By: Beth Butler | - No child, not yours, not mine, nor the child of someone we do not even know, should ever have to go off to school feeling anxious. Yet as adults we realize it happens.

In other countries it seems the norm to introduce more than one language to children before th ...

By: Elizabeth GoughMoody | - Well are you? Do you know what the word 'etiquette' refers to? Do you think we are talking about table manners? Well table manners are a part of etiquette but only a small part. Etiquette applies to all things in life. It is a system of behaviors that are genteel and kind.
I have some thoughts on the condition of the world today, as I'm sure many of us do. Yes it's fast, competitive, loud, somewhat unethical and definitely rude. We can't do much about the first three, and each o ...

By: Beth Butler | - I remember the listening center I set up in my elementary school classroom as if it was yesterday. It was my first year of teaching, and I was so proud of that blue denim beanbag chair and cassette tape listening station that I had put together to introduce Spanish to my second graders. I had decided not to subject the little seven year olds to me singing acappella on the tapes I made at home, but I did incorporate some rhythmic beat to make the learning easier. I chanted the vocabulary word i ...

- Teaching Children To Speak Spanish Is Becoming A Necessity
By: Martha Satten | - For some reason, there are many parents that are quite skeptical of teaching their children Spanish as a second language, particularly while they are still young.

As a result, they are weighing more and more and child obesity is now actually something to be concerned about.
