, sweet touches related to their specific pet when planning a dog birthday party or will schedule games to play [that] they know their dog loves, like bury the bone, Frisbee or pet swimming pool,” says Adina Slotsky, the founder and CEO of Hollywood Pet Parties, which provides dog event catering in the Los Angeles area.
When choosing your dog’s theme, you can go big or keep it simple with a few matching balloons and — of course — a ribbon for the guest of honor. This sweet birthday scene from Pearl the Maltipoochon is thematically paw-fect!
4. Treat your pup like royalty
Image via Modern Beast
For the pup that’s all pomp and circumstance, a canine crown is definitely in order. This 100% wool felt crown from Modern Beast — in a variety of fun colors! — will signal who reigns supreme on their birthday, and every day for that matter. It’s also a fun birthday style you can easily replicate on your own.
PrettyFluffy.com provides a free birthday crown template and suggests using felt, scrapbooking paper, skinny elastic, a hot glue gun and a fancy disappearing ink pen. Because in the age of Insta: details are everything!
Where to buy: Party Beast Crown ($14, Modern Beast)
5. Celebrate with custom chalkboard art
Image via Kodi Guccione/Instagram
This first-day-of-school trend has made its way to the furry set, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Not only is it a simple way to remember important milestones, it makes for seriously cute photo ops. How stinkin’ cute does Kira the dog look in this great snap by Kodi Guccione?
The internet is overflowing with pupcake (a.k.a. dog cupcake) recipes to suit every dog’s taste. Peanut butter, blueberry, pumpkin and more — if your dog celebrates most enthusiastically with their mouth, this may be the birthday option for you. Make a sheet of cupcakes for all your dog’s friends at the dog park (always ask owners if their dogs can partake!) or just make a DIY dog treat for the only mouth that matters. Gifts that come from your very own kitchen are filled with the most heart and are sure to get mucho Insta-hearts.
7. Order a “paw-ty” in a box
Image via Pawty in a Box
Pawty In a Box has several dog party packages to choose from — Shabby Chic Pawty, Unicorn Pawty, Pupstache Pawty, Black Tie Pawty and Disco Pawty. Take all the Pinterest-ing out of the party-planning equation and order the fun shipped right to you.

Have you ever thrown a birthday party for your dog? To break up the monotony of pandemic life, I have become a big fan of finding fun things to celebrate, which obviously included my dog Sirius’s birthday on December 26th.
For more content like this follow
When planning a pandemic puppy birthday party, it’s worth thinking about your dog’s favorite snacks, toys, and activities, and incorporating those things your dog enjoys most into your plans.
One of the wonderful things about dogs is that they don’t experience anticipation or disappointment in the same way that humans do — which means they won’t be sad if this year’s birthday isn’t a puppy picnic or another blowout bash. Your dog will be entirely focused entirely on the here and now — what will make your dog’s day truly special is the chance to spend quality time with you.
Here’s everything you need to know about planning a party for your dog:

When to Celebrate Your Dog’s Birthday
Dogs are always ready to party. If you aren’t sure exactly which day your dog was born, they can still have a birthday party. You can pick any day to celebrate, and claim it as your dog’s birthday moving forward. If you’re looking for a meaningful option, why not pick the day your dog came home for the first time — often referred to as a “gotcha day”? Gotcha days are special because not only is it a chance to celebrate your dog, but also the start of your relationship together.
How to Find a Dog-Friendly Birthday Cake
If you want to bake a cake, there are hundreds of recipes online for dog-safe cakes, and you can even order box mixes to make it easier.
Looking for something a little less DIY? Dog bakeries will create fresh-baked goods for your dog’s special day, and, just like a human bakery, often have premade cakes ready to be picked up.
If you don’t have a dog bakery in your local area or are avoiding going out because of the pandemic, you can also have dog-safe cakes sent directly to your home. I have ordered from Canine Cupcakes for one of my senior dogs’ birthday parties and was impressed with how cute the cakes were and how much my dogs liked them. Other popular options include Okra and Molly and Three Dog Bakery.

Where to Find Dog-Themed Party Decorations
When my partner and I planned Sirius’s birthday, we picked up balloons from a local store and took advantage of their contactless pickup option. (We told the cashier, “Our little girl is turning four today,” but didn’t mention our little princess is a 105-pound drooling Newfoundland. ) The balloons made for an adorable birthday photoshoot for Sirius’ Instagram and have lasted over a month (and counting)!
Not up for telling the party store you’re having a birthday party for your dog? You can buy dog-specific birthday party packs on Amazon that come complete with balloons, banners, party hats, bandanas, and other decorations for your dog’s special day.
Unlike other aspects of the party, decorations are for humans and not the dog. If chewed or eaten, decorations could be harmful to your dog, and it’s always a good idea to supervise your dog around balloons and any other decorations.

How to Dress Your Dog in a Birthday Outfit
Don’t forget to get your dog dressed up for their special day! Party hats come in multiple sizes, and the human ones will fit most dogs. There are also dog-specific hats, but it’s important to make sure your dog is comfortable with any headwear or article of clothing.
Start by following these easy steps — be sure to have plenty of treats on hand!
Show the outfit to your dog, and give them plenty of praise and treats. Let them sniff it and determine that it isn’t a threat.
Once they seem comfortable with the item, put it on your dog, while offering lots of treats and praise. Be sure to take it off quickly, so that your dog doesn’t get uncomfortable or impatient.
Continue this process over a series of training sessions, and slowly increase the amount of time your dog is wearing the outfit.
If at any point your dog is stressed or seems uncomfortable, take the outfit off immediately and start the process all over again during your next session. This will help you avoid a birthday meltdown, and keep the day stress-free and enjoyable for your dog.
If your dog is less excited to get dressed up, or you don’t have the time required to acclimate your dog to a new article of clothing, bandanas can be a great option. You can find cute birthday-themed, options across the internet, as well as gotcha-day bandanas on Etsy. Be sure to check the measurements of the bandana to determine what size will be right for your dog.

The Best Gifts to Give Dogs (and Dog Owners)
Dogs are no exception to loving birthday presents. If it’s possible and safe to do so in your area, it can be fun to bring your dog to a local pet supply store to pick their own gifts. If you’re looking for a gift that keeps on giving through the year, you can sign your dog up for a monthly subscription to BarkBox.
Want your dog to open his own presents? To help your dog learn to unwrap presents, you can slip a dog treat inside the wrapping paper or into the gift box. Show your dog the gift and encourage and praise them for any engagement with the box. Just make sure to supervise while your dog is unwrapping to make sure they don’t chew or otherwise eat any wrapping paper, boxes, and tape.
The Best Dog Birthday Party Activities
What better day than a birthday to help your dog doing things they enjoy the most? I like to take Sirius on a water-themed outing for her birthday, so we often visit the local river, the ocean, or schedule private swim time at our local dog pool.
If you’d rather keep things close to home, you and your dog still can have a great time. Let your dog dictate the direction you go on your walk, or allow them to really stop and smell things for as long as they want without being rushed along. It’s also a great time to play tug, fetch, or any other games that your dog enjoys. You could also set up a playground in your backyard or inside your house.

Your dog showers your family with unconditional love, affection, and loyalty, so return the favor with doggy-approved desserts and gifts at a special birthday event for your favorite pooch. Read on for some easy—and adorable—ways to make your dog’s birthday pawty memorable.

Choose the Perfect Present
@mojo_toypoodle / Instagram
Let’s face it: Our dogs are spoiled every single day, but their birthdays are actually a legitimate reason for some serious doggy spoilage! Whether your pooch prefers tennis balls, Kongs, or softer, homemade toys, there’s no better reason than its birthday to hit up the toy aisle at your pet store.
Another fun (and hilariously adorable) idea: Put your pup in a room with a ton of tennis balls and watch the excitement ensue.

Deck the Halls
@lilibundesigns / Instagram
You’ve helped your friends and family decorate for a million birthday parties, so it’s only appropriate that you decorate for your precious pooch’s birthday.
Balloons and streamers are standard birthday party decor, of course, but there are tons of doggy-themed ways to do it up, too. Make a cute, bone-shaped banner with construction paper and yarn or twine, toss dog-friendly confetti on all of the tables, and—if you’re a little bit craftier—make a chalkboard sign with the drink and snack menu.
If you’re not super crafty, you can buy doggy-themed banners online instead.

Make Dog-Friendly Pupcakes
@pawsweetbakery / Instagram
Believe it or not, lots of dog-friendly birthday cakes are human-friendly, too. All you need are some everyday baking ingredients, such as whole-wheat flour, baking soda, eggs, and applesauce or baby food, to make an amazing canine cake. Blend in shredded veggies such as carrots for a boost of nutrients and top it with cream cheese, peanut butter, or blended bananas.
Don’t feel like breaking out the baking gear? No dog has ever turned down peanut butter paired with his favorite treats.

Doggie Ice Cream
@hugosicecreamery / Instagram
Although real ice cream isn’t great for your dog’s gastrointestinal tract, it’s easy to whip up some puppy-approved ice cream at home with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Blend bananas with plain yogurt and creamy peanut butter, then freeze overnight to get the right consistency. You can also make puppy ice pops with one basic ingredient: Chicken or beef broth. Simply pour it into a mold and freeze.

DIY Some Cute Party Wear
@pawsweetbakery / Instagram
There’s literally nothing cuter in the world than a party hat on a puppy. It’s super-easy to make your own by gluing—be sure to choose the non-toxic kind—construction paper, poster board, or foam paper into a cone shape. Then, decorate with a permanent marker, pompoms, tassels, or any other accouterments that will make your pupper feel extra festive.
What if your dog won’t wear its party hat for longer than 20 seconds? Whip up a no-sew bandana with some cute fabric and fabric glue or hemming tape or a no-sew tutu with elastic and strips of tulle.
06

Invite the Entire Squad
@canine_excellence / Instagram
What’s a puppy party without your dog’s entire gang? Invite the crew over for a day of running, snacks, and sniffing in celebration of your furry family member’s birth.
Put out plenty of water and, if the other pet parents are OK with it, some snacks for paw-ty guests. Portioned dog treats, sliced frozen bananas, baby carrots, and green beans are all healthy snacks that are easy for dogs to pick up and munch on.
Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog and its guests while they’re playing. Even the best dog buds can have misunderstandings sometimes.

Don’t Forget About the Humans
Grilled Cheese Social
Aside from an afternoon of cute dog shenanigans, you have to give your human guests some incentive to come to the puppy party, too. Enter, delicious party foods and drinks. Whip up a few party favorites like chicken wings, spinach, and artichoke dip, and deviled eggs, serve beer, wine, or—if you’re really into the party theme—a custom cocktail in honor of your doggy’s day.
08

Set Up a Photo Booth
@wagbooth / Instagram
Strike a paws! Make your own photo booth backdrop, grab some props (that your guests may or may not tolerate for a few seconds), and get ‘gramming! Have your guests upload their photos to Instagram or Facebook with a custom hashtag (every happening event has one!), so you can see all of the fun in one place.
09
of 10
Play Games
@caseythecollie / Instagram
The best part of these dog-friendly party games is that they’re actually basic training techniques disguised as fun! Make sure you have plenty of toys (and treats) for games like hide-and-seek and fetch, which help dogs practice commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “fetch.”
If you really want to take your puppy party games to the next level, try a round of Snoopy Says. Like the human version, Simon Says, participants listen to commands and make certain movements. The last pupper standing wins!

Make Paw-ty Favors for Guests

What’s a birthday party without a jam-packed favor bag? Include some small toys, such as a tennis ball or chew toy, a handful of dog bones or jerky sticks, a party hat or bandana and, of course, some on-the-go treats for the humans, too.

6 Party Planning Steps for Your Dog Birthday Party
Design: PrettyMeJoy
It’s hard not to have a smile on your face when planning a dog birthday party for your precious pet and their puppy pals. Still, you might be wondering where to begin. Here’s how to take your idea from start to finish, with a guide to everything you’ll need to say “happy birthday” to your pooch.
Choose the Date and Time
Before you can jump into the party planning fun, you’ll need to set a date for your dog’s birthday party. If you’re not sure about the exact date of your pet’s birth, it doesn’t matter — you can throw a party on the anniversary date of when they joined your family instead. If that day doesn’t work for you, move it to the next weekend or any date that works for you and your party guests — just like you would with anyone else’s celebration.
Find a Fitting Venue
There aren’t as many venues that’ll let you host a dog birthday party as there are for us humans, but you still have plenty of great places to consider.
One of the best venues for dog birthday parties is your own backyard. It’s easy to get everything set up just the way you want it, with no restrictions on how many people you can have around or damage deposits to worry about. (Hint: Check out our guide on hosting a great backyard party.)
Another great venue is your local dog park — especially if you’re fine with any passing dog owners and their pets joining in on the fun. You could also check with your local doggy daycare to see if parties are an option.
Choose a Dog Birthday Party Theme
As with any celebration, a lot of the fun comes from the theme you choose. With something as exciting as a dog birthday party, you can really go wild, quirky, or colorful with your theme and the birthday party supplies you choose.
Some of our favorite dog birthday party themes include rainbow fun, doggy decorations, or adorable dog characters from your favorite movies. You could even take inspiration from your pet’s interests and throw them a celebration around their favorite TV show, treat, or toy.
For your dog’s first birthday, you could even style the celebration just like you would for a baby’s big moment — with a chalkboard sign, personalized outfit, and cake smash.
Plan Some Fun Activities and Party Games
Every birthday bash needs a bit of entertainment, whether it’s in the form of games or activities. For your pooch’s party, consider having a basket full of tennis balls or frisbees to play fetch, a doggy obstacle course, a kiddie pool where they can splash, or other fun dog toys.
With so much fun happening among your furry friends, don’t forget to include some activities for the adults and kids too. Set out some outdoor party games like limbo, ring toss, and cornhole — just remember they’re likely to get interrupted by some very excited pups. (But that’s part of the fun!)
Serve Up Tasty Treats
There’s nothing dogs love more than food (except you, of course), and a dog birthday party is the perfect excuse to let them indulge in delicious treats. Serve up a selection of treats and snacks for your doggy pals as well as some yummy food for your human guests.
Specially prepared dog treats are great, but if you’re planning to serve any homemade treats, always double-check first that the ingredients are safe for dogs to eat. If you can, keep all food items dog-friendly — including the human food. After all, if it smells tasty, there’s a good chance those clever pooches will find a way to get to it.
Invite Their Doggy Pals
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Once you’ve got the basics figured out and have some ideas in mind for your furry friend’s celebration, you can start building your guest list and sending invites out to all the lovely pet parents you know.
You can’t go wrong with Greenvelope’s selection of dog birthday party invites. They’re the perfect way to invite pals to a puppy birthday party. Plus, your invitees can easily RSVP — saving you the hassle of calling and texting everyone to confirm.
Fun Dog Birthday Party Ideas
We love the idea of throwing a dog party to celebrate the four-legged birthday boy or girl! You can have so much fun with this sweet event. Here are some of our favorite dog birthday party ideas to inspire your own bash.
Serve Pupcakes
Every birthday party needs one thing — cake! While you need to make sure you use a dog-friendly cake mix or recipe, there’s no reason why your special pup can’t join in with this delicious tradition.
To make your own cake at home, all you’ll need is a tasty dog birthday cake recipe that uses safe ingredients like peanut butter. If you don’t fancy baking, take a stroll to your local dog bakery to see what they have available. Make sure there’s an equally sweet treat for your human guests too — dog-themed cupcakes are an adorable way to match the occasion.
Dress Up Your Dog in Something Cute
What better excuse to dress up your doggy than their special day? If your beloved pet will tolerate an outfit — even if it’s just to snap a few cute photos — get one ready for a super sweet birthday moment.
Go wild and have fun with an adorable suit and bowtie, or a rainbow party hat for the birthday pup. You could keep it old-school with a bright, patterned bandana around the neck or an adorable flower crown. If you really want to go all out, order a costume and get them all dressed up as if it were Halloween. Again, only do this if your four-legged companion is OK with donning clothes and accessories. You want your puppers to be happy and comfy!
Stage a Photoshoot
Even if your dog isn’t all dressed up, staging a photoshoot is a lovely way to capture the moment. Not only is it fun for you and others to get involved, but you’ll end up with some fabulous snaps to look back on.
Set up a DIY photo booth as you would for any other event, with a colorful sheet of fabric, shiny backdrop, or vibrant wall decked out with party decorations. Then, gather some cute props for you and your furry friends — think bright hats, bowties, treats, dog toys, and tennis balls. Snap away as your beloved pet and their pals sit still (or don’t) for their photoshoot.
Create Doggy Goody Bags for the Guests
It’s tradition to send your guests home with a little memento from the party, and you can do the same for your furry friends. Create fun doggy bags filled with treats, toys, and goodies for your four-legged pals to enjoy.
While you’re making up goody bags for your dog’s pals, don’t forget about their owners too. Create an adorable puppy party bag filled with party favors — perhaps a themed cupcake, stationery, or pin to remember your time together.

Let’s face it: our dogs are spoiled for a lot of toys. But isn’t a pet’s birthday enough reason to give him another one? Whether your dog loves tennis balls, congas or stuffed animals, his birthday is a great reason to go to the pet store for another toy!
Here’s another hilariously adorable idea: take your pet into a room full of tennis balls. See how he is at first confused, and then delighted with so many balls!
Decorate the room for a party
You must have helped your friends many times to decorate the room for all sorts of holidays. Believe me, decorating your home for a pet’s birthday will be more than appropriate!
The standard set is balloons and serpentine. And there are many themed dog ways to decorate the holiday. For example, you can order a nice banner in the shape of a bone. Or build it yourself from plywood and twine. Scatter confetti all over the tables. Or another tricky move – make a board with a festive menu.
If you don’t rely on your imagination or you don’t have enough time, you can order kits for decorating a dog party online.
Make cakes that both humans and dogs can eat
Believe it or not, you can make a cake for a dog’s birthday that people will love and that dogs won’t mind. Just use the right ingredients to make it: whole wheat flour, baking soda, eggs, applesauce, or baby food. Add chopped vegetables (like carrots) for a more nutritious treat. And for decoration, you can take cream cheese, peanut butter or bananas.
Don’t feel like baking something? No dog will ever turn down peanut butter topped with their favorite treats.
Dog ice cream
Another possible birthday treat for your pet is dog ice cream. Simple “human” ice cream isn’t great for your pet’s gastrointestinal tract, so make a special treat for your four-legged guests with the right ingredients. What’s more, you don’t need anything. Just mix bananas with regular yogurt (no sugar or additives), top with creamy peanut butter. Then freeze the mixture – overnight it will acquire the correct consistency. You can also make dog candies with chicken or beef broth. Just pour it into molds and freeze.
Dress up your pet for a party
Put a cap on your dog for a party – there is no sweeter sight in the world. A festive hat is easy to make yourself by gluing it in the form of a paper cone. The cap can be painted with a marker, decorated with a pompom, tassels or any other accessories. Thus, you will make the holiday even brighter and more fun!
What if the pet refuses to wear his party hat for more than 20 seconds? You can make a tutu skirt for the birthday girl with tulle elastic bands. And tie a smart scarf around the neck of the boy who is the hero of the occasion.
Invite all your four-legged friends
What’s a dog party without your dog’s whole gang of friends? Invite them all to a birthday party, arrange games for them, organize treats (if the hosts don’t mind). Let everyone have fun in honor of such a wonderful event!
Provide plenty of water and treats in portions: frozen sliced bananas, baby carrots and green beans are healthy snacks that dogs can easily eat.
Just don’t leave your pet and his guests unattended! Even in the most friendly dog company, fights happen.
Don’t forget about human guests
Coming to a dog’s birthday party should also be an incentive for people. Don’t forget to prepare treats for them too. It can be chicken wings, salads, canapes and sandwiches. What’s a party without drinks? Especially in honor of the birthday, you can make a cocktail.
Organize a photo zone
Create a themed background, add props – let your guests take pictures and post their photos on Instagram or Facebook with the appropriate hashtag (every significant event has its own hashtag). So you and your friends can see all the fun in one place.
Fun games
Dog games always have an element of learning. Make sure you have plenty of toys (and treats) for games like hide-and-seek or finding hidden things. This pastime helps dogs practice different commands: “sit”, “place”, “come”, “bring”, etc.
Want to take your dog party to the next level? Play the game “Snoopy says . ..”. Let the leader give commands, and the dogs follow them. Who executed the command last or did not do it at all, loses.
Give gifts to guests
What’s a birthday without a bag full of gifts? Give your four-legged guests some cute little things: small toys (tennis ball or chewing machine), a handful of dog snacks or dried sticks, a party cap or a neckerchief. And people can be presented with goodies – snacks that they can eat on the go.

Christmas and New Year’s Eve
Ideas
January 02, 2018
“All dogs celebrate Christmas” is not only the name of a touching cartoon, but also a real fact. Private parties, charity meetings, photo shoots, receptions, mountains of gifts. All this for eared, tailed, barking pets. On the eve of the year of the yellow dog, let’s recall some interesting events for four-legged dogs.
Anastasia Makarova
editor
Everything for your favorite pets
The hosts are willing to pay big sums to please their pets. For example, Englishwoman Catty Harris has three Boston Terriers Bo, Suti and Noodle . The hostess loves them very much and indulges them all year round, but she especially tries at Christmas. The three terriers get Christmas stockings full of presents, holiday collars, sweaters and a hearty holiday dinner. For elegant pets, their “mommy” arranges a Christmas photo shoot. According to the English newspapers, an old lady spent £3,500 on a dog holiday on Christmas Day alone.
Another dog lady Elena Muller literally “fills up” her dog Lola with gifts. Lola lives well and during the year, she even has her own bank account. And for Christmas, Elena gives expensive toys and dog clothes to her pet. For the holiday, the dog got neither more nor less than 68 gifts – this is exactly 68 times more than Mrs. Muller’s own son got.
Jack Russell Terrier Elvis New Year coincides with his birthday – January 1, so the holidays that the owner arranges for him are particularly pompous. Several dozen guests (relatives and friends of Elvis) are invited to the party, and invitations are sent out starting in November. One of the last parties took place at the golf club. Elvis flaunted her in a doggy golf suit – knickers and a cap. The host spent about $5,000 on the party.
Dog shelter owners Doggie Lodge in Ireland Adele O’Meara and Thomas Malone got creative. They arranged for 45 of their guests a meeting with a dog Santa Claus. Thomas himself played the role of a good wizard, who dressed up in a costume and came to the dogs with a bag of delicious gifts. Santa Thomas took a picture with every homeless dog, and the cute Christmas photos were posted on the Internet in the hope that they will help the dogs find owners. After the photo shoot, the guests of the shelter were treated to a Christmas party with delicious treats.
Dog Charity Balls
In addition to private parties, Christmas dog balls are popular in all major cities around the world. They are satisfied either by dog breeders’ clubs, or simply by dog lovers. Usually, dogs are invited to such events along with the owners, and a ticket for a dog costs no less than for an owner. Yes, and entertainment is more designed for four-legged. At such balls, there are buffets with dog food, beauty contests, a competition for the best helper of Santa Claus. And, of course, a meeting with Santa Claus himself. It is not known whether dogs make wishes when they meet Santa, but there is some benefit from such balls. As a rule, these are charity parties, the proceeds of which are transferred to help dog shelters or other charitable organizations.
We also have such events. For example, this year Moscow hosted “Bul-Bal Carnival” , which was organized by the well-known bulldog blogger Oscar (photo from the bulldog’s Instagram). At the ball there were bulldogs dressed in carnival costumes, and a dog table, and a photoset with Santa Claus.
Quadruped suits
Christmas photo sessions, by the way, are one of the favorite pastimes of dog breeders. Kelly and Zach Furr hosted a Christmas costume party for their pets. A photo of their eight dogs in festive outfits sitting at the Christmas table gained tens of thousands of likes, and after them, hundreds of people began to post photos of their dogs in social networks and blogs as deer, gnomes, and even wise men.
But the largest Christmas dog event is held in Japan. They organize a fashion show for dogs New Year Dog Party. Models in leading designer outfits take to the catwalk with dogs that are dressed just as fashionably as humans. In Japan, dog fashion is very popular, and many dog owners follow fashion trends and update their pet’s wardrobe more often than their own.
It is not very clear whether the dogs themselves like all this, but the owners definitely get a lot of pleasure. If you are from the same breed of people, and are ready to throw a cool party for your pet in the year of the dog, that’s great! Just when choosing a loft, be sure to ask if the owners of the loft are dog-friendly.
Serpentine of ideas – Scenario of the New Year’s holiday-2018 “Dog fun” // New Year’s entertainment program scenario for meeting friends of the year of the dog
When celebrating the Year of the Dog with family or close friends, you can arrange an unusual party by inviting guests to visit the “dog’s skin”. To do this, in the design of the holiday and the scenario of the New Year’s entertainment program, it is enough to focus on the declared topic. For example, at the entrance, everyone is given a headband with the image of a dog or with foam ears, cards with the names of those invited in the form of bones are placed on the table, and for entertainment, contests and games are taken related to the symbol of the year, the Dog. We offer one of the options – script for the New Year’s holiday-2018 “Dog fun” , the ideas of which can be taken as a basis for organizing such a party.
1. Hide paper bones throughout the room. Throughout the New Year’s Eve, periodically announce a minute in search of food until all supplies are found. The prize is given to the one who found the most bones.
2. Determine the best student in training by blowing the whistle from time to time, after which it is necessary to take a certain, pre-announced pose. The most attentive gets a medal. Whoever has more of them at the end of the holiday is an excellent worker in training.
3. Invite the guests to quickly divide into groups: “smooth-haired” (in clothes made of smooth fabric) stand to the right of the presenter, “shaggy” (in knitted clothes, with fringe, etc.) to the left.
4. Lay out on the floor (in a straight line, in a circle, in a zigzag) cardboard footprints with three colors of numbers from 1 to 11 written down. Three “hounds” choose the color of the trail that each will follow. Task: moving on your haunches and turning over the tracks (if not yours, put them in place), collect your own as quickly as possible.
5. Players approach the obstacle lying on the floor from different sides. Holding a man’s handkerchief in their teeth, without the help of hands they pull the enemy to their side.
6. Determine among those present the most “tailed” (all kinds of pendants on clothes, a tail of hair, dangling earrings, etc. are counted).
7. Invite guests to eat corn sticks without touching the bowl.
8. Ask those present, taking a brush in their mouth, to write “woof” on a sheet of paper with gouache without the help of their hands.
9. There are 3 prizes in boxes on the table, guests are a meter away from the table. The facilitator reads the text. As soon as he says the word “woof”, the players must take the prize. The inattentive get out of the fight. Text: “The puppy woke up when it was already dawn. “How nicely I slept,” he thought, and yawned loudly. Deciding to take a walk before breakfast, the puppy pushed open the door with his paw. A cold frosty wind burned his nose. The puppy recoiled in surprise and loudly … sneezed. Thinking about going for a walk, he decided to refresh himself. He was already pretty tired of his food, so the puppy ate the cat’s breakfast with pleasure, which he really liked. Licking his lips, he lifted his muzzle. In front of him stood the cat whose breakfast he had just eaten. The puppy said … “thank you” and with the usual “woof” rushed after the cat.
10. Give paper bones to the winners of competitions. At the end of the evening, give the owner of the largest number of bones a soft toy – a dog.
11. Before twelve o’clock, put on socks of the same color on your feet and on your hands. For each blow of the chimes with the cry of “Woof!” stretch the “paws” forward.
12. When leaving, each guest will find a wish card in his pocket.
I wish you more and more
You did not know the dog’s lot.
I wish you to run gallop
On the trail of happiness and success.
I wish you everywhere and always
Playfully do big things.
May it always be on your bones
Both meat and caviar lie.
I wish to know in advance in any business:
“The dog is buried where”, what awaits you.
Let your voice be heard everywhere,
Decisive will be your reward.
“Having eaten a dog” in everyday ups and downs,
Know, finally, the joys of the world.
Whatever happens, whatever happens –
Keep your nose downwind and your tail against.
Fortune’s favorite, my dear friend,
You smell for good luck do not lose yours.
Let it be every day like the New Year:
Hair on end, tail up and full mouth.

Competitions for the Year of the Dog: ideas for a family holiday “Man is a friend to a dog” | Holiday again!
Regular readers of the site “Snova Prazdnik” have been appreciating one important quality in me for many years now. I, as it turned out, know how to charge with inspiration and wake up fantasy.
I hope it will be the same with this selection of contests for the Year of the Dog. If you don’t mind, write ideas in the comments so that everyone can enjoy the results of collective work!
As usual, all tasks are simple and kind, children and adults can participate at the same time.
I tried to play with all the dog associations that came to my mind by the time this article was written. Most often, I make additions before 15:00 on December 31, so I recommend that you visit the page again before the festive night.
Dog waltz or “I love you, that’s a plus”
A win-win family dance at the very beginning of the holiday, in which couples are selected by lot. Every year we never cease to be amazed at how harmoniously the dancers are selected: a 70-year-old grandfather and a one-year-old granddaughter, a grandmother with a 16-year-old grandson, a mother with her younger sister, a father with his father …
in the picture (cards can be put under the plates before the start of the holiday, or simply offer to draw lots from the hat). Dachshund with dachshund, bulldog with bulldog, poodle with poodle!
These couples remain faithful to each other during the entire New Year’s party. Together they not only dance during the disco, but also take pictures, participate in competitions.
If someone did not get a partner (an odd number of guests), put him third in the pair in which the smallest guest of the holiday turned out to be. Kids go to bed early even on New Year’s Eve.
Puppy Delight
Personally, my puppies are delighted with all sorts of special effects acceptable for an apartment. These can be desktop cold fountains, spring crackers with different fillers and special pistols with cartridges that shoot serpentine and confetti.
As a target, you can offer a small spare artificial Christmas tree without decorations. Just give free rein … In a couple of minutes it will be covered with paper springs, fake money, petals and sparkles.
Puppy delight-2
We are holding a win-win lottery. To do this, children can collect personal belongings of guests in one box before the start of the holiday, and small gifts in another box. You can even not wrap them in wrapping paper, it’s more interesting.
Place two children with their backs to each other. One pulls out a gift at random, the second at the same moment – an item from another box. New Year’s candle – to mom (she handed over lipstick), a chameleon mug – to dad (he threw a tie into the box), etc.
We distribute the same prizes for diligence at the end of the lottery, as kids often react sharply to all these random lucks.
101 Dalmatians and many other breeds
This is a standard guessing game in which the guest who names the closest number to the correct answer wins (usually the host shows a transparent jar of change and gives the prize to the one who names the amount most accurately).
We will show you a picture with dogs (any breed can be). Five seconds is enough, let them guess!
If the prize is nice, the activity of the guests is very high.
There are 104 dogs in this picture. You can download HERE.
Photo gun
This competition is dedicated to the beloved Prostokvashinsky Sharik and his photo gun.
Have a few guests open their smartphone camera and get ready to take photos. As hares, for which you have to “run for half a day to give a photo”, we will have children.
Stretch the blanket on both sides at a height of 70-80 cm from the floor (there will be something like a screen). Children in hare masks hide behind a screen and jump sharply for a split second, then hide back. How often it is worth appearing in the frame is the choice of the hares themselves.
Adjust the height of the screen according to the ears of the largest hare. When they are sitting, they should not be seen.
Take 10 photos per minute (if more, the first 10 shots count). The one whose photogun caught the most hares wins. Prize to him!
During the “hunt” we turn on New Year’s music.
To make your photos different and funny, show the children funny hand movements and expressive facial expressions in advance.
Catdog
Catdog is a cartoon character with the image of a cat on one side and a dog on the other. We don’t care much about how they get along in one body, the main thing is that they complete the New Year’s task together.
We select pairs of participants, suggest them to do one simple thing together. To do this, you need to sit next to each other, hug.
The right hand of one and the left hand of the other sculpt this same cat from a burdock constructor (fold a paper airplane, make a dog out of a snake puzzle, weave a pigtail, tie a bow on the box, dress a doll, sculpt dumplings or dumplings, etc.)
This must be some kind of action that is usually performed with two hands. How difficult it is for the participants and funny for the audience…
“Yes, I actually ate the dog”
This is a mini-interview with a comic microphone, which guests give to the host of the holiday, sitting at the table. Round. Everyone needs to remember some business in which this year “ate the dog”.
The brightest answer must be confirmed visually (the presenter does not inform about this in advance, of course). Eat a dog. Chocolate. 55 g. For everyone.
“Dog in Boots”
This is perhaps the most “singing” dog cartoon, I hint at a karaoke battle with its name. Personally, I prepare guests for a performance, I suggest deciding on a number in a couple of weeks so that there is time for rehearsals. Only then will people enter in time and sing as artistically as possible, without peering into the running line with the text.
Here’s what I remember from the hits about our symbol of the year: “Man to the dog’s friend”, “Lucy”, “The dog named Druzhok disappeared”, “Everyone knows it (from the film “Adventures of Electronics”, all hits from the cartoon “Dog in boots”, “A dog can bite”, “Walking with Doggy” (Lolita once sang)
You can also remember the “Blue Puppy” … A strange attitude towards this color tarnished the reputation of the great cartoon musical, but the essence is there kind, and the music is gorgeous.0281
Win-win “Crocodile” on the theme of our symbol of the year. Each guest must show with movements an object from a dog’s life. Here is the first thing that comes to mind: a collar, a muzzle, a bone, a walk with the owner, a booth, a chain, a haircut, a bowl, a leash, a breed, fleas, a team, training, a dog show.
Oh, how hard it is to show some of these words… Try it in front of a mirror!
There are also many comic poems about dogs on the Internet, here is one of them, I am going to learn it with my son:
I decided to buy a dog. And I want to ask everyone: What is the name of the breed, What do I dream of buying? To cost three rubles, and have lunch every three days! But at the exhibition any Champion title is MINE! To be scary on the street, To guard the car, But at the same time (very important!) I didn’t take up space! To be very fluffy, But not to scratch my fur!
So that he could before the threshold Wipe all the paws himself! To have a switch in it: Click! – plays. He clicked – sleeping, So that I would never know, What and where the dogs hurt … To write once a week, and still know how to fly, Walking around the yard together in puddles so as not to step on! So that he doesn’t bark loudly in his ears, So that he doesn’t gnaw at his slippers … THIS would be such a dog with pleasure I would take!
The dog named Druzhok is missing
The dog (plush, plastic, edible or any other) needs to be hidden, and then the children have a small quest of three steps. Twice they find a clue, the third time – the dog itself or several dogs according to the number of children at the holiday.
Variants of riddles:
Ordinary riddles (for children from 3 to 6 years old), the solution of which is pieces of furniture or household appliances. For example, we give the first riddle in verse: “The house is windowless and closed, But inside it is cold. If a cat is sitting next to it, then the cat is hungry . .. “. Children guess the word “refrigerator”, find the second riddle there: “He has a big back, And on it he allows you to write and draw, And sculpt, and cut …” It is clear that the third clue is somewhere near the desk. Again they find the text: “Everyone is happy for her on the New Year, Although her outfit is prickly …”. Children find dogs under the tree, of course.
Mini-quests (for children aged 7-11). This is a series of cipher puzzles that will also lead to a festive find. It’s all a long time to describe here, take the appropriate tasks from my free scripts for children’s quests.
Beethoven and others
This task is for quick-witted lovers of well-known dog names. We will guess the nicknames from the pictures.
For example, the picture shows a balloon. The players remember a dog named Sharik (he is in the “Heart of a Dog”, in the cartoons “A Kitten Named Woof” and “Prostokvashino”).
Is there a squirrel and an arrow in the picture? Well, yes, these are the cosmonaut dogs Belka and Strelka.
More: mittens – a fictitious dog Mittens, a portrait of Beethoven – a charming St. Bernard with such a nickname, a picture with a big tooth – White Fang, a plump middle-aged woman – a dog Aunt (“Kashtanka”), a pirate – a smart dog from the cartoon “Pirate’s Notes”.
I recommend reading the comments to this article, where kind people have added a bunch of ideas.
Mongrel dog
There are breeds of dogs that everyone knows. There are some that only lovers of these animals know about.
We call two participants. In the right hand we give an orange (meaning the word “Yes”), in the other – a pickle on a fork (the word no). This is my example, of course. Just two different objects with which players express their opinion about the real existence of such dogs.
We read out a list that contains the real names of dog breeds and three fictitious words. To the one who recognizes the non-pedigree words, a prize!
Here are the real ones: Alaskan Malamute, Basenji, Brial, Boerboel, Keeshond, Kurzhaar, Italian Greyhound, Miniature Schnauzer, Shih Tsu, Japanese Chin. It is correct to raise an orange here (“Yes, there is such a dog”)
Come up with three things: Siberian Losharik, Tut-on-ham, Piglet Terrier. Here we raise a cucumber (“No, there is no such breed”)
Mix words to confuse the participants.
Trained dogs
To participate in the task, we take all the children and one adult (for example, a large man). For a minute we take them to the next room and talk about a special signal system.
You will show these signals to them in different sequences behind the backs of the audience, and “trained dogs”, looking at you, will carry out commands.
For example:
• unclench and clench fists – you have to jump and dance; • join your hands in the form of a large ring – stand in a round dance • press your palm to your lips – it’s time to run and kiss your mother (an adult large man should also have a mother at the holiday) • shake your hands – everyone falls to the floor and jerks their arms and with your feet • fold your hands under your cheek and close your eyes – everyone freezes in the position in which they saw your team • hug yourself with your arms – dogs rush to each other with hugs and so on in different sequences to the music.
Like a cat with a dog
This is a relay race, two teams participate – cats and dogs. You need to compete for something worthwhile … For a sausage.
In a standard room with a laid table, it is difficult to arrange an active competition, so a team competition for speed is needed.
For example, give each team clothespins, string, and individual cardboard letters that make up the phrase “Happy New Year” (I usually buy and cut an inexpensive ready-made garland). Put the teams opposite each other so that they can see each other’s progress.
Teams of dogs and cats must quickly hang the letters in the correct order.
Guide
Guide dogs are very smart and trained dogs that help blind people. Admiration and low bow to these animals.
At the New Year’s home party, you can play a fun obstacle course. Arrange plastic bottles of water on the floor, stretch a string between chairs, arrange piles of soft toys, bags, etc. Let the first player see all this, evaluate the difficulty of the route. Then blindfold him and let him go through the entire obstacle course, listening to the commands of the “guide”: “Now raise your right leg, step to the left by 40 cm, walk sideways with small steps, bend down, etc.”
We show the second player a new obstacle course, but while he is being blindfolded, quietly remove all objects from the path. The Guide continues to give recommendations in the same vein: “Get down, take a big step, to the right, to the right, to the right, to get down.” Watching a player make his way through invisible barriers is funny.
Dog in the hay
I have prepared 2 sheets of A4 size for you. There are frames from films and cartoons, places to record the names of these masterpieces.
Divide the guests into groups of 4-5 people (each team has 2 pieces of paper, 16 pictures in total, who will give more answers).
These films and cartoons: “101 Dalmatians”, “Lady and the Tramp”, “Three from Prostokvashino”, “Once upon a time there was a Dog”, “Bobik visiting Barbos”, “Scooby-Doo”, “Kashtanka”, ” Bring Rex Back”, “Dog in Boots”, “Blue Puppy”, “Squirrel and Strelka”, “Pluto”, “Heart of a Dog”, “Dog in the Manger”, “Hachiko”, “Come to Me, Mukhtar”, “K- 9”, “Mumu”, “Baby from Beverly Hills”, “White Bim Black Ear”, “Dog Mongrel and an unusual cross”, “Beethoven”, etc.
Divide the guests at the table into two teams, show the frame one by one, count the points. In order not to think for a long time, at the expense of “three” give a sound signal-bell. Prize for the winning team!
Download from my Yandex Disk for free.
Heart of a Dog
Today’s fashionable creative workshops are also held at home. There are many wooden blanks in the form of dogs in needlework stores, but you can do without them.
For example, I will bake gingerbread cookies in the form of hearts (no connection with Bulgakov’s “Heart of a Dog”, I just use a popular phrase) and I will offer children to paint gingerbread cookies with sugar pencils.
Voice!
All guests can sit at the table, and ask one child over 4 years old to come “on stage” and turn away. He must guess relatives and friends by voice, but they will not speak, but bark at different dog voices. Roughly, squeaky, drawn out or abruptly, with anger and joy. The voice needs to be changed as much as possible to confuse the player.
Naturally, the child must know all the guests by name.
Symbol of the year or an amazing transformation
The essence is this. Place all guests in a circle with their backs to each other and distribute opaque bags with different accessories and outfits. Of course, it will be spectacular if everyone has bright New Year’s accessories: caps, hats, masks, ears, wigs, unusual glasses, etc.
If you haven’t bought all this beauty for all the guests, collect baby bibs and nipples, snorkeling masks, kitchen aprons, shower caps, etc.
The main thing is that one of the bags should contain a dog mask!
On command, the guests quickly take out the contents of the packages, put them on and wait for the host’s command to turn their faces in a circle and admire each other. It’s fun!
The guest who got the role of the symbol of the year goes to the center of the circle and shows the dance of the lucky one)).
Name GAV?
Comic guessing the item in the box. In principle, you can simply put all the guests in a circle, and a box with a surprise in the center. Let everyone take turns expressing their assumptions, and the prize goes to the one who is closest to the truth, and somehow guessed that there was a mug with a picture of a dog, for example.
Another more difficult option. Say that you have hidden an object that has the syllable “GAV”. There are few such words in the Russian language, I remembered the following: gavot, harbor, agave, Hawaiian, tomahawk. Of all the above, you can put in a box only a small hatchet, reminiscent of an Indian tool. Tomahawk.
For children and adults, only one word with the syllable “woof” comes to mind in the first seconds of the draw. No one speaks out loud, but everyone is having fun.
Paw Patrol
Uh… I only came up with a name for this competition)).
Blues of Stray Dogs
If among my readers there are representatives of the generation that loves and remembers the hits of the beat quartet “Secret”, this New Year must include this blues. Lay the children down, sit comfortably in a chair and listen!
More home party ideas
Check out collections of my past years. Here and there you will find repetitions, but you will definitely find a lot of new and interesting things:
A selection of inexpensive fun prizes for children with links to the store Prizes for adults for participating in competitions Scenario of a New Year’s quest for children 4-8 years old (home holiday) Sweet gifts toys-dogs for children New Year in the family circle Children’s New Year contests up to 16 and older All children’s competitions together HERE Scenarios of past years: Year of the Horse, Year of the Goat, Year of the Monkey, Year of the Rooster, Year of the Pig, Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox, “Year of the Tiger”.
Help!
This is my traditional request. If you have an interesting idea, write in the comments. We will collect all the funniest things and spend the New Year at home so that the children will remember our efforts 30 and 40 years later with warmth and joy.
Happy New Year everyone! Irina Panasyan, the author of the Again Holiday project.

Choose a place
To celebrate your dog’s birthday First you have to choose a place. To do this, you will need to consider a few things. For example, the weather, the size of your dog, the number of guests, etc…

Invitations
After you have chosen the place where you will celebrate your dog’s birthday, you should think about guests and invitations . First, you must make a list of your invited guests. You will then need to select a date since you have already selected a location.
It is best to invite neighborhood dogs that your dog already knew and a pet you are friends with. This will prevent conflict between the dogs as they are already familiar with each other and of course make it easier for you to observe the dogs…

Dog birthday cake and food
Every big birthday party must have food So it’s important to think about what food that will provide for dogs and their human companions. Be sure to ask your companions if your dogs are allergic or sensitive to any type of food. You must also keep banned dog food in your account.
Once you know what not to feed your dog and your guests, it’s time to plan your party meal. Please note that the party will last no more than 2 hours. Thus, a small gift for dogs will be enough, as we do not want to overfeed them and upset their stomach. you can do dog pie muffins or homemade dog biscuits.

How to Give Your Dog the Best Birthday Party
Dog birthday parties, once rare, are now a common way to give extra love to furry family members. We’ve put together a plethora of ideas to help you throw the best party for your four-legged friend.
Select a topic.
An integral part of any animal party is games and entertainment, and a good theme will only contribute to the fun. Pun lovers can take inspiration from pop culture. How about Puppy Wars with a Star Wars-inspired space setting, Hawkingham Palace where pets will be treated like royalty, or the Wizard’s paws? We are sure that the holiday will be incredibly funny.
Make a guest list.
The more the better, right? Yes, but not in this case. Think carefully about who to invite. It will not be so easy to cope with a large crowd of four-legged guests. It’s one thing if the party takes place on the beach or in the park, where there is enough space for all the animals, but for a small party in the backyard, 5-7 dogs will be enough. To avoid fights, all pets must know each other in advance. If your dog is not too friendly, then this is not a reason to refuse a holiday. Just invite some hosts. Your pet will always be pleased to be the center of attention.
Send out invitations.
As with any party, dog birthday invitations will give guests some idea of what to expect at the party. It will also help you communicate the basic information to those who are new to these activities. Emphasize the importance of the “plus one” guests, i.e. the doggy “mommies and daddies”. And remember, it’s the pet’s birthday, so the invitations need to be styled accordingly. Turn on your imagination or look for ideas from illustrators.
Set ground rules.
First of all, just accept that things can go wrong. In an unusual environment, even well-mannered dogs can get mad. The best option would be to have a party on the street: this way you will save yourself a headache due to possible dog fights. Whether you’re gathering in a city park or your own backyard, make sure the area is securely locked. The last thing you want to see is the dogs running off wherever they please. To help maintain cleanliness, hand out garbage bags to pet owners at the very beginning of the holiday or designate places where they can be taken if necessary. It would also be a good idea to equip a special place to provide assistance. Put the food higher so that greedy pussies can’t reach out and steal anything. While you can hang out with your friends for as long as you want, plan your formal party events for at least two hours. During this time, both you and the guests will get tired.
Make a cake especially for dogs.
You’ve never seen true joy unless you’ve seen a dog pounce on a cake. Human sweets, even without harmful additives, will not work here: too much sugar. Create substitutes for human favorites by mixing a variety of healthy ingredients. Some beetroot powder, chocolate substitute, bananas, and hello Red Velvet! Serving tip: Make cupcakes the same size so that all pets have enough. Keep in mind that someone may have already fed their dog, so simply arrange a few bowls of water and stock up on other healthy treats.
Design a menu for people.
Truth be told, you can make the same meals you would at any regular party, but it will be a lot more fun if you add a dog theme to the starters. Interesting options would be homemade hot dogs and dog food bowls instead of simple plates. You can also add fun details to the serving, like a paw-shaped dish or spotted napkins. As for drinks, fill the bar with everything you need to mix Salt Dog and Greyhound cocktails. Wherever food is located, post warning signs telling guests not to feed other people’s dogs without permission. Yes, it is very difficult to resist those big pleading eyes, but you never know who has an allergy or a special diet.
Add themed embellishments.
The theme of the holiday speaks for itself, but the main trick is to make it completely different from an ordinary human party. Put cardboard dog ears on top of balloons, make a paw-shaped piñata (a hollow toy filled with treats), set up a doghouse-like photo booth, and put up posters with funny dog pictures. Get or bake large stone-shaped cookies, take about 15 pieces, make holes at both ends and connect them together in the form of a garland. Your fluffy baby for the sake of such an occasion also does not hurt to dress up. Look for cute party hats and bow ties.
Play games.
As with children’s parties, you will need something to keep your guests entertained. Competitive games will not be easy to control, but if you show a little patience, everyone will have great fun. Adult, trained dogs can participate in the game, where you need to follow commands such as “sit”, “down” and “stand”. For energetic persons, a game of “bring the ball” is suitable. Owners stand behind their pets holding a toy, ball, frisbee or stick in their hand. On command, everyone throws their objects, and the one whose dog brings the prey first wins. If you don’t have much space, then grab your leashes and go for a walk around the area. Free time is also important, so find a secluded, quiet place where tired pets can take a break from the hustle and bustle.
Take photos as a keepsake.
Photos with your favorite pets are priceless. It just takes a little patience and treats. Make a photo zone in the theme of the holiday. If you have a dog-loving photographer among your friends, ask him to help with this whole undertaking. The most difficult thing will be to keep the attention of pets.

Georgia election officials, voting systems CEO vouch for machine’s security ahead of midterms

The president of the Dominion Voting Systems defended the integrity of the company’s voting equipment during Wednesday’s Georgia State Election Board meeting where state officials attempted to shore up public confidence ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.
The State Election Board meeting provided the board members a chance to discuss the ongoing criminal investigation surveillance video footage and other reports showing a group of people, with the help of several Coffee County election officials at the time, gaining unauthorized access to copy every component of the voting system following President Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election.
The board dismissed requests from more than a dozen cybersecurity experts and other election security advocates asking for the state to replace its electronic ballot marking devices with hand-marked paper ballots in time for the midterm election. Early voting is set to begin October 17. According to the board, it is not even authorized to adopt an emergency rule under state law, unlike in 2020 when it adopted emergency rules such as allowing absentee drop boxes after the pandemic forced a statewide public health declaration.
Board members, however, acknowledged the seriousness of the breach allegations that were further fueled by surveillance video recently released by Coffee County attorneys through open records requests made by plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the strength of the state’s electronic voting system.
State Election Board Chairman William Duffey Jr. said the board contacted the FBI since the circumstances surrounding the south Georgia breach are similar to incidents that occurred in Michigan and Nevada. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced last week that his office has replaced the county’s voting equipment.
Several state election officials expressed that Georgians could feel more confident about the voting system if they had more insight into how Dominion machines work, how post-election audits of paper ballots can validate the initial results, and with better transparency throughout the election season.
The CEO and president of Dominion, John Poulos, said Wednesday his company’s system protects against threats. He said that each voting system is a standalone, meaning that the devices are not connected to the internet while voting takes place, and the vote is not tabulated until after the voter scans a paper ballot.
Dominion’s electronic ballot marking devices were rolled out statewide in Georgia for use in the 2020 elections and beyond. State lawmakers approved spending $107 million to replace the old Diebold machines, which did not provide voters a paper ballot to confirm their choices.
Dominion’s touchscreen devices are used to cast votes that are then printed out on paper ballots that lists each selection. The ballots are placed into a scanner that reads a bar code and saves digital images of the ballot before it goes into a secure box.
Poulos referenced security features such as encrypted memory cards and referenced how the paper ballots allow for an auditing process in Georgia in which the votes recorded on paper can be compared to the results tabulated by the machines.
“In addition to the paper ballot that can be hand recounted, you also have a record by way of a digital image of what that voter verified and confirmed at the time it was cast,” Poulos said.
A U.S. cybersecurity agency’s report released earlier this year confirmed vulnerabilities in the Dominion touch screens. And an expert witness in the lawsuit published a report about the dangers of relying on digital technology that is more susceptible to hacking.
Some critics of the state’s Dominion machines, however, point out that the ballot marking devices need to load data to display current elections and in order for tabulators to interpret the printouts of voters’ ballots.
State Election Board member Sara Tindall Ghazal said that Wednesday’s meeting was to evaluate how the board would respond to the allegations in Coffee County, part of a scheme to legitimize the unfounded conspiracies that votes cast by Dominion machines could easily be flipped in order to steal the 2020 election from Trump.
She said, however, that no reputable sources are disputing the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s Georgia victory in 2020. And even if the board had the power, she said she would not have supported deploying emergency paper ballots.
The voting experts at Wednesday’s meeting “detailed all the ways in which our votes are safeguarded, and the overlapping security measures that would very quickly make apparent if there were nefarious actors or actions attempting to change the outcome of our elections,” Tindall Ghazal said.
Morgan County Democratic Party Vice-Chair Jeanne Dufort said plenty of evidence in the case disputes Dominion’s rosy picture and asked the board whether it would ever take serious action to protect elections after ignoring repeated warnings. A prime example of a major threat is the Coffee County breach that involved some local GOP and election board leaders.
“If Georgia’s election software was pirated and distributed widely by well-funded characters from the stop the steal movement, if that didn’t scare you, what will?”

Correction procedure for the first cervical vertebra
Atlant – is the first vertebra that supports the head. It is he who provides mobility to the place of articulation with the skull. In medical dictionaries, you can find another name for this vertebra: C1. And the name “atlas” was given to the vertebra in honor of the hero of the myths of ancient Greece, who held the firmament on himself.
The procedure for correcting the first cervical vertebra ( Atlanta ) consists in mechanical pressvibromassage of the short deep muscles of the suboccipital region with a Swiss-made device PROLAXSYS . The technique and apparatus were developed by the Swiss Rene Schumperli and have been successfully used since 1996.
The works by relaxing the vibrations on the deep muscles of the neck. Like the result of is the removal of incorrect fixation of the first vertebra, which allows it to take its correct anatomical position.
Additional positive effects were discovered as the method was applied. Near the place of attachment of the first vertebra to the occipital bone, the vertebral and carotid arteries are located, venous vessels exit, and branches of the large occipital nerve exit through the short suboccipital muscles. The resulting relaxation of muscles spasmed by pathological fixation improves blood flow: arterial blood flow to the brain, reduces resistance to venous outflow, and removes nerve fibers from compression. After the atlas falls into its anatomical place, a self-healing program is launched in the body.
Causes of improper fixation of the 1st cervical vertebra (Atlanta)
Subluxation, rotation (rotation) and inclination of the Atlanta, develop as a result of injuries of various nature:
hardware obstetrics), at the birth of a large fetus, prolonged labor and an anhydrous period, etc. Often, children with the consequences of birth trauma are diagnosed with cerebral palsy (ICP), mental retardation (MPD) and psychoverbal developmental delay (SPSP).
head fall from crib;
in case of an accident – “whiplash” injury of the neck, rotational twisting during sudden braking of public transport for passengers moving in it while standing;
while diving;
injuries received by athletes: boxing, wrestling.
The most common complaints in this case :
headaches (including migraine pains that do not decrease in intensity while taking triptans), dizziness.
pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
pelvic pain, pain in arms and legs
unsteadiness, loss of consciousness, frequent nosebleeds
focal dystonia of cervical muscles
vegetative-vascular dystonia, paroxysms of panic attacks
Children may have the following manifestations of Atlant position disorder:
torticollis
motor (cerebral palsy)
speech (ZRR)
attention disorder, hyperactivity
enuresis
violation of posture (scoliotic curvature)
The technique is used only after diagnosis and establishment of indications and contraindications for the procedure.
Examination (diagnosis) before the procedure is as follows:
Interview: collection of complaints and anamnesis. Completion of relevant documentation.
Examination, palpation (manual) testing.
Analysis of existing examination results (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, etc.)
Contraindications for the procedure :
pregnancy
postoperative period (any operation, including on the eyes) less than 6 months. glaucoma
acute infectious diseases – less than 2 weeks from the start of recovery
elevated body temperature
skin diseases with inflammatory manifestations in the neck
oncological diseases
stenting, shunting, the presence of metal structures or allografts in the spine.
recovery period after injury (cervical and brain injury) or stroke less than a year.
venous sinus thrombosis
stenosis of the vessels of the neck with the presence of atherosclerotic plaques – more than 20% stenosis
osteoporosis, with more than 2. 5 osteopenia SD
angina pectoris, atrial fibrillation or atrial fibrillation, heart failure of any degree
hypertensive crisis at the reception or hypertension not corrected by drugs.
In the absence of contraindications, and the presence of indications, the procedure for correcting the first cervical vertebra is performed. Recommendations for further rehabilitation treatment are given.
In the MEDA Family Clinic in Pushkin, this procedure is performed by neurologist Kotova Elena Nikolaevna.

Then the Great Flood occurred, and the time came for people who subjugated the remnants of the once mighty peoples of the Atlanteans and Caryatids. The ancient Greeks immortalized the memory of this victory in the statues of gigantic men (atlantes) and women (caryatids), propping up human palaces and temples. The most famous Atlanteans in our country have been guarding the building of the New Hermitage in the city on the Neva for more than a hundred years.
In 1852, the German architect Leo Klyanze built a two-story building to store the Hermitage collection, which in all its diversity could no longer fit in the Hermitage. Klyantse, together with the sculptor I. Galbig, planned to erect figures on the portico of the New Hermitage, reminiscent of pharaohs in their form. But the architects V.P. Stasov and N.E. Efimov created a project according to which the balconies of the museum were to shoulder stone atlantes. As a result, it was their idea that they decided to bring to life.
In 1844, according to the drawing by I. Galbig and the model of the sculptor A. I. Terebenev, a dozen twin Atlanteans arose. A little later, A. I. Terebenev received the title of academician for this work.
Sculptures of five-meter-high giants were carved from Serdobol granite for five whole years by one hundred and fifty stonemasons. After that, manual polishing of the monuments continued for three years. Finally, on September 1, 1848, the stone giants took their rightful place.
Unlike the traditional Atlanteans, stern bearded men, the giants of the northern capital are the personification of youth, beauty and courage. Russian folk flavor is manifested in wreaths of ears of corn and loincloths made of bearskins. Beautiful inspired faces are full of dignity and inner strength. During the Great Patriotic War, a shell fired by a German long-range cannon hit the portico of the New Hermitage. One of the giants was seriously injured, but did not bend under the heavy burden. Since then, the people of St. Petersburg distinguish him from the rest of the Atlanteans – they believe in the supernatural abilities of this indestructible stone youth.
St. Petersburg is one of the most mystical cities in Russia, and, of course, the Atlanteans also became an integral part of northern mythology. For example, some newlyweds believe that their family life will work out if, on the eve of the wedding, they touch the big toes of the monuments. Then the newly-made family will be friendly, and the children who appear in this family will be talented, smart and brave. Residents of St. Petersburg are sure that the ancient giants protect their city and can help in solving personal problems. All you need to do is grab onto the big toe of a granite foot in complete solitude, and then your wishes will come true.
Alexander Gorodnitsky, performer of the bard song, dedicated one of his compositions to the fearless Atlanteans. And who knows, maybe these silent giants really hold the gloomy St. Petersburg sky, do not let it break on the granite embankments.

symptoms of rotational dislocation of the C1 vertebra in children and adults
In the figure: subluxation of the atlas (the first cervical vertebra), view from the back.
Atlas (atlas, atlas) is the first vertebra of the cervical region, the function of which is to maintain the skull in a stable state and regulate the position of the entire spine.
Displacement of the first vertebra is the name of a very common injury, subluxation of the atlas. The first cervical vertebra, the atlas (C1), is attached to the occipital region of the skull and is connected to the second vertebra, the axis (C2), forming the atlantoaxial joint. It provides head mobility, normal support of the skull, high-quality blood supply to the brain and spinal cord.
In the figure: the first cervical vertebra (atlas) in the correct position, viewed from the back.
With the correct position of C1, when turning the head, the vertebra moves in coordination with the cranium relative to the C2 axis.
How the first vertebra is arranged
Atlas in its structure is similar to a ring, the lateral sections of which are denser compared to the back and front parts. These departments are connected to the occipital bone. The second vertebra has an odontoid process: it is this that provides gliding along the inner surface of C1. More information in this article.
What is rotational subluxation of the atlas?
Rotation in Latin means “circular motion”, “rotation”. Therefore, right-sided or left-sided rotational subluxation of the atlas is a slight asymmetric displacement of the articular surfaces of the annular C1 relative to the C2 axis to the right or left, respectively. More serious pathologies are rare.
It is important to distinguish between complete dislocation and subluxation of the atlas vertebra. With a dislocation, there is a complete loss of contact between the surfaces of the joints. In this case, the person is not able to turn his head at all. A dislocation, as a rule, is characterized by severe pain, and when the joint is displaced, a characteristic click is heard. A dislocation can also be non-rotational: the vertebrae are displaced not along the vertebral axis, but in any way. This almost always results in disability or death.
But much more often, with injuries and blows, it is rotational subluxation of the atlas that occurs.
With rotational subluxation, the vertebra is not completely displaced (by a few millimeters) and precisely relative to the spinal axis, and the atlantoaxial and atlantooccipital joints are blocked by tense muscles that will hold the vertebrae in a new state. The head turns in all directions, but the amplitude of rotation is limited. Pain during rotational displacement is not always observed.
It is important to note that congenital (non-mechanical) pathology of the position of the atlas also occurs, but even in this case, correction is possible.
In the figure: rotational subluxation of the atlas (the first cervical vertebra), view from the back.
The figure shows how the vertebra is displaced. The dotted red line shows the position of the atlas when displaced (some people may have a pathology all their lives and not know about it), and the green dotted line indicates the normal natural position.
Types and causes of injuries of the atlas
Displacement or distortion of the atlas most often occurs in newborns due to the actions of obstetricians during childbirth or due to improper presentation of the fetus. Subluxation is sometimes characterized by limited mobility of the neck or torticollis.
During childbirth, the baby experiences an incredible external mechanical load for its small size. The cervical spine suffers the most as a result of high pressure, especially if the birth process is forcedly stimulated using obstetric forceps and other methods.
At one time in the Soviet Union there was a practice of “preserving the perineum of a woman in labor.” The so-called “humane” method was aimed at reducing the rate of delivery of the fetus to the outside, which was supposed to reduce the recovery period of the mother and help avoid injury to the perineum. In fact, the midwife simply pressed the baby’s head in the opposite direction with her palm, increasing the already high load on the baby’s neck.
The myth of safe caesarean section
In the photo: caesarean section is one of the common causes of atlas subluxation
This is important for parents to know!
There is an opinion that a caesarean section saves a woman in labor from painful childbirth and almost completely removes the load from the cervical region. In pursuit of allowances and other perks, some doctors advertise this method as the safest. This is very far from the truth! A caesarean section, like any other surgical intervention, should be done only if there are objective indications.
A caesarean section is a method of delivery using a surgical abdominal operation in which the newborn is removed through an incision in the uterus. The main problem in such childbirth is bleeding. To reduce it, the surgeon makes an incision as small as possible (so that only the hand can pass through) and pulls the baby out by the neck with his fingers. To pull the fetus out through a small incision, you have to make a lot of effort, and the main part of this load in most cases falls on the baby’s fragile neck. Due to the fact that the newborn is actually pulled by the head with great force, this method cannot be considered safe: it often leads to C1 displacement.
Also, during cesarean section, there is a sharp change in intrauterine pressure to atmospheric pressure, which can lead to another type of birth injury – barotrauma.
Minor birth rotational subluxation (incomplete dislocation) C1 is the most common type of cervical birth injury. The key word here is “insignificant”. Relatively little attention is paid to this fact in medicine. Firstly, a slight shift in C1 does not cause sharp and irreversible pathological reactions in the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, and secondly, this phenomenon is so common that it is considered almost the norm.
There is even a theory according to which the body itself compensates for the shift in C1 with different bone thicknesses and leg lengths, and as if nullifies the imbalance that has arisen. Whether this is good or bad, and what are the consequences of such compensation, one can guess without having a medical education.
Unfortunately, neither natural childbirth nor caesarean section are safe and do not allow avoiding a high load on the neck of the newborn, which means that they do not exclude the possibility of birth injuries in infants.
Causes of C1 subluxation in adults
In the photo: trauma of the cervical spine in an accident is one of the common causes of atlas subluxation
Displacement of the vertebrae of the cervical region and any other in adulthood usually occurs due to strong blows and injuries. The most dangerous injuries of the upper cervical region.
The most common cases of spinal injuries are due to traffic accidents (when the head makes a whipping movement back or forward from the push), as well as as a result of falls on the head from a height of more than 50 cm. In accidents, other consequences are possible, for example, antelisthesis – displacement of a vertebra forward relative to other vertebrae .
Needless to say, the recovery period after such incidents takes time: from a month to a year, and sometimes the damage to health is irreparable, up to lifelong disability and even death.
Injury received during rest and sports activities due to hitting the head on a hard surface also sometimes leads to subluxation.
Symptoms and consequences of atlas subluxation in children
Even a minor injury to the cervical region and displacement of the cervical vertebrae lead to a narrowing of cerebral blood flow and clamping of the vertebral artery and important blood vessels. The consequences of this are increased intracranial pressure, headaches, migraines, dysplasia and the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and a lag in motor development. Such problems are observed even in children 6, 8, 10 years old. Attempts to treat concomitant diseases, the appointment of exercise therapy (physiotherapy exercises) do not eliminate the problem.
Children who have suffered a birth injury of the neck often have a violation of posture, scoliosis. Due to poor blood supply to the brain, the central nervous system suffers, and this affects the character, psyche of the child, and his physical development.
Not all the consequences of birth trauma go away with age, some remain for life and only get worse over time.
General effects of C1 subluxation in children and adults
In the picture: subluxation of the atlas vertebra negatively affects the entire musculoskeletal system
Rotation does not manifest itself immediately, but over time it will inevitably make itself felt.
Regardless of the reasons, C1 misalignment has a serious impact on the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, ligaments and tendons, the cardiovascular system, all body systems, causing diseases and disorders such as sciatica, cervical osteochondrosis, all kinds of pinching, pain in the neck, back, lumbar pain, protrusion and intervertebral hernia and even pain in the joints (due to the long stay of the spinal column in the wrong position and uneven distribution of the load in the limbs).
At first, pain caused by subluxation may be associated with muscle overload, then pain appears due to protrusions, damage (trauma) to the intervertebral discs may occur due to their incorrect position relative to each other. Often the result of a subluxation is scoliosis, pain in the coccyx, or pain in the entire back. The back of the neck is tense all the time. Often, the curvature of the spinal column and the protrusion of the vertebrae due to the displaced atlas in the cervical region can be seen with the naked eye.
Chronic subluxation always affects the work of the vessels of the head. Mechanical compression of the arteries sooner or later leads to a deterioration in the blood supply to the brain. VBI develops (vertebrobasilar insufficiency, vertebrobasilar syndrome, vertebrobasilar arterial system syndrome). This manifests itself in neuro-sensory disturbances, weakening of vision and hearing, dizziness, headaches, the appearance of “flies” before the eyes during sudden movements.
With pinched vessels that feed the brain, the risk of stroke, malfunction of the central nervous system, blood pressure rises, meteorological dependence appears, often there is tinnitus, hand numbness, runny nose and nasal congestion, shortness of breath and even asthma. Also, fatigue, poor memory, poor adaptation to increased loads, and unstable work of the gastrointestinal tract are noted.
The medulla oblongata is located in the spinal canal. C1 subluxation can directly or indirectly affect its work, and this will lead to a change in intracranial pressure, the level of brain activity and a malfunction in the internal organs. Also in the craniovertebral joint (the area where the head articulates with the neck) there are many blood vessels that feed the brain, including the vertebral artery. When they are squeezed, the blood circulation of the cranial zone worsens, the nerve endings and membranes of the medulla oblongata are pinched.
As a result, headaches of varying intensity and frequency occur, disturbances in the work of the cardiovascular system, VVD (vegetovascular dystonia), a habit of hunching over, prolonged muscle tension, it is difficult and / or painful to turn the head to the left and right. There is a need to constantly lower the head, heaviness in the legs. There is also damage to the organs of vision and hearing, changes in occlusion, and many other symptoms and pathologies that, at first glance, can hardly be attributed to the syndrome of rotational subluxation of the atlas.
Serious pathologies in C1 subluxation
In small children (including infants), as a result of subluxation of the first cervical vertebra, a number of diseases sometimes develop, including cerebral palsy and paralysis, which leads to disability. Sometimes, in case of accidents and injuries, retrolisthesis occurs – the simultaneous displacement of several vertebrae at once relative to the position of the spinal column. In such a situation, step-by-step recommendations for restoring the health of the spine will be given by the atlas specialist of our center. You may first have to go through operations, conservative treatment of the neck, wear an orthopedic Shants collar for a while.
How to detect if the atlas is dislocated
Since all people could be exposed to birth trauma, every person needs a preventive examination to detect displacement. Some patients are diagnosed with signs of chronic diseases, the main cause of which was a displaced atlas. Therefore, the sooner the diagnosis is made and the atlas is repositioned, the better for the person affected by the displacement of the vertebrae.
When it is possible to eliminate the pathology, rapid sanogenesis (self-healing) of the body and the establishment of the work of all its systems begin. But this does not mean that the victim of displacement can be cured of all the symptoms of existing diseases only by editing C1.
How to diagnose upper vertebral subluxation?
Diagnosis of C1 displacement in the Atlas-Standard clinic is done on the basis of:
Kinesiology tests (muscle tone and the relationship between their strength of tension and the work of internal organs are assessed). Using this method, you can detect if there are malfunctions in the craniovertebral zone (cervical spine), and most importantly, tests help to see the consequences of these failures.
X-ray, CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) show statistical changes in the vertebra. They are made for a control assessment of the state of the spinal column.
On the MRI picture: subluxation of the first cervical vertebra (atlas)
What specific methods will be selected for the correction of rotational subluxation is specified during a consultation with a specialist. Note that hardware research methods can display the structure of the joint, but cannot demonstrate the consequences of displacement. An example would be a paralyzed limb when C1 subluxation became the cause of the paralysis. For this, special kinesiology tests are needed.
The same tests are carried out after correcting C1 misalignment to ensure that there is no misalignment and that the position of the vertebrae allows the body to function normally.
Unique diagnosis of the position of the atlas
In almost all patients suffering from various diseases of the spinal column and spinal cord, seemingly not directly related to subluxation (headaches, migraines, cervical osteochondrosis, dizziness, back pain, lumbar pain, etc. ), the diagnosis reveals dislocation (rotation ) of the first cervical vertebra. Sometimes it is difficult for people from childhood to turn their heads: and this is also the result of displacement of a vertebra. Correcting the situation (subluxation) simultaneously solves many health problems.
How to eliminate subluxation with the help of the Swiss technique of dressing the atlas
Setting C1 to a normal state is achieved by vibrating the muscles of the body that stabilize and support the vertebra, which have memory. With the vibration of a certain frequency, which is produced by a special device developed in Switzerland, the muscles relax. The atlas falls into place, and the muscles are fixed in a new, correct position.
First, a free initial examination is carried out and diagnostics are made. The procedure is carried out by a doctor specially trained in the nuances of the technique. You can read more about the method on the main page of our official website.
After the procedure, the patient is assigned a special program to restore the functions of the musculoskeletal system, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Vitamin complexes are also prescribed and preventive recommendations are given depending on the initial condition and the presence of specific diseases.
The difference between the Swiss method and traditional methods of treatment
Since the craniovertebral (upper cervical) zone of the spine is the “risk zone” – the most dangerous for exposure, then usually doctors, osteopaths try to apply conservative treatment: smooth traction and a system of physical exercises to strengthen the muscles, as well as manual therapy and so on. However, these methods of osteopathy in the vast majority of cases do not provide a complete return of C1 to its natural position.
Editing C1 using the Swiss technique is based on a discovery in the field of physiology that allows you to overcome muscle memory. If the impact is carried out not with the help of a device that vibrates for a sufficiently long time, but with the help of manual therapy, then the result from the reduction of the vertebra will not last long at best: sooner or later, instability of the first cervical vertebra will manifest itself, and the atlas will again take the wrong position in the atlantoaxial joint. In the worst case, there will be no result at all, or even more damage will be done to the musculoskeletal system and the whole body.
If you want to learn more about how the atlas vertebra is reduced, what is the effect of the method, then you can read and watch detailed reviews and video reviews about it.
How to make an appointment with an atlas specialist
Leave an application for an appointment with a doctor using a special form.
The specialist will contact you as soon as possible. If you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, you can agree on a convenient time for your visit. If you are in another city in Russia, the doctors of the Atlas-Standard clinic will be able to travel to your city according to the schedule set on the website (updated every week).
Promotions and discounts are regularly offered for residents of certain cities. Check the information with the clinic specialists.
Beware of scammers!
In no case do not trust people without medical education to rule the atlas. It is dangerous to health and even to life.
Wayne Williams – Wayne Williams
For other people named Wayne Williams, see Wayne Williams (disambiguation).
Wayne Bertram Williams (born May 27, 1958) is an American serial killer serving a life sentence for the 1981 murder of two men in Atlanta, Georgia, [1] and police believe he was responsible for at least 23 of 30 murders in Atlanta 1979–1981, also known as the Atlanta Child Murders. For other murders (mainly children) he was not tried, although these cases have already been closed. [2]

early life and education
Wayne Williams was born May 27, 1958 and grew up in the Dixie Hills neighborhood of southwest Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Homer and Faye Williams. Both of his parents were teachers. Williams graduated from Douglas High School and developed a strong interest in radio and journalism. He built his current carrier radio station and began to frequent stations WIGO and WAOK, where he befriended several announcer teams and began to dabble, becoming a pop music producer and manager. [3]
Atlanta Murders
Williams first became a suspect in the Atlanta murders on the morning of May 22, 1981, when a police surveillance team was monitoring the James Jackson Parkway Bridge crossing the Chattahoochee River (the site where the bodies of several victims were found). ) heard a “big loud splash” suggesting that something had been thrown from the bridge into the river below. [4] [5] The first car to leave the bridge after the splash, at about 2:50 am, belonged to Williams. When stopped and questioned, he told police that he was going to check on an address in a nearby town before auditioning the next morning with a young singer named Cheryl Johnson. However, both phone numbers he gave to the police and Cheryl Johnson turned out to be fictitious. [6]
Two days later, on May 24, the naked body of 27-year-old Nathaniel Cather was found in the river and had been missing for four days. The medical examiner ruled that he died of probable asphyxia but never specifically said that he was suffocated. The police thought that Williams killed Kater and that his body was the source of the sound they heard as his car crossed the bridge. [7]
Williams failed three polygraph tests. Hair and fibers recovered from the body of another victim, Jimmy Ray Payne, were found to match hair from his house, car and dog. Officers told police they saw Williams with scratches on his face and hands during the killings, which investigators suspected may have been committed by the victims during the clashes. [7] Williams held a press conference outside his home to plead not guilty, voluntarily stating that he had failed polygraph tests, which would have been inadmissible in court. [8]
On June 3 and 4, Williams was again interrogated by police for twelve hours at FBI headquarters and released without arrest or charge, but remained under surveillance. [9]
Arrest and trial
Williams was arrested on June 21, 1981 for the murders of Cater and Payne. [10] His trial began January 6, 1982 in Fulton County. During a two-month trial, prosecutors matched a number of victims with nineteen sources of fibers from Williams’ home and car: his bedspread, bathroom, gloves, clothes, carpets, a dog, and an unusual three-lobed carpet fiber. Other evidence included witness statements that Williams had been close to several of the victims while they were alive and inconsistencies in his accounts of his whereabouts. [11] Williams defended his own defense, but pushed the jury away, getting angry and angry. [12] After twelve hours of deliberation, on February 27, the jury convicted him of the murders of Cater and Payne. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. [13] After Williams became a suspect, the killings stopped. [2]
In the late 1990s, Williams filed habeas corpus and requested a retrial. Butts County Supreme Court Judge Hal Craig denied his appeal. Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker said that “while this does not conclude the appeal process, I am pleased with the outcome of the habeas case” and that his office “will continue to do everything we can to uphold the verdict.” [14] In early 2004, Williams again filed for a retrial, and his lawyers argued that law enforcement officers withheld evidence of Ku Klux Klan involvement and that the carpet fibers allegedly linking him to the crimes did not stand up to scientific scrutiny. . [15] Federal judge denied motion for retrial October 17, 2006
Consequences
Williams was not tried for most of the Atlanta child murders, including the murder of Curtis Walker, 13, whose body was dumped into the South River Atlanta at 1981 year. But Walker’s death prompted the Atlanta police and the FBI to monitor Atlanta’s bridges. Williams became a suspect in May 1981 after he was met by police near one of the bridges and was arrested the following month. [16]
Williams is serving his sentence at Telfair State Prison. [17] On November 20, 2019, Williams was again denied parole. He will next be eligible for parole in November 2027. [18]
Investigation reopened
Williams maintained his innocence from the start and claimed that Atlanta officials covered up evidence of KKK involvement in the killings to avoid a race war in the city. His lawyers said the conviction was a “serious miscarriage of justice” that kept an innocent man imprisoned for most of his adult life and allowed the real killers to go free. [19] In contrast, Joseph Drolet, who prosecuted Williams, supported Williams’ convictions. He stressed that after Williams’ arrest, “the killings stopped and there has been nothing since. ” [20]
Other observers criticized the thoroughness of the investigation and the soundness of its findings. [16] [21] Author James Baldwin in his essay Evidence for the Invisible (1985) raised questions about Williams’ guilt. Members of his community and the parents of several of the victims did not believe that Williams, the son of two professional teachers, could have killed so many people. [22]
May 6, 2005 DeKalb County Police Chief Louis Graham ordered the reopening of the murder cases of four boys killed in the county between February and May 1981, whose deaths were attributed to Williams. [22] [23] This statement was welcomed by the relatives of some of the victims, who, in their opinion, believe that the wrong person is responsible for many murders. [24]
Graham, who was working as an assistant police chief in nearby Fulton County at the time of the murders, said his decision to reopen was driven solely by his belief in Williams’ innocence. Former DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, who was a homicide detective in Atlanta at the time, also said he believes Williams was wrongly blamed for the murders. “If they arrested the white guy,” he said, “there would be riots in the US.” [25] [26] [27] [28] Dorsey is serving a life sentence after being convicted of ordering the assassination of his election opponent Derwin Brown. [29]
Fulton County authorities have not reopened any cases under their jurisdiction. [22]
According to an August 2005 report, Charles T. Sanders, a white supremacist associated with the KKK and an early murder suspect, once lauded the crimes in secretly recorded conversations. Although Sanders has not publicly claimed responsibility for any of the deaths, he told a Georgia Bureau of Investigation informant on Entry 19 [30] An anonymous alleged ex-friend of Sanders told documentarian Payne Lindsey ( Atlanta Monster ) that Sanders claimed responsibility for the murders mentioned in 1986. Spin article, [31] alleging that his brothers were also involved
Sanders had no direct involvement with the KKK or led his friend to believe that anyone else in the organization was involved. how lucky he was that he and Williams had the same carpet and that they both had a white German Shepherd.The anonymous former friend continued, “Once it involved Wayne Williams, they passed. That was their way out.”0421 [32] Police stopped investigating possible Klan involvement when Sanders and two of his brothers took polygraph tests. The case was closed again on July 21, 2006. [33] [34]
Former FBI profiler John E. Douglas wrote in his book Mindhunter that, in his opinion, “forensic and behavioral evidence conclusively points to Wayne Williams as the killer of eleven young men in Atlanta.” However, he added that, in his opinion, there is “no hard evidence linking him to all or even most of the deaths and disappearances of children in this city between 1979 to 1981”. [35]
In 2007, the FBI ran DNA tests on two human hairs found on one of the victims. The mitochondrial DNA sequence in hair will eliminate 99.5% of humans and 98% of African Americans if their DNA does not match. But they matched Williams’ DNA. [35]
DNA testing was carried out in 2010 on scalp hairs found on the body of 11-year-old victim Patrick Baltazar. Although the results were not conclusive, the found DNA sequence is only present in 29of 1,148 African American hair samples in the FBI database, including Williams’s. [36] The Balthazar case was included among the ten additional victims presented to the jury at Williams’ trial, although he was never charged in any of these cases. [37]
The dog hair found on Balthazar’s body was tested in 2007 by the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Genetic Laboratory, which found a DNA sequence also present in the Williams family. German Shepherd. However, lab director Elisabeth Viktum stated that while the results were “quite significant”, they were not conclusive. Only mitochondrial DNA was tested, which, unlike nuclear DNA, cannot be unique to one dog. The report states that body hair contains the same DNA sequence as Williams’ dog, a DNA sequence found in about 1 in 100 dogs. [38] The FBI report stated that “Wayne Williams cannot be ruled out” as a suspect in the case. [39]
A Department of Justice A study published in April 2015 concluded that numerous hair tests conducted by FBI investigators in the 1980s and 1990s “may not have met professional standards.” Defense attorney Lynn Whatley immediately announced that the report would form the basis for a new appeal, but prosecutors responded that evidence of hair played only a minor role in Williams’s conviction. [40]
On March 21, 2019, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Neese and Atlanta Police Chief Erica Shields announced that officials would re-examine murder evidence collected by the Atlanta Police Department, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. At a press conference, Mayor Bottoms said, “Maybe there’s nothing left to check. But I do think history will judge us by our actions and we can say we tried.” [41] [42]
Media
Williams appears as the main antagonist in several media coverage of the case. He was first portrayed in a 1985 television miniseries. Child Murders in Atlanta and played Calvin Levels. In 2000, Show Time released a drama film called Who Killed the Atlanta Kids? featuring Clé Bennett played by Williams. In 2019, Williams was featured in season 2 of the Netflix series Mindhunter along with others such as Charles Manson and David Berkowitz; 9 “Christopher Livingston”. IMDb .

Arrest and trial
Williams was arrested on June 21, 1981 for the murders of Cater and Payne. His trial began on January 6, 1982 in Fulton County. During a two-month trial, prosecutors matched a number of victims with nineteen sources of fibers from Williams’ home and car: his bedspread, bathroom, gloves, clothes, carpets, a dog, and an unusual three-lobed carpet fiber. Other evidence included witness statements that Williams had been close to several of the victims while they were alive and inconsistencies in his accounts of his whereabouts. Williams defended his own defense, but pushed the jurors away after becoming angry and angry. After twelve hours of deliberation, on February 27, the jury convicted him of the murders of Cater and Payne. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. After Williams became a suspect, the killings stopped.
In the late 1990s, Williams filed habeas corpus and requested a retrial. Butts County Superior Court Judge Hal Craig denied his appeal. Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker said that “while the appeal process does not end here, I am pleased with the outcome of the habeas case” and that his office “will continue to do everything we can to uphold the conviction.” In early 2004, Williams again requested a retrial, his lawyers arguing that law enforcement officials withheld evidence of Ku Klux Klan involvement and that the carpet fibers allegedly linking him to the crimes did not stand up to scientific scrutiny. A federal judge denied the motion for a retrial on October 17, 2006.
Aftermath
Williams was never tried for any of the Atlanta child murders. However, police attributed 22 deaths to Williams, including 18 minors.
Williams is serving his sentence at Telfair State Prison. On November 20, 2019, Williams was again denied parole. He will next be eligible for parole in November 2027.
Investigation reopened
Williams maintained his innocence from the start and claimed that Atlanta officials covered up evidence of KKK involvement in the killings to avoid a race war in the city. His lawyers said the conviction was a “serious miscarriage of justice” that caused an innocent man to remain imprisoned for most of his adult life and allowed the real killers to go free. In contrast, Joseph Drolet, who prosecuted Williams in court, supported Williams’ convictions. He stressed that after Williams’ arrest, “the killings stopped and there has been nothing since.”
Other observers criticized the thoroughness of the investigation and the soundness of its conclusions. Author James Baldwin, in his essay “The Evidence of Things Unseen” (1985), raised questions about Williams’ guilt. Members of his community and the parents of several of the victims did not believe that Williams, the son of two professional teachers, could have killed so many people.
On May 6, 2005, DeKalb County Police Chief Louis Graham ordered the reopening of the four boys murdered in the county between February and May 1981, whose death was attributed to Williams. The announcement was welcomed by relatives of some of the victims, who they believe believe the wrong person is responsible for many of the murders.
Graham, who was serving as an assistant police chief in neighboring Fulton County at the time of the murders, said his decision to reopen was driven solely by his belief in Williams’ innocence. Former DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, who was a homicide detective in Atlanta at the time, also said he believes Williams was wrongly accused of the murders. “If they arrested the white guy,” he said, “there would be riots in the US.” Dorsey is serving a life sentence after being convicted of ordering the assassination of his election opponent, Derwin Brown.
Fulton County has not reopened any of the cases under its jurisdiction.
According to an August 2005 report, Charles T. Sanders, a white supremacist associated with the KKK and one of the first murder suspects, once praised the crimes in secretly recorded conversations. Although Sanders did not publicly claim responsibility for any of the deaths, he told a Georgia Bureau of Investigation informant in a 1981 entry that the killer “destroyed a thousand future generations of Negroes”. An anonymous alleged former friend of Sanders told documentarian Payne Lindsey ( Atlanta Monster ) that Sanders claimed responsibility for the murders cited in the 1986 article Spin , claiming that his brothers were also involved.
Sanders had no direct connection to the KKK and did not lead his friend to believe that anyone else in the organization was involved. Sanders allegedly reflected on how lucky he was that he and Williams had the same carpet, and that they both had a white German Shepherd. The anonymous former friend continued, “Once it was connected to Wayne Williams, they were gone. It was their way out.” Police dropped their investigation into the Klan’s possible involvement when Sanders and two of his brothers took polygraph tests. The case was closed again on July 21, 2006.
Former FBI profiler John E. Douglas wrote in his book Mindhunter, that, in his opinion, “forensic and behavioral evidence conclusively points to Wayne Williams as the killer of eleven young men in Atlanta. ” However, he added that, in his opinion, “there is no hard evidence linking him to all or even most of the deaths and disappearances of children in this city between 1979 and 1981.”
In 2007, the FBI ran DNA tests on two human hairs found on one of the victims. Mitochondrial DNA sequence in hair would destroy 99.5% of people and 98% of African Americans if their DNA did not match; the sequence found matched Williams’ DNA.
DNA testing was carried out in 2010 on scalp hairs found on the body of 11-year-old victim Patrick Baltazar. While the results were not conclusive, the DNA sequence found was only found in 29 of the 1,148 African American hair samples in the FBI’s database, including Williams’s. Balthazar’s case was included among the ten additional victims presented to the jury at Williams’ trial, although he was never charged in any of those cases.
Dog hair found on Balthazar’s body was tested in 2007 by the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Genetic Laboratory, which found a DNA sequence also present in the Williams family’s German Shepherd dog. However, lab director Elisabeth Viktum stated that while the results were “quite significant”, they were not conclusive. Only mitochondrial DNA was tested, which, unlike nuclear DNA, cannot be unique to one dog. The report states that body hair contains the same DNA sequence as Williams’ dog, a DNA sequence found in about 1 in 100 dogs. The FBI report stated that “Wayne Williams cannot be ruled out” as a suspect in the case.
A Justice Department study released in April 2015 concluded that numerous hair tests conducted by FBI investigators in the 1980s and 1990s “may not have met professional standards.” Defense attorney Lynn Whatley immediately announced that the report would be the basis for a new appeal, but prosecutors responded that hair evidence played only a minor role in Williams’ conviction.
On March 21, 2019, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Atlanta Police Chief Erica Shields announced that officials would re-examine murder evidence collected by the Atlanta Police Department, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. . At a press conference, Mayor Bottoms said, “Maybe there’s nothing left to check. But I do think history will judge us by our actions and we can say we tried.”
On August 19, 2019, an Atlanta man, Derwin Davis, claimed that Williams tried to kidnap him in 1979.
Media
Williams appears as the main antagonist in several media coverage of the case. He was first portrayed in the 1985 television miniseries The Atlanta Child Murders and was played by Calvin Levels. In 2000, Showtime released the drama film Who Killed the Atlanta Kids?. with Clé Bennett as Williams. In 2019Williams was featured in season 2 of the Netflix series Mindhunter along with others such as Charles Manson and David Berkowitz; Williams’ character was played by Christopher Livingston.

Atlant
One of the obstacles to normal physical development in children with cerebral palsy is the limitation or absence of independent movements in a vertical position as a result of motor deficits. If the child does not sit, stand or move independently, then it is very likely that the musculoskeletal, autonomic, and vascular systems involved in maintaining a vertical posture, i. e. of the entire complex of the anti-gravitational muscle group in him will be formed incorrectly. If a child in an upright position is not able to independently develop his movements or they are accompanied by a lot of mistakes, then the development of motor skills in him occurs incorrectly or does not occur at all.
For more efficient performance of physical exercises and facilitating the verticalization of patients in the CORTEX Medical Center, the method of kinesitherapy is successfully used using the neuro-orthopedic rehabilitation pneumo-suit “Atlant”, made on the basis of the high-altitude-compensating flight suit VKK-6.
For patients with cerebral palsy, the emphasis in training is on the ability to walk, make turns, start and stop movement, reduce walking instability, and form a physiological movement stereotype.
Pneumatic suit “Atlant” is intended for the rehabilitation of neurological patients with movement disorders due to traumatic brain injury, acute cerebrovascular accident, damage to the spine and spinal cord, infantile cerebral palsy (ICP).
The suit is made in the form of a tight-fitting jumpsuit, in which there are tension devices – tubular chambers inflated by a pump, located along the limbs and torso along the course of the antagonist muscles. Filled with air, the chambers stretch the suit shell, create a segmental compression of the muscles of the trunk and limbs, which activates proprioreceptors, afferentation increases, a powerful stream of impulses activates the central nervous system, which provides neurophysiological conditions for maintaining a posture, with subsequent restructuring of the supraspinal motor control systems to a physiological one closer to normal condition. The corset achieved in this way ensures the maintenance of a vertical posture, correct posture is corrected, a physiological curvature of the spine is formed, and physiological orthotics of the limbs are carried out. The patient develops the ability to move, maintain posture, improve differentiated movements, indirectly restore the innervation of the articulatory apparatus, and speech with dysarthria, oral apraxia, dyslalia, dysphonia.
The main advantages of RPK “Atlant”:
The suit does not load, but unloads the human skeleton, providing neurophysiological conditions for active muscle contraction. The properties of the suit create anti-gravity mechanisms for muscle work.
The suit restores muscle tone, increases the strength of the muscles.
The suit is used in combination with kinesiotherapy and significantly reduces the time of rehabilitation of the patient, while improving its quality.
The suit can be worn and used for patients in the supine position.
The suit can be used at home and makes it much easier for parents and caregivers to work with the patient.
Unlike analogues, the suit has practically no contraindications and does not have adverse effects on the patient.
The suit has been introduced and successfully used in many hospitals and rehabilitation centers in Russia and CIS countries. In MC CORTEX the suit has been successfully used in the process of rehabilitation of children suffering from cerebral palsy for 10 years. Accumulated in recent years, the statistics of the use of the device shows the high efficiency and safety of this method of rehabilitation.

Physical Development From the Start
Healthy babies are born with fully developed systems that allow their bodies to function, such as the ability to suck, swallow, and breathe. In order to support the best possible physical development, all infants require responsive care from loving adults, proper nutrition, and appropriate and stimulating environments. Infant and toddler physical development occurs rapidly over the first years of a child’s life. It is essential that caregivers understand the various stages of infant and toddler physical development so that they can respond to children’s needs appropriately.
Infants are born to explore to the world around them. While each child will grow to master many of the stages in physical development on their own schedule, infants are often eager to progress from those innate abilities to further movement in their mouth, eyes, and bodies as they seek people and objects of comfort or interest. They continue practicing skills and building one form of physical movement upon another, step by step as they move closer to desired objects. Through ongoing observation and frequent conversations with families you can learn what infants are able to do, what they’re learning to do, and in what areas they need your support.
Infants develop physically from the top down, starting with their heads and necks. At birth, an infant has a very difficult time holding up their head because their neck muscles are not strong enough to provide support. As infants and toddlers grow, their determination to master movement, balance, and fine- and gross-motor skills remains strong. Rolling and crawling occur as infants develop skill in using large-muscle groups. Grasping and picking up objects with fingers are part of small-muscle growth.
Influences on Early Physical Growth and Development
There is no exact age at which all infants should be able to grasp objects or hold up their head without support. Physical development occurs at different times for all children depending on many factors, such as a child’s unique characteristics, the family’s values and culture, and access to available resources. However, many infants and toddlers experience developmental milestones within similar timeframes of growth. The chart below outlines the approximate periods when many infants and toddlers will learn and experience these milestones.

This information was compiled from various sources including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ).
All children develop at different rates, so keep in mind that the milestones above are simply the average ages at which specific skills are observed.
Certain conditions must exist for an infant or toddler to grow and develop. A young child’s basic physical needs, include:
Food (nutritious and age-appropriate)
Shelter (protection from harm)
Warmth
Clean air and environment
Health and dental care
Activity and rest
We also know that the way we ourselves were raised is important to our understanding of how, and in what contexts children develop. The values and beliefs held by our family and culture contribute to our knowledge of growth and development.
Culture Impacts How We See and Interpret Behaviors and Development
Because culture shapes so many parts of an infant’s and toddler’s development, you must understand the practices, beliefs, and values of the families you support. Without this understanding, it’s difficult to interpret the infant’s or toddler’s behaviors and development. For example, across cultures, the rates at which infants and toddlers begin to self-feed may vary. You may believe it is important to help toddlers learn to become independent and begin to feed themselves using fine motor skills. However, a family may be accustomed to assisting with feeding their infant until a later age. While the family may not have made a conscious decision about feeding as it relates to independence, it is likely that their family’s culture values more interdependence and collective support over other cultures which value independence and self-reliance.
Other influences on infant and toddler physical growth and development are:
Prenatal care and development including, genetic inheritance and makeup, family growth patterns, exposure to drugs and alcohol, and birth experience
Prematurity (birth before the 38th week of development) and a low birth weight may result in respiration difficulties, vision problems, feeding, and digestive problems
Temperament, or other ways an infant or toddler approaches and interacts with their world
Family’s composition, lifestyle, level of education, and housing
Maturation, or the genetic or biological development that reflects a pattern of growth from conception through adolescence
Developmental delays or disabilities, including health and medical concerns
Review the handout Infant and Toddler Physical Development in the Learn activity section below to learn even more about important milestones in physical development, as well as variations in the rate of physical development for infants and toddlers.
The Brain’s Role in Physical Development
You can easily observe infants making movements with their bodies and refining their motor skills. Thanks to advances in research and technology, we can now also see how the brain changes and grows as young children develop. At birth, the brain is 25 percent of its adult size and by age 5, it reaches 90 percent of adult size. Infants’ and toddlers’ early-life interactions and experiences help them make sense of the world and form connections between different parts of the brain.
These supportive experiences and connections help improve coordination and develop stronger muscles. As infants repeat and practice different movements, such as turning their heads or reaching for an object, they build and maintain connections between brain cells. In essence, the brain is busy making sense and learning from experiences.
It is important for infants and toddlers to have time for these new experiences and to explore the world around them with a trusted caregiver. Repeated exposure to experiences with trusted caregivers allows children to feel safe and secure, and allows them to focus on experimenting, developing, and mastering new skills. The safe space that you create for their exploration ensures that their brains are able to focus on learning, developing, and making connections. If infants and toddlers do not have nurturing and responsive adults to help keep them safe, their brains are forced to focus on survival. This kind of stress on a child’s brain may make them more hesitant to engage in exploration, and experimentation; causing them to have less opportunities to create and strengthen connections in the brain that further their growth and skill development.
Supporting Physical Development for All Learners
Physical development, including gross- and fine-motor skills, consumes the interest of infants and toddlers as they practice learned skills and look to develop new ones. Healthy physical development is dependent on adequate nutrition, brain development, the central nervous system, muscles, bones, and the interactions and experiences offered to infants and toddlers. By recognizing developmental delays during infancy or toddlerhood, early intervention may be more effective than if the delays are not acknowledged until later in childhood. Below are some characteristics of possible physical concerns and developmental delays by various sources:

Delays in physical development may affect more than gross- and fine-motor skills. For example, if an infant is unable to smile at parents or lift their arms to be picked up, this could impact social and emotional development (e.g., relationship building). Some of the delays listed above can be critical to a child’s development. The connections in a baby’s brain are most adaptable in the first three years of life. These connections, also called neural circuits, are the foundation for learning, behavior, and health. Over time, these connections become harder to change. Early intervention can help children improve their abilities and learn new skills.

How can you make sure to provide age-appropriate experiences to support infant and toddler physical development? Take a moment to read and review the sets of guidelines on the following webpage from SHAPE (Society of Health and Physical Educators, formerly known as the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, or NASPE): https://www.shapeamerica.org/standards/guidelines/activestart.aspx. Next, try one or more of the following activities with the infants or toddlers in your care:
When an infant is awake and active, offer “tummy time” — lay the baby on the floor on his or her tummy, and provide stimulating and high contrast toys or pictures for the infant to look at
Hold an infant or dance with a toddler to music — toddlers can swing colorful scarves in the air or jump on bubble wrap while the music is playing
Encourage imitation of gestures and other movement experiences in which mobile infants and toddlers can use their bodies to interact and play
Use colorful mobiles over infants’ cribs so that they can try to reach and grasp. Have toddlers experience kicking, catching, rolling, and bouncing balls
Encourage toddlers to scribble with crayons
Once finished, share your experience and what you learned with a trainer, coach, or administrator.
Read the handout, Scenarios – Gross and Fine- Motor Development below and consider what you have learned so far throughout this lesson. In the activity, think about which characteristics or behaviors would be considered fine-motor skills and which would be considered gross-motor skills, then write these down and think about possible ways you could support the young children in each scenario. You can also review the Infant and Toddler Physical Development handout in the Learn section for additional ideas. Once finished, share your thoughts and responses with a trainer, coach, or administrator.
Consider using the following resources in your classroom. Use the Milestone Moments document to monitor the physical development of the children in your classroom. Parents may be interested in the Milestone Tracker Mobile App from the CDC, which they can access using this link: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones-app.html. The resource, What Grown-Ups Understand About Child Development, is a national benchmark survey sponsored in part by ZERO TO THREE. Read over the survey findings of this study and think about your work with families and the way you gather information from them and share information with them regarding the physical development of the infants and toddlers in your care.

11 Physical Needs of a Child During the Early Years
Share
Email
During the first five years, children grow and develop at a rate that will never be matched later in life.
These early years are crucial and the impact of children’s early experiences on their total development shows how necessary it is to meet their needs as babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
It is important to understand and take care of your child’s basic physical and emotional needs. Read on to find out what the basic physical needs of a child are.
Here is a list of physical needs for children.
1. Affection
Children need physical touch and affection to grow. Touch is important for a child’s mental, emotional and physical development.
Many studies have shown that infants need physical touch in order to thrive. It shapes their brain development. [source]
Children who don’t receive enough human contact often fail to thrive and suffer from developmental delays and health problems. [source]
Babies need plenty of physical contact from birth in the form of being massaged, held skin-to-skin, picked up, cuddled, etc.
2. Nutrition
Nutrition is a vital factor in a child’s development, along with genes and environment. Research shows that nutrition is linked to health and academic performance in the early years. [source]
It influences brain development, behaviour and attention span and can reduce the risk of illnesses picked up later in life. [source]
In my experience in the classroom, children also struggle to keep up and concentrate at school if they have not eaten a nutritious breakfast.
3. Safety
Children need an environment that is physically safe and they need spaces they can explore freely without any danger.
Here are some examples of safety measures that should be put in place:
Dangerous substances such as cleaning materials and medicines should be placed out of reach
Electrical plug points should have safety covers
Use stair gates for toddlers
Swimming pools should have a fence or cover
Dangerous objects should be locked away
Children also need adult supervision during their early years. Even older children who want to play independently or with siblings and friends still feel more secure knowing an adult is nearby.
4. Healthcare & Hygiene
Children need access to basic medical care such as doing regular check-ups at the dentist and being able to see a doctor or specialist if necessary.
Infants need regular visits with a nurse who will monitor milestones and healthy development, and do basic health checks.
They also need intervention, whenever possible, in the case of physical birth defects, visual and hearing defects, etc.
Children also need a hygienic environment, including water to wash with and clean clothes to wear.
5. Sensory Stimulation
In order to develop the brain fully, children must get adequate sensory stimulation.
The basic 5 senses – taste, touch, sight, smell and hearing – as well as proprioception and the vestibularsystem must be well developed during the first few years.
Children learn everything through their senses and therefore require constant sensory stimulation. Here is an explanation of how children’s senses develop and how parents can aid this development.
6. A Home
As well as the need for shelter and warmth, children need a place that is home. This is a place they can feel safe and find comfort in as it is a constant in their life.
A home should be peaceful, organized and hygienic.
7. Educational Materials
Children who do not have access to basic, formative toys and educational equipment develop at a slower rate and do not receive adequate stimulation.
Educational toys need not be expensive and many waste products can be recycled to make your own materials.
8. Rest
Sleep is crucial for healthy development and for enabling children to concentrate and participate optimally during play or at school.
Children need a solid routine at home that involves a predictable bedtime and, depending on age, adequate daytime naps.
9. Play
Play is the most important activity during the first 6 years.
In order to play, children need time and space.
Children need to play for large periods of time every day to develop and grow. If much of their free time is taken up by screen time, extra classes and adult-planned activities, it is usually at the expense of their play time.
They also need the space – indoors and outdoors – to engage in free play, get plenty of fresh air, experiment and learn about their world.
10. Regular Movement
Healthy bodies need regular movement. Not only does movement help with concentration and learning, but it is also how children develop their gross motor and fine motor skills.
Kids need to exercise and move their bodies continuously, which they usually do through play. Allowing time for play, as well as sports or other activities is a crucial physical need.
11. Independence
Children need a fair amount of independence and freedom to develop well.
They need the freedom to move, play, explore and exercise their growing independence, without being overly restricted and controlled.
They also need to learn self-care tasks such as cleaning and dressing, feeding themselves and taking care of their general physical needs.

Physical needs of a child
Physical needs of a child
At home or at the daycare, children have physical needs that must be met which contribute to their total well being and comfort. Here are some ideas:
One of the important physical needs of children is a suitable environment which provides fresh air to breathe, clean water and a nutritious diet. The inhalation of fresh air is essential for good health and normal development. Consequently lack of fresh air can cause poor mental functioning in a child. It can result in the spread of airborne diseases like whooping cough and measles. Homes and nurseries should be properly ventilated in order to replace expired air with fresh air.
At home the children should not be exposed to paint fumes and dry cleaning solvents, cigarette smoke, chemicals present in detergents, cosmetics, food etc. Likewise, clean water and a nutritious balanced diet are also necessities for the normal development of the child.
Mealtimes in the nursery and at home are a very important aspect of caring for a child. Mealtimes should be set and regular so as to set up good eating habits and food given should be attractive and full of essential nutrients.
A suitable environment should also provide shelter and warmth for the child. Children should not be exposed to unsuitable variations of temperature. The home and nursery should be properly insulated from wild and harsh weather conditions by providing heating and cooling facilities when the need arises.
Physical exercise is important. Children should engage in exercises to encourage optimal development of their muscles, heart and lungs. Also exercises help good posture and co-ordination, as well as promoting a feeling of well being. Simple motor activities like hopping; jumping, skipping, and climbing should be encouraged.
Good and healthy habits are an important responsibility of parents and caregivers. Parents should make sure that their children are vaccinated at the right time. Likewise at school a visit from the schools doctor should be encouraged to create awareness
Safety is important. At home and in school the need for safety should be taken seriously. A fire extinguisher should be close by incase of fire accident.
The physical needs of a child are an important part of his/her development and should be taken seriously by parents and caregivers.

Safety | Potty Training | Promoting Growth and Development | Growth and Development | Physical Development | Cognitive Development | Emotional and Social Development | Language Development | Sensory and Motor Development
As physical growth and development slow during the ages of two to four, motor skills, cognitive development and language take huge strides. In just a few short years, your child will go from crawling and babbling as an infant to running, jumping and excitedly telling stories as a Kindergartener.
During a toddler’s physical development, children should see a pediatrician for at least yearly regular checkups and stay up-to-date on any immunizations.
In the years leading up to Kindergarten, it is important to provide a supportive and stimulating environment at home for your child’s continuing development. This can be achieved through ongoing positive parent / child / sibling interactions and the encouragement of healthy habits.
Safety
Accidental injuries are the leading cause of death in children ages two to four. Many of these injuries are preventable. As your child grows more mobile, make sure to be aware of and correct any safety issues inside and outside of your home.
Children of this age are prone to injuries from:
Falls – Playgrounds, stairs, bikes and windows are just a few fall hazards. Be aware of potentially dangerous situations that could lead to falling and injury.
Burns – Hot appliances, foods and liquids are potential dangers for children this age. Keep children away from appliances (irons, heaters, grills) and remember that these often stay hot long after they are turned off. Make sure to keep hot food or drink pushed back from the edge of the table or counter and out of reach of your child.
Poisoning – All potential hazards should be in locked cabinets or out of the child’s reach. Keep the poison control phone number 800.222.1222 readily available in your home.
Car Safety – Your child should be restrained in appropriate car seat at all times while the car is in motion. Practice awareness and safety when your child is walking or riding a bike near vehicle traffic. Children should not ride or walk in the street.
Potty Training
Most children are ready to begin toilet training between 22 and 30 months of age. Remember that with potty training, like with all other development, every child is different.
Wait to start potty training until your child is ready both physically and emotionally. Starting too early can cause a great amount of frustration for both parents and child. It is important to try to keep the experience a positive one.
Before beginning potty training, your child needs to have control of his or her bladder and bowels. Signs of this control include having a dry diaper after naps and for at least two hours at a time. Your child also should be having bowel movements around the same time each day, not during the night. In order for potty training to be successful, your son or daughter must be able to use a potty seat or potty chair on his or her own, which includes being able to climb up onto the seat, talk to a parent or caregiver and remove his or her own clothing.
If your child is emotionally ready, he or she should be willing to cooperate and might even talk about being a “big girl” or “big boy.” If your child resists, it’s better to stop for a while and then re-start potty training again at a different time.
Boys and girls are slightly different when it comes to potty training. Boys who start the toilet training process between 22 and 30 months of age tend to be fully trained by 38 months, while girls who start training at the same time are usually fully trained by 36 months, according to a study in the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
However, being fully trained does not mean that your child will not still need help at times It is common for children to need help wiping after a bowel movement, until age four or five, and to need adult supervision while using public restrooms, until age five or six.
Promoting Growth and Development
During ages two to four, you can promote excellent growth and development through encouraging age appropriate physical activity, helping your toddler create healthy eating habits, creating a safe and engaging environment for him or her to explore, providing interaction with peers, encouraging language development and building self-esteem.
Growth and Development
During the toddler years, your child will continue change dramatically in the following five main areas of development: physical, cognitive, emotional and social, language, and sensory and motor skills.
Every child develops and grows at his or her own pace, but it is important to know when to call your doctor about developmental concerns or delays. Your child’s growth and physical development are an important aspect of overall health and you should never hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician if you have questions or concerns about his or her development.
Every child is different. Always ask your pediatrician if you have questions or concerns.
Physical Development
While children tend to gain about three to five pounds and grow three to five inches between ages one and two, this rapid growth tends to slow down between ages two and five. During this time, your child will develop increasing strength and coordination.
Cognitive Development
After beginning to recognize familiar people and objects, between the age of one and two, your toddler will be better able to recall recent events. During this age your child will imitate others and will become much more imaginative, especially during play time. From two to five, the ability to think and understand grows greatly as children learn letters, numbers, symbols and colors.
Emotional and Social Development
The competing emotions that develop during this age are often behind the “terrible twos” label. From 12 to 24 months, children continue to develop strong bonds with their loved ones, while at the same time wanting to be more independent. Between ages two and four, your child will likely begin to like to “do it myself” and will want to make more choices on his or her own.
From age two to five, children learn more about their feelings and begin developing friendships with other children their age. Children begin to understand the difference between right and wrong at this age. They will look to their parents for limits and rules and will also often test these limits. Often, when children this age do something wrong, they will begin to feel guilty about it.
Language Development
Understanding progresses faster than speech in a toddler’s language development. Between 15 to 18 months, most toddlers know 10 times more words than they can verbally communicate. By the age of two, however, vocabularies can span between 50 and 100 words and children begin using two or more words in combination. By the age of five, children can use thousands of words to communicate and will speak in sentences.
Sensory and Motor Development
Improving motor skills make your child more mobile by age two. The toddler years are a time when your child will likely be in constant motion. Toddlers will quickly master walking and move on to running, jumping and climbing. Around age two, most toddlers will be able to navigate stairs, kick or throw a ball and draw simple lines. During this time, children may still stumble frequently and be accident prone. By age five, better control of fine motor skills allows children to dress and undress themselves (a necessity for toilet training) and write some letters.
Toddlers (1-2 years old) | CDC
Developmental Milestones
Skills such as taking a first step, smiling for the first time, and waving “bye-bye” are called developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, behave, and move (like crawling, walking, or jumping).
During the second year, toddlers are moving around more, and are aware of themselves and their surroundings. Their desire to explore new objects and people also is increasing. During this stage, toddlers will show greater independence; begin to show defiant behavior; recognize themselves in pictures or a mirror; and imitate the behavior of others, especially adults and older children. Toddlers also should be able to recognize the names of familiar people and objects, form simple phrases and sentences, and follow simple instructions and directions.
Positive Parenting Tips
Following are some of the things you, as a parent, can do to help your toddler during this time:
Read to your toddler daily.
Ask her to find objects for you or name body parts and objects.
Play matching games with your toddler, like shape sorting and simple puzzles.
Encourage him to explore and try new things.
Help to develop your toddler’s language by talking with her and adding to words she starts. For example, if your toddler says “baba”, you can respond, “Yes, you are right―that is a bottle.”
Encourage your child’s growing independence by letting him help with dressing himself and feeding himself.
Respond to wanted behaviors more than you punish unwanted behaviors (use only very brief time outs). Always tell or show your child what she should do instead.
Encourage your toddler’s curiosity and ability to recognize common objects by taking field trips together to the park or going on a bus ride.
Child Safety First
Because your child is moving around more, he will come across more dangers as well. Dangerous situations can happen quickly, so keep a close eye on your child. Here are a few tips to help keep your growing toddler safe:
Do NOT leave your toddler near or around water (for example, bathtubs, pools, ponds, lakes, whirlpools, or the ocean) without someone watching her. Fence off backyard pools. Drowning is the leading cause of injury and death among this age group.
Block off stairs with a small gate or fence. Lock doors to dangerous places such as the garage or basement.
Ensure that your home is toddler proof by placing plug covers on all unused electrical outlets.
Keep kitchen appliances, irons, and heaters out of reach of your toddler. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove.
Keep sharp objects such as scissors, knives, and pens in a safe place.
Lock up medicines, household cleaners, and poisons.
Do NOT leave your toddler alone in any vehicle (that means a car, truck, or van) even for a few moments.
Store any guns in a safe place out of his reach.
Keep your child’s car seat rear-facing as long as possible. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration pdf icon[1.15 MB / 1 page]external icon it’s the best way to keep her safe. Your child should remain in a rear-facing car seat until she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by the car seat’s manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the rear-facing car seat, she is ready to travel in a forward-facing car seat with a harness.

Healthy Bodies
Give your child water and plain milk instead of sugary drinks. After the first year, when your nursing toddler is eating more and different solid foods, breast milk is still an ideal addition to his diet.
Your toddler might become a very picky and erratic eater. Toddlers need less food because they don’t grow as fast. It’s best not to battle with him over this. Offer a selection of healthy foods and let him choose what she wants. Keep trying new foods; it might take time for him to learn to like them.
Limit screen time and develop a media use plan for your family.external icon For children younger than 18 months of age, the AAP recommends that it’s best if toddlers not use any screen media other than video chatting.
Your toddler will seem to be moving continually—running, kicking, climbing, or jumping. Let him be active—he’s developing his coordination and becoming strong.
Make sure your child gets the recommended amount of sleep each night: For toddlers 1-2 years, 11–14 hours per 24 hours (including naps)

What Every Child Needs For Good Mental Health
It is easy for parents to identify their child’s physical needs: nutritious food, warm clothes when it’s cold, bedtime at a reasonable hour. However, a child’s mental and emotional needs may not be as obvious. Good mental health allows children to think clearly, develop socially and learn new skills. Additionally, good friends and encouraging words from adults are all important for helping children develop self confidence, high self-esteem, and a healthy emotional outlook on life.
A child’s physical and mental health are both important.
Basics for a child’s good physical health:
Nutritious food
Adequate shelter and sleep
Exercise
Immunizations
Healthy living environment
Basics for a child’s good mental health:
Unconditional love from family
Self-confidence and high self-esteem
The opportunity to play with other children
Encouraging teachers and supportive caretakers
Safe and secure surroundings
Appropriate guidance and discipline
Give children unconditional love.
Love, security and acceptance should be at the heart of family life. Children need to know that your love does not depend on his or her accomplishments.
Mistakes and/or defeats should be expected and accepted. Confidence grows in a home that is full of unconditional love and affection.
Nurture children’s confidence and self-esteem.
Make time for play!
Encourage Children to Play
To children, play is just fun. However, playtime is as important to their development as food and good care. Playtime helps children be creative, learn problem-solving skills and learn self-control. Good, hardy play, which includes running and yelling, is not only fun, but helps children to be physically and mentally healthy.
Children Need Playmates
Sometimes it is important for children to have time with their peers. By playing with others, children discover their strengths and weaknesses, develop a sense of belonging, and learn how to get along with others. Consider finding a good children’s program through neighbors, local community centers, schools, or your local park and recreation department.
Parents Can be Great Playmates
Join the fun! Playing Monopoly or coloring with a child gives you a great opportunity to share ideas and spend time together in a relaxed setting.
Play for Fun
Winning is not as important as being involved and enjoying the activity. One of the most important questions to ask children is “Did you have fun?’’ not “Did you win?”
In our goal-oriented society, we often acknowledge only success and winning. This attitude can be discouraging and frustrating to children who are learning and experimenting with new activities. It’s more important for children to participate and enjoy themselves.
TV use should be monitored
Try not to use TV as a “baby-sitter” on a regular basis. Be selective in choosing television shows for children. Some shows can be educational as well as entertaining.
School should be fun!
Starting school is a big event for children. “Playing school” can be a positive way to give them a glimpse of school life.
Try to enroll them in a pre-school, Head Start, or similar community program which provides an opportunity to be with other kids and make new friends. Children can also learn academic basics as well as how to make decisions and cope with problems.
Provide appropriate guidance and instructive discipline
Children need the opportunity to explore and develop new skills and independence. At the same time, children need to learn that certain behaviors are unacceptable and that they are responsible for the consequences of their actions.
As members of a family, children need to learn the rules of the family unit. Offer guidance and discipline that is fair and consistent. They will take these social skills and rules of conduct to school and eventually to the workplace.
Suggestions on Guidance and Discipline
Be firm, but kind and realistic with your expectations. Children’s development depends on your love and encouragement.
Set a good example. You cannot expect self-control and self-discipline from a child if you do not practice this behavior.
Criticize the behavior, not the child. It is best to say, “That was a bad thing you did,” rather than “You are a bad boy or girl.”
Avoid nagging, threats and bribery.Children will learn to ignore nagging, and threats and bribes are seldom effective.
Give children the reasons “why” you are disciplining them and what the potential consequences of their actions might be.
Talk about your feelings. We all lose our temper from time to time. If you do “blow your top,” it is important to talk about what happened and why you are angry. Apologize if you were wrong!
Remember, the goal is not to control the child, but for him or her to learn self-control.
Provide a safe and secure home.
It’s okay for children to feel afraid sometimes. Everyone is afraid of something at some point in their life. Fear and anxiety grow out of experiences that we do not understand.
If your children have fears that will not go away and affect his or her behavior, the first step is to find out what is frightening them. Be loving, patient and reassuring, not critical. Remember: the fear may be very real to the child.
Signs of Fear
Nervous mannerisms, shyness, withdrawal and aggressive behavior may be signs of childhood fears. A change in normal eating and sleeping patterns may also signal an unhealthy fear. Children who “play sick” or feel anxious regularly may have some problems that need attention.
Fear of school can occur following a stressful event such as moving to a new neighborhood, changing schools, or after a bad incident at school.
Children may not want to go to school after a period of being at home because of an illness.
When to seek help
Parents and family members are usually the first to notice if a child has problems with emotions or behavior. Your observations with those of teachers and other caregivers may lead you to seek help for your child. If you suspect a problem or have questions, consult your pediatrician or contact a mental health professional.
Warning Signs
The following signs may indicate the need for professional assistance or evaluation:
Decline in school performance
Poor grades despite strong efforts
Regular worry or anxiety
Repeated refusal to go to school or take part in normal children’s activities
Hyperactivity or fidgeting
Persistent nightmares
Persistent disobedience or aggression
Frequent temper tantrums
Depression, sadness or irritability

CHILD’S NEEDS IN DIFFERENT PERIODS OF LIFE
Infant, 0—1 year old KEY WORDS: love, tenderness, attention. Fortunately for our generation, the false idea that children need to be educated and disciplined from the very cradle has already been abandoned today. A baby is pure gold in the spiritual sense. By cherishing his innocence, we can find our way back to ourselves. So those parents who are students of their child are on the right track. Touching your child, taking him in your arms, protecting him from all dangers, playing with him and giving him your attention, you establish a spiritual connection with him. Without these “primitive” reactions from what surrounds it, the human body cannot flourish magnificently – it will wither and lose strength just like a flower deprived of sunlight.
Walking child, 1-2 years old KEY WORDS: freedom, encouragement, respect. At this stage of his development the child acquires an ego for the first time. Here the word ego is used in its simplest sense, as “I”, as the recognition of “I am.” This is a dangerous time because for the first time the child experiences separation from his parents. The lure of freedom and curiosity push in one direction, but fear and uncertainty pull in another. Not all experiences associated with being left to your own devices are pleasant. Therefore, it is at this time that parents should teach the spiritual lesson without which no child can truly develop into an independent individual: the world is safe. If you, as an adult, feel safe, it means that sometime, when you were not yet one or two years old, you were not conditioned by fear: instead, your parents encouraged your unlimited development, taught you to value freedom, despite on the wounds that the child receives from time to time, colliding with the things of this world around him. Falling is not the same thing as being defeated, experiencing pain is not the same thing as deciding that the world is dangerous. Trauma is nothing but the means which Nature uses to tell the child where the boundary is; pain exists to show the young child where “I” begins and ends, to help him avoid potential dangers like getting burned or falling down stairs. When parents distort this natural learning process, the result is a feeling of psychological pain, which was not at all the intention of Nature. Physiological pain sets boundaries that you cannot cross without experiencing deep anxiety about your condition. If a child attributes injury to being bad, weak, incapable of coping, or surrounded by danger, there is no room for inner spiritual growth. Without a sense of security, the spirit is unattainable: a person is always trying to simply feel secure in this world, but this security cannot be achieved until he gets rid of the imprints received in early childhood.
Preschoolers, 2-5 years old KEY WORDS: laudable, researching, approved. At this stage, the child develops a sense of self-respect. Self-respect ensures the willingness to leave the family to face the vast world. This is a period of tasks and tests. Until the child is two or three years old, he does not bear any responsibility for the tasks assigned to him – it is enough for him to play and be cheerful. At this time, the only spiritual duty is to feed the delight that the “I” of the child experiences when it opens to the new world. Simultaneously with the teaching of neatness and the ability to independently hold a spoon, the child begins to realize that “I am” can be expanded to “I can.” When the ego of a two-year-old person has realized this, nothing can stop him. It thinks that the whole world belongs to it – and, of course, all members of its family. “I” at this time is like a power generator just turned on, and, what is especially scary, the newborn ego uses this power in the most unorganized way. Shouting, yelling, dodging, using the all-powerful word no! and in general, attempts to control reality with the help of one’s own desire – this is exactly what should happen at this age. In a spiritual sense, the value of this preschool age is that this power is a spiritual power, and only its distortions lead to problems. So instead of holding back those bursts of energy in your child, channel them into tasks and challenges that teach balance. In the absence of balance, the uncontrollable desire of the preschooler to exercise his power leads to grief, because what he experiences is mostly an illusion of power. A non-stop chattering two-year-old is still a tiny, vulnerable, unformed character. In our love for children, we allow illusions, because we want them to grow up to be strong, intelligent people, ready for any test. But such a sense of self-respect cannot be developed in a child if, at this age, the feeling that he has power is stopped or suppressed.
Kindergarten-first grade primary school age, 5-8 years old KEY WORDS: giving, ability to share, nonjudgment, acceptance, sincerity. Key words that apply to the first school years have a more social connotation. Of course, there are many other words, because when a child at the age of five comprehends the world, his brain is so complex and active that he learns and tests countless different concepts. In addition, I do not want to say at all that the education of the ability to share, give what you have to another and tell the truth can be neglected in earlier years, but the critical moment of this particular age is that at this time the child begins to assimilate abstract concepts. The concrete thinking mind of an infant, which did not understand the reasons for your behavior, but only felt, now acquires the ability to perceive reality beyond “I am”, “I want” and “I am first. ” The way we give at any age shows how much we empathize with the needs of those around us. If, in giving, we see it as a loss – I have to give up something so that you can have it – then the spiritual lesson at this stage has not been passed. Giving in the spiritual sense means: “I give you without losing anything, because you are a part of me.” A small child cannot fully embrace this idea, but he can feel it. Kids don’t just want to share, they love to share. They feel the warmth that comes from crossing the boundaries of the ego and incorporating another person into their world – there is no greater proof of intimacy, and therefore no other action causes such bliss. The same can be said about truthfulness. We lie to protect ourselves, to prevent the danger of punishment. Fear of punishment implies internal tension, and even if lying does protect against perceived danger, it very rarely, if ever, helps to get rid of this internal tension. Only the truth can do this. When a young child is taught that telling the truth will make him feel good, he is taking the first step towards realizing that the truth has spiritual value. It is not necessary to resort to punishments. If you teach a child the attitude of “tell the truth or you will get in trouble,” you are teaching a spiritual falsehood. A child who is tempted to lie is under the influence of fear. If the truth about this fear comes to consciousness, the mind quite logically tries to do the best thing by telling the truth. In any case, you are forcing the child to do better than you think he really is. Learning to act on the demands of others is a sure recipe for spiritual destruction. Your child should feel: “this is what I myself want to do.”
Older children, 8-12 years old KEY WORDS: independence of judgment, intelligibility, insight. For many parents, this is the stage of child development that brings the most joy, because it is at this time that children develop personality and independence. They begin to think in their own way, they develop hobbies, likes and dislikes, enthusiasm, an increased desire to discover something that can remain for life, such as a love of science or art. The key spiritual concepts applicable to this age are fully consistent with this exciting phase. Although it sounds dry, “clearness” is a beautiful quality of the soul. It is much more than just distinguishing good from bad. During these years, the nervous system itself is able to maintain a keen sense of the greatest depth and importance of the future. A ten-year-old child is capable of wisdom, and, first of all, we are talking about the most delicate gift – personal insight into the essence of things. The child is able to see with his own eyes and judge on the basis of what he sees: he no longer receives the world from second hands – from the hands of adults. Therefore, this is the first stage when any concept such as “spiritual law” can be assimilated speculatively. Until then, the law appears to be like a rule to be followed or at least paid attention to. Instead of using the word law, parents can use the words “how it works” or “why it works the way it does” or “do it the way you feel it’s good. ” This is a more specific way of learning based on experience. However, at the age of ten years or so, abstract reasoning takes an independent turn, and experience now becomes a real teacher, instead of an authoritative person. Why this happens is a spiritual mystery, because the experience was present from birth, but for some reason the world suddenly spoke to the child: a deep understanding comes to him from within why it is right or not, why truth and love mean so much.
Early adolescence, 12-15 years old KEY WORDS: self-awareness, experimentation, responsibility. Childhood ends and adolescence begins, a time that is considered to be difficult and difficult. Childhood innocence suddenly turns into puberty, and the young creature has needs that parents can no longer satisfy. Parents are beginning to realize that the time has come to let go of their children and trust that they are capable of dealing with a world of responsibility and pressure, to which, perhaps, the parents themselves have just learned to adapt, getting rid of the feeling of insecurity. The decisive thing now is that the lessons learned in childhood begin to bear fruit, sweet or bitter. A child who goes into the world with the imprint of genuine spiritual knowledge will reflect the pride and trust of their parents. A child who moves stumbling, utterly confused, desperately experimenting, and constantly under pressure from his peers, most likely reflects the hidden disorder of his upbringing. Adolescence is a time of notorious shyness, but it can also be a time of self-awareness. When childhood ends, experimentation is perfectly natural, but it should not be reckless and destructive. The whole question is whether the child has an inner self that can be used as an adviser. This inner self is an inaudible voice that has the power to choose between right and wrong, based on a deep understanding of life. Age is irrelevant to this understanding. A newborn baby has it to the same extent as a mature adult. The difference lies in the fact that an adult adheres to the behavior that is determined by the inner adviser, and if you have taught your child to listen to his own silence, you can safely release him into the world no longer as a child. It is a very joyful experience (albeit nerve-wracking at times) to watch as a growing child grows in self-awareness as a result of experimenting with the many choices that life provides.

5 secrets of children’s happiness. Child’s Needs
This resource is for those who want to raise their children to be happy.
If our goals are the same, then “Welcome!”.
This page is a guide to the project, its basics and principles.
There are thousands of books, lectures and articles on parenting.
This is not a set of tips, but a new look at old problems.
All you heard about Abraham Maslow’s pyramid of needs.
Maslow developed this concept, but he studied adults.
It is ideal for understanding what makes a person happy and what makes them unhappy.
I adapted Maslow’s theory for raising happy children.
Any whim, fear, disobedience, aggression, etc. explained by this theory.
And what’s more, by understanding your child’s needs, you can not only understand his behavior, but also correct it !
You can find out for yourself
how happy your child is today!
How does it work?!
Watch the video or read the explanation.
To understand, we need to understand some concepts.
True needs are the inborn desires of every person, whether it be hunger or the desire to learn.
There are five true needs according to Maslow:
Physiological.
The need for security.
Need for love.
The need for self-actualization.
The need for socialization.
Maslow called people with a high degree of satisfaction of needs highly actualized people, i.e. people who reach their full potential.
Maslow: “I imagine a self-actualized person not as an ordinary person to whom something has been added, but as an ordinary person from whom nothing has been taken away.”
Frustration — dissatisfaction of needs, leads to the fact that the child grows up unhappy. Systematic frustration of needs leads to inhibition and distortion of the formation of the child’s personality.
Maslow: “An unsatisfied need causes him a feeling of humiliation, weakness, helplessness, which, in turn, serve as the basis for despondency, trigger compensatory and neurotic mechanisms.”
Learn about the importance of children’s needs!
Physiological needs is the base of the pyramid.
Have you noticed that children become moody during illness or lack of sleep? This is the simplest example of the frustration of the physiological needs of a growing organism.
Health problems always leave an imprint on a child’s personality.
Since this is the frustration of a basic need, it snowballs into the frustration of other needs as well.
Without a strong foundation, the house will collapse.
Even when the higher needs are frustrated, physiology often falls first.
These are diseases from the nerves; if trite, then the child was overexcited, nervous and ill.
But this can be a one-time thing, or it can be a pattern that specifically spoils the life of all family members.
More in video:
Safety needs
« security needs; in stability; depending; in defense; in freedom from fear, anxiety and chaos; the need for structure, order, law, restrictions; other needs” (A. Maslow).
What are the consequences of not meeting the need for security?
1) To a general feeling of anxiety, which can result in specific fears.
2) Appetite and sleep disorders, i.e. physiological needs.
3) Dependence on parents, i.e. there is no self-actualization of the child. The child cannot do anything on his own, sleeps with his parents, does not let his mother go, etc.
4) This may be disobedience, the child may become hysterical, fight in search of stable boundaries.
I reveal the full picture here:
The need for love is the basis for building a trusting relationship with a child. It is the child’s need for the unconditional love of his parents.
Unfortunately, most of those who have now become parents did not know unconditional love in their childhood.
If you were constantly pulled down, labeled, tried to mold you into some kind of person, blamed you for tears and anger, demanded some kind of results from you, etc. means you grew up in the frustration of the need for love.
And they seem to be quite happy, right?
Only those childhood grievances, that desire to prove to your parents that you are better than you really are, parents will not understand, fear of failure, self-doubt, anger at the tears of their children, not understanding how to react to tantrums – it’s all from there …
Without all this, you would be much happier.
The need for socialization – the desire to be part of the team.
This is one of the highest needs.
One child can fight for a place in the sun.
He can aggressively defend his own, fight, call names, etc. And each time to receive a negative assessment of their behavior, and probably their personality in general.
From here comes the frustration of the need for acceptance and love, and we have already discussed this scenario.
The other child, on the contrary, will withdraw, try to become gray and inconspicuous. Here is another danger.
Such a child is very likely to become dependent on someone; will lose its independence.
The need for self-actualization is a multilevel need. Here is the need for independence, and for knowledge, and for justice, aesthetics, self-expression, and so on.
The main problems parents face are lack of independence, laziness, lack of desire to learn.
All these are the consequences of frustrations!
What causes the frustration of the need for self-actualization, I tell in the video:
How to raise a happy child?
Now you understand that bad behavior, conflicts, disobedience, etc. These are all signs of frustration.
So, you can stop beating around the bush, you can break out of the vicious circle and finally satisfy the true needs of the child.
The system of needs allows you to put everything on the shelves!
Of course, knowing about the needs themselves is not enough.
This is just the beginning of your journey.
And you are moving in the right direction.

Children’s Energy and Nutrient Requirements
Energy Requirements
Young children use more energy per kilogram of body weight than adults because of height. 2-3-year-old children spend about 3% on growth, and older children less than 2% of the energy received.

Within the same age group, the weight of children can vary significantly, especially during adolescence. When calculating the amount of energy needed, for example, in overweight children, the result may be too high, since the main calculation criterion is body weight. When estimating the amount of energy needed based solely on body weight, it is not taken into account that an overweight body contains a relatively high percentage of fat, but it is still necessary to calculate energy needs from normal weight. Therefore, when calculating the required amount of energy consumed for an overweight child, it is worth proceeding from his height and the corresponding normal body weight.
Daily need for energy for children aged 2-10 years (kcal/per day)
1 The interest in the table satisfies at least 97-98 % of the physiological needs of the person
. needs of a person for some objective reason (for example, weight loss or something else) daily energy intake is below the recommended minimum, the required amount of proteins and fats should be calculated based on the minimum amount of energy needed per day
3 Percentage of energy from carbohydrates also includes energy from dietary fiber; usually it is 2-3% E
4 Trans fats are also natural. Their constant content should not exceed more than 1%E per day. By following these nutritional guidelines, this amount should not be consistently exceeded.
Protein Requirements
The recommended protein intake for infants is based on an assessment of basic and growth requirements, the efficiency of digestion of dietary proteins into body proteins, and individual growth rate. For children aged 12-21 months, protein should make up 10-15% of dietary energy.
Excess protein intake in early childhood increases the risk of obesity later in life. Based on the available data, it can be assumed that excessive protein intake in the amount of 15-20% of total energy intake during the first two years of life can provoke obesity later in life.
According to the recommendations, up to 75% of the protein in the diet of children and adolescents should come from protein of animal origin with a high biovalue.
Fat requirement of young children
Fiber requirement
From the age of two, a child needs 8-13 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. From school age, this number increases and gradually reaches the level recommended by adults.
Added sugar recommendations.
The daily amount of added sugars (sucrose, fructose and carbohydrate hydrolyzate) should be kept below 10%E (ideally below 5%E).
Fluid requirement
In case of thirst, drinking water without additives should always be preferred. The fluid requirement of children per kilogram of body weight is higher than that of adults, since the fluid content in their bodies is also higher. Regardless of age, the feeling of thirst is a sign of a lack of fluid, which must be eliminated as quickly as possible, that is, replenish the level, preferably with ordinary drinking water.

The needs of the child in different periods of preschool childhood | Article on the topic:
Preschool childhood is the age of the most rapid physical and mental development of the child, the initial formation of the qualities necessary for a person during his subsequent life, the properties that later make up his individuality. Let’s look at preschool childhood, dear parents, through the prism of needs, motives, orientation, for which we turn to A. Maslow’s pyramid of needs.
All human needs are organized into a hierarchical system: physiological, security and protection, belonging and love, self-respect, self-actualization or personal self-improvement. The main idea is that the needs located below must be more or less satisfied before a person can become aware of the presence of needs of a higher order. The physiological side of needs (food, water, physical activity) is very important for preschool childhood. There is a feature of preschool childhood – the relationship and interdependence of the state of health, physical and neuropsychic development of children. The physiological needs of the child are fully satisfied, which means that his normal development is going on. Of course, in our modern life, only we, parents, choose healthy food, clean water for our child, we are responsible with you for meeting the most powerful and urgent physiological needs. The period of preschool childhood has several critical periods – 1, 2, 3 years, 6-7 years. These crises are associated with the realization of a new level of claims and needs. This brings us to the second step in Maslow’s pyramid of needs – security and protection: the organization of stability, order, predictability of events and freedom from threats such as disease, fear, chaos. Preschoolers experience anxiety, turning into affects, if the situation around them is rapidly changing. Everyone knows the difficulties of adaptation periods in children during the transition, first to a preschool educational institution, and then to school. A certain guarantor of meeting the need for security for the child, dear parents, the presence in the environment, primarily in the family, in the preschool institution of stability, order, implemented in regime moments. The author of the pyramid of needs argued that if discipline and regime are absent in the environment of the child, then he does not feel protected from the external environment (does not want to stay in kindergarten, asks to pick up early, does not agree to go to his grandmother). If parents raise a child without restricting him in any way, allowing everything, they do not create beacons of stability for him, which will subsequently lead to uncertain consequences. Parental quarrels, accidental physical abuse, separation, divorce are factors that violate the child’s necessary sense of protection and security. This is where uncontrollability, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and anxiety arise.
Another important point for parents is the next step in the pyramid of needs – belonging and love, self-respect needs, etc. Observations show that the emotional comfort of the child is directly related to the need to feel love and acceptance from others, and acceptance from the outside peers. Dear parents, tell your children about your love for them and ask how he is doing in the group, with whom he plays, how he communicates. The older the child, the more significant social relations are for him, and this means that the child masters the level of the pyramid – respect and self-respect. Preschool children strive for recognition and approval from others. Give them recognition, approve of their actions, results.
Self-esteem of a preschooler is usually overestimated. Such an assessment for a small child is natural, logical and serves as a personal defense mechanism in cases where someone negatively evaluates his personal qualities or compares his behavior with someone else. A child of 3-5 years old needs praise, a positive assessment from an adult.
When discussing a child’s behavior, it makes sense to assess not his personality as a whole (good, kind, but specific actions and deeds. Never compare your children with other children and their achievements. With age, a more adequate assessment of the child develops his own statements, etc. e. Under healthy conditions (when nothing threatens the satisfaction of the basic needs of a person), growth brings pleasure and a person strives to become as good as his abilities allow, and this is the next, highest need of the pyramid – self-actualization, which means “to be at peace with oneself ourselves”. We, respected parents, must lead our children to this stage of the pyramid of needs. Therefore, in the process of self-knowledge and self-actualization, it is very important to maintain the need for positive self-esteem, to promote the development of faith in oneself, one’s strengths (“I can”, independence (“I himself”). It is necessary to develop an adequate self-assessment of the statements and actions that determine the success the strength of interpersonal communication and behavior, as well as an assessment of one’s own capabilities and judgments. The period of preschool childhood is recognized as valuable in itself, one of the most important stages in the development of the formation of the personality and individuality of a person.
The role played by an adult in the process of development, adaptation and socialization of a preschooler cannot be overestimated. A parent, an educator must ensure the satisfaction of not only the basic needs of the child – physiological, safety and protection, but also a higher level – belonging, love, respect, and also create conditions for self-actualization of the emerging personality today and tomorrow.
Dear parents, everything is in your hands, it is you who can form, develop a full-fledged interesting, extraordinary personality.

Lateral navigation
At this age, a child needs an adult to meet his needs. He does not feel like a separate person from his parents. The child’s opinion of himself is formed by the way the person who cares about him treats him.
At this age, the child learns:
to trust his environment;
believe in the importance of his needs;
feel loved and deserving of care;
establish a relationship with a person who cares about him;
discover the world.
A parent can support a child’s development if:
offers the child calm and constant care;
fulfills the baby’s needs as much as possible – knows the importance of holding her baby and hugging her when the baby cries. It is worth remembering that at this age a child cannot be spoiled;
creates and maintains daily routines and habits (time for sleeping, bathing, eating) to make the child feel safe;
talks to his child, even if the child does not understand the meaning of the parent’s words. The child understands attention, warmth and love;
creates a child-safe environment in which the child can explore the world.
The development of the child does not go smoothly and smoothly. Difficulties, ups and downs, confusions, anxieties, etc. can arise. Having constant people, their constant availability, the exact structure of the day, the consistency in behavior and actions calm the child and give him much of the necessary sense of security. Each change is a psychological stress, from which the delicate nervous system of the child must be protected. Steady rituals stabilize the psyche, since similar repeated actions make the world around and what is happening in it understandable and predictable. The routine that surrounds the child in interactions and in dealing with the world causes a calm development and gives him a sense of confidence. Later in life, the child will begin to form his own personal structures based on these early experiences.
The child demonstrates his inner state and needs mainly in physical ways, since his vocabulary is still insufficient, and the ability for introspection has not been sufficiently developed. The child’s behavior makes it possible to judge whether his needs are met. An unsatisfied need or desire creates a feeling of discomfort in the body, under the influence of which the child demonstrates a reaction. A small child is impulsive, so he can start to fight or bite at lightning speed. Instead of giving the child a negative assessment (“Bad child!”), It is worth reflecting his feelings (“You wanted”, “You didn’t like that”, “You were angry because”) and show how be a decision (“Let’s make it so that…”). Make sure your child’s needs for intimacy, safety, sleep, food, movement, exploration, and adventure are met.
If we could look into a child’s brain during an attack of stubbornness, we would see that it is overheated and “frozen”. Focusing on your desires (“I want!”, “I don’t want!”) Gives the child something like a fulcrum. A child in a fit of stubbornness needs help, he cries, relieving tension with such behavior. Scolding a child, ignoring him or demanding to calm down does not mean helping the child. To let him cry, to accept his condition means to help him cope. A child in a fit of hysterical crying will help to restore balance for a long time in his arms. The latter should be done with tenderness and confidence, which even a child could rely on.
Rapid mood swings are natural for a child. It is absolutely necessary to understand all the feelings of the child and allow them to be shown: anger, irritation, all-consuming happiness, anxiety, sadness, joy … It is important that it is fixed in the mind of the child that he can express all his feelings. This lets him know that he is loved for who he is. Each feeling indicates a need already satisfied or requiring satisfaction. The psychological and physical needs of the child must be met. A quick change of mood can be caused not only by a lack of attention from parents, but also by many other circumstances, such as: a large number of prohibitions, inconstancy of boundaries and rules, cutting teeth or any other significant change in development, abdominal pain, hunger, lack of sleep, excess or lack of incentives in the outside world, the inconstancy of the mood of parents and much more.
A one-year-old child is not yet able to understand the rules and keep prohibitions in mind. The space around the child must be organized so that he can safely move in it, exploring objects and environments, without the need to be constantly interrupted by prohibitions. “Don’t take, don’t go, don’t do” sounds mostly threatening and provokes unnecessary stress in the child. Feedback with the child should be built in such a way that he does not have the feeling that something is wrong with him. Exploring objects, trying them on the tooth and touch, the child develops. When it is necessary to interrupt a child, it is better to use the word STOP than a threatening “no”. Instead of “can’t” you can say “we can do this” … The direction of movement of a small child can be changed by taking him in your arms and offering him a substitute action. Free movement in space and the opportunity to explore it must be organized for the child in a safe environment for him.

What should parents give their child? The 5 Basic Needs
Child development experts say that the ability of parents to meet the basic needs of a child influences the child’s perception of the world around him. Children learn to feel love, emotional support and security from their parents. In addition, when parents take sufficient care to meet their children’s basic needs, their children grow up to be emotionally stable, caring, healthy, and independent adults. There is a fairly large list of basic children’s needs, but the most important ones remain: basic physical needs, a sense of security, a trusting relationship with an adult, the need for self-esteem, the need for self-actualization and education.
Basic physical needs
It is believed that the physiological needs of the body for water, food, air and sleep should be satisfied in the first place. As a parent, you can meet these needs by making sure your child’s diet is healthy and balanced, along with eating and sleeping patterns. It will be very good if you have morning and evening rituals when your child will wash, brush his teeth and take a bath or shower. It is important not to forget about regular medical examinations and physical exercises.
Feeling safe
According to Maslow’s pyramid of need, children are very sensitive to security issues, it is extremely important for them that the need for security is fully satisfied. To do this, you as a parent need to ensure that your child is physically safe and free from fear. A safe and comfortable home environment can help meet this need. Give your child emotional support and comfort when they need it. If you show your child by example how you can control yourself no matter how angry you are, it will be much easier for him to master this skill. Never threaten or physically harm your child.

Trusting an Adult
An important need for your child is a trusting relationship with an adult(s). Maslow argued that a person constantly struggles with feelings of loneliness through the creation of trusting and close relationships with other people. Children need a sense of love, affection and belonging to a loved one. Children learn to build close relationships through adult examples. We show them how to build relationships with other people, how to trust and receive trust in return. To meet your child’s need for closeness and trust, you must constantly show him that your love is unconditional. Do not neglect physical contact: hug, kiss and caress your children as often as possible. Do not forget that a personal example is the best thing you can give your children. Discuss with children their needs, thoughts and feelings, and accept them for who they are.
Need for self-esteem
All human beings have a need for high self-esteem and respect. When this need is met, your child feels confident and feels that he is a valued member of society. When this need is not met, the child feels worthless and insecure. You can help your child by giving them unconditional love and support. Also, encourage your children if they show honesty, independence, or other positive qualities. Sincere praise lays a good foundation for the formation of proper self-esteem. Gently guide your children: let them make their own choices, teach them to be proud of their own merits. Making mistakes on your own is the best experience for your child, do not miss giving him the opportunity to learn. If your child feels supported by you, then he will not be afraid to try new things, experiment, and in case of failure, your child will not be ashamed or upset, he will try to correct the mistake or save the experience for the future.
The need for self-actualization and education
For your child to grow up to be independent and successful, you must satisfy the child’s need for self-actualization and education. Self-actualization is the desire of a person to more fully identify and develop their abilities. When this need is not met, the child may feel very insecure. You can help your child meet this need by encouraging his interests and the pursuit of new knowledge. Help your child with homework, play educational games and read. In addition, you can share your personal interests with the child and captivate him.
