Elkonin boxes are an instructional method used in the early elementary grades to build phonological awareness by segmenting words into individual sounds. They are named after D.B. Elkonin, the Russian psychologist who pioneered their use. The boxes are squares drawn on a piece of paper or a chalkboard, with one box for each sound or phoneme.
DRUG CLASS: Calcitonin salmon is a man-made version of the hormone, calcitonin, that is found in salmon. Calcitonin is used for treating postmenopausal (after menopause) osteoporosis (bone loss), Paget's disease of bone, and hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels). In humans, calcitonin is produced by the thyroid gland. It acts primarily on bone, but the mechanism of its action is not well understood. Bone is in a constant state of remodeling, whereby old bone is broken-down by cells called osteoclasts, and new bone is laid down by cells called osteoblasts.
