Desks

Kaufman’s favorite student always stayed back and ate lunch with her. And that’s when “McKenzie” decided to put her dog into my desk. When lunch was over Avery and I and a couple of our other friends were always the last one’s back to the classroom because I was just a little social butterfly. As I was walking into the classroom McKenzie was leaving, and she gave me this little…

classroom where I completed my first student teaching experience was set up with rows of desks facing the front board. In each row, two student desks were touching. Having all desks forward-facing is the best arrangement for teacher-centered, direct instruction, and the two student desks together worked well for two students working as partners. However, when cooperative groups of more than two were formed, desks and/or chairs had to be rearranged to…

with a receding hairline . A black plaque with gold lettering that reads “Judge Emery” adorns his bulky wooden desk. Stacks of legal adoption forms are piled in their designated place in the center of the desk. Two stuffed monkeys rest in juxtaposition their left. Their shaggy plump, plush bodies and goofy expressions make the formal event seem…

classroom. Her speed increased a little each time she crossed from window to door to window. By the time she shouted, “One more minute,” she had reached a full gallop, and was whipping her yardstick mercilessly when anyone lifted their eyes off their desk. A slender black woman with frosted hair in her early fifties, she was a no-nonsense kind of teacher. Very tough. It didn't bother Jake that she'd been in his dreams the last few nights or that it was always the same dream. But what he…

slivers of light that peeps through. A dancing hula girl sways to and fro on top of the disorder splayed out in disarray over his simple desk. It is a solar powered hula girl, but how can it work with barely any light in the room? Glimpses of some grunge writing splatter under the chaos on his desk. The writing reads: "redruM." However, there is so much stuff on the desk…

to the hotel guests. With good observation, the front office staff can know the guests’ emotions and what they really want and need at that moment. Take the front desk staff as an example, in the summer with hot weather, the guests are sweating when they carry their luggage to the hotel for checking in. It is thoughtful for the front desk staff to provide the water and tissue paper for them during the waiting for the check-in process. The guests may not expect that the hotel staff can observe…

Eckels's fear was part of the problem. Eckels fear of the past almost didn't let him experience the time of a lifetime. Before they went on the adventurous hunting trip Eckels almost backed out by getting his check back from the guides. On the way to the past, Eckels swayed in his chair. On the first hunting experience, he clutched his rifle tightly and wimped out on taking the first shot at the T-Rex. His fear lead him to not follow directions which caused him to change the future. Due to…

For my 4th observation I went into a 2nd grade classroom at Nazareth School District’s Shafer Elementary School. I had arrived around 7:45 a.m. just as the students themselves were arriving. Mrs. Sysko was the teacher in the classroom during my observation and was outstanding with the children. She used technology, such as a smart TV when going over past work and future work they would do that day. The students were able to interact using the technology on the ipad, which made it seem easier for…

In the movie Dead Poets society, Neil Perry, the protagonist, battles to separate from others by being a leader and joining the play even though his father was so resilient of him in doing so. At the end of the movie Neil commits suicide because he he did not want to be tied down to follow his father's dreams of becoming a doctor. The one man who influenced so many people like Neil to follow their own path was Mr. Keating through the dead poets society club. In the dead poets society club, boys…

going to be like. I really wanted one who was really funny, laid back, but still serious. When I walked in, I gave a quick scan of the room and saw no one; I guess I was the first one. But then I looked in the corner of a desk, a dull mousy haired woman was at the teachers desk, but she was cowering towards the corner as if she was afraid of everything around her. I didn’t know what I felt about her. I looked at my schedule and read “English - Period 5 - Mrs. Martin.” “Hey Mrs. Martin, I’m Pipi…
