题目内容

Parents are a child’s first teachers. But some parents never learned from good examples. In New York City, a nonprofit agency called Covenant House tries to help homeless young mothers become good parents.

The twelve or so teenagers who live at the shelter attend parenting classes four days a week. The class is called Mommy and Me. Teacher Delores Clemens is a mother of five and a grandmother. She teaches basic skills, like how to give a baby a bath and how to dress a baby depending on the season.

She remembers one student who learned from her mother not to pick up a crying baby. The mother said that would only make the child needy and overly demanding. Delores Clemens says, “that's not true. You have to hold your baby! He is crying for a reason. If you never pick him up, he's going to keep crying. Pick your baby up. Cuddle your baby. Hug him! And she started to do that. They just want a little cuddling and a little love. And it works!”

Delores Clemens says her students also learn how to be good mothers by letting themselves be mothered. Around three hundred fifty teenage mothers graduate from Covenant House's Mommy and Me class every year.

In class, with her baby son is Natasha. She lived on the streets. She is glad not only for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House. As she told reporter Adam Phillips, she is also glad for the help they offer in seeking a more secure life.

The World Health Organization says the United States has forty-one births for every one thousand girls age fifteen to nineteen. That is higher than other developed countries, as well as some developing ones. By comparison, northern neighbor Canada has fourteen births and southern neighbor Mexico has eighty-two.

      Here is some general information about Edison Elementary School. For more information, you
can visit our website which is printed on the cover.
     Attendance:
     Please contact the office at 480. 472. 5282 if your child is going to be absent.
     Renaissance Reading:
The Accelerated Reader (AR) Program is a computerized reading enrichment program that combines
great children's literature with computer skills. As an individualized reading program, it is designed to
motivate students to read more and to read good literature. Students of different abilities can use this
program. It is not a competitive program but one that improves any student's reading ability.
     Here is how it works. Students select books in their reading range from our Accelerated Reader
Selection and read it at their own pace. Once the student has completed the book, he/she is ready
to take an AR quiz. Each quiz consists of 5, 10, or 20 multiple choice comprehensive questions
about the book.
     After taking the quiz, the computer shows the student how many questions he/she answered
correctly, shows the correct answers for missed questions, and praises the students' efforts with an
onscreen personalized message. Passing the quiz assures the teacher and the parent that the child
actually read and understood the book.  Each student tests independently-reading the quiz questions
himself/herself.
     The computer keeps track of reading points, books, and average test scores, as well as other data.
A student may test on a book only once and should, therefore, have thoroughly read and understood
the contents before taking the quiz. Each student is responsible for reading the screen to be sure the
quiz, by title and author, is the correct one he/she wishes to take.
     Students are recognized for their accomplishments with praise from the teachers and special
recognition at the classroom level when individual and/or classroom goals are met.
