The Dolch Sight Words list is the most commonly used set of sight words. Educator Dr. Edward William Dolch developed the list in the 1930s-40s by studying the most frequently occurring words in children’s books of that era. The list contains 220 “service words” plus 95 high-frequency nouns. These words comprise 80% of the words you would find in a typical children’s book and 50% of the words found in writing for adults. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier, because the child can then focus his or her attention on the remaining words.

The Dolch words are commonly divided into groups by grade level, ranging from pre-kindergarten to third grade, with a separate list of nouns. There are a total of 315 Dolch Sight Words.

From 50-75% of all words used in school books, library books, newspapers, and magazines are in the Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary of 220 words (preschool thru Grade 3).   The Dolch word list is made up of "service words" (pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs) which cannot be learned through the use of pictures.

In this section I've included a series of flashcards that can be printed and used to reinforce learning, the complete list of preschool words (see table) and some activity ideas for using the flashcards.

Ideas for Using the Flashcards:

The flashcards can simply be held up, giving the child the opportunity to read each one.   But if you're looking for a more engaging activity, try combining the Dolch flashcards with the noun picture flashcards for a variety of activities (I've listed some suggestions here from simplest to hardest)

  • ACTIVITY ONE:

       

    • have an adult arrange the flashcards to form a sentence. 
    • Read the sentence with/to the child
    • Remove one of the dolch words from the sentence and put it back in the pile (you may want to make the pile smaller in the beginning to make the activity easier). 
    • Give the pile to the child and have them find the correct card to place back in the sentence.
    • Re-read the sentence.
  • ACTIVITY TWO:

          

    • have an adult arrange the flashcards to form a sentence, leaving one card out.
    • read the incomplete sentence with/to the child.
    • present between 2 and 5 cards to the child (one of them should make the sentence complete)
    • have the child chose which is the correct card
    • re-read the sentence with the card chosen.   Talk about whether it makes sense or not.
  • ACTIVITY THREE:
    • provide the child with all or part of the pile of flashcards
    • allow them to create their own sentences using the cards
    • read the sentences with them and talk about what they've created.
    • OPTIONAL:  Have them glue their completed sentence to the bottom of a piece of construction paper and draw a picture of their sentence on the top.  (author/illustrator of their own story).

VZGLYAD / Deputy Director of the Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums advised to open schools and parks :: News of the day

Murashko said that Russia has a good basis for diagnosing coronavirus

There is no high incidence of coronavirus among children, so it is possible to resume the work of kindergartens and schools as before, said the deputy director of the FGBNU “Scientific Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums. Mechnikov Nikolai Filatov.

“In order to reduce the virulence of circulating viruses, I believe that it is now possible to open preschool institutions and schools. The fact is that these contingents (children - approx. VIEW) do not get sick, they are naturally protected today, they do not have a high incidence, and the virus, circulating on these contingents, will continue to lose its virulence. He is still losing, but not as intensively as we would like,” Filatov said on Monday at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country, TASS reports.

He added that the proportion of asymptomatic forms of coronavirus in Russia is growing. “I would ask to open parks, places of recreation. Without mass events, but when you see that the playgrounds are closed (...) this is not very clear to me today,” Filatov said.

He also believes that the builders should be allowed to resume work. “They are in a crowded state, they are waiting for their work, but they are in a hostel, in change houses. And, being in a crowded position, they are such a combustible material not only for coronavirus infection, but also for a number of others, and at construction sites they will be more dispersed than in hostels,” he explained.

Previously, Denmark became the first country in Europe to decide to open schools and kindergartens.

Reuters: Nord Stream lines will be mothballed due to lack of plans to repair them

The Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, three of the four lines of which were damaged by explosions, will be mothballed because there is no plan to repair them in the near future, media reported.

Two Reuters sources said that although the pipelines are not planned to be repaired, they will at least be mothballed for possible future reopening. Another source also confirmed that the parties concerned are considering the possibility of conservation, RIA Novosti reports.

The Agency indicated that this would most likely mean sealing the ruptures and coating the pipes to prevent further seawater corrosion.

According to a representative of the German company E. ON, which also owns a stake in Nord Stream AG, no decision has been made either for or against the restoration of the lines.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Russia would no longer allow the West to blow up gas pipelines. He recalled that Russia asked for an investigation into the situation with the explosions at Nord Stream, but the request was immediately rejected.

Japan decides to resume oil purchases from Russia

Platts: Japan resumes purchases of Russian oil for the first time in eight months

Japan decided to return to the purchase of Russian oil for the first time in eight months from the Sakhalin-2 field, follows from the data of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of the country.

Platts, citing the agency, writes that Japan imported 747,706 barrels of Russian Sakhalin Blend oil in January, the first crude oil import from Russia in eight months.

According to METI*, Sakhalin Blend's January import was the first since Japan bought 650,793 barrels of Russian oil in May. Japan has not imported Russian oil for seven consecutive months, as the country's largest refineries ENEOS and Idemitsu Kosan have not signed new contracts.

The move by Japanese oil refiners follows Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's May 9, 2022 comments that Japan will impose a "fundamental" ban on Russian oil imports following the G7 leaders' latest commitment.

Suspended crude oil inflows have reduced Russian oil imports to Japan by 60.2% to just 35,548 bpd in 2022. At the same time, Japan increased its share of crude oil imports from the Middle East in 2022 to 94.1% from 92.7% a year ago, METI data showed.

Earlier it was reported that Japan in January 2023 reduced oil imports from Russia by 76% compared to the same period a year earlier, imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) dipped by 9.7%.

Weapons supplied to Ukraine will be destroyed, and efforts to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are doomed to failure, said US Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov in connection with Washington's allocation of another package of military assistance to Kyiv.

“American assistance will prolong the agony of the Kyiv regime,” Antonov continued. “The threat he poses will be moved to the required distance from our borders, and all foreign weapons that fall into Ukrainian hands on the battlefield will be ground up and destroyed.”

A Ukrainian commander with the call sign "Magyar", who has recently been frequently recording videos about the situation at the front, said that his unit was ordered to immediately leave the city of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut).

Magyar reported that he "received a combat order to urgently depart from Bakhmut to a new place of hostilities," Tsargrad reports.

In a video message, Magyar asked about the reasons for the transfer of the unit “at a critical moment for Bakhmut”, but did not answer it, since he considers himself “first of all a military man”, and therefore cannot comment on the orders of the command. “We are following orders,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

As blogger Sergei Kolyasnikov noted, the flight of a well-known UAF officer is “a very bad omen for the remaining Ukronazis, no one is going to take them out.”

The blogger also suggested that Magyar would soon be filming videos about Bakhmut being allegedly under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. “Under Soledar, he lied like that for weeks, the pots went with a bang,” he added.

Earlier, Magyar said that the Ukrainian side was losing one or two companies a day in Artemovsk.

Methods of environmental education of preschool children



Raising children is a very complex and responsible process. The well-known Russian educational psychologist S. L. Soloveichik spoke about this process as follows: “The upbringing of children is the oldest of human affairs, it is not a single day younger than mankind; that's why it seems like an easy job: everyone can do it, and we can do it. In fact, this look is deceptive ... and this is the most difficult of all things.

In recent years, there have been many different changes in the field of education and work with preschoolers.

The Federal State Educational Standard pays special attention to environmental education, since its foundation is laid from an early age. In this regard, it is necessary to instill in children a love for nature and ecology in general from childhood. According to many Russian scientists, children's memory, like a sponge, is able to absorb any material laid down by adults. At an early age, the child is more emotional and impressionable. Receiving any material, they develop a certain kind of worldview, the main base of the culture of behavior in nature is laid, and there is also a moment of accumulation of ideas about different forms of life.

In the process of environmental education, the foundations of interaction with nature are laid. With the help of adults, children learn to recognize its beauty as a common value for all people. Famous educational psychologists for many decades have recognized wildlife as a vital factor in the pedagogical process of teaching and educating preschoolers.

Children of this age category get acquainted with the environment through communication with the flora and fauna. Delving into the diversity of beauties and varieties of natural phenomena, they gradually come to realize its value for a person, which awakens in preschoolers a sense of responsibility for the state of the environment.

Touching moral and aesthetic feelings, we direct the child to thoughts about the conservation, rational use of natural resources and their multiplication. When planning the annual work in this area, the educator sets a specific goal, which reflects the formation in children of an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe animal and plant world, environmentally competent behavior in nature. For its implementation, a number of educational tasks are also being developed:

- Through play activities, to instill in preschoolers initial environmental knowledge.

- In the course of using non-traditional methods of work on the topic of environmental education of preschoolers, develop creative, social, cognitive activity;

Working on the section of environmental education of preschoolers, the educator carries out educational activities in two directions: in everyday life - thematic walks, observations, conversations, examinations, etc. and in the classroom. Children actively use the acquired knowledge in various situations.

But do not forget that for a greater effect, work on environmental education must be carried out not only within the walls of the kindergarten, but also at home.

From the age of two, children are shown individual bright moments and events that are associated with different seasons and natural phenomena.

This material is studied by children in a balanced and gradual way. Through various activities: fun, riddles, various games, and, of course, classes and illustrative material: didactic paintings, photographs, transparencies, model diagrams, cartoons and educational presentations, etc.

We all know that the main activity of preschoolers is the game, but do not forget that an important role in the educational process is given to classes.

During the stage of preschool education, an important share of primary environmental knowledge about various aspects of natural life and human activities in it is transmitted to children precisely in the classroom.

There is a specific time allotted for each lesson.

Classes to familiarize children with the natural world are held in all age categories of preschool institutions.

In addition to the standard types of classes, a number of non-traditional ones can be noted, which directly differ from each other in didactic tasks, the logic of construction, the course of organization and conduct - these are quest games, theatricalization, staging, excursions, etc. This kind of work carried out in the section of environmental education preschoolers, allows the teacher to form knowledge about nature in a certain system and sequence, taking into account the age and physiological characteristics of children and the natural environment.

When planning an excursion lesson, the educator needs to work out a certain kind of scenario, you can also take bird feeders and food, you should also prepare excursion equipment and equipment for placing the collected material in a corner of nature. It is good to involve parents in this kind of activity, since this type of activity brings adults and children closer together.

As a result of excursion activities, children learn to generalize the results of their knowledge, to reflect, test and build hypotheses, to defend and formulate their opinion. Through a variety of educational activities, preschoolers begin to understand natural patterns, the foundations of environmentally safe and competent behavior in the environment.

Based on this, it can be argued that in the course of this type of activity, children form a system of elementary knowledge, develop basic cognitive processes and abilities, which is an important condition for children to master the elementary abilities of cognitive activity and develop their mental activity and independence.

Classes provide an opportunity to clarify and systematize the personal experience of children, which they accumulate during observations, games and work activities in everyday life.

This kind of material contributes to the active study, consolidation and clarification of the representation of children obtained in the course of direct perception of natural phenomena. With its help, one can form knowledge about objects and natural phenomena that cannot be observed at a given moment or in a given area (wild or domestic animals of other climatic zones).

Work on the formation of environmental education in a preschool institution begins with a nursery group and continues until graduation. By entrusting children with the care of plants in a group, the educator reinforces the skills of care and respect for wildlife.

As a result of work in this area, the children begin to form a personal experience of influencing the ecological environment, natural resources, practical knowledge is formed, and the need for activity among nature is developed. But in order to educate an environmentally literate citizen, work within the framework of a preschool educational institution is not enough.

It is necessary to properly organize the work of interaction between the kindergarten and the family, so that the process of forming environmental education continues at home. The work planned by the teacher with parents should be a continuous, but gradual process, and the material related to the topics of ecology that we, educators, are trying to convey to children through work with the family, should be selected taking into account the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard and the age characteristics of preschoolers. Properly planned activities of a child and an adult will lead to their cooperation, psychological and emotional rapprochement.

Together with traditional forms of work in the family and in a preschool institution, innovative methods and forms of work are actively used:

  1. Various thematic exhibitions, for example, an exhibition of drawings “Do not set fire to dead wood!”, “We will save nature”, a photo exhibition “Pets”, “Beauty of nature”, “We are at the zoo”;
  2. Joint environmental activities of educators, parents and children, for example, the action "Tree of Kindness", "Ecological path on the site of the kindergarten";
  3. Holding a competition for the best birdhouse "Bird's Dining Room".

Thus, based on the foregoing, we can conclude that when organizing work with preschool children, it is necessary to focus on differentiated, individual age characteristics of children.
