Essay On Haunted House Meeting

Superior Essays
At the Boys and Girls club, I gathered many samples of conversation. It surprised me how mature some of the students seemed whenever I talked to them after the haunted house. One example of this was when I told a group of second or third grade girls that I was laying on the floor in the locker room. The response that I received was “You were not, do you know what is on that floor!

Most of my conversations were about what I was dressed up like and where I was in the haunted house.
Throughout the project I did not encounter as many problems as I thought I would. One of the main challenges was time. When I was planning out what events I was going to participate in, I had to look at my schedule to see which events I could do. I would have loved to work at Caze elementary as a teacher aide or help in the afternoon program, but with my work schedule and classes the times did not work out.
Another challenge I experienced was finding the locations. Since I am not from Evansville I am not familiar where places are. If I did not have the GPS I would have had a stressful experience. I am bad at using maps and I am really bad with directions, even when using a

In order to have a positive relationship with the family of your students, a teacher needs to communicate with them. The communication needs to be genuine, each party should be equal, and one side should not be superior of another. I believe that teachers and parents have issues with this, especially families that are from different backgrounds, religions, or structures. When a teacher is talking to a family, he or she should listen to what the parent is saying. The teacher should not have a comment ready or be thinking about what he or she is going to say while the parent is talking to

    As president of my high school's Key Club, it is my job to organize service activities for our members to volunteer in. One of these activities is the local haunted house sponsored by the Front Royal Little League.

Mr. Binnix discovered that the program wasn't making enough profits until his brother, Mr. Bobby Binnix, wanted to make a change, thus they proposed the idea of having an annual haunted house. Since the first year in 2012, the fundraiser has raised approximately $9,500.00.…

    When there is a communication or family issue, it is harder for the student to develop close relationships with teachers (50). This, again, reinforces the concept of maintaining a good relationship between the teachers, students, and parents to open up more academic opportunities and possibly result in higher academic achievement.

    What are some potential problems with a parent advocating for their child? One potential problem are that the family may want to you change what you are doing in the classroom with all the children in order to accommodate their child. The attitude of the family member may put them in opposition with the professional whose role is to advocate for the group rather than the individual child. Parents advocating for their child may make it hard for the teacher to understand the individual requests, and then to carry out the limitations.…

    There are three paradigms for how teachers should interact with students and their families. The first one is the separation paradigm which means that the parents give the responsibility of their child 's education to the school and makes the school responsible for their children’s results. I experienced this in my high school child development class with the preschool. There was a student who would act out in class and would never do his work so my teacher got in contact with his parents about this and blamed in on the schools program and my teacher. I do not agree with this one for the reason that it puts all the blame on the teacher and gives no responsibility to the parents.…
