 PARENT LETTER REQUIREMENTS:

This letter should address the following:

 PARENT LETTER REQUIREMENTS:

This letter should address the following:

1) what a learning center is (Physically…what can it look like?  What is in it?)

2) the kinds of learning centers that can be in the classroom (you can target a specific grade level if you want)

3) how various subjects are integrated in relevant, meaningful ways (what are they?)

4) how this learning transfers into real life situations

5) how autonomy, openness, problem-solving, and integrity play a part of LCA’s

6) what role the teacher plays in LCA’s

7) what research has influenced your decisions to have learning centers as a part of your day (at least 2-3 theorists should support your thoughts)

8) how LCA’s, if planned correctly, encourage thinking on all levels (Blooms) [careful not to give too much information here]

9) the importance of movement for young children

10) how you plan using PreK Guidelines, TEKS, DAP

11) how you use the assessed needs to help plan for centers that will provide optimal learning on all levels, thus creating successes for every student, challenging all, and incorporating all learning styles

12) how you will encourage parents to come to your room and experience the joy of learning in a risk free environment that allows children to be children and learn cooperatively while interacting with all their senses

13) possibly a list of items you know you will need to use in learning centers that parents may begin sending to school (eg. scarves, old keys, beanbags, chairs, ties, dress-up clothes)

*Remember, parents are the best place to get ‘stuff’ for your room!

This letter should be

• addressed to Parents/Guardians,
• greeting [not the first letter you are sending to parent…one you will send 2 – 3 weeks into school]
• free from grammar or spelling errors
• on ‘fancy’ paper — add clip art/pictures, border, background
• 1.5 – 2 pages (may be longer depending on the border or clip art you use)
• 12 point Arial font, single spaced
• bold the theorists’ names
• something you could send home to parents 2- 3 weeks into school without making ANY changes (could be sent home ‘AS IS’)
• DO NOT introduce yourself in this letter…you will already know them
• begin with an introduction paragraph explaining what centers are, (physically) paint parents a picture with your words (remember we can even put centers in a box)
• MUST have 3 paragraphs [beginning – middle – end] ——— may have more

Write this letter with the thought in mind that parents have never seen a classroom that uses learning centers and they do not understand the importance of play and interaction with peers in a learning environment.  Be careful not to use language or terms that only teachers will understand. If you need to,  briefly explain terms. Remain positive. Also remember that parents won’t know who the theorist are, so a (very) brief description could be beneficial to them.

Think back to your first thoughts about learning centers: What has helped you understand their importance to help children truly understand? Maybe that will help your parents/readers.

Other Things to REMEMBER

• easily read and understood by anyone who is NOT an early childhood major (make sure the reader knows what a learning center is, has in it, and what students do there)
• border, picture, clip art, or background
• support from at least 3 theorists (BOLD their names)—tell who they are and something about them— should make a smooth and reasonable connection throughout the paper. Make sure theorists support your thoughts…they should NOT be the bulk of the paper (TMI – too much information) or in one clump in the paper but spread throughout.
• use formal word choices, not conversational language (words like “stuff, “a lot” are not formal)

Aristotle maintains that the highest good is ‘happiness’ (‘eudaimonia’ in Greek). Please write an essay about Aristotle’s concept of eduaimonia that answers the following questions:

1. What, in your own words, does Aristotle mean by ‘eudaiomonia’?
2. For Aristotle, does the highest good of happiness include those moments when you experience intense pleasure? Why or why not?
3. If, for Aristotle, eudaimonia is not simply a matter of experiencing pleasure, what else might it involve?

Please ensure that your essay addresses each component of the assigned questions and that your answer is well-organized, uses excellent, college-level prose, and makes judicious use of textual evidence. Your essay should be 600-900 words long.

Deliverable Length:  500–700 words + graphs

In economics, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Below, you will find two scenarios. Your assignment is to discuss the situation by writing the solutions, and then show the solutions and how you got here in one or more graphs or flowcharts.

Scenario One

Supply and demand are foundational concepts in understanding economic theory. Whether you are a coffee drinker or not, you have been tasked to examine the impact of supply and demand when dealing with the coffee retail industry. A few companies probably come to mind. Pick a major coffee retailer, and then contemplate what has been happening to both the supply and demand for this product.

Next, analyze the following scenario that deals with what happened in the coffee industry at the beginning of the last decade:

In the early part of the last decade, there was an overproduction of coffee. The price dropped so low that producers’ costs were higher than the market price. The reason this happened was that market prices became high before this, and the supply of coffee increased substantially. In the meantime, demand for coffee and everything else remained the same.

Coffee prices, as a supply input, went down. In the meantime, gourmet coffee houses began appearing, which began charging a premium for coffee in the period of decreasing prices. Gourmet coffee houses tend to open in high-rent areas and cater to higher income consumers. Because of the change they created for taste and preferences and the higher income market, the gourmet coffee houses had a win-win in a period of falling wholesale prices and increasing retail prices.

• Explain the changes in the supply and demand creating a supply and demand curve based on the above information.
  • In this graph, be sure to demonstrate how these changes affected the price and quantity levels of supply and demand.
• Based on this analysis, how were coffee retailers faring in the marketplace?

Scenario Two

In this next scenario, start your discussion by examining the differences between the definitions of the macroeconomics and microeconomics. Next, discuss how the concepts of supply and demand relate to (1) microeconomics and (2) macroeconomics.

For you to demonstrate understanding of supply and demand from the perspective of microeconomics versus macroeconomics, pick 2 of the 10 scenarios below and discuss the following questions:

• Is the scenario a macroeconomic or microeconomic example of supply and demand?
• Is this impacting supply or demand?
• Is this example going to experience a shift or a movement of supply or demand?
• As a result of this change, what happened to equilibrium price and quantity?

The 10 examples for you to consider are as follows:

1. After Hurricane Katrina, what happened to the price of fish?
2. After the development of the microchip, what happened to the price of computers?
3. After the government raised tariffs on imported cheese, what happened to the price of domestic cheese?
4. Polyester suits have become trendy again. What happens to their price?
5. Internet auction sites are becoming more popular, and people are using them more and more.
6. A new health report came out that said red wine lowers cholesterol.
7. The government raises taxes.
8. Inflation increases.
9. Immigration laws are relaxed.
10. The government increases spending

(TCO A) Compare and contrast prime and conversion costs. Give three examples of each.

(TCO B) Describe cost-volume-profit analysis. What is sensitivity analysis and what questions does it answer in CVP analysis?

(TCO C) Describe the seven steps in job costing. Which step do you think is most important?

(TCO D) Compare and contrast job costing and process costing and give two examples of each. What is the weighted average process-costing method and when would it be used?

Positioning and Brand Loyalty

Identify at least three sports products to which consumers demonstrate high degrees of brand loyalty. Summarize these products and why you think loyalty is so high.

Search the internet for the websites of these products. Compare and contrast between the products’ positioning on their websites. Discuss what you as a manager would do differently with these products in terms of positioning.

2. Include a defensible, relevant thesis statement clearly in the first paragraph. (The thesis statement may need to be modified to reflect added information and purpose of this part.)
3. Explain a detailed, viable solution that supports your thesis. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
4. State, explain, and support the first advantage (economic, social, political, environmental, social, equitable, ethical/moral, etc.) to your solution. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
5. State, explain, and support the second advantage (economic, social, political, environmental, social, equitable, ethical/moral, etc.) to your solution. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
