Essay on Games We Play at Recess

First off we must look at the whole picture, what is causing children to be so inactive? Technology is playing a significant part in this problem. Children would rather sit on a device then go for a bike ride or play some soccer. I would want to try to incorporate children’s devices that they seem to adore with physical activity. I would hold an event each week…

It is also a useful means of entertainment and physical activity for them. Sports and games are the ways of enhancing the children’s mental and physical growth.

the teacher must respect their students. If the teacher doesn’t respect their students, they can’t expect the respect in return from the students. My seventh grade math teacher had no respect for our class and they had no respect for her. In return, we didn’t learn much in that class and spent most…

I left everything behind when I was nine. I restarted almost my entire life, just like a game where I could respawn. One thing I kept deep inside my heart were the memories. Each one specially stored in a spot. When some memories remain for a long time, I consider them treasures. The one special treasured memory of that last day would never fade. It was a wintery Saturday and the air chilled me to my toes. The thin blanket may have been fluffy but it certainly could not keep out the cold. Last…

couldn’t. I did this so when she has the conferences she can let the parents know if they need more help with this task. We did math today and the students learned about geometry. The teacher did a great job of relating it back to the world and how shapes are everywhere. The students then did two groups and one group worked with the teacher while the other group played math games. I felt the collaborative learning was a good idea and Ms. Thune stated it very wisely. She said, “Work with a…

principal’s office. During school recess, they were caught chasing a few 5-year-old boys and tackling them to the ground. When told to stop, the older boys continued their behavior. The principal asks them why they are tackling the younger boys. The boys reply, “It’s a game. We’re the Power Rangers and they are the bad guys.” When asked if the younger boys wanted to play the game, the older boys indignantly replied, “No, of course not. That’s not what the Power Rangers do! If we told them they…

with the parents of my students. I honestly believe that a united front with my parents will afford our students the best opportunity to be successful. I encourage parents to be active participants in the home/school dynamic, and remind them that we are both advocates for our students. My belief is that if you make yourself available to the parents and show them that they, along with their children, matter, they will, more times than not, buy into you and your approaches. Many of these…

stop for her first day of school. Rosie has always had a hard time at school making friends and thinks they all look and act the same. Her teachers were nice and her classes were small, still filled with privileged white girls and boys. For lunch and recess she sits under a tree by herself eating her peanut butter and jelly sandwich, munching on her carrot sticks and sipping on her apple juice. The bell rings and the kids line up to go back inside. Her next class was art, her favorite class, yet…

“Listen up people!” The coach strutted back and forth staring at each and every player. “Only 19 of you will make the team, so play your absolute hardest out there. In order to make the team all you have to do is score on me, one-on-one. Sounds easy right?” He pauses as his eyes land on the only girl. “Miss, what’s your name?” The girl stepped forward. “Olympia.” “Ok Olympia, let’s see what you can do.” With that the coach walked over to the goal and Olympia got ready with her ball. She…

Throughout this semester we have read many readings from the ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, to more modern ones like Descartes, and onto current era philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty and Gayle Salamon. One that I particularly took a liking to was Gayle Salamon. While we read many readings on phenomenology and differences in people, I was most able to connect with what Gayle Salamon wrote. I have personal experience with physical disabilities in which her topic is. Although…
