Parent/Caregiver outlines the shape of one of the creatures in “I Know and Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” (e.g., spider) on a large piece of Bristol/Poster board and prints out the words to the first verse of the song inside the creature outline. Parent/Caregivers cut the large creature shape out and then cut it into giant puzzle pieces for children to reassemble. The activity invites children to rely on both the shape of the pieces and their reading skills to assemble the puzzle pieces. Once the puzzle has been completed, children can read or sing the song aloud as they point to the words with guidance of parent or caregiver.
The overall calendar should be interdisciplinary, that is to say, in addition to activities aimed at developing skills related to the language arts of reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing and representing, the calendar should include literacy activities that support learning in math, science, social studies, physical education, and music. Create the calendar in Word (rows/columns) or another digital platform and mark your annotated entries in each of the calendar squares. Include a list of references for websites and resources and an APPENDIX of any resources used that you wish to include such as lyrics to songs, poems, illustrations, directions to crafts, recipes, etc.
Spend some time exploring the following websites. Think about how the recommendations, activities, and literature support early and family literacy? What activities actively promote literacy (e.g., puppets to dramatize and retell stories) and which seem to be busy work?
strong dispersal of the organization but also of the alternation of the peace periods – armistice – war. For such a tangible purpose (the establishment of the Palestinian Islamic State) under the conditions of an adverse international context (non-recognition by different countries as a state), the regional one (the wars in the area, the geopolitical and geostrategic influence of the US in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) or the national one (disagreements between organizations-ex: Fatah), Hamas dispenses with a whole logistic, propaganda and military arsenal to achieve the proposed goals.
In this area (West Bank, Gaza), the group has a number of regional and secondary centers. The infrastructure of the organizational framework presupposes :
‘ Fundraising and distribution infrastructure, as well as the organization of meetings (Daiwah)
‘ The security infrastructure (Amn; Jehaz Amn), which has direct responsibility for providing logistical and informational support to combat collaborators and spies. They also organize the interrogations and assassinations of important personalities.
‘ Propaganda publications (Al-Alam), which communicate the organization’s press releases, media and propaganda.
‘ The ‘Izz Ad-Din Al-Qassam’ brigades (I.D.B.Q.), which represent the military wing of the movement established in 1992.
‘ Palestinian fighters (Al-Majahadoun Al-Falestinioun) are the lance group made up of fighters who commit and coordinate terrorist attacks.
As for the military and security apparatus, Hamas has the following structure :
Hamas Organization (Fig.1)
The organization is a hierarchical structure that imitates the correct stratification of any contemporary modern army. The main command centers in Gaza-Damascus are found in cooperation and coordination relations, this bicephal leadership being a real logistic and strategic advantage. From a numerical point of view, if we quantify security forces, police and IDQBs, most studies claim Hamas has 15,000-16,000 potential combatants. Of these, the elite of the operational fighters consists mostly of I.D.Q.B.s, which are between 2,000 and 3,000 fighters . The I.D.Q.B. is organized in 6 brigades that have hierarchically subordinated battalions, which in their turn plutoane. If we compare the Hamas with the other groups in the area (Hezbolah or Al Fatah), it has the widest military staff .
Undoubtedly, we can argue that Hamas has impressive military capabilities. Without exag
