    I am applying for Farmville Education program because I think this is a wonderful opportunity to learn about secularism. I believe it is important to learn about racial prejudices that were commonplace in american society. I understand these prejudices were wrong but that they did shape American culture and society throughout the course of our nation's history. I think it is important to learn about these racial prejudices especially today, when our own president is publicly slandering specific ethnic groups and to learn by example a way to reasonably protest in a public manner and to develop a better sense of moral…

    I arrived at Easton School District’s Forks Elementary School at around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a few minutes before the children were let in for class, to observe a 4th grade classroom. The instructor for the class, Mrs. Powell met with me in the main office to walk me down to her classroom. The first thing I saw when walking into the classroom was all of the different learning tools around the room, Mrs. Powell's use of both chalkboards for different objectives was just one, along with open reading areas. The classroom was set up into different 4 person groups, in which the students were able to work together and collaborate. When I was getting settled into the classroom around 9:00 a.m., the students began to arrive officially starting…

    On Monday, during the third period, I observed a read-aloud lesson. After the teacher wrote the title of the book, she called the students over to the meeting area. Prior to the read aloud, the teacher set strict expectations for the students. For instance, the teacher advised the students that they had to remain seated “Criss-Crossed Applesauce” and raised their hands if they had a question or a comment about the reading. Otherwise, they had to sit calm and quiet.…

    Throughout my observation time spent at Reese Elementary, I have had the opportunity to observe two teachers, Mrs. Church, who is a second-grade teacher, and Mr. Dohrmann, who is a fifth-grade teacher. The teachers teach different grade levels and have very different teaching styles which lead to differences in classroom management and assessment, as well as, other categories. Even though there are many differences between Mrs. Church and Mr. Dohrmann they also have many similarities, such as the way they handle discipline and motivation. During my observation hours in both classrooms, I noticed the classroom management procedures that both teachers use. Both teachers have a class schedule they go by to keep the students and themselves on task throughout the day.…

    Erin Gruwell, a twenty-three year old, stepped into room 203 with wide eyes and wishful thinking for her first year ever as a teacher.

    In all of my time of attending Homedale Middle School, I have witnessed many groups of students more increasingly each year. I supposed that each year I become more aware and observant of the life around me--specifically, others’ lives. Some cliques I see only outside, playing football or staying far out into the fields. But others I see every day, chatting in class, eating together at lunch, or even rough-housing in the hallways between periods, which causes chaos for everyone else and blocks our path to class. Even though this is the case, it is easier to identify certain types of groups at lunch.…

    The participants each had a booklet in which they were instructed to turn pages only when told. Judging by the hairstyles and clothing, the video was created in the mid to late 1980’s. The desks were arranged in a U shape which positions the teacher in the front of the classroom, and all of the students behind a barrier of desks. This arrangement does not promote a classroom environment with a teacher that is approachable. The students consisted of a myriad of different backgrounds and ages from approximately 10 years to 65.…
