Toys for Tots #giving

At the completion of our babysitting jigsaw, you should have a better understanding of:

• why small children act the way they do 
• what you can do as a caregiver to help them reach milestones, have fun, and stay safe
• what are age-appropriate activities and toys for each stage of development

This next task is a practice run for the holiday drive. 

1) With a partner, find the following children on the ND website (Beijing, South, and North)

2) Read their bios

3) Open up a Google Drive document, and paste information on a toy/activity that is suitable for their age and special need

Celebrities Go Green

In Health lately, we have investigated how celebrities (in this case, musicians), can be poor role models when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. In honour of Earth Day this week, we are going to look at the flip side. Your task is to find and compile a list of “green” celebrities. Aim to find individuals who raise awareness for environmental causes or have even started their own related charities. In class, I'll provide you with the example of a Canadian-born star of ABC's Castle. Here are a few links to get you started.

Songs for Change

 

Behind all music lays a message or meaning that artists want to deliver to listeners. There is almost always a reason why some artists write songs about certain life events, such as friendship, poverty, hunger, love, making a difference in the world, etc. As listeners, we then infer the meaning of lyrics that help us understand what the issue is really about. A charity record (also known as a charity single) is a release of a song to raise money for a specific cause, like famine or after a natural disaster. 

1) Spend your tech time today compiling a list of songs about world issues (some websites to get you started are below).
