Clapping

relationship between instructor and student. She is always positive-toned, even when instructing expected behavior, as well continuously practicing positive reinforcement and support of all peers by reminding children to “celebrate” each others success by clapping and saying “yay!”. She also always addresses students by their name, generating a personal connection, and…

Odilia. All of the parishioners sung along loudly, something that I have very rarely seen at a mass. As the priest walked down the aisle, he began to clap along with the beat and the entire crowd joined him. The fast pace of the song and the audience clapping along made for a very festive atmosphere, something that I would not have expected from a church service, but I very much enjoyed. It made me wish that my church would adopt a more festive approach to music. Another song that was played…

Introduction Six years ago I probably would have said that an ideal productive classroom was one where all the students sat quietly in their chairs, whilst the teacher either walked around the room or sat at her own desk working. Specifically, during my graduate semesters I have really adapted and altered my ideal curricular design based on the research and experiences that have had a part exploring. There is so much more to a classroom of students beyond the surface. With every aspect from…

Break Point 3.1 I believe that I learned a lot about music through all three of the methods listed in the book. As it is common for most young people, I have mostly acquired my musical knowledge through formal means, in a "school" setting. I joined a choir in fifth grade in which our choir director taught us solfege, sight reading, and other musical skills. Since I started learning these when I was younger, I was able to retain them slowly and gradually until I became fairly good at using them…

It’s A Small World It’s the summer before my seventh birthday and I am invincible. It’s my first time at Disneyworld and everything is perfect. I am with my entire family, my sister, mother, and father. My heart flutters and I feel a surge of excitement. The ferry carrying us from the parking lot towards the magical kingdom is finally getting close to that iconic castle that I have seen so many times on TV. It is easy to forget we are riding a boat across a small lake that separates this…

Walking through the gym I heard “Bailey, come here!” with a confused look, I glanced up and it was coach Taylor, “Meet in my office!” she yelled. Rushing as quickly as I could, my mind began wondering in a million desperate directions. I was beginning to think what I had done the past few weeks, hoping I was remembering correctly because from what I knew I was in the clear. Being nervous and concerned as to what was fixing to happen, I made my way to her request. Walking in staring at the solid…

“Way to go girls! We are so proud of you!” the fans scream. ”I can not believe we are advancing to the championship!” shouted Shelby. As we are getting ready to play, my teammates and I are gritting our teeth. Kloey and I are so nervous, but we are excited to play too! I am warming up pitching for the big game and my heart is beating briskly. My pitches looked perfect coming into the game; I was ready! The umpire screams,”Head coaches!” Coach jogs up to the plate, and the game should start…

In this observation, there was 11 students in attendance broken down into 7 boys and 4 girls. Like my previous observation there was one teacher, one teacher aide and one junior field student. Since it was in the midst of playtime I noticed the environment was more lively and louder in volume than it was in my previous visit. As Ethan was playing in the block area he was the only one in this area. Grabbing blocks one by one, Ethan aligned the blocks in different zig zap paths. Instead of…

coordination, balance, gait and control of impulsivity. Since SPD causes delays in the relay time of messages, the IM system therapy uses rhythmic sounds and beeps that are heard via the headphones that the patient must attempt to mimic and synchronize by clapping their hands or tapping their foot. Each time the patient is out of sync with the program, he or she hears guiding sounds in their right or left…

I learned that white people aren’t the devil Spring,2016. Growing up I didn’t see many and not because I lived in a “poor- black” community. They were not seen as equal within my mind due to me recognizing black people as; doctors, lawyers, educators, and entrepreneurs. When I did see them I thought it was my duty to feel superior as my elders and ancestors once felt inferior. I attended a Pro- Black middle school that explained that I was made within the idea of our creator simply, because of…
