considered as a school that is above average. The school has 307 students from K-5th grade. In addition, the student-teacher ratio was 15:1(awesome). I also saw that the school was identified as primarily multi-racial. The extracurricular activities on this page mentioned band, chorus, drawing and painting • Curriculum (type, level of challenge) First grade: I was in a classroom for 3.5 hours. I was placed in first grade…
is because most of the subjects we learn at school are by our language. We only have one English class and we focus to learn how to read and write in English when we are in middle school. My English reading story begins when I was in 6th grade. It was in sixth grade when I had an interest in learning English. My English teacher was my favorite of all my teachers because he was the one who gave me a way to learn how to read. His name was Tasfay but all the students call him teacher Tesfaye. He…
Week One I will be completing my observation at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we are an inner city school that falls under title1 accommodations; meaning more that 90% of our students go for title 1 services. We also provide free lunch program for the entire school body. The majority of the students come from low income homes. The population of the school is of Hispanic descent, a big portion of the students being first generation Dominican. O.L.Q.M is an extremely warm environment for the…
Fifth grade was fun, because we rarely get homework so I could have a lot of freetime. Also, we had recess to take a break from class and play flag football. All of my friends were at my school so we can hang out with. But soon enough that all changed. In sixth grade my life has changed a lot. With more responsibilities ,and by making friends. Football practice, football games,walking dogs,and lots of homework is new to me. Football practice and games take a lot of time out of my week. But it…
Fourth Grade – It was a crisp day in early fall. The wind was blowing softly. The fourth graders were lined up outside, ready to go in after a fun day of recess, eager to get away from the chilliness. The fifth graders were already outside, engaging in a rowdy, yet fun game of kickball. The anticipation of going inside lead to no one noticing how a boy kicked the red ball too far out, and it went above the young grade of children. I stood in the line, unknowing of my fate of meeting that very…
lost half way through. You could hear papers ruffling in the background giving the thought that maybe the students became bored or they had the need to move. One student started moving his fingers up and down. The video also highlighted how fourth grade students get easily embarrassed when they forget information or answer a question wrong. I noticed…
about 4th grade and just escalated until the end of 6th grade. But by the summer going into my 7th grade year I realized that I am a better person than all the people who were low enough to bully and I began to transition to tuning them out and I eventually realized that it all finally came to…
Scarred for life As a kid in elementary I didn’t have many friends, wouldn’t exactly talk to a lot of people, and I was kind of the “lonely” type. I was in 5th grade from what I remember. Even though I was so quiet I expressed my personality to others with my work in art, where I absolutely loved to be! I pretty much hated music because the teacher would always put the other class in front of the one I was in, I’d always kick the girl’s seat in front of me and we pretty much hated each other. To…
to thrive in the 6th grade you must possess three personal qualities. First you have to be able to establish new relationships. Second you can not just rely on your relationships, you must have some amount of independence. You should also be organized in all of your classes. In 5th grade you may be the weird one with no friends, but in 6th grade friends are important and necessary to being able to thrive. Sometimes at school do you feel like no one has your back? In 6th grade that is…
It was in the fifth grade at Boones Ferry elementary school. It was spring time, and the leaves were growing and the sun was shining that day. It was one o’clock at lunch time and a bunch of girls sat at a lunch table closest to the doors to outside. The lunch room was small and could only fit the fourth and fifth graders. There were six of us at the table, Summer, Kaleah, Nicole, And maddie. Kaleah and I were not friends, and the only reason she sat with us was because we shared friends. The…
