The 50 Best Public Elementary Schools In The U.S.

Elementary school marks a life-changing experience for children. Regardless of their preschool experience, on the first day of kindergarten, each child walks into a new world — a world that excites growing minds, a world that can intimidate, and a world that fundamentally forms a child’s impression of learning and education.

We believe the schools in this ranking exemplify the very best in elementary education. The aim of this ranking is to showcase just how good US education at the elementary-level can be. This is an American success story!

Some schools on this list may seem to have unfair advantages (better resources, more money, etc.). The common denominator, however, is that all schools listed here, working with what they have, create environments that are highly effective at stimulating learning and fostering personal growth.

We paid attention to aspects of the schools that we believe help create such effective environments. The schools on this list are not solely concerned with academics. In addition, these schools pay attention to variety, innovation, fun, and strong parental and community involvement.

This is a ranking article, sure, but we hope the take-away lesson is not whether a school was #20 or #41, #1 or #50. Every high-performing school on this list deserves your attention! These schools show what highly-motivated faculty, staff, parents, and students can achieve by raising expectations, rewarding hard work, and building character.

6. Marion Cross School

Norwich, Vermont

Frequently schools get caught up in the need for high scores on math and reading and give less attention to other subjects which may be tested, but that are not used to determine a school’s adequate yearly progress. This is not true at Marion Cross School where fourth and fifth graders did very well on the science and writing tests, respectively, narrowly outperforming other top schools in the state.

Students study the normal academic courses, but also take lessons in French, health, environmental education, technology, P.E., music, art, and library. Students have several innovative art projects to complete throughout the year. Many of these projects are featured on a special art website, displaying a wide array of creativity and talent. From insect drawings from first graders to group projects in fifth grade where each group is assigned a national park to depict in their drawings, art is integrated into other subjects in the curriculum, especially science.

Through the LEEEP (Learning about the Environment through Experiential Education Projects) Program, students complete outdoor projects to teach them about, and give them an appreciation for, the natural world through environmental inquiry.

Methodology

Only schools that included grades three through five were considered for this list. Moreover, we focused on the scores and achievements of only the third, fourth, and fifth grades. When looking at state assessment scores, all state-administered tests were considered in a school’s overall average for grades three through five.

Many schools on this list earned Blue Ribbon awards from the Department of Education. Schools have to apply and qualify in order to be chosen for this award. Schools cannot reapply for five years, so obtaining this award is a significant achievement no matter the year in which it was received. America has approximately 70,000 public elementary schools, and thousands of these schools apply annually for the award. But each year only about 300 receive the coveted Blue Ribbon.

This list of schools includes a few not located in America’s 50 states (Alabama through Wyoming). All out-of-country schools on this list are run by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). They are located on military bases and operated by certified teachers. The schools have AdvanceEd accreditation and are recognized by the US Senate as American schools.

Life for military children can be challenging because they must frequently move from base to base. Correspondingly, teachers and administrators at these schools face the challenge of an ever-changing student body. Yet such challenges also present unique opportunities, such as linguistic and cultural enrichment through a Host Nation Program. This is why a DoDEA school is ranked number one on this list.

Forms of assessment in primary school lessons

Introduction

Primary school assessment is considered one of the most important, but at the same time, the most problematic areas. Toddler assessment system is designed to help the child gain self-confidence and healthy self-criticism or, in other words, healthy self-esteem. Teachers evaluate their students not completely objectively, not like robots, but as fair and benevolent people, taking into account the individual characteristics of the child (attention, memory, thinking, imagination, perception, speech ….)

Goals:

• help the child gain self-confidence and healthy self-esteem;
• creation of optimal pedagogical conditions for the formation of the foundations of educational activities.

Objectives:

• to cultivate academic independence in schoolchildren as the ability to expand their knowledge, skills and abilities on their own initiative.

Expected result: Successful student.

Theoretical generalization of the topic:

Assessment is one of the main components of the learning process.

Evaluation function – get, evaluate and show the learning outcome.

There are two approaches to assessment in the modern educational system:

• assessment for assessment
• assessment for learning

Assessment for assessment is a monitoring function recognized to determine what a student has learned at a particular moment.

With this form of assessment, the student’s achievements are compared with the established standards, which corresponds to the conclusion: meets / does not meet the standard, level, approved scoring scale.

Assessment for learning is a function of the learning system that facilitates the learning process and is primarily aimed at identifying the capabilities and potential of the learner in their learning.

This is a tool used simultaneously to determine the qualitative characteristics of the education of the student and the progress of the teacher and to establish the level achieved in learning by the student, teacher and educational institution.

This is a way to correct the training program by the students themselves and the teacher’s activities in organizing work with the student.

Let’s consider the evaluation process carried out by the teacher in order to determine the effectiveness of students’ activities.

This process involves the student demonstrating knowledge and skills and the teacher who organized the observation, ensured the collection, analysis of the compliance of the estimated indicators with the specified criteria and monitoring of the results.

The conditions for conducting the assessment process are determined by various forms and methods of teaching.

However, when it comes to measuring achievement for comparison purposes, testing is not appropriate.

Another form is required here, such as, for example, authentic evaluation of learning outcomes.

Authentic assessment – is an assessment of the process of development and progress of the student, in his real achievements. It can in no way be subjective, it takes a fairly large amount of time to prepare, conduct and summarize, therefore it is carried out in small groups or individually.

A teacher who conducts authentic assessment should have a clear idea of ​​what will be assessed before the assessment process begins.

Authentic assessment has another feature, it is carried out immediately after the completion of the task, because here the process of execution is more important than its result.

Data obtained as a result of multiple observations, as well as all kinds of students’ work, are accumulated in the portfolio. The portfolio makes a significant contribution to assessment and is an authentic confirmation of the student’s progress, characterizing his strengths and weaknesses.

The ability to objectively evaluate one’s own activities and achievements for a modern person becomes the same necessary skill as the process of acquiring and using new knowledge. In addition to qualitative and quantitative (point) self-assessment of the work, it is important for the student to receive a qualitative and quantitative assessment of their own achievements.

It is a self-evaluation process specially organized by the teacher, when the student evaluates his own work, or a peer evaluation process, when students evaluate the work of other participants.

At each stage of teaching, the teacher organizes the process of discussing questions that he prepares in advance; analysis and commenting of practical tasks performed by students; an expert evaluation of the final results obtained by students is carried out.

The purpose of such an assessment is to obtain a comprehensive description of the student’s work, to give him the opportunity to look at his work from the outside and as a result – to understand, understand and master the topic being studied and to realize the level that he has reached in teaching.

With such an organization of the assessment process, we observe a significant decrease in its control functions and the subsequent punishment and a pronounced increase in motivation aimed at improving and increasing personal competence.

Case 1

In working with primary school students, we use the following types of assessments:

The purpose of informal evaluation is to notice even small progress and try to enhance it with praise and support.

This can be done in a number of ways:

• do not skimp on verbal praise for good results;
• give friendly written comments (in workbooks)
• draw or stamp funny or sad faces (Grade 1)
• create folders with individual work and control work of children.

Informal assessment is hidden and therefore does not scare children and helps to avoid the stress that is inevitable in the use of assessment.

Assessment for learning contributes to the all-round development of the student, without pushing him away from learning, replaces criticism with interested feedback.

Simultaneously with assessment, in the course of discussing the work and results of the student and the team, opinions, judgments, and comments are accumulated. This set of data creates a database – the In-depth Collective Knowledge Base (BKZ).

Use BUKZ, you will be to form new ZUN and learning competencies. Within the framework of the existing standard lesson model, assess, as required by the Federal State Educational Standards, UUD, initiative, creativity, interaction of students in teamwork, moral qualities, develop the ability to fairly objectively assess themselves – their capabilities, their achievements, their behavior, all this a teacher can really get using assessment for learning and evaluating results.

Having carried out self-assessment, mutual assessment, providing observation and feedback, the teacher gets the opportunity to determine an objective comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the quality of the student’s achievements.

Comprehensive final assessment, consists of an assessment of the student’s work process and an assessment of the results obtained by him. Moreover, the process is evaluated by the student himself, and the results of his work will be evaluated by the team members. Both self-assessment and assessment of colleagues require criteria and assessment tables.

In modern technologies, the forms and methods of working with students have undergone a significant change. The teacher, depending on the learning objectives, can also apply a class-lesson system with a frontal form of communication, organize individual work with the student, work in pairs or group work.

The variety of forms imposes its own characteristics on the organization of the evaluation of results. obtained by students in individual and group work. In our course, we will further consider in detail the technology of working in groups and the system for evaluating the individual achievements of a student in group work.

Case 2

2 . Self-Assessment – is self-assessment by the child to measure their own success.

This type of assessment is especially important for this age for the following reasons:

• it ensures children’s psychological safety and autonomy;
• is a necessary component of the concept, which involves lifelong learning, because. in the future, most of today’s students, working independently, will be forced to evaluate themselves and their competence correctly and fairly.

Self-assessment goals:

• provide children with a complete picture of their achievements;
• show whether the personal and teacher assessments match;
• to form the correct attitude towards evaluation.

The use of self-assessment scales can help teachers and younger students make the assessment process transparent, clear, objective and painless.

Teacher and student together have a chance to assess achievements, compare assessment, analyze it and understand their shortcomings.

By doing this type of assessment, students:

• Learn to interact while striving for the same goal;
• Learn to respect and accept another person’s opinion;
• Become partners, which minimizes the negative aspect of competition;
• Begin to trust each other;
• Feel more secure than when working alone.

http://files.school-collection.edu.ru/dlrstore/

Formal assessment is grading in the presence of certain criteria in conditions that ensure the assessment of communicative knowledge, skills in this area.

Case 3

Criteria-based assessment – helps to reduce the student’s anxiety, the formation of positive motivation. The fact that the grades received for intermediate work are not published in the journal makes this work a meaningful activity to increase one’s knowledge. The teacher transforms from a stern judge into an interested assistant and consultant. Between the teacher and the student, the law of conflict disappears, assessment turns into a joint work according to the criteria accepted by both parties. Openness. The transparency of the assessment process itself, the opportunity to express their point of view help the student to become a real subject of their learning.

We must not forget that children want to be appreciated, not punished. And if they still need to be criticized, then this should be done in a friendly, correct way, with the help of feedback:

• Individually with each child;
• With a group of children;
• In short written form;
• In a friendly conversation.

Feedback helps children to analyze their strengths and weaknesses painlessly for the child.

http://files.school-collection.edu.ru/dlrstore/

Case 4

Criteria-based self-assessment

Main point criteria-based self-assessment, like many other formative self-assessment techniques, consists in that in the process of students’ cognitive activity it allows to evaluate not only the result of this activity (which it, of course, also analyzes), but also the process of work leading to this result.

Students are initially aware of the criteria by which the work will be evaluated, they are an integral part of the assignment, are set out in writing and are available to everyone.

The basis for further successful and productive work on self-assessment is the first stage of the lesson, which introduces the assessment criteria. The most useful way to introduce these criteria is through a general discussion in which all students and the teacher come to a common understanding of what will be assessed and why.

After the criteria are defined, it is advisable to show with specific examples that the degree of achievement for each criterion can be different, and introduce indicators by which it will be determined.

The next step should be a detailed acquaintance of students with the point scale on which the assessment will be carried out.

It may be a good idea to conduct several trials of participatory assessment, where students practice the application of assessment criteria and metrics using the example of someone else’s work and make sure that they understand them in a similar way.

After the children have graded their work, it is useful to discuss the results of their evaluation and compare it with how the teacher evaluates the same work.

Properly prepared and regularly conducted criteria-based assessment and self-assessment:

• Give the teacher the opportunity to accurately assess not only the actual, but also the potential achievements of students, reflected in their desire to move forward;
• Form student self-organization, providing the student with the opportunity to build a plan for further actions for their own promotion;
• Provide teachers and students with clear, objective assessment criteria suitable for interpretation, analysis and direct use in interaction with students and parents;
• Provide continuity in the work of different subject teachers and create the basis for their collectively distributed work;
• Provide general grounds for assessing the achievements of students at different stages of the educational process in relation to different tasks and situations;
• Form and maintain the interest and level of competency-based participation of parents in the educational process;
• Criteria-based assessment is the basis of almost all assessment methods.

The simplest tool can be considered the familiar technique of color paths or traffic lights.

My experience with formative assessment

Color self-assessment allows the student, using colored pencils, to independently assess how much he understood the material, whether he can complete the task, whether he feels confident in answering the question.

Having chosen one of the three colors, students make notes in their notebooks next to the classwork.

• Red – is an alarm: I can’t do it, it’s hard for me;
• Yellow – uncertainties: I didn’t quite get it;
• Green – well-being: everything is clear to me, I can handle it.

The teacher, taking the notebooks of the students, sees which of them needs help and in what matter.

My proposal for assessment in elementary school.

Introduce a modular grading system. At the end of each semester, take tests in subjects in two ways:

1. Test.

2. Examination.

Carry out ongoing inspections.

Conclusion

By combining different types of assessment, each teacher is able to make this process the most effective, interesting for all participants in the educational process, painless and motivating for further successful learning.

Each child will be judged according to their merits and will leave the lesson satisfied and in a good mood, and at home they will look forward to the next lesson, where again their success will be appreciated and their efforts will be noted.

Experts: lack of grades in elementary grades makes it easier to adapt to school

August 31, 2018, 14:27 /TASS/. The lack of a grading system in the primary grades helps the child adapt to school life. This opinion was expressed by experts on Friday in a conversation with TASS.

Earlier, the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Olga Vasilyeva spoke out against the possible introduction of an evaluation system in the first grades. According to the minister, first-graders should have a different motivation for learning, adding that the introduction of an evaluation system in the first grade will not lead to anything good.

Lyudmila Dudova, representative of the Association of Teachers of Literature and the Russian Language, believes that in the absence of grades, children endure the period of adaptation to school more easily.

“We already have a practice of non-assessment technologies in elementary school. It showed that the process of adaptation of children, especially in the first grade, is very successful. It cannot be said that there are no assessments at all, they are just in a different form. Children psychologically endure this calmer,” she said, adding that such a decision is quite balanced.

Children don’t need grades

Teacher, psychologist, founder of the Institute of Non-Formal Education and the “Orange” school Dmitry Zitser draws attention to the fact that many European schools have long abandoned grades. “In the UK, the first six years of assessment are not given. Private schools have moved away from this, from an educational point of view, curiosity should be the motivation for learning. place,” he said, adding that in this case, “the children run to school.”

Zitser noted that the five-point grading system in schools is not always objective. “Suppose a person makes 20 mistakes in a dictation, naturally gets a “deuce”. After that, he works for a long, long time and makes 15 mistakes, getting another deuce. <…> Even when he makes five mistakes, he still gets a “deuce “, – said the expert.

Development Director of the National Parent Association Marianna Shevchenko also supported non-judgmental education in primary school. “The task, especially in primary school, is to form a child’s interest in learning new things. If he is just starting in kindergarten, and the task of preschool education is to lay the foundations, to prepare the child, <...> then here he begins to take his first steps. And on how supportive the atmosphere will be, the more harmonious and comfortable, the less traumatic he enters into it, the better, grades always, whatever they are, injure the psyche, especially if they are bad, discourage all interest in learning, “- said the expert

Vsevolod Lukhovitsky, a teacher of the Russian language and literature, a member of the board of the Interregional Trade Union “Teacher”, noted that he uses internal ratings in his school, and not “formal” grades. “Moreover, now, in general, children don’t need school grades at all. Children go to colleges according to the OGE, to universities – according to Olympiads and the Unified State Examination,” he said.

The expert also noted that grades are not particularly important when entering a university. “Strictly speaking, a school graduate needs a certificate only to please his parents, or to enter foreign universities where a certificate is required. But for Russian universities, it means little. Therefore, in general, for grades, especially in high school, children do not pay no attention,” he added.

Unsupervised learning

However, according to Alexander Shevkin, teacher of mathematics at Moscow School No. 2007, Honored Teacher of the Russian Federation, co-author of seven mathematics textbooks, the abolition of school grades will leave the educational process uncontrolled.

“The teacher turns into a consultant and assistant for children in their communication with the “electronic teacher”, who will set their own scores. At the same time, personal communication between the teacher and the student, the ability to take into account individual characteristics.

Strategies for Teaching Vocabulary

Building a cross-curricular vocabulary is important for any age. If you’d like more tips on how to teach new words to an elementary class, check out a helpful education article. You can also vary your assessment style with these strategies on how to assess vocabulary.

Vocabulary for 4th & 5th Grades

What is Vocabulary?

Vocabulary refers to knowledge of the meanings of individual words being read. Vocabulary knowledge is important to a student’s ability to read and comprehend what is read. (Definition from University of Oregon)

In 4th and 5th grade, readers determine the meaning of unknown and multiple- meaning words/phrases, recognize and interpret figurative language, and expand their vocabulary to include words that signal precise actions, emotions, states of being, contrast, and other relationships. Learn about figurative language here.

What Does it Look Like?

Can your fourth grader figure out the meaning of new words?

Is your 5th grader building vocabulary from reading?

Practice Activities

My Dictionary: Help the child keep track of new/unfamiliar words and their meanings by helping the child create their own dictionary or word catcher.  The child can write the words, draw pictures to illustrate the word or definition, and write sentences using the words.

Family Vocabulary Project: Create a decorative jar or container to initiate a vocabulary building family project.  Family members can write down new vocabulary words they read or hear and include the definition on the back.  The vocabulary words are shared, discussed, and added to the jar.  Family members can include the new words in their everyday writing and speaking.  You may even choose to make a “word of the day” or “word of the week” to help focus the family on using one or two of the newly learned words.

Synonym/Antonym Brainstorm: Name a word. Take turns brainstorming words that mean the same thing as the word that was named.   Alternate antonym version:  Play the game brainstorming words that mean the opposite of the word that was named.

Affix Activity: Using newspapers, magazines, cookbooks, or storybooks, have the child search for words with a targeted prefix or suffix, writing the words found on a piece of paper.  Once several words have been found, work together to break the words into the affix (prefix or suffix) and root word and explain what the word means (e.g., “I found the word unthinkable! If I break it into the root and affixes, it is un-think- able.  That means that if something is unthinkable, you are not able to think of it.”).

Word Categories: Play a word association game with your child.  Call out a category name, and take turns brainstorming other words that make you think of the category word (e.g., “The category is weather.” “Thunderstorm!” “Snow!” “Cumulus Clouds!” “Typhoon!).  Afterward, have the child sort the words into other categories, based on their similarities.   Have the child explain what is similar about all of the words in their new categories (e.g., “I put train, monorail, boats, and strollers in the same category because they are all types of transportation people use at theme parks.”).

Sharing Our Writing: Consider connecting your child with a relative or pen-pal as a meaningful opportunity for your child to practice their writing skills.  This could be through email or hand-written letters.  Encourage your child to add descriptive words throughout and to incorporate new vocabulary they have been learning.

H, H, & H: Take notice of the three unique word types listed below while the child is reading or while you read to them.  Isolate the word and discuss how variations can differ in spelling, pronunciation, and meaning.

Practice Activities (with Printables)

If you don’t have a printer, your child’s school will print these for you.

Homograph Hook: Match words that sound the same but have different meanings with the cards provided.   Homograph Hook

Homophone Go-Fish: Match homophones with their meanings by playing a card game.  Homophone Go-Fish

Opposite Meanings: Match words with opposite meanings while playing with the domino-like cards provided.  Opposite Meanings

“I did not take other people’s places in the Russian national team”

Cross-country skiing

• Andrey Shitikhin

  Championship

Skier Anna Bolshunova was hated by many, even when she was Zherebyateva and was not married to Alexander Bolshunov. In an exclusive interview with “Championship”, Anna told how she learned to cope with such pressure, how it affected Alexander, how often she and her husband throw out emotions at each other, and how their daughter Eva changed their lives.

It turned out to be a good family interview. Sometimes Alexander Bolshunov himself would cut into the conversation with jokes.

“Everyone has haters, you can’t get away from them”

– Anya, when you yourself ran and were in the national team, just waves of hate were sent to your address: “Ah, Zherebyatyeva was again included in the national team, this is all because of Bolshunov only.” Was it embarrassing?
– I did not take other people’s places and was in the national team exactly as long as I got there according to the results. The 2020/2021 season, which became my last, I ran to the Tour de Ski. I ran the sprint qualification in Switzerland and realized that I simply couldn’t run any further. And that is all. I tried to ignore the hate.

– Did it hurt you? Now, after all, when you first became an analyst at the CSP, and now a team specialist, the same thing is happening.
— I have learned not to notice such things. The support of family and loved ones helped a lot at the time. Everyone has haters, you can’t get away from them. What’s the point in paying attention to them?

– Didn’t want to cry from such pressure? “Why me again?”
— To be honest, I kept all my emotions inside, never showed out what was going on in me.

– It’s much more difficult than just yelling at someone and throwing everything out.
– She’s coming off on me. Don’t believe when she says she keeps everything inside. We stand at attention at attention every day ( Alexander Bolshunov intervened in the conversation with a laugh).
– Yes, it’s rare, damn it. It doesn’t exist anymore, of course. It used to break sometimes, but that was a long time ago.

— And it went from you to Sasha, right? How did he react? Raging?

– Of course not. He just said that I should generally skip such things and say, like him – goodbye. Over the years, you get used to this and it becomes easier to deal with it.
– Yes, I told her that there are many fools, and she is alone (Bolshunov again burst into the conversation with a laugh).

– Anya, did you feel the attention of journalists, bloggers, or was all attention focused on Sasha?
— Yes, he is always the center of attraction. I don’t even remember that journalists were interested in making material with me, to learn something from me, and not from rumors. Many times I saw some materials based on gossip and speculation. Guys, why didn’t you ask me? I would explain any situation. Did someone write about why I actually graduated? Again they came up with that only in order to do nothing and be next to Sasha.

“I thought, why am I suffering so much?”

– Well, I know that the reason is the injury. Are you ready to share the details?
— Indeed, the injury was the cause. And she got out quite sharply. We couldn’t understand what was happening. I no longer feel the body the way I used to. My tech is broken. And one fine spring evening, my neck hurt so badly that I could no longer endure it. She asked Sasha to anoint my neck with an anesthetic ointment. He began to smear and was horrified: “Anya, you have scoliosis there.” After all, many of the doctors worked with me, but it did not get better. And this reason was not seen. It also turned out that my right leg was one and a half centimeters shorter than the other.

— So, you discovered this problem and continued to train?
— Yes, I have been running for more than a year and a half, training through pain. When I came to the doctors with a specific problem, they said that the pain would remain, since the process was irreversible. I tried to work in the summer with the hope that it would get better in the winter, but it did not get better. I was so tired of fighting … After all, you know what loads Yury Viktorovich Borodavko had, I did them, but there was no result. She fought, fought, but in the protocols she was further and further away. In the end, I thought – why am I experiencing such torment? Then I decided to finish.

– It is clear that she said this to Sasha. Was he happy?
– Not really.

– What, didn’t you jump up to the ceiling that the woman you love would no longer endure such pain?
— ( Laughs. ) Yes, even now he would not mind if I still ran.
“Where are you going to run now, huh?” In half a year you can, yes (Bolshunov laughs).
– No no no. I do not want any more.

– But he was really not happy that you ended your career, or is this your joke again?

In any case, he didn’t say any words of encouragement.
“Well, you still need to understand. When you are in sports, and then abruptly quit . .. (T ut Bolshunov was already talking seriously. )
“It wasn’t drastic for me. I went to this, it turns out, for about two years and calmly accepted that I would not run anymore. I ran that same sprint on the Tour de Ski – that’s all. I told this to Yuri Viktorovich, Elena Valeryevna. Well, I felt some relief from the fact that everything was over, that there would be no more of these torments, from which you get wildly tired. I didn’t even think about what would happen next.

– Until the moment when the problem was discovered that did not allow you to grow as a skier, did you have sports goals? After all, you performed successfully at the junior and youth levels. It just turns out that you stopped growing, and your future husband became the best skier in the world.
— Of course, they were, like all athletes, probably. I wanted to compete in the Olympics. But in 2018, I was still small, and then an injury was discovered that simply cannot be run with. I regret the way my career turned out. I think if my problem had been discovered earlier, when it was possible to fix everything, I could still perform at a high level.

– No desire to return?
— If everything was in order with the body, I would probably consider this possibility. But when you know that you will step on the same rake – why? There is no point in this, and it doesn’t pull me to the ski track anymore.

“It was especially hard because of lack of sleep”

– When a child is born, a woman experiences serious stress – the child is in her arms for a significant part of the time, the regime changes. Is it comparable to what happened in sports?
– Well, there are other loads, but after the birth of Eve it was really hard. Especially due to lack of sleep, as she slept little. When you are an active athlete, then at least you can sleep – both at night and in the afternoon. And after the birth of Eva, it was very difficult to walk like a zombie. Mom came to help, sent me to bed, but I could not sleep.

– There were some fears before the birth, fears – but how, but will everything be fine, but does it hurt?
— When you are looking forward to it, there are no fears. Yes, and I wanted to have her birth as soon as possible, because Eva was big, large, it was just hard for me to walk with such a belly. Then I got a lot. Sasha stayed with me before the birth, he didn’t go to the training camp and every day he asked: “Well, when already, well, when.” Still, of course, it was exciting.

– When did you take her in your arms?
– Yes, they put it next to me right away. Such feelings cannot be described. You look at the ultrasound – there are just contours, nothing is clear. And here – a flattened edematous face ( laughs ) with a smart look. But she changed every day, she began to smile early.

– Did the birth of Eva divide your life with Sasha into before and after?
Yes. Everything else seemed so unimportant and so long ago! Was I a skier? Probably in a past life. Now she is constantly with Eve and almost always alone, only Sasha helps. But we ourselves chose this life. We see everything new that she learns: the first smile, the first tooth, the first step. Sometimes it can change overnight. Sasha did not believe at first, and then he himself drew attention to this. The birth of a daughter softened him greatly.

“Sasha loves borsch very much”

– Did you become seriously involved in nutrition after the end of your career?
Yes. But I carefully monitored my diet even when I was running. And then I began to study in detail, I studied it specially, I got a good base, but there is no time to complete my studies and receive the appropriate certificate. Now I watch Sasha’s nutrition. At home, sometimes I even pamper him with cakes, although this is generally far from proper nutrition, and at training camps and competitions I cook ordinary food. In the evening before the race – one meal, if there is no race – another.
– Yeah, the usual. Restaurants are resting. And don’t laugh, I’m serious ( turns on Alexander again).

– Last season, Alexander opened from a new side – as a cook. Did you teach him?
– Not much. Burgers – the right burgers – he makes at home, he can cook porridge for himself. Sometimes you can also indulge in some junk food, nothing will happen from one wrong burger.

– His culinary skills appeared only after the birth of his daughter?
— No, he used to cook before. Last season, it just so happened that he decided to talk about it.

— What does he most often ask to cook?
— Yes, I cook a lot of things, he generally eats everything. I hope he does it not because he has nowhere to go, but because it is really tasty ( laughs ). He loves borscht very much.

Are you proud that your husband is the best skier in the world?
— Don’t answer him about the best skier, it’s not true ( laughs Bolshunov )!
Yes, I am proud of my husband. But we are much more relaxed about his successes than many people think.

– How do you perceive his defeats? Does he take his frustrations out at home?
– It used to be like that, but now it is much calmer about everything. All thanks to my daughter. I try to calm him down, together with him I look for the reason why the race went like that, which led to such a result. But he really rarely splashes out emotions, this was most clearly manifested in Oberstdorf after fifty dollars at the 2021 World Championships. Then I was there and gave him all my attention. It seems to me that if I had not been there then, it would have been more difficult for him to endure and accept everything that happened.

“It is important for us that Eva has a full-fledged family”

– When you ran yourself, Russian athletes performed without restrictions. Now our skiers do not have the opportunity to compete at international competitions. Sasha was very worried about this?
— To be honest, when the Russian team was sent away from the World Cup, and Sasha called and said that the team was returning home, I was even glad. I was pregnant, hadn’t seen him since December and missed him a lot. And then we had Eva, and all other problems faded into the background. Her birth overshadowed everything.

– Is Sasha a good dad?
– Very good. He does everything, he helps me in everything.

– How much do you care about your husband’s results now?
– Always excited. We are always with him so that he is calm. It’s hard for him without us. We go to great lengths to always be together.

– When you and Eva are around, does he run better?
– Yes, he always runs well ( laughs ). But psychologically, he is much calmer when we are around.

— What is the most unusual gift he gave you?
– It’s hard for me to say. Sasha constantly gives something, he is a very attentive husband. So I’m not even surprised.

– And he talked about your unusual gift – an electric scooter.
— Oh, yes! Then the only time was when he arranged a quest for him to find a gift. But I also tried ( laughs ). Yana Kirpichenko and I dragged this box from the store with the last of our strength. I even have a video where we, two girls of heroic build, are dragging this huge box. As a result, we could not stand it, we called our servicers to help us. The guys drove up in a car, brought us to the hotel, and hid the gift in a truck. I packed this scooter secretly from Sasha. On the morning of his birthday, he began to guess riddles in order to find a gift, and Artyom Zhmurko just went for a scooter in a truck, which was 10 minutes away from us. Sasha coped with the tasks so quickly that I started to panic – we wouldn’t have time to bring it! The riddles had letters and numbers that had to be added together to get the number of the car in which the scooter was supposed to be. Artyom barely had time to bring!

– Are you a happy person?
— Yes! We are all together, and nothing could be better than this. I have a beloved husband, a beloved daughter, and everything else seems so small. It is very important for us that Eva has a full-fledged family, and not that dad will come, wave his hand and leave again. It’s a little hard to always be alone with her, but it’s our choice and we don’t regret anything.

3/53 Paternity test | Ridley

Chapter 3 – How stupid… (Julia)

Chapter 3 – How stupid… (Julia)

Clutching my bag, I am sitting at a child psychologist’s appointment with my husband. We were urgently called.

And I can hardly hear what it is about. Because the bag seems hot to me like Chadov’s hands. And I’ve been having a hard time letting her out of my hands for days now.

I stayed there, in that moment…

Why is he doing this to me?

Do I regret my choice? How can you regret what was not.

Yes. “All limitations are only in our head.” It’s easy to talk about it to other people until you get stuck in real circumstances so that you don’t move! Like quicksand. And he – so strong and decisive – is not around when he is so needed. Then you are ready to lend a hand to anyone, just so as not to drown in this viscous terrifying abyss.

And Rob was there…

And after he supported me and pulled me out again – it’s just black ingratitude to look in Chadov’s direction again.

It is probably impossible to get everything at once. I got a son. And very happy.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t get hurt.

– Our kindergarten cannot take on such responsibility. We are very sorry. But the child needs serious help from specialists.

“And we’re sorry,” Robert rises. – Sorry about the situation.

Styopa is a runner. Of those children who experience a pathological craving for running away – from home, garden, just from an adult.

The only treatment I was offered was psychotropics.

Psychotropics for a six-year-old!

I can only weep at such a suggestion.

Robert, alas, does not see anything critical in this treatment.

Sometimes it seems to me that my son subconsciously fulfills my dream all the time – to escape!

I pick up Styopa in the next room.

I sit down in front of him and help him get dressed.

– Step… Well, why did you run away, huh? I begged you not to do that.

– It’s unknown… – he spreads his hands.

I took a word from somewhere. I think he even talks like his real father. And they don’t even know each other.

– Tell me, don’t you like this garden?

He goes to a private, very nice kindergarten. This is not our first or second kindergarten…

– Normal…

– Why then?

– Take a walk.

– Children are not allowed to walk alone. Is it dangerous!

– Why?..

We had this conversation many times.

– Someone can steal and offend you! I told you.

– I’ll give it to him! I have here … – pulls out a huge bent and rusty nail from his pocket.

Sharp!!

– God!

Grabbing his wrist, I take the nail.

– You didn’t get scratched by it? I look at my hand.

Maybe I’m too picky and paranoid mom. But I have only one child, and that is due to a miracle. There will be no others. And we have ordered a preventive vaccination against tetanus. Styopa is allergic to vaccine preservatives.

I throw out the damn nail, I wipe his hands with an antiseptic wipe.

Holding his hand, I lead him to our car.

Robert comes out to open the door for us. I sit with the child in the back seat.

– Mom… – he presses close to me from the ringing silence in the cabin.

Robert scolds me for constantly trying to soften any punishment for Styopa. But I can’t… And sighing, I look down. I hug my son.

– He won’t be like that again, right, Styop?

– We both know what will happen. I have a solution. Here…

He hands me a booklet: “Chipping dogs”.

– Anesthetize and implant a chip under the skin with a gun.

– I don’t want a gun… – Styopa whispers frightened.

– That’s for dogs, Rob.

– Are they shooting at dogs?! Styopa looks at the booklet that has fallen out of my hand.

– No, no, no! – I select.

– You’re lying! Styopa gets angry.

– It’s better to go through the procedure for dogs than to be caught next time in the river, – Robert presses me on the patient. – And how long have we been looking for him in the winter? What if he had frostbite on his hands and feet? Stepan, can you hear me? I told you that…

– Enough! We will not chip it. We’ll buy him a pendant with a chip. And hang next to the cross.

– Good… Robert sighs. – Now what are we going to do? I have an important meeting.

– I’ll take it with me.

– And tomorrow?

– And I’ll take it tomorrow, – I press Styopa harder.

– Will you take it the day after tomorrow? Yulenka … – patiently. – I suggest you go on leave without pay.

– No! I blurt out.

Work is at least an illusion of independence. If I ever run away… I should have a job! And what kind of doctor am I without practice? And so five years on maternity leave!

– For the sake of my son.

– No… I’ll find a way to match.

– Is work more important than Stepan? I support you completely.

– I told you I’ll find a way! – I snap nervously and harried.

We don’t use that tone in our family.

And Robert, glancing at me through the rearview mirror, twitches his eyebrow questioningly, with an accent.

– What example are you setting for your son?

It’s because of Chadov, I’m sure. Because of my handbag. I didn’t say a word about what happened in the elevator.

– I’m sorry… I’m just upset.

Then we drive in silence all the way to the hospital.

We brake in the parking lot.

– Hmm… Khasanov changed his car again, – Robert comments with displeasure. – Neurosurgeons earn good money here.

– The girls say that the patient gave him this car.

– Or – he asked her for help.

– No, it doesn’t look like Ruslan. If someone “asks”, then the whole hospital knows about it … – I bite my tongue.

Heard some unflattering gossip about Robert. But I don’t get into it. We do not discuss his income and money.

I look at this car without blinking. Khasanov is a friend of Chadov… And the threads in my soul stretch, finding the way to where it aspires.

Lord, I am an adult self-sufficient woman, why am I again trembling and sick like a young fool from his kiss?! Well, for what? … I almost learned to live the way I live. And I almost accepted it.

– Did you like the car? – with cool curiosity. – We’ll buy better.

I wave away my gaze.

– It’s just a car. We have a good car.

– And it will be the best.

Robert is a little off on prestige.

I open the door.

– Have you forgotten anything?.. – softly.

No, I didn’t forget! I just do not want!

I am very grateful to Rob for his attitude towards me and Styopa. But in physics and chemistry, I always had a C grade with him. And after Chadov it is generally unsatisfactory.

Our Approach | Hazelwood Preschool

Our Approach

Every week, we will center group discussions and activities around various topics that inspire awareness of ourselves, others, and the world around us. These concepts can be explored through art, mindfulness, group discussions, experiments, reading, hands on learning, investigation, and so much more!

EXPLORATION OF OURSELVES

• Discovery and understanding of our bodies, interest, moods, and feelings.

​​

• Embracing responsibility and safety.

​​

• Identifying growth, abilities/talents, changes, and challenges.

​​

• Developing self-concept, self-confidence, self-compassion, and self-awareness.

EXPLORATION OF OTHERS

• Discovery and understanding of family units, friends, classmates, neighbors, friendships/relationships, diversity, abilities, cultures, traditions/holidays, and animals.

​

• Embracing and valuing diversity in all forms.

EXPLORATION OF ENVIRONMENT

• Discovery and understanding of community (classroom, neighborhood, country, world).

​

• Relationships and our connections to each other.

​

• Exploring of our connection to nature and all that surrounds us.

​

• Impermanence and changes in seasons, life cycles, weather, etc.

​

• Awareness of the space we occupy.

When we say “Mindfulness” we are really saying “creating awareness”. More specifically, the awareness of what is happening inside and outside our bodies and accepting it as it is. When we implement this practice in a child’s day to day, we are giving them the tools for self-expression, self-help, confidence, and communication. 

​

 

Some ways we practice Mindfulness in class:
 

• Daily check-ins to access our current feelings.

• Exploring ourselves, others, and the world around us through hands-on observation, group discussions, art, and creative play.

• Observing the natural changes that occur around us. 

​​

Reconnection ● Observation ● Openness ● Thankfulness ● Stewardship

We are so lucky to have Fauntleroy Park in our backyard and the beaches of Lincoln Park just minutes away!

Although we get to be outside daily, for once a week our students will spend their whole morning out of the classroom and in nature! We will have nature based lessons and activities, mindfulness practices, games, and so much exploring!

 

The program aims to promote a connection to the natural world, a love and appreciation for our parks and beaches, and inspire a sense of stewardship and responsibility for our environment.

 

*Our younger classes participate as well, but at shorter times due to age and toileting needs.

Hazelwood Roy

Hazelwood Roy
(Robert Roy Hazelwood) (born 1938) –
famous American specialist in
field of criminal psychology.
Vice President of the Academic Group,
Uniting Veterans Division
FBI Behavioral Sciences.

He is considered the best specialist in
areas of investigation into abductions and
sexual crimes.
For thirty years of work in the police
authorities and the FBI, he revealed more
two hundred complicated cases related to
pedophilia and kidnapping.

R. Hazelwood is one of the “pioneers”
criminal profiling. My
activities in this direction
started in the 70s when the FBI was
established the Department of Behavioral Sciences.

In 1980 Hazelwood developed
typology of serial killers. This
the concept is widely used
law enforcement agencies for
search and arrest of criminals.
She classifies serial killers into
two categories: organized
non-social criminal and
disorganized antisocial
criminal.

At
recognition of typological
accessories of the installed
serial killer is important to consider
that the behavior of organized
criminals compared to
disorganized in place
incidents has significant
differences. Organized (by style)
life) a person, organized and
crime style. And vice versa,
disorganization in life
manifests itself in disorganization
crimes.

Organized non-social
the offender carefully prepares his
crime, he attaches great
the importance of erasing traces
crimes. For these purposes,
for example, committing a murder in one
place, he can move the corpse to
another place. Unlike him
disorganized criminal
attacks the victim suddenly, not
planning ahead or very poorly
planning a crime. Spontaneity
and the suddenness of the attack leads to
that at the crime scene
many traces remain.

Hazelwood designed and
appropriate interrogation tactics
criminals depending on their
typologies.

Large
attention in his works Hazelwood
focused on prevention and
disclosure of sexual crimes.
They were offered psychological
classification of types of rapists,
studied psychological characteristics
and behavioral styles of serial
rapists.

Im also
symptoms have been described
autoerotic fatalities,
that can help the investigator
recognize and describe such cases
even when someone tries
“disguise” circumstances
of death.

First
half of the 80s, Hazelwood became
the first FBI officer who openly
called pedophiles criminals, not
sick people. “Today this
hard to believe, but another 20 years
back thousands of american
human rights defenders sought the right to
treatment for men accused of
rape of young children
remembers Hazelwood. – I was not afraid
openly say that pedophiles
should be sentenced to death
execution, for which I repeatedly
called an executioner and even a fascist.”

Exactly to Hazelwood
belongs to the catchphrase,
transformed over time into
popular aphorism: “In our
society has no cure
pedophiles and sex maniacs.
Even if you find it, it
will be called either gas
camera or electric chair.

After leaving in 1993 for
resignation, R. Hazelwood continued
deal with the problems of
sexual crimes, closely
cooperating with the FBI and others
law enforcement
various countries of the world, advising
cases to investigate such
crimes.

At the end
90s he leads
capture task force
serial killer Dennis Rader
nickname BTK (from the words bind, torture
and kill, that is, “tie, torture,
kill”). This maniac and a half
decades terrified the inhabitants
Kansas town of Wichita. He was catching
attractive girls chained
them to the bed, after which he poked
victims’ eyes, pulled out nails,
raped and killed. one of his
Raider victims tortured throughout
two long months.

“That was the most
complex investigation in my
career,” Hazelwood recalls. –
Many of my colleagues could not stand
that psychological stress
which was required to calculate
maniac. In total we
arrested several hundred
suspects, but subsequently
each of them was recognized
innocent. At times I wanted
cordon off the whole city and check
every adult male
lie detector.

According to the official
version, Dennis Rader killed ten
women, but the investigation believes
that the total number of victims of a maniac –
at least thirty. And the first
the offender committed the murder
way back in 1974.

Hazelwood could not
catch the Raider yourself,
however, it was he who prepared the mass
documents and collected evidence that
helped in 2005 to disarm
maniac. “After retirement
I began to suffer terrible headaches
pain and insomnia,” Roy admits.
– I felt guilty about
that he didn’t catch the serial killer.
Every day I waited for a message from
colleagues that the number of victims
increased in Wichita. I am so
closed in on himself that he began to see
maniac in every person who
met me on the street.

The raider was detained in February 2005
years, and Roy Hazelwood found out about it
one of the first. He personally called
FBI Director Robert Mueller. “It was
the happiest day of my life,
Roy admits. – When I heard
that VTK was arrested, he closed his eyes and
I thought that now I can
die with a clear conscience…

His research papers in psychology
sadists and pedophiles are in demand and
used to train young
FBI agents

Australia: CFMEU secures fair transition for workers at Hazelwood power plant

In November 2016, multinational energy company Engie announced that the coal-fired power plant and adjacent mine will be closed on 31 March 2017 and hundreds of jobs will be made redundant . The CFMEU entered into discussions with the Latrobe Valley power plant management and the Victorian government, which resulted in a partnership-based transfer scheme for Latrobe Valley workers.

The agreement contains commitments to minimize job losses and retrain workers, as well as a provision for an early retirement system that will free up jobs for those who want to continue working in the industry.

Older workers who work at the Loi Yang power plant and mine located in the same area will be asked to retire early. This will create jobs for young workers at the Hazelwood power plant. ” This will keep families, jobs and, by extension, money in Latrobe Valley. Employment support will be provided to at least 150 Hazelwood workers.

CFMEU National President and IndustriALL Global Union Executive Committee member Tony Maher called the scheme, which includes commitment from Latrobe Valley power management, unions and the Victorian government, a “breakthrough in best practice”.

“This partnership provides support to workers, their families and the wider Latrobe Valley community as the Hazelwood power plant closes,” he said.

“It guarantees a fair transition for workers, their families and local residents. Tonight, hundreds of workers who will be directly affected by the power plant closure will breathe a sigh of relief at the commitment made to the future of their families.”

The Hazelwood power plant and mine are located in Latrobe Valley, Victoria, 150 km east of Melbourne. The property is jointly owned by Engie (72%) and Mitsui (28%). The French company Engie, formerly known as GDF Suez, entered into a global framework agreement in 2012 with IndustriALL and the international federations PSI and BWI.

KinderCare’s Current Commitment

Leaving your child in someone else’s care is never an easy decision to make. Parents look long and hard to find just the right environment, where they’re sure their kids will be not only safe, but as healthy as possible. According to a survey developed by PHA, 91 percent of parents choose a childcare center based on its commitment to providing a healthy environment.

KinderCare has pledged to double the servings of vegetables to over 40,000 school-aged children through 800 before- and after-school programs hosted by the company’s Champions sites in 300 cities nationwide by 2025.

Additionally, KinderCare will leverage its purchasing power and food delivery model to improve the affordability of fruits and vegetables for other early childhood education providers, pilot an innovative food insecurity screening program for KinderCare families and give employees the tools they need to help families have increased access to nutritious foods in their communities, and increase nutrition education provided to families with the goal of reaching more than 100,000 children a minimum of 3 times per year.

KinderCare’s commitment will support PHA’s goal of adding 100 million additional servings of vegetables, fruits, and beans to the marketplace by 2025, which was announced alongside the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health on September 28, 2022.

KinderCare’s Completed Commitments

KinderCare was one of five PHA childcare partners that committed to providing a healthier environment for the children under its care, based on the Yale Wellness Child Care Assessment Tool (WellCCAT).

KinderCare’s commitment reflected WellCCAT best practices such as limiting screen time, increasing opportunities for physical activity, providing healthy food and beverage choices, making it easier for moms to breastfeed if they wished and offering nutrition education for parents.

KinderCare implemented these practices at 95 percent of its facilities, where kids find fruits and vegetables with every meal, family-style eating, and healthier beverage choices such as water and low-fat milk. They get at least an hour of physical activity each day and as much time outside as the weather allows.

In 2018, KinderCare signed on for a second commitment with PHA. This time, KinderCare committed to a number of changes involving center menus and nutrition programs, including removing all grain-based desserts from 100 percent of their centers, incorporating at least one culturally diverse dish each week, a vegetarian entrée twice per week on their standard menu, ensuring healthy options are offered during all holiday events and celebrations, integrating parent education into the KinderCare Cooking Academy and developing a nutrition training curriculum for Center Directors and Cooks.

Additionally, KinderCare assessed current garden offerings at centers, developed a package of new scalable indoor and outdoor gardening options, and shared best practices for gardening initiatives in early childhood education.

To Apply for a Criminal Background Check

Effective April 15, 2012, the FBI moved to an all-electronic criminal background check (CBC) application process and is no longer accepting hard-copy fingerprint cards.  Because the Maryland Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) follows FBI guidelines, the use of hard-copy CBC applications at the State level are also being phased out as of that date. Instead, all CBC applicants are being encouraged to submit their applications electronically. However, hard-copy applications are still being accepted by CJIS if electronic submission is not possible. Click here for a list of State-approved private electronic fingerprinting services and State-operated electronic fingerprinting locations. Electronic applications may also be submitted through many State and local police agencies. Child care programs that have their own State-certified electronic fingerprinting equipment and operators may continue to submit CBC applications.  When submitting your CBC request, you must include the appropriate OCC Regional Office authorization number. 

Online Licensing Inspection Results

Visit the Office of Child Care’s online child care licensing inspection results site – www.CheckCCMD.org! The site offers detailed compliance findings from child care licensing inspections conducted since January 2011. The site may also be used to find licensed child care programs and providers, and to link to a wide variety of information about early care and education in Maryland.

To File a Complaint

If you believe a particular child care program is in violation of State child care licensing laws or regulations, you may file an official complaint against that program.  To file a complaint, contact the Regional Licensing Office covering the county where the program is located. Complaints may be filed in person, or by telephone, or in writing by e-mail, fax, or letter.  Anonymous complaints are accepted, so complainants do not need to identify themselves. Each complaint is investigated by the Regional Licensing Office.  Upon completion of the investigation, a report of findings is created. This report is available upon request if the investigation confirms that the violation occurred, or if it cannot be determined whether or not the violation occurred.
