We saw the National Space and air Museum. It maintains the largest collection of history air and spacecraft in the world. We really liked it. We also saw the Lincoln Memorial, which was located at the west end of the National Mall. From the top of the stairs, in the front of the memorial, you have a great view of the Washington Monument at the U.S. Capitol. We read the inscription behind the statue of Lincoln that says, “In this…
they want French fries and hamburgers. Obesity is a very large and rapidly growing problem in our nation. It starts out when you are young but most people still struggle with it when they are older. Childhood obesity is the beginning of obesity so we need to control it at a young age. “What a horrible place we've come to in this country. We're in the throes of an obesity crisis, and diet-related illness is on the rise. The CDC has stated that of children born in the year 2000-- those…
on a book they were reading in class. When I observed John, I was directed to ask answer a serious of questions such as: “Which way do we read?” “Where do we start reading?” The student I observed could tell me that when reading we read left to right. John proved this by pointing to the location where we start reading at the beginning of the sentence, and where we end at. John explained this by describing the importance of periods, and question mark. John stated that he knew a period, which…
School classrooms in America are beginning to become more and more diverse, teachers are challenged to provide a beneficial education for students with ethnicities, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds that are different from their own (Cooper, 2011). “Students of color now constitute approximately 40 percent of all students enrolled in public schools, and this population is expected to grow considerably in the coming years” (Cooper, 2011, p. 189). Through this process teachers do not want to…
Are There Any Benefits To Mainstreaming? The idea of mainstreaming children or having an inclusive learning environment has been around for many years. “Inclusion is defined as providing specially designed instruction and support for students with special needs in the context of regular education settings.” (Lindsay) This just means that all students have the same equal opportunity in the traditional educational setting. Children with disabilities have been placed in a separate setting than…
Best Teacher Practices Love and Logic. Fay and Funk (2010) created an excellent philosophy for any teacher or parent to use with children. It allows the adult to show they are in control while still giving the student opportunities to be in control. A child is presented with two or three options when it is okay for the child to choose. The teacher may ask “Would you like to do your math facts at your desk or at the back table?” This allows the child to feel in control by choosing, but they are…
By remaining silent and not telling others what is happening in our homes we enable the abusers to continue with the abuse. We have to break the silence and expose those who seek to keep us bound in fear and dread. At the end of the day, every woman who is killed, injured or harmed through domestic violence is someone’s daughter(Tina’s Story). Domestic…
It is sad that I can probably count the number of times I have been to recess on my hands because I was always in the office for fighting. Eventually the principal made it mandatory that I see the school counselor once a week or they would get my mother involved in possibly suspend me. With many sessions with the school counselor…
have too many friends because I did not seek out people in the first place. The only thing I needed was my small circle and we could conquer the world together. Friendship is something that everyone needs, no matter who they are. We trust our friends with our deepest secrets and we rely on them during our toughest times. We love our friends. Perhaps too much, and sometimes we look past their misdeeds. Some of us still take them back after they hurt us deeply. At that point, it becomes a…
