Health Education As easy as it is to identify the major health risk behaviors among youth, the challenge today is to determine "what works to prevent or reduce" these behaviors. The weaving together of skills and content knowledge form the basis of helping students learn what they need to know and be able to do to be safe and healthy. Students at the middle school are also expected to achieve the three New York State Learning Standards in health education which include: Standard 1 (Personal Health) - Students will understand human growth and development and recognize the relationship between behaviors and healthy development. They will understand ways to promote health and prevent disease and will demonstrate and practice positive health behaviors. . Standard 2 (A Safe & Healthy Environment) - Students will demonstrate personally and socially responsible behaviors. They will care for and respect themselves and others. They will recognize threats to the environment and offer appropriate strategies to minimize them. Standard 3 (Resource Management) - Students will understand the influence of culture, media, and technology in making decisions about personal and community health issues. They will know about and use valid health information, products, and services. Students will advocate for healthy families and communities. Health Education Grades: 6 Course Length: 10 weeks
Curriculum Content: Mental health, personal health, growth & development/family living, disease prevention and control, alcohol-tobacco and drugs, injury prevention/safety, consumer/community health, nutrition, environmental health and life skills.
Health Education Grades: 8 Course Length: 20 weeks
Curriculum Content: Mental health, personal health, growth and development/family planning, disease prevention, alcohol-tobacco and drugs, personal safety, consumer/community health, nutrition, environmental health and life skills.

Activities are based on ten learning modules, from the history of technology to the use of computers and automated systems. It is stressed that technology is actually the application of academic knowledge to solve man's practical problems and extend human capabilities. Technology education enhances science, math, social studies and language arts skills, and gives a practical application of this knowledge. Areas of student exploration are communication, information retrieval, transportation, energy, construction, electronics and computer application. Students work in cooperative groups and become involved using the problem solving approach to understand technology and its application to our every day lives. Students are taught through hands on lab activities utilizing materials, tools, instruments and equipment for the safe completion of their experiences.

This is a wonderful app! My son, who is two, loves to play this! It challenges him in ways other apps haven't even come close to. This is the first thing he tries to get on when he gets a hold of my phone. He is learning new words, shapes, letters and the sounds they make. This app is the best kid app I have found to date.

Author: Meredith Schutt at July 3, 2015
Not working after upgrade My kids used to love this app. I recently upgraded my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S6 and downloaded the latest version of the app. It looks great with more content, but we can't get to any of the activities. We've tried pressing everywhere but nothing works. Very Disappointed!
Author: Wesley Stanbach at Aug. 3, 2015
Having trouble? Try double or triple tapping VERY quickly. I had issues initially. When i tapped the menu items several times in rapid succession i was able to get every one to open reliably. I am using an s6.
Wth It was a large app, so I assumed it would be great. Once downloaded I can not open ANY game, no amount of tapping or swiping does anything on my s6. I deleted it.
Author: Huy Tran at Aug. 16, 2015
Umm, this game just doesn't start. I can't seem to open up any of the games or categories outside the mail box or more games options. Please fix so I can rate this game properly. PBS rocks otherwise.
Author: R Jackson at Sept. 26, 2015
Cant access the internal locations I like the idea if we could actually use the app. We get in but the internal options wont open up so we can play with our kids. There is nothing wrong with my screen. I use other apps evry day but this app i can touch and tap until my fingers hurt and cant get the little play and learn options to open up. I may have gotten two open and that was luck after tapping everywhere on the image
Doesn't work I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. And no matter what I press the app does nothing. Looks like it would be a fun app IF it would work.
Author: Krishna Sham at Aug. 2, 2015
Sounded like a good app Not able to do anything after download. No way to understand what might be wrong
Author: Kristina Johns at July 17, 2015
Does not work on GS5 Downloaded and does not work on my phone at all. You can see the home screen but not able to play any games.
Author: Laurel Seymour at Aug. 9, 2015
Won't work I'm S6 Managed to get one of the games to work almost accidentally but can't manage to get any of the others to work no matter what kind of tapping I try.
Author: Barrett Voigt at July 4, 2015
Free, but upgrade bad It's free, thank you, but it's hard to make a game selection in the main menu. The app doesn't seem to respond when you touch the picture, but continues to scroll instead. I see others have said the same thing a month ago. I take it no one is going to fix the problem soon?
Excellent app...my son love it but after update it doesn't work anymore...very sad!!
Wouldn't play any games Little exclamation marks showed up next to every game, there was no info as to why. Uninstalled app.
Doesn't work on my LG phone
Author: Jordan Carter at Sept. 25, 2015
Does not work Fast tapping doesn't work. Game works just fine on my wife's iPhone but not my s6. Needs to be fixed my kid loves the app.
Author: Kristy H at Aug. 7, 2015
Doesn't Work Never could get any of the games to work. Totally unresponsive.
Author: DearestPanda at July 11, 2015
Difficult Selecting It's good if you know where to tap. The 'button' areas aren't large enough for easy navigation.
Author: David Roach at Aug. 14, 2015
3 year old loves it! A lot of variety This game has surpassed Daniel Tiger in popularity. There's a lot of options here for pre-readers, and many audio cues and action sound effects. Lots of educational games to choose from.

Won't even start up Every time I try to start the app, it closes and says "looking for resources to download." I was looking forward to using this with my 2 year old, since we watch pbs kids every day, pay for products featuring pbs characters, and even donate to our local station. Tried to redownload multiple times and it still will not boot up.

Was great before last update App was used frequently by my daughter. Now, it won't open, stating that it is looking for resources to download. Would be a 5 star if the update didn't mess it up.

Love app when it works and no black screen My kids love this. They both have same Samsung Galaxy tablet. One app works and one app only opens to black screen. I had to Uninstaller from both tablets since both kids wanted to play it. I could never get the one to open to anything but a black screen. Why can't PBS kids fix this since it seems to be a common problem leaving kids very dissappointed.

While this piece is collectable, it probably isn't the best way to invest in silver. If you are a fan of Frazetta it is a beautiful piece to hold. It honors his work with a numbered piece and a certificate of authenticity. A Frazetta fan has to have this. Nice desktop display.

I love it. This is the first purchase i have made of one of his designs. Learned about him through a buisness channel show and really liked his work. When I saw this I had to have a couple. If i ever sell. It will be hard to let go of this one. I also dont normaly purchase for art work just best deal for strait up silver. Dont think i could go wrong with these.

Need an Online Appraisal? Ask an Appraisal Expert
Hi, thank you for your question! I have completed thousands of musical instrument appraisals and will be happy to help with yours.
We only provide appraisal services here rather than dealer or broker services. Would you like help finding a value?
Hello Margaret,
My name is ***** ***** I'm happy to help.
We do not provide the service of finding a customer for you, but I can tell you how best to find your own customer. Are you interested in that?
Hi again Margaret,
Here is some help with finding the serial number.
Once I have the serial number, I can value the piano for you.
It's possible that the serial number has been removed, but it wouldn't have been done during refinishing.
The purpose of knowing the serial number is ***** it enables us to determine the age of the piano. But we know that it is at least as old as the 1960s and probably older.
Since your family has owned the piano, has it been regularly tuned? Has it had any internal restoration?
Actually, the Bush and Gerts brand was manufactured by another company (Haddorff) until 1960. But, none of that matters. Any piano older than thirty years needs internal restoration.
Old pianos have no value just for being old. In other words, prospective buyers are not collecting pianos; they want to be able to play them. Pianos have parts that wear out and must be replaced, and a piano that hasn't been regularly tuned will not hold a tuning. So, old pianos are at a disadvantage in the market.
Pianos are valued heavily on age after other factors like style, maker and condition. Age will tell you what kind of wear the piano would have mechanically. Even if the outside looks good the internal mechanisms are likely only in fair condition.
If it is in good cosmetic condition, the current retail (replacement or insurance) value of is approximately $1,000. If you were to sell it, you could expect to get the fair market (private sale or auction) value of approximately 40% of the retail amount or $400, depending on location and actual condition.
To sell the piano, you should advertise locally - you don't want to have to ship it. You can advertise on craigslist.com (free), in your local newspaper or on the bulletin board of a local supermarket. You could also post a notice on the bulletin board at a music school or the music department of a local college. If none of that nets you a sale, you may want to consider donating the piano to a charitable organization.
I hope this answer has bene helpful to you, Margaret.
If you have any further questions or problems concerning this answer, please let me know.
If you would like to work with me on further questions you might have, it would be a pleasure to work with you again. All you have to do is put my name (Judith) at the beginning of your question.
I need your positive rating! Could you very kindly rate my services (with the stars or "accept" button) as this is how I get paid by JustAnswer, at no extra cost to you. Please click the five stars above and then click the green button. We can still continue to communicate here on this thread after you do.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for your positive rating, Margaret.
If you have additional items you want to know about, I'd be happy to help you with those. If you want me to answer your questions, all you need to do is use my name, Judith, as the first word of each question.
Best regards,

An hour ago I was at the garden center having fun with my siblings when a man and woman brought me here and planted me in front of this skyscraper! They said I'll look beautiful once I've covered this tower. ARE THEY KIDDING ME? How will I ever do that? You might as well ask an ant to climb Everest.

somehow seemed sad to me – being kidnapped from the nursery.
True, Sam, but think how sad it would be to be the LAST sibling to go.

WEARSIDERS gave Her Majesty a reception fit for a Queen when she landed on Sunderland soil.
After spending the night docked in the Leander G yacht at The Port of Sunderland, the Queen and Prince Philip disembarked to a warm welcome from the crowd.
The royal couple were met by a sea of Union flags, cheers and rapturous applause as they made their way along the red carpet and into Sunderland Diamond Jubilee Exhibition.
The Queen stopped to speak to youngsters from Southwick Primary School, Sunderland university graduates and dignitaries as she made her way through the marquee that chronicled each decade of her 60-year reign.
During her visit, she stepped back in time to watch Wearsiders preparing for a 50s street party, she relived the 1966 World Cup win, reminisced over Wearside Silver Jubilee celebrations and celebrated Sunderland gaining city status.
Pupil Bethany Lawson, 10, was in the tent dedicated to England's victorious 1966 World Cup win.
The youngster was one of eight who were acting as team members of the winning squad.
She said: "The Queen came and had a look at what we were doing and asked us about it.
"It was a very special moment and I was very nervous but she was nice."
Echo readers helped with our live coverage of the event by adding their tweets and pictures to our live blog.
