(Lunenburg & Ornstein, 2012). Dependence is the paradigm of an individual to rely on others so much both emotionally and physically. No human being can survive alone from birth without the help others around them, for instance, in my public elementary school, us teachers we are obligated to aid the students in acquiring the most imperative knowledge and skills. For example, I often employ graffiti, which is my favorite cooperative learning activity. In the activity, I form six pieces of chart…

The Evolution of the “Cool” Kid In Elementary School, there was this one popular kid who was “cool” because he didn’t like to work and harassed people. He never put in much effort or excelled at anything in school, other than gym class. For the sake of confidentiality, let’s call this guy John Doe. John spent his elementary days goofing off and doing anything except for his school work. I remember the days of recess being some of the most fun I’ve had at school. All of the days outside seemed…

From as early as kindergarten, history has been taught to children in classrooms all across the world. In western civilization, specifically the United States, that history can often be construed, or biased in favor of those telling it. The issue with this is that the bias is often never mentioned, nor challenged, as students across all grades never really challenge what is taught in their classrooms. They don’t question that the people writing the textbook may have a political agenda, or that…

a little boy he lived in Somalia whit a poor family. He had a rough childhood, but said himself that it was a ‘comfortable life, not easy, but not hard either.’ When he moved to England, it had been a hard change for him. He had to begin at a new school and speak English to the teacher and the classmates. I think it had to be difficult to not know how to spike their languish and still manage to live a normal life in England. He also needed to live in other surroundings than usual. His brother…

My opinion of the video about Sirken Robinson, and his discussion about creativity and education was very relatable to me. I enjoyed the video, and I had thought it was quite inspiring to me. The most thing that was relatable to me was when Robinson was talking about the little girl was that was told she had, had a learning disorder because she was fidgeting and was not able to concentrate or being able to stay still, which was called “ADHD,” but in that case was not known in the 1930’s. The…

fair would come to my school, I would always have to buy a book. The school librarian knew my name by heart because I would always come and check out books. Reading has always and will always be my strength. Reading is my strong point because, in elementary school, my teachers focused more on reading than writing. We would have weekly readings and prizes whenever we finished a book. Also, we would have to take tests…

I first met Azariah through Ascension, the after-school enrichment program run by St. John’s Parish. It was created with the mission to provide emotional and academic support for the children who live in this neighborhood and attend one of Worcester’s lowest performing schools, Union Hill. Azariah’s bear hugs envelop me with love and excitement when she greets me each day that I spend volunteering to teach her reading and math skills and act as a big sister. Behind her smile and warm embrace is…

were both reading on our separate ends of the phone. I continued to encourage her and told her that I knew she could do it and began to develop a plan. Little did she know, determination struck within me to see her succeed. I was a sophomore in high school, while she was a junior and with that came specific obligations such as endless hours of reading whatever literary wonder her teacher's lesson plans demanded. Our first battle was the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. “He gave us two soap dolls, a…
