Elementary school

Elementary School (5-6) When I entered the 5th grade I saw no reason to see why this year would be any different from all other years, aside from the fact that I would be closer to Junior High and have to accomplish more challenging work. The year progressed uneventfully and I found myself being decently content with what I had. However, it seemed that I was missing something; I was doing fine in all my classes but I did not really have any motivation. In the last month of school, the Band…

Before Harriet Taylor became the Principal she is today, she entered Bay District Schools as a third grader at none other than Springfield Elementary School, saying “It’s kind of cool that I got to start my career in the district here and now I get to end it here.” At Springfield, Harriet found her love for school. She describes her family as “abusive and very poor.” For her, the school became a break from her tumultuous home life, a place where she saw adults who lived their lives in a way…

Three Main Ideas: 1. One main presented in the article is that of a hidden curriculum. This can be seen in school rules, norms, layouts, and so on. While Digiovanni recognizes that many are unaware of the hidden curriculum, even being aware does not ensure one will not fall into its traps. 2. The second main idea about the use of implementing feminist pedagogy at the elementary level. Digiovanni notes that efforts have been made to combat the drop of self-esteem in girls universally face…

As a child in elementary school my favorite time of the day was recess and lunchtime, like any other child in my fourth grade class. I remember learning how to tell time just so I could tell when I was about to be called for bus riders. At lunch my friends would mix their food together and dare each other to eat it, getting all of us at the table in trouble at lunch by Mrs. Cothrin, my fourth grade teacher. My favorite challenge on the playground would be the monkey bars. I liked the monkey bars…

I arrived at Easton School District’s Forks Elementary School at around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a few minutes before the children were let in for class, to observe a 4th grade classroom. The instructor for the class, Mrs. Powell met with me in the main office to walk me down to her classroom. The first thing I saw when walking into the classroom was all of the different learning tools around the room, Mrs. Powell's use of both chalkboards for different objectives was just one, along with open…

This book did not really hit home for me until I went to Cesar Chaves Elementary School. I saw first hand how evident these ideas of “playing school” and holding students back from expressing their cultural identity. This belittles the student in the classroom, telling them that their culture is not as important as “white culture” creating a bigger divide between students and the administration team of schools. To help bridge that gap, students should have a safe place to practice their first…

Elementary school I did my play group and elementary school in India. I personally don’t remember anything, but my mom told me everything about my childhood. I was a smart and notorious kid, i had a good memory, my mom gave me tuitions at home. My mom was sort of strict in matter of studies. I used to talk a lot when I was in play group I would distract other kids. My teachers did not pay lot of attention to me because no matter what I would get good grades some how. It was really funny…

In elementary school, I was royalty. Queen of double dutch. There were others that challenged me to duels for my title, but only I prevailed. I didn’t come about this title easily. It took an immense amount of days to even be able to jump in. You see, everyday at recess all the girls would leap for the bucket of jump ropes. We all loved to sing our nursery rhymes and see who could jump the longest and I was nowhere near the best. Of course jumping rope alone got boring so we started to use the…

Teaching is not just a job but, instead a calling or a ministry chosen by God. I believe God called me to become an elementary school teacher or a special education teacher. According to 2 Timothy chapter one verse fourteen “You have been trusted to look after something precious; guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” This means those who are gifted to teach have been given the responsibility to guide the children with the help of the Holy Spirit. In the bible, little…
