Elementary school

Journal #3(Elementary School) From the first punch to the final insult, elementary school was by far the worst experience of my life. I remember being physically assaulted all the way back in kindergarten, taking punches from two imbeciles named Anthony and Carmelo. The teacher never did anything to stop the bullying, all she would ever do is tell them they weren't being nice. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that no one would help me; after all, it's human nature to turn the other way when…

Each year as the school year draws to a close, teachers and administrators begin to discuss new plans of action to make improvements in weak areas for the upcoming year. Often times these plans for improvement are centered around creating a high quality learning environment with high quality teachers along with improved standards based instruction. In many elementary schools, students are taught in a self-contained single classroom from one teacher who is responsible for teaching all subject…

technique that is being tested is departmentalization in elementary schools. Departmentalizing is a model of teaching in which multiple teachers specialized in different subject will teach their subject of specialization to a class, instead of having one teacher teach different subjects in the class. Departmentalization has had a positive impact in our elementary schools by increasing test scores, transitioning students from elementary to middle school, and improving special education students…

Winchell Elementary School is located in the Kalamazoo school district. Michelle Jones has been a first grade teachers at Winchell for four years and has been teaching for a total of 24 years.

On Monday, November 9, 2015 I was allowed to observe a day with an elementary school Speech-Language Pathologist. Her name is Amy Hicks, MS CCC SLP. Amy can be reached by mail at 2750 S. Corral St., Humboldt, AZ 86329. Her contact phone number is (480) 518-6993. I felt that Amy would be a great person to observe. She grew up with a mother who was a SLP, and she spent time at NAU while earning her degree. I arrived at 8am to begin our day, and did not leave until the end of Amy’s day,…

Elementary School Throughout elementary school, I do not remember many conversations regarding race. Growing up in Vermont, my exposure to diverse races were limited. I remember making a friend in second grade who had much darker skin than I had. Although, I had never had a non-caucasian friend before, I have no recollection of thinking she looked “differently” than the other white children in my class. Later in my elementary school years, a new boy came to my class from India. I remember he…

I would be full of rage and distraught as a parent of a child that attended Jefferson Elementary School. A Non-Consequentialism action has been taken place, where that school did not display equal respect to their student body and did not act out of the golden rule. The substitute did not treat all the students in that class fairly by letting them perform this slave auction. As a parent, you protect your child from unseen consequences like Mill suggests, and that is something the substitute…
