The Self Esteem Of Children During The Primary Grades Of...

The objective my project was to positively influence the self-esteem of children in the primary grades of two areas of Panama City. As a future early childhood teacher, I have learned it is important to find classroom activities that build the self-images of students, while creating a respect for individual differences and future goals (Lawrence, 2006, p. 101). High self-esteem correlates positivity with the academic achievements of students (Kaniuka, 2010, p. 184). Community partners indicated the need to help children build positive self-images while promoting the academic goals of primary grade students. Our community partners have indicated that they believe such an initiative will serve to lower the drop-out rates in schools within impoverished areas of Panama City. In addition, the Biblioteca of Mananitas, and Centro Educativo Marie Poussepin (â€Å"CEMP†) of Curundu has supported initiatives to increase home reading as a means to increase academic success. Lastly, commu nity partners have expressed a desire to introduction children to English words at an early age to increase future employability across various economic sectors in Panama. In furtherance of all of these objectives, I developed a lesson plan that encouraged children to create an All About Me book in both English and Spanish for the early primary grades of students in Mananitas and Curundu.

Fixed costs, which have always been a fundamental factor in managing profit maintenance and growth during fluctuations in the economy, have taken on additional management dimensions, especially for technology products, in which variable costs become low. An example is software, for which production costs can be minimal. When customers may suddenly cut
