Who has the authority to speak about poverty? Poverty has been an ongoing crisis in the United States. Many essays and articles are written on the topic by “sociologists and academics, individuals far removed from the realities that define the lives of the poor” (88). Jo Goodwin Parker bridges that gap with her essay “What Is Poverty?” which was originally published in the anthology America’s Other Children: Public Schools Outside Suburbia. The anthology’s intended audience were teachers and…

will sort objects by sizes. They will understand about sameness and difference in various aspects of life. 4. Language development: Initially they start use pitch and tone.

credit is displayed next to a grand piano. The idea of connecting technical credits with related images was often used during the sixties, most famously in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) where author Harper Lee’s credit appears over one an image of a crayon and pen nib, while the musician’s name is placed alongside a tin…

them back for their future. Another example of how raising expectations will help students achieve happened with my grade four/five class. We had them do some writing about their science experiment and some submitted work written in pen, marker, or crayon. Some did not feel that they should follow the lines, and some felt no need to write anything worth reading. After receiving this unacceptable work we decided that we needed to have a checklist for students to follow when…

Preschool Health History Observing healthy children at Crossroads Preschool was a thrilling and eye opening experience. In the four-year-old classroom with Mrs. Birch, there was quite an array of physical, mental, and social developments. The healthy child that I observed did not show any behaviors that were out of the ordinary for a four-year-old girl. I thought she was quite advanced for her age. I arrived to the classroom as they were about to start reviewing their daily schedule,…

Once you experience something of such great significance, it is hard to let that go and move on. This universal theme can be seen in both the song “Want You Back” by 5 Seconds of Summer, and the short story, “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. In “Want You Back” the band sings about a girl whom they have left and will always want back. In “All Summer in a Day” the author tells about about students on Venus, who are in the absence of the sun and are grieving the loss of it too. In both of…

Ode to ‘I’ My realization of the complexity of my confidence is as simple as the infinite numbers of actions and processes that take place in a person’s body when he lifts his leg to move from one step of a staircase to the next. Moving up an extra step may even take twice the effort. The issue that then arises is that infinity doubled is still infinity, leading me right back to where I began. Then how, may I ask, am I to skip not just a single step of a stair case but the step of an entire…

It was towards the end of summer, all of the stores began to fill with school supplies and the aroma of brand new pencils and crayons filled your nose as you walked In. The end of summer gives me mixed emotions, I'm excited to begin school shopping but I'm also sad to start the school year. Kids my age always get the same questions this time of year, “are you ready to start the school year” or “have you began to think about what college you'd like to go to”. But this year when these questions…

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” However, in Woody Allen’s, “The Rejection,” the writer satirizes the ideals of the education system that acknowledges only the intelligent students. This is seen in the character of Boris through his exaggerated reaction towards the failure of his son. During the time of Woody Allen, he believed that education was only for the smart and intelligent people. Woody Allen satirizes the education…

I knew I would be sad forever, but that had changed when my mother told me someone was moving in next door and they had a kid my age. The summer was almost over and school was starting next week. The kid who lived next door had to move away when his father got a new job far away. I hope he has a tree in his new house. The one our fathers help us build in my backyard was nearly finished. All that was left was to put hedges on the swinging trap door in the floor. It made sense that we could not…
