This semester, I enrolled in Early Childhood Education 350 (ECE) at Consumes River College, which transfers over to Sacramento State as Child Development 35F. ECE 350 is a course that incorporates lecture and fielded experience at a school site. I was a student volunteer at John Reith Elementary school for an AM and PM kindergarten class. Ms. Moua is the morning instructor, and this is her first year at John Reith and Ms. Din is the afternoon instructor and is a veteran at John Reith. John Reith is a titled one school, meaning the majority of the students receive free or reduced lunch. The school is gated and the only way to enter is through the office, which protects the staff and students from any intruders.…
The students who are nervous and anxious. Sherwood Middle School had 50 new Students from a different middle school. Lastly the students who are excited to see all of their friends, and see their new teachers. Students had many mixed emotions about the first day.…
The secretary was calling teachers and asking if Leah and I could observe and the first few teachers said “no.” they mentioned that they were not ready for an observation. It was confusing because the secretary told the teachers that we were intern, then practicum students and finally just observers. While we were waiting I was able to observe that there was one teacher close to the main door entrance. She was greeting everyone that walked through the doors with a “good morning” and a smile.…
Locked In! Elie Wiesel’s work, Night, published in 1958, demonstrates the struggles Jewish society and other minorities faced in order to live a life of liberty. I, myself, felt bound and trapped, not by iron doors, but by words. Although being open and outgoing can help communication growth, rudeness and unnecessary judgement can hinder one’s ability to socialize and express themselves.…
1. What were the gaps, if any, between what you were trying to accomplish and what actually happened? First, you had all the rights to feel confused and annoyed. I would’ve felt the same exact way.…
It was a beautiful day, a cloudless enjoyable day in a small town called Charlestown. I had just moved here less than a week ago. This place was so much different than any where i had just moved from. It felt like it would take a lot of time getting used being in a new place like this. Before i moved to Charlestown i lived in the beautiful city of Louisville, Ky.…
I was so proud of who I was back then. I proudly called myself a Mexican-American. I don’t know anymore. I would call myself a Mexican-American such as I did back then, but I can’t. It’s not an answer that is accepted by anyone.…
I completed my 3-week professional experience at Fredrick Irwin Anglican high school and I am so happy with how it went; I can honestly say that at the end of each day I was there I was always looking forward to returning the following day. Before prac, I was uncertain about continuing my studies as a secondary educator, now I am excited and confident in saying that that I can see myself as a teacher in the future and have my own class of students. I set myself on goal during the three weeks, which was to stand and talk confidently, which in my opinion I accomplished. In the end, I could stand and look from the front of my class, not say a word and get complete silenced from students, Rust my mentor said he was very impressed with it being…
In my short life of fourteen years, nothing major or very noteworthy has happened. I don’t have a story yet. So, instead of telling you about little parts of my little life, I’ll tell you about the whole epilogue in my Novel of Life. First thing first, I was brought into this wonderful world on December 18, 2001, in Westerville, Ohio. Obviously, I don’t remember this, but apparently I was a bit of a fussy baby.…
Field Experience Paper In the school district, that I am interning for this semester, no longer does FCAT or FAIR testing. Instead, they have replaced the test which is now called FSA. FSA is the same test as FCAT and FAIR test. The only difference is that the questions have been worded differently according to some of the teachers here that I work with.…
With a smile, I indicated to her that I was fine and she nodded back to me. I looked back at the teacher and she introduced herself politely. She said “My name is Miss Cono and I will be your teacher.” As soon as Miss Cono said that, I knew everything would be…
I have never been good with kids. I find them extremely adorable, but I just didn't have the qualities to work well with them, especially if they started crying, I would panic. Just this year, from mid-April to mid-May, I volunteered for Junior Achievement. My professor had a speaker come in to talk about Junior Achievement. We filled out a sheet with our name, city, and if we were to take this opportunity, which grade level would we like to volunteer for.…
Walking into school on my first day I was blown away. I remember walking into the front doors and there were hundreds of people. I almost felt as if i had never seen so many people in one space. I hustled to my first class and saw a few people I knew hardly. I walk into my class and everyone turns around and just stares at me.…
First of all, I’d like to begin by saying that this practicum experience has been an amazing opportunity and I’ve learned so much through observation, as well as, working hands-on with the students and the teachers. I had the pleasure of getting to work with two amazing teachers at Iron Springs elementary school, a first grade teacher (Mrs. Prince) and a third grade teacher (Ms. Barnhurst). This was a great learning opportunity to compare my two experiences working with different grade levels; I got to see the differences in the children, classroom management, activities, etc. I’d also like to point out that I spent almost double the time with the first grade class than with the third grade class, which had a lot of influence on what I saw and did in each class. My responsibilities within in each class…
