Free Pre K math book

2009-06-02T13:30:00.000-07:00

You can get a free math,activity book here: Pre K Math book. The book is in pdf format so you can download it easily. It focuses on little activities that you can do with your preschooler around the home,to help increase mathematical awareness and reasoning. It's called, "Building a Child's Math Skills", and is 28 pages long. It covers topics such as patterns, shapes, numbers, and space and is a good foundational approach for elementary math skills. Classification is presented in an easy manner,such as matching or sorting through household objects, like shoes and socks. You can also teach matching, sorting, and classifying by putting silverware away in the right drawer (you could even use play silverware and a kitchen housekeeping area instead of using real silverware).

Other activities include sorting such as grouping like or similar objects together. You'll find that you can easily group or sort various items together in different sets or groups. Discussing how you are classifying or sorting objects is an excellent way to ensure that your children are grasping the concept. The activity pages include working on smaller, larger, more, less, and other math concepts. There are also many pages that focus on shapes, an important aspect of early mathematical skills.

Creating patterns is an important activity and you can find patterns in your environment or create them with children. Along with patterns, creating a series is also important. Determine a similar trait, such as smallest to largest and have children arrange objects or toys in a series. Engaging in activities and play is the best way to make certain that your child thoroughly grasps these mathematical concepts and will be ready for elementary math when the time comes.

Spatial awareness includes concepts such as next, beside, top, bottom, above, below, middle, left, right, center, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, before, after, and more. Activities that help children understand spatial awareness is important. The book has plenty of ideas to help you introduce and reinforce this topic with your children. One game in particular that can be of a great advantage in this area is the Hokey Pokey. By using the ideas and activities in this free book with your preschooler, you can rest assured that he or she will be prepared when it's time to progress in math.

This article is about the holiday in the United States. For the holiday in Newfoundland and Labrador, see Memorial Day (Newfoundland and Labrador) .

Memorial Day
The gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery are graced by U.S. flags on Memorial Day.
Also called	Decoration Day
Type	National
Date	Last Monday in May
Observances	Remembrance of American war dead

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.

[edit] Memorial Day Order

I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but Posts and comrades will, in their own way, arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.

We are organized, Comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose among other things, "of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers sailors and Marines, who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead? We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security, is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.

If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.

Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the Nation's gratitude—the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.

II. It is the purpose of the Commander in Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in time for simultaneous compliance therewith.

III. Department commanders will use every effort to make this Order effective.

—General Orders No. 11, Grand Army of the Republic Headquarters^[1].

[edit] Traditional observance

Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. local time. Another tradition is to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers often place American flags on each gravesite at National Cemeteries.

Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars take donations^[2] for poppies in the days leading up to Memorial Day; the poppy's significance to Memorial Day is the result of the John McCrae poem "In Flanders Fields."

In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also used as a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, and sporting events. One of the longest-standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911.

The National Memorial Day Concert takes place on the west lawn of the United States Capitol. The concert is broadcast on PBS and NPR. Music is performed, and respect is paid to the men and women who gave their lives for their country.

Some Americans view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.

Memorial Day formerly was observed on May 30. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) advocate returning to this fixed date, although the significance of the date is tenuous. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address:

“

Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.^[3]

”

Since 1987, Hawaii's Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II veteran, has repeatedly introduced measures to return Memorial Day to its traditional date.

[edit] Community observance

In addition to national observances, many individual communities hold memorial observance for fallen soldiers who were from that town by having a ceremony in a church or town memorial park. It is common for fire and police departments to remember and honor members lost in the line of duty. Towns often hold a Memorial Day parade in honor of such residents. Participation in such a parade is by community organizations such as members of the local emergency services and their vehicles, Rotary Clubs, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA, and bands from the local high school or church groups.

[edit] History

Following the end of the Civil War, many communities set aside a day to mark the end of the war or as a memorial to those who had died. Some of the places creating an early memorial day include Sharpsburg, Maryland, located near Antietam Battlefield; Charleston, South Carolina; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; Petersburg, Virginia; Carbondale, Illinois; Columbus, Mississippi; many communities in Vermont; and some two dozen other cities and towns. These observances coalesced around Decoration Day, honoring the Union dead, and the several Confederate Memorial Days.

According to Professor David Blight of the Yale University History Department, the first memorial day was observed on May 1, 1865 by liberated slaves at the Washington Race Course (today the location of Hampton Park) in Charleston, South Carolina. The site had been used as a temporary Confederate prison camp as well as a mass grave for Union soldiers who died in captivity. The freed slaves disinterred the dead Union soldiers from the mass grave to be inhumed properly reposed with individual graves, built a fence around the graveyard with an entry arch, declaring it a Union graveyard. On May 30, 1868, the freed slaves returned to the graveyard with flowers they had picked from the countryside and decorated the individual gravesites, thereby creating the first Decoration Day. Thousands of freed blacks and Union soldiers paraded from the area, followed by much patriotic singing and a picnic.^[4]

The official birthplace of Memorial Day is Waterloo, New York. The village was credited with being the place of origin because it observed the day on May 5, 1866, and each year thereafter. The friendship between General John Murray, a distinguished citizen of Waterloo, and General John A. Logan, who helped bring attention to the event nationwide, likely was a factor in the holiday's growth.

Logan had been the principal speaker in a citywide memorial observation on April 29, 1866, at a cemetery in Carbondale, Illinois, an event that likely gave him the idea to make it a national holiday. On May 5, 1868, in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans' organization, Logan issued a proclamation that "Decoration Day" be observed nationwide^[5]. It was observed for the first time on May 30 of the same year; the date was chosen because it was not the anniversary of a battle. The tombs of fallen Union soldiers were decorated in remembrance.

Many of the states of the U.S. South refused to celebrate Decoration Day, due to lingering hostility towards the Union Army and also because there were relatively few veterans of the Union Army who were buried in the South. A notable exception was Columbus, Mississippi, which on April 25, 1866 at its Decoration Day commemorated both the Union and Confederate casualties buried in its cemetery.^[6]

Troops at the Washington, D.C. Memorial Day parade, 1942.

The alternative name of "Memorial Day" was first used in 1882. It did not become more common until after World War II, and was not declared the official name by Federal law until 1967. On June 28, 1968, the United States Congress passed the Uniform Holidays Bill, which moved three holidays from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend. The holidays included Washington's Birthday, now celebrated as Presidents' Day; Veterans Day, and Memorial Day. The change moved Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. The law took effect at the federal level in 1971.

After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply, all fifty states adopted the measure within a few years. Veterans Day was eventually changed back to its traditional date. Ironically, most corporate businesses no longer close on Veterans Day, Columbus Day, or President's Day, with the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and/or New Year's Eve often substituted as more convenient "holidays" for their employees. Memorial Day endures as a holiday which most businesses observe because it marks the beginning of the "summer vacation season." This role is filled in neighboring Canada by Victoria Day, which occurs either on May 24 or the last Monday before that date, placing it exactly one week before Memorial Day.

Waterloo's designation as the birthplace took place just in time for the village's centennial observance. The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate unanimously passed House Concurrent Resolution 587 on May 17 and May 19, 1966 respectively, which reads in part as follows: "Resolved that the Congress of the United States, in recognition of the patriotic tradition set in motion one hundred years ago in the Village of Waterloo, NY, does hereby officially recognize Waterloo, New York as the birthplace of Memorial Day..."

On May 26, 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a Presidential Proclamation recognizing Waterloo, New York as the Birthplace of Memorial Day.

[edit] In literature and music

Charles Ives's symphonic poem "Decoration Day" depicted the holiday as he experienced it in his childhood, with his father's band leading the way to the town cemetery, the playing of "Taps" on a trumpet, and a livelier march tune on the way back to the town. It is frequently played with three other Ives works based on holidays as the second movement of A New England Holidays Symphony.

Happy Memorial Day?

2009-05-25T05:15:00.001-07:00

It seems strange to say, "Happy Memorial Day," doesn't it. I mean, how can you actually be "happy" when you are remembering those who died in war, and those whose lives are currently hanging in the balance in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Honestly, I don't see why we should "celebrate" Memorial Day with parties, barbecues, and picnics- unless it is to show those who died that their sacrifice wasn't in vein- that we relish the freedom they bought with their blood. But for me, I find Memorial Day and Veterans Day a somber time- not a great time for picnicking.

That might be why the Florida sky seems sullen today, and the rain like heaven's tears. The air is cold and uninviting, I won't be outside enjoying the festivities. There is a sadness in my heart for those who've lost their lives, their limbs, and their futures in this time of war. I'd like to say, "Happy Memorial Day" but I can't, it isn't a happy, celebratory time.

Don't forget to hold a moment of silence today at 3:00 p.m. and remember those who served in our Armed Forces and died for our country, and while you're at it, say a prayer for the safety and protection of those who have willingly placed their lives in harm's way to secure our freedom, and keep the American dream alive for our children.

Against the Storm was a radio daytime drama which had three separate runs over a 13-year period on NBC and ABC. It ran in the years 1939 to 1942, 1949 and finally in 1951-52. Created and written by Sandra Michael, the drama was the only daytime radio serial to ever win a Peabody Award (1942). However, by the end of that year it was off the air.

The program pivoted around the activities of Professor Jason McKinley Allen (Roger DeKoven, who starred in all three runs), his wife, daughters and friends. Allen, who lived in Hawthorne, Connecticut at Deep Pool Farm, taught classes at the fictional Harper University, which is not to be confused with the real Harpur College in Binghamton, New York.

With Allen an outspoken pacifist, war resistance was an underlying theme, and his position as a professor made it possible for Sandra Michael to incorporate literature and poetry readings into her storylines. In one memorable episode, a shortwave broadcast from England enabled real-life Poet Laureate John Masefield to speak in Allen's fictional classroom.

Axel Gruenberg directed Sandra Michael's scripts. The show's theme music was by Alfred Newman, taken from his score for The Song of Bernadette.

Variety praised a 1941 episode about a girl refugee seeing the skyscrapers of Manhattan as "one of the most distinguished and stirring broadcasts in the history of commercial daytime radio."

The serial's title was taken from King Lear: "... disconnect in watching Lear rage against the storm in a sun-drenched redwood... His rage against the storm and decline into madness are laced with lightning..."

Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May. For the year 2009, it will be observed on May 25. Once referred to as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is the time that Americans remember and honor those who have died serving in the United States Armed Forces. The memorial service was first celebrated to remember the Union soldiers who lost their lives in the American Civil War. Memorial day is a federal holiday, meaning that the holiday is recognized by the United States government. As a federal holiday, government buildings will be closed and those who do work are often paid overtime.

It is a form of tradition to visit the grave sites of those who perished in times of war and place flowers or other items at their graves. Every Memorial Day, at 3:00 p.m Eastern Time Zone, a national moment of remembrance takes place. The United States government has a website dedicated to remembering those lost in war, the address is: http://www.remember.gov

Here are some printables and Memorial Day artwork that you can use to remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
