Improved Essays
Currently, I am an assistant teacher in a full day Kindergarten class. I am amazed at how fast some of my students are learning the information they are provided where as others are struggling. Those who are learning, I noticed are benefitting from rote memorization. This skill is highly reinforced at this age, because it is a vital skill they need to be able to use as they continue their educational paths. The activities in my class that rote memorization is used is when the students are learning their numbers, shapes, ABC’s, colors, and site words. Ms. Cudney the head teacher, goes over a certain concepts daily during her circle time and she also plays YouTube videos that are specifically created for children to help them memorize concepts

    In Vocabulary Instruction Goes “Old School”, Suzanne Kail shares her experiences and trials as she is forced by her school’s English department to have all of her students “learn and memorize Latin or Greek roots and their definitions as a technique to enhance vocabulary skills” (Kail, 63). I will first address Kail’s initial reluctance to teach the Latin roots to her students, followed by the experiences that changed her feelings about the activity. I will then apply content from our unit on cognitive processes that enhance learning and explain why I think specific activities Kail used were effective in promoting meaningful learning. Finally, I will discuss what lessons I may take away from Kail’s and Heltin’s experiences of integrating lower…

    Case: Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley Kandice M. Sims Belhaven University Fall 2016 The Case For the case of Hudson v. Rowley, it is the only occasion the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the requirement of public schools to provide an appropriate education to students with disabilities (Wikipedia 2016). The case has been the foundation for many other arguments and has brought a strong understanding for providing proper services to children over the years. Understanding the Basics In my opinion, a child should be given all the possible necessities to better understand daily materials and assignments. We each know, all students cannot be taught the same because they each retain information…

    For example, one activity that we did was a dice game where my student would roll a die and whatever number he landed on was the sentence he would read, if he got the sentence correct he got to roll again. This was a great exercise because I was able to add words that included constant digraphs, but he also got to use repetition that allowed my student to start practice reading with expression and speed. During the activity I saw a huge improved with my student as he read the lines. I…

    In the Pre-K classroom that I observed it consisted of several different centers for the children to participate in, such as: block area, dramatic play, art, library, sand/water table, music/movement, sensory area, finger painting, play dough, and the students got the opportunity to make their own snacks. Not only did the students get to participate in centers, they had the opportunity each day to go outside and play on the playground as well as having an interactive lecture every morning at circle time and when the students sat down at their tables to do their daily worksheet. I believe that the Pre-K class I observed was a mix between traditional teaching as well as constructivism, creating a balance between the two. In the morning during circle time, the teacher would “lecture” the students with the letter of the day, go over the date, months, days of the week, shapes, and the numbers up to the date it currently was.…

    Montessori Method Essay

    In this summary, I am going to talk about the difference between Maths in the Montessori Method. Although the children who attend Montessori preschools have had numerous years working on the concepts of numbers, heights, weights and much more, the children do not begin working with the maths material from the Montessori curriculum straight away. Instead, each child is prepared indirectly for the use of the Maths way of thinking through the Montessori Area of both Sensorial and Practical Life work. This helps each child to develop the essential abilities needed for the higher level maths which they will learn in the 6 to 9 environment. The Montessori curriculum aims to develop a knowledge in the mathematical skills whether that be through problem…

    In addition to Feynman’s and Freire’s claims, Tzu also concluded that memorization is pointless. When focusing on finding “the way,” life’s purpose; memorization can make a student stride off that path of achieving life’s meaning. When students are “learning a mass of jumbled facts” they partake in “blindly following” others. As a result this, leads to a lack of creativity and ingenuity. Memorization is an ineffective method since “you may study to the end of your days and you will never be anything but a vulgar pedant (Tzu 12).”…

I learned the importance of knowing students names and the importance of not ignoring the little things. I also learned that it is okay to tell students their work is not good enough and that having high expectations for students will help them grow as learners.
