    It is still early in the year, and a lot of the student data has not been calculated yet, but from what I have observed, there is one student who is very new to English and is in ELL. Based on this fact an instructional strategy I would use is checking for understanding and questioning, a student who is new to English may have a hard time understanding what is happening, and may not ask for help. With this, if they do not ask for help, and the teacher does not check if they understand, the student will not do very well with assignments, and will not further their learning. An activity that can be used with this student is during reading, they have a more one-on-one learning environment, and have a list of simple questions, like who is in the story, where are they, and what is happening on this page, this will check if the student is understanding the story, as well as help them to answer these questions even when they do not have the paper.…

    Over winter break, I had the opportunity to work as a substitute preschool teacher at the Jewish Community Center of Columbus Ohio. I was placed in the Turtle Room, the classroom for two to three year olds. Since a large part of the student population is Jewish, the preschool cafeteria only provided Kosher foods. I distinctly remember one day talking to the lead teacher in the classroom, Amanda about how one little boy, Henry would never eat his lunch or snacks. Henry would stick to only the foods that he knew like mandarin oranges or carrots and that was all he would eat.…
