This greenhouse was donated to Yates as part of a partnership with the UK Biology department and UK PIMSER, the Partnership Institute for Math and Science Education Reform. This project also involves sending UK graduate and undergraduate biology students to work with our scholars to learn about sustainability and plant science using the school garden and greenhouse. Tip #1: Encourage friends and relatives to give books to your child as gifts. Markers, colored pencils, pads of paper make excellent birthday or holiday gifts. Every special occasion my son gets lots of books. His library is full of fiction and non-fiction books. My son has loved books since he was able to sit on his own. I have videos of him at 10 months pretending to read a book; he was so cute. He is only two now but he loves books more than any toy that has ever been given to him. When we read together, my son always chooses a book that he enjoys; Charlie the Ranch Dog is his favorite. My son loves the question and answer time we share because he has my undivided attention to "show off" what he knows. I point to characters and ask who they are. I ask him to tell me what the character is doing. I ask him to draw a picture of the character (that is his favorite thing.:-) Any time you can read is great. If you choose to read right before bed as a routine and a special time for just you two it will make a huge difference. If you skip a day, that is okay, life happens. T. Jones |
