Teaching young children requires more than an ability to set goals, apply techniques and assess outcomes. It involves developing trusting relationships, deciding what children need to know, creating secure and stimulating learning environments and working cooperatively with other significant adults in the children's lives. This book will help teachers prepare for and make the most of the teaching practice in a variety of early childhood settings.
Two detective stories: The Witness of the prosecution and The Mystery of the Blue Jar. Read by Adam Muskin. The Witness of the prosecution. A murder trial takes a diabolical turn when the wife of the accused takes a stand...A woman's sixth--and a loaded revolver--signal premonitions of doom...A stranded motorist seeks refuge in a remote mansion, and is greeted with a dire warning...Detective Hercule Poirot faces his greatest challenge when his services are enlisted--by the victim--in a bizarre locked-room murder. "The Mystery of the Blue Jar" (1933) Jack Hartington lives for golf; since he's 24 and has to earn a living, he lives near a golf course where he can practice every morning before work. Then screams no one else hears begin coming from a cottage near the course, every morning at the same time - and whatever's going on centers around the image of a woman holding a blue jar. Агата Кристи - английская писательница, непревзойденный мастер детектива. Тонкая работа ума, отточенность мысли, логика и умение анализировать факты приковывают внимание к детективам Кристи. Она принадлежит к тем немногим писателям в области детективного жанра, чьи произведения написаны и изысканно, и занимательно. В разгадке преступлений побеждает умнейший. Ее рассказы интригуют с первой минуты. Audio reuploaded Thanks to NatYu!
