After teaching my two lessons on phonemic segmentation and observing the two students during whole class instruction I have drawn various conclusions on both the students strengths and weaknesses. Student A excels at being able to tap out sounds within a three sound word, as student B is able to tap out the individual sounds of words with 4-5 sounds in them. These activities however acted as review for the students being as they were exposed to these concepts in kindergarten. During whole class…
The location I live in is an area that lacks diversity. Throughout my schooling I have learned a great deal about learning with different cultures and remaining open and trying not to jump to conclusions that could potentially offend someone. However, we live somewhere where the culture is not rich. Most of the experience I have got working with other cultures has all came from professors and reading about other cultures. My location is one where there are many low-income individuals, and many…
knowledge of the six main elements involved in the reading process. It is fundamental for teachers to prepare their students to gain meaning from what they have read. The six main elements for reading development includes oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

HIV and Aids are known diseases, yet few people actually understand what they are. It is important to know the facts about HIV and Aids, so that one can understand how treatment works. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV is similar to many other viruses, like the virus that causes the “flu.” However, the body can fight against the virus that causes the “flu” but can’t fight against HIV. This is because HIV weakens the immune system by destroying T-cells or CD4 cells, which are…

It is amazing that Christian schools have high rates of STDs, pregnancies, and abortion but no one wants to talk about it, or better yet, find other ways than just saying “Be abstinent or celibate” to prevent them. There are other issues on campuses than retention rates, graduation rates, the teaching ability of faculty and staff, and others. I am not saying that those are not important, because they are. I am just saying that it is important we focus on the whole part of the campuses including…
