George’s ladder was gone from it’s usual spot it was later found in an embankment. The engine in his truck wouldn’t start, later someone would say they had seen someone messing with the engine during the night. The buckets full of water were frozen solid. The phones in neighboring homes wouldn’t connect to the operators to get a hold of the operators. Others may say that the children died in the fire. Four reasons why others are wrong, the fire chief claimed to have found a heart at the scene of the fire and he buried it in a box, but it turned out to be a piece of cow liver. Firefighters said that the reason no one saw them yelling out the windows is because they were just children and probably hid under their bed because they were scared. The fire chief suggested that the blaze was hot enough to cremate the bodies. The fire department had found some bones at the scene, but for some reason never told the Sodders about it. The children were kidnapped because there were no remains in the ashes, there were many sightings of them after the fire.

Breaking news! Recently there has been a fire in the small town of Windrixville, nearly killing four young children and two teenage boys. In this tragic incident, three young men rescued some young children from a burning church. Apparently, the children were playing in the church when it was set on fire.

When bringing the children to Josh’s home in Graham, Washington Josh grabbed the children and shut the door on her. She immediately called 911 after not being left in. Shortly after the home exploded killing Josh and the two children. Local authorities treated the act as a double-murder suicide and concluded that it appeared to be deliberate (Merryman, 2012). The official cause of death for Josh and the boys was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning. The coroner also noted the boys had significant chopping injuries on the head and neck. A hatchet was recovered near Josh’s body suggesting he had attacked the boys before being overwhelmed by smoke and flames (KOMO Staff & news services, 2012). The fire was fueled by two five-gallon cans of gasoline as well as gasoline spread throughout the

June Spence the Author of “Missing Women” she was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. She was the editorial assistant for a newspaper “Missing Women reflects some of her experience as an editorial assistant at the newspaper” (pg209). With that being said in an article June stated “I was working entirely from memory and imagination Google was not something you used then” (Unshelved). In this story I got the impression that people will have different reaction toward missing people. You will also see the different sides to people and how the community tries to come together for the missing.
Joe made it out of the building alive and then he remembered that he had left his pocket watch that meant a lot to him because it had been part of the family. Joe went back into the burning building just to get the pocket watch and never returned from the building. He died. There was a rumor that on the ninth floor the exit doors were locked. The women were trying to get out but they claimed they were locked in. After the fire was put out the firefighters went up into the building and was looking to see if there were any survivors that were left up there and were collecting the bodies of the women that were burned to death.

Chapter four introduced the different developments preschoolers are experiencing and how to adapt teaching to each development. For example, it said that because toddlers are undergoing lots of physical development a majority of their day needs to be active learning. The different developments chapter four talked about were physical development, social and emotional development, cognitive development, and language and literacy development. I agree that teachers need to use these developments to teach the children. What is the point of teaching if nothing is getting through? When teachers use the children’s weaknesses and strengths to teach they are going into the child’s world and by doing so can give that child a better understanding of the
If we look at the statistics that have been revealed since the last school closed in 1996, it is said that about 6000 of the 150,000 or 1 out of every 25 children was killed, but only 3,200 deaths were confirmed. “These are actual numbers” said Alex Maass, research manger with the Missing Child project. There were many reasons how the children could have died. The dormitories were disease breeding grounds. Many had tried to escape, but died trying, and some that were caught were killed or severely punished. As part of the Missing Child Project 50 burial sights were found . The schools were not in great condition as 53 of them turned to ashes. In each of the schools that were destroyed by fire at least 40 children were found dead. The schools
Bobby Dale Jamison, Sherilynn Leighann Jamison, and their six-year-old daughter were residents of Eufaula, Oklahoma. The Jamison’s were purchasing a 40-acre plot, 30 miles away from their rented residence. The last time they were seen alive was on their home security camera footage.

One of the most successful and influential early childhood educational strategies that have been used to promote children’s social and cognitive development is scaffolding. Scaffolding generally refers to the process through which adults facilitate children’s learning by enabling them achieve a level of ability beyond the child’s capacity at the time (Scarlett, 2005). This essay will discuss how scaffolding facilitates and supports meaning making in children’s play. First, the essay will briefly introduce the concept of scaffolding and its importance in children’s development. The essay will then explore various early childhood educational theories that support or acknowledge the role played by scaffolding, the view of children as learners capable of constructing meaning and the importance of teacher presence in a play based curriculum. The essay will examine scaffolding through the theoretical lens of the philosophy of Reggio Emilia, the constructivist theories of Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget and Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The essay will argue that all examined theories support the role of scaffolding in facilitating and supporting meaning making in children’s play and emphasize the importance of teacher presence in all areas of the curriculum, especially in a play based curriculum.

Holding him in my arms, I screamed out his name, hoping desperately for a response.
