Fourth grade

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.

I looked up, unsuspecting. Then all of a sudden, I felt something collide with my face, a sharp pain rushing through my nose. Tears…

“Assessment of Physical Activity Levels of 3rd and 4th Grade Children Using Pedometers during Physical Education Class” 1. This research study was also found on the ERIC database. After reading and analyzing two studies that discussed strategies on encouraging physical activity and/or education in the schools, the importance of who is teaching the class, and then also the support the school gets for physical activity, I found this study interesting since it dealt with the actual physical…

When I was in the third grade my parents had split up and my mom decided to go live with her boyfriend in fountain, and my dad stayed in Denver and move in with my grandma.

Jimmy, in everyone’s eyes, cheated on…

Everyone has a reason why they chose the career they did. I like to think my reasoning is special, sad but special. Some people decided it because they just like the job, but I had a life changing experience that decided it for me.

There are always things that happen in our lives that impact us greatly…
