Crayon

I observed a 2nd grade classroom with 19 students. I choose to observe 2nd grade because I am opening to teaching in 2nd grade. I am interning in a kindergarten classroom, so I thought it would be interesting to see how a 2nd grade classroom was managed. I have not experienced 2nd grade before. 1. The students knew that the quiet signal was “class, class”. I didn’t know the quiet signal before observing, but all the students were taught the meaning of this quiet signal. 2. R.E.A.C.H poster:…

have of myself being in church was at four years of age. I was standing at the edge of the pew watching people walk by; not sure if it was the choir because I do not remember hearing music. I remember being in Sunday school at this age. I shared crayon with a boy, aged five who is now my husband. I remember playing Tag and Catch a Girl – Kiss a Girl with him in the church basement, walking to the candy store, changing into my choir robe and sleeping during every sermon. I can still see my dad’s…

that a classroom should have is the students work hung around the classroom. This encourages the students and it also makes them very proud of their hard work. The teacher must also make sure she has enough materials for all her students, such as, crayons, paper, pencils, reading books, textbooks, and any other materials needed for that…

Cell phones are used for many things all across the world, however they are very mind controlling and people don't realize how detrimental they can really be. Think back 20 years ago, when kids played outside until the street lights would come on and people actually took their time to engage in good conversations to form some type of human connection. We as people thrive on human connection and friendships. Sherry Turkle mentions in her article that “conversation is the most human and humanizing…

First of all, I’d like to begin by saying that this practicum experience has been an amazing opportunity and I’ve learned so much through observation, as well as, working hands-on with the students and the teachers. I had the pleasure of getting to work with two amazing teachers at Iron Springs elementary school, a first grade teacher (Mrs. Prince) and a third grade teacher (Ms. Barnhurst). This was a great learning opportunity to compare my two experiences working with different grade levels; I…

Picture this a classroom where students need to draw or paint on the back of used paper, where students had to melt used crayons to make new ones. Where teachers have to use their personal bank account to get art supplies. Though school districts cut the arts for financial stability, these school boards should better support art educators to find outside income and create school-sponsored fundraisers. The 21st century in America for art education came to resolving long conflicts with introducing…

Student strategy: Student A starts by drawing 11 circles, which is what I saw. When asked to explain what he did, he said that he first drew 2 circles and then 9 more. He then added them together by counting them all to get 11 pennies, which is the answer. When solving the problem, he adds them by counting from 1 to 11, and he seems to have drawn 2 circles and then 9 more, following the time sequence. However, I never saw him count 2, 9, and then all of them, I only saw him count 1 to 11.…

Cosmetics very quickly became known as the brand that filled the gap for women of colour. The strategy of the company first of all starts with the marketing game plan. Iman believes that first and foremost the marketing team has to be ethnically diverse and if it is then they will be able to strike a resounding chord with the different ethnic groups they are targeting. Next the marketing team is told to spend a lot of time on the streets and talk to real people about their beauty issues. This…
