DOMAINS OF
LEARNING
More than Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic
Domains of Learning acquaints teachers at all grade levels and parents with the cognitive, affective, psychomotor, social and spiritual/emotional domains of learning. Each domain has a taxonomy of learning levels which create a learning environment for students to reach their greatest potential for meaningful careers, social understanding and self awareness. In other words, learning in school is much more than just learning reading, writing and arithmetic. The author from his varied educational experiences puts domain theory into practice for the classroom teacher, school administrators and for parents.

Elementary School Student Government & Intergroup Relations
Preamble to the Constitution of the United StatesWe the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings ofLiberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.Pledge of AllegianceI pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.When students enter kindergarten or first grade, they start to learn reading, writing and arithmetic, and they learn to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. But, do they know that “republic” means that we are a representative democracy, that “liberty” means that we have individual freedoms like free speech and religion, and do they know that “justice” means that we have laws that are outlined in our Constitution. Can we teach civics to young children? In this book, the author describes the many ways that elementary school children can practice democracy in their classroom and school through student government activities. It also outlines how student government can foster intergroup relations and teach children to learn about and respect all students in our multicultural society. As John Dewey, the renowned educator of the early twentieth century espoused, democracy must be taught in our classrooms if our country is to thrive as a democracy and reach the goal of a more perfect union.

Finding the Joys in
Your Life
During my lifetime, I have been fortunate to experience many joys from childhood to retirement and to witness many examples of ordinary people finding joy in their lives. My hope is that by chronicling joyful activities the readers will either reinforce the joy that they are experiencing in their lives or find additional ways to discover needed joy. The anecdotes in this book all have something in common; joy however gained is usually based on sharing a kindness. True joy is not selfish. They, also, demonstrate that personal joyfulness can leave our world better because we were in it. Cherish the joys in your life.
