I observed the Jr. High math teacher Mr. Rix. This is Mr. Rix’s first year at St. Lucy but he been teaching for about 15 years. I observed an 8th grade block class period. How is the room organized?

Family Influence: My family consists of my mother, my father, and my two sisters. My entire family is from Cali, Colombia.

Amy 's autobiography The first memory I have of elementary is in the first grade. I had to take that grade twice because I struggled with grasping academic concepts due to starting as a younger first grader with a late July birthday. Many years after that class my mom told me that one of my teachers said, “I would never make it into college because I was too much of a social butterfly.” The next memory I remembered is in second grade. I fractured my ankle playing tag. None of my teachers…

have achieved in the past four years. However, to properly appreciate all of our efforts, I feel it appropriate to reflect on some of the more interesting happenings of that same time interval.
