In 1999, the Ministry of Education unveiled what was supposed to be a glowing and innovative advancement in Ontario’s education system. The new policy, Ontario Secondary Schools, Grades 9–12: Program and Diploma Requirement, was meant to update the previous three track system into two streams, Academic and Applied, to keep “options open for all students” so that “students are not required to make binding decisions about a particular educational and career path” . According to the policy, under the
I woke up early that particular morning of the first day of my sixth-grade school year. I had gotten close to a full night’s rest that night with 7 hours of sleep. It was a brisk morning when I arrived to the front doors of the school. It had been the first time in two years since I had set foot in a school building. I had had been so anxious to where my anxiety actually converted into excitement and eagerness. I got to my homeroom where I saw new kids that were clean-cut and normal. I sat at the
anniversary, yet among the other days it felt different. It felt as if something important was going to occur. As if my mother also sensed the change atmosphere, she prayed three times instead of her usual routine of praying once a day. It appeared my father and my little sister didn 't feel it, as they carried on with their normal routine of getting ready. I eventually forgot about the strange feeling and continued to get ready. My father said he was going to work, so as usual my sister and I ran out the
Wake up; it’s the first day of school. I woke up to my aunt and mom standing at the end of my bed. I thought to myself, wow already in fifth grade, it has come so fast then I opened my eyes when I realized my aunt was talking to me. Why would my aunt be here just for the first day of school? She would never be at my house this early in the morning, especially just to wake me to say happy first day if school. There was something else, but they weren’t telling me what. Then, my mom said Allison your
Physical Education In Secondary Schools My philosophy of physical education in the secondary setting deals with students becoming physically fit. Also that students learn how to communicate with others, especially in a team setting. My philosophy also holds in it different teaching methods. Methods that physical education teachers can use to get the most out of their students. With this philosophy of physical education I plan to use it toward becoming a good teacher. The major reason for having
remember the day I moved into my house. I remember walking in and inhaling the fresh smell of cinnamon potpourri from the moment I entered. Dancing across my nose, the smell of cinnamon made me feel at home; it reminded me of the times I would bake apple pie with my sister at my old house. The sweet yet spicy fragrance gave me a sense of safety and comfort even though I was in a completely different territory. Not long after, I had started a new elementary school. On my second first day as a third
Sally begins her first day of freshman year at a new school. It was her first year going into high school and she had no idea what to expect. Sally was so intimidated by all the students that attended the school and how large it actually was. Each of her classes were packed with students, at least 20 in each class. After the bell rang, that’s when the chaos began. Every student would practically run out of their class to the next, hundreds of students in the halls, frantically looking for their next
Student first-day of school questionnaire ': “What are your career goals?” A question I was deliberately asked. During elementary school, middle school, high school and even during my undergraduate career somehow, I managed to come across that question every time. My answer was consistent, “To become a medical doctor.” I was always interested in the medical field. Since I was a child, the woman or man in the white coat always held my highest respect. I have to greatly admire and respect their dedication
IV My First Day of High School “Beep, Beep, Beep!” 6:00 A.M my alarm clock was activated, it was time for me to get ready and prepared myself for my first day of High School as a freshman student in Piscataway Vo – Tech High School. Fear, excitement, and all of these different emotions were running through my head as I wondered how difficult high school would be, who I would sit with at lunch time or if I would be able to memorize my locker combination. My first day of high school as a freshman
planned to hunt every day that I possibly could to try and get one more shot at the deer I had missed the previous year. Finally, hunting season arrived and the day came when the bucks started to come out. I had patiently waited all summer and now it was the time to strike. Having the opportunity to spend quality time with my Father, learn the importance of patience and persistence, and be rewarded with the chance to harvest the buck of a lifetime made this one of happiest days of my entire life. That
has to be taking the first semester of nursing school at Auburn University at Montgomery. In the pathopharmacology classes and clinics, I would be learning knowledge of heath and illness, and nursing in general. These classes will teach the basic concepts of nursing. Once those classes are obtained, I am able to advance through more complex material. Upon graduating like stated before each nurse has to become licensed by taking the NCLEX-RN Test. I would like to practice my degree in a hospital
Imagine: it is your first day at a new school. You feel anxious- you do not know anyone or where your classes are. All you can concentrate on are your previous friendships and school. You continue to focus on getting to the end of your school day. Why? Practice. Or, maybe you are going to attend a meeting for a club or activity. This extracurricular is the first time you feel you can actually enjoy your time in this new environment. You know that, within this activity, you have the opportunity to
in primary schools is extensive and “more than should be reasonably expected of primary teachers.” Nevertheless, to manage this comprehensive programme of study, there suggests a need for primary school teachers to ensure they have the required subject knowledge, particularly in light of Ofsted research which highlighted that “specific weaknesses in teachers’ subject knowledge,” meant that pupils’ achievement was not at expected levels, Ofsted (2007, p.4). This research has influenced my approach to
you hear that?” I asked my older brother. “Go to sleep, it’s one in the morning!” Mark said. I closed my eyes but lied there perfectly still listening for the sound again. I didn’t hear it, but I fell asleep trying to listen for it. The sun woke me up shining on my face from my window because we haven’t put up any curtains in our room yet. We have a lot of other things we have to do on the house since we just moved in. I get out of bed and Mark is still snoring, so I grab my pillow and him in the back
The first day of kindergarten will always be an everlasting memory to me because it brought up my biggest challenge in life learning to read. Learning to read was a struggle for both Fredrick Douglass and I due to inconsistent teachers, challenges which sparked motivation, and effects on our future because we had to teach ourselves the fundamental of reading. It is difficult to learn to read and when you have inconsistent teachers. This adds an additional obstacle. Although I was not a slave, the
Tell what you knew: My first day of high school seemed like the beginning of the end to me. I wasn’t really that popular, I didn’t really have the last name to fit in with the town of Marathon, and many other reason to be afraid of what might happen to me based on what I heard from others and just the plain fears. Most of my freshman year was just me trying to stay out of people 's way, with everything that has happened to me it seemed like every day was a battle to not get my head in the wrong spot
So the first school I looked into was a Riverview Junior High School, this school is part of the Murray School District. The website for this school was very basic, which I think is much better than having too many things that can overwhelm people with too much information. It is a clean look and makes it easy for parents who are looking to find out information. One thing that I really liked that I found was that the school offers what’s called plus time. Plus time is a 25 minute block of time built
was 5:30 am when morning August 2008. It was the first day of my high school career at one of the privet schools in Saudi Arabia that my uncle was the head-of. I was excited because my best friend Mishari joined the same school. As though, I knew it would be a tougher year studying with him, but it does not matter today. What mattered was that my brothers and I got ready for school. I walked to the school, which was roughly 15 minutes from home. My teachers were smiling to their students all the time
1. On the first day of class, the Prof Khan gave us write a diagnostic essay to see where we stood from a writing point. Next, we gave all gave a small introduction of ourselves. Furthermore, we had a small debate about Donald Trump. In the debate we questioned Trump’s motives while running for president. After the discussing about Trump, Prof Khan gave us a sheet on “Thinking and Writing”. On that sheet it had this written on it “How to say something worth saying about something worth saying
First Day of School in America I face challenges everyday in my life. My family and I moved from Cuba in July 2011, two weeks before I was supposed to start High School. We moved here because of my dad’s work, he is a pediatrician and he had better opportunities here. My mom wasn’t sure about moving here, she didn’t want to leave our country, our house and her parents, and I just didn’t care about it, since I was too little to think that going to another country was going to make a really big difference
fear more than any other, and that is surgery to fix any torn ligaments in your knee. My freshman year of high school, I was the unlucky soul that suffered a torn ACL and Meniscus in my left knee. To this day I’m still not sure how it really happened, but it has definitely impacted my life. It all started on a Friday morning. I was going through my day at school, nothing out of the ordinary. I went through all my classes and had basketball practice later. We were running through some of our contact
The sound of my alarm awakened me from a deep coma. Today was the first day of not just any day but the first day of high school. All I could think about was the empowering, negative stories about high school being so repulsive with all the strict teachers, the really difficult tests, and being at the bottom of the food chain once again. “I pray to God that these stories are irrelevant to high school, I implored.” The car ride to Grayson High School was longer than I intended. When I got out of the
” says Ms. Garth on the first day of school. Being only a Junior in High School, I wanted to drop out then. The only thing going through my mind was, “Is this woman crazy?” At the time, I did not believe I would be able to write a paper with 300 words nevertheless 2000. I had never written a paper before. Even Though I was stressed out 95% of the time, I learned that just as I had strengths in writing, I also had weaknesses. My strengths were knowing my audience, getting my assignments done when needed
In 1999, my mom and I moved to the States from Jamaica to live with her mother in Baltimore, Maryland. Since, Jamaica is an English speaking country I did not have a problem understanding the language spoken in the States. However, I had problems with Americans understanding me. Even though, I spoke English as a Jamaican, I also spoke with a dialect called Patwa. Patwa is known as broken English. Jamaicans will use sentences into their individual words, for example Jamaicans will say “Frah wha”
Bank Experience) My first experience with selecting my current bank draws back to my first day at university. I created an account, on paper, at a tent during the welcome week celebration. The experience was quite rushed and informal. I had numerous questions and concerns. I have never had to deal with my own finances before, and I was quite nervous. However even though the rushed process, the bank was quite accredited and well-known so I didn 't mind and felt safe inputting my personal information
The students walks into school Monday, preparing their minds for the upcoming school week. They walk into their first hour, dreading the sight of the clock as they think to themselves, “If only it was a Saturday! Then I would still be in bed!” As hour after hour of school passes, going through first, second, third, then fourth hour, this student is becoming fatigued. Then it hits them. It knocks them on the ground. There, on the board of their fifth hour class, lies the words in big bold letters
Autobiography My first day of school, I was the happiest kid on planet earth first of all, because I was no longer staying at home, I was wearing a uniform and I had my first “Jansport” backpack. I remember it was black with many zippers. I also remember when I was bored at home I always opened my notebooks to see all the great work I’d done. First grade wasn’t my favorite class because I didn’t knew anyone. So in second grade, I met a cute Palestinian-like kid called Amit who from that day he became
“To be a human is an amazing feat of both the universe, and to most, God” The opening line that I used on the first day of class for what would become part one of the analytical paper. Having learned abundant amounts of new information over the last three and a half months, my original idea on what it means to be human still feels correct. The three majors themes throughout the semester have been how ideas can change over time, the role of technological advancements in change, and how humans have
six years old. I was still in foster care. I was mad at the world and I wanted to go home to my mom and dad. I wanted to live a normal life like every other kid I knew. I don 't remember the first day of school. I do remember that I went to an elementary school called Biddle in Detroit Michigan. I didn 't have a problem finding friends at all. I was a go-getter. I remember having a friend name Gordon. My early childhood life I was living with Mrs. Rodgers then I got moved to another family by the
On the first day of Kindergarten, I remember how my mother held my hand. I remember how, before she kissed me goodbye, she whispered into my ear, “tienes que ser la mejor,” you have to be the best. I was born into a family of hardworking immigrants in a city only an hour away from the Mexican-American border. My parents, worried about the quality of education in the low-income neighborhood that we lived in, had toured schools until they found one that satisfied their expectations. As immigrants
experiences that first love who makes their heart fill with butterflies something that we never want to fade. Love can come with a heap of pain as well. It can make us feel like we are trapped and could never escape the pain. My first love came with a lot of pain more than I ever thought I could endure. It was my junior year in high school and at that time I was sixteen and I thought that I would not be the person to date during high school. The first time I had met him was at lunch and my friend Gabbie
On my first day of college, I was incredibly nervous about multiple obstacles I was about to face. One of my biggest worries was how I would manage to pass a college English class. However, when I walked into the classroom and saw my old high school classmates Jace and Lauren, I became a bit more comfortable. I was also relieved to discover that the class was very small, unlike my prior belief the teacher was not scary at all. In my early high school years, English class was quite easy for me
When thinking of the course of an average school day for elementary students one envisions a day spent working through the four major academic cores, in order to achieve a balanced education. Thus has been the experience of generations of school age children since the dawn of public education in America. A new era has arisen that has challenged, if not overthrown, traditional education dogma; a sole focus on English and Mathematics in the Elementary School setting. Science and Social Studies have
Everyone hears music in some way, shape, or form every day. Many people do not realize it, but music affects our thinking process and overall mood. Going to a school where music is neither taught nor allowed would be extremely different than what we are personally used to. Approximately seventy percent of children learn to play a musical instrument during their school career, and roughly twenty percent of adults surveyed said that they wished they had learned to play an instrument when they were
First Amendment Rights in Schools Students’ rights in schools are limited or just taken away. Students are forced to do whatever the officials at their school, by either the principal or the teachers, tell the students to do. One of the main right that gets taken away or limited is the students’ first amendment rights, which is the freedom of expression. Students can get suspended by just doing things the staff at the school does not like, including saying things that they don 't like
So far, from this class. I’ve learned a lot. I know that’s a very broad statement but honestly, we talked a lot in this class. When I enter the door for my first day of school the first thing we talked about was Syria. I didn’t know what Syria was or that it was a country. I didn’t really pay attention to international things because I was thought, “the UN got this” The only country I paid attention to internationally was Ecuador really. But I really didn’t get an inserted into the international
awkwardness and embarrassment, and my mind went totally blank. There, like a terrible dream I never thought would come to pass, as time went by like a broken hourglass. I stared, as if I had seen the future through my eyes, as the teacher stared right back at me with her look of despise. She knew deep inside that I was unaware of her dialogue, yet she simply waited in silence for my response. Words began to spiral in my head as I searched for the one phrase that would satisfy my instructor. I threw a quick
My first real interview was in high school, and it’s also the most unforgettable interview I’ve ever had. My AP language art told me about this summer camp, and how they pay you to be a counselor for the entire summer, so my friends and I decided to apply. The director of the camp called us, and we all put our interview slots for Sunday at different times, so we can all drive to the Camp together. When Sunday finally came, I was nervous. This was the first time I was going to be interview for a job

The following Student Handbook will provide information about the various programs, classes, activities, school policies, and many other topics. Please read the information carefully with your student and if you have any questions, feel free to contact the school. The staff at Eagle Summit provides an environment of safety, respect, and accountability while students prepare to improve the quality of life in world communities
In the summer of 2003, excitement was in the air. It was our first school trip across our state. After a year of ups and downs filled with rewards and regrets, it was time to give something back to the community. As the school bell rang to mark the last day of 9th grade, we rushed home, retrieved our bags, and headed out for the trip. After arriving at dawn, we divided into groups and set about exploring the villages on foot. We held signs, persuaded people to accept handouts, and attempted to spread
Evidenced by U.S. elementary and secondary school curricula, students are introduced to the scientific method – the way in which we ask and answer questions about the world around us. Through the scientific method, one must develop a hypothesis, conduct experiments, make observations, and repeat as necessary until a legitimate statement is reached. As a child, I considered myself a future scientist. I was invigorated by the rather immediate and concrete findings of hands-on experiments, but had little
As a child I always struggled in the areas reading and writing. I was in the first grade when I came face to face with the issue. I wasn’t prepared like the other kids were in my class, they all seemed to thrive more and more each day the subject. I didn’t, nothing the teacher was doing with the subject didn’t stick with me nor make me understand better. I felt out of place and different form everyone else because I couldn’t do what seemed to be easy to the rest of them. Struggling wasn’t an option
has always been a sort of ambient flavor in my life, whether I picked up on it at the time or not. The area I lived in had a fairly large jewish minority. The grocery store where I got my first job had an in-store kosher bakery, and for passover an entire 2 aisles and several endcaps were converted into KLP items of every sort. There was a kosher butcher, bakery, a judaica store, a “kosher style” deli (which did offer bacon though) - my elementary school was across the street from and dwarfed by
“First Day of School in College” The first year of college can be a new and exciting to many students. Students can also take on new experience in their first year college. College can also come with challenges along the way. Students must try to find a way to balance their new college life, and transactions. Students go through difficult transactions like adjusting to their new environment, trying to make new friends and some many have academic difficulties. Adapting to an unfamiliar environment
The First Day of High School April 13, 2009 was just another ordinary day to everyone, but for me it was a very special day, because it was my first day in Crawford High School and the very first school I have ever attended since I came to United States. I vividly remember that morning, I woke up at 5:30 am, and I’ve never been so happy and excited since I came here. After I ate my breakfast and got ready for school, I asked my parents to walk me to school. I was finally on my way to school; I took
It’s the last day of the school year! The kids and teachers could not be happier! It’s the begging of the summer of “1991” the best decade people say, the 90s. I lived in San Jose ca. You did it, you graduated kindergarten! Moving on up too first grade. It was time to celebrate. Mom and dad say; let’s go to Red Lobster. Sitting outside on the wooden benches, waiting for the table to be ready. That’s by the big lobster tank. The lobsters swimming around in it just waiting for the next person to come
The first week of middle school, I made a life changing mistake. It leads me to a very powerful skill I did not even know I had. Sitting in the lunch room I had not been paying attention to who was around me this was to be a very poor decision. Had I been paying attention I would have seen the new kid, Dalton Adams walking by me; preventing the following situation. Up go my arms I feel something make contact with my arm. My head begins to turn trying to figure out what I have hit and to my great
would be a solution for any school to change the way they organize their school day. It can change in the classes offered to select students, or include the extra-curricular activities that they will offer. They also will vary in the ways that they will schedule a school day. For example, they are able to choose the start and end times of the days, the time for each class periods, or they might even suggest a staggered schedule where you may take a class every other day. In choosing the type of scheduling
The first day of the semester when I logged into Organizational Behaviors I was extremely nervous. This course was one of my first online courses which I would could have two of this semester. I logged in having no clue what or who to expect. It was much relief when I saw and organized road map of the semester and everything we would be completed in the announcements sections. Now as the semester comes to an end I was happy to see the course stick to this schedule with no interruptions or surprises
up, I was always one of those kids who loved going to school. I loved being able to spend time with my friends and learning new things. One factor that I believe greatly contributed to my enjoyment of school was that I got very lucky in regards to the teachers I had and schools I attended. While there were some pitfalls that I faced in my schooling experience, the majority of my experiences were good ones. The schools I attended were schools that had many resources and teachers who really cared
