Context For my observation, I was in Mrs. Scott’s third grade classroom at Parkway Elementary School. The school has a good mix of students from all different backgrounds. Parkway Elementary is encouraging to its students and faculty. There are posters hanging up throughout the entire school of various accomplishments. The school also fosters a sense of community between the different grades. There is a program run through the guidance counselor that pairs an older student with a younger…

Third grade, a year most of us don't recall. A year too inadequate for our young brains to recollect every moment in great detail -- especially when far more memorable events exist in life. Remarkably, I remember a simple day in third grade during recess. Simpe for other, but vital for me. The playground -- a heaven for my friends and I. While at least at that time it seemed like a heaven. Miles filled of perfect green, swings, basketball courts and geodesic domes. An abundances of kids…

Uniforms in Schools Have you ever wanted to express yourself in a certain way and not been able to? Has your family ever complained about back to school shopping?

Uniforms should not be enforced in schools worldwide; they take away kid’s individuality, they aren’t comfortable or pleasing whatsoever and it’s just another big cost some families can’t afford to have.

completely confident in what I know enough to teach it to someone else. When I was in elementary school, I don’t remember having any dedicated time to social studies. The only times I really remember doing anything history related was on specific holidays. The teachers on those days would discuss what the holiday was and why we celebrated it, but I don’t remember anything much deeper than that.
