Bullying 101; an untold story It’s the end of our 6th grade year, we can’t wait to be in 7th grade and at the junior high! Meeting friends at our lockers in between class, getting out earlier, and even being treated like we are more mature, it was all going to be so great; or so I thought. It was around the middle of my 7th grade year that I found out how much bullying can break you down. As things started out it was just small talk, calling me a whore, or ugly but I could simply ignore this.…

learning. The one-on-one teaching would be nothing without the passionate teachers that Red Bridge Elementary has. The two teachers I helped out in my two and a half weeks there was Mrs. Strahm and Ms. Staltler both who had been teacher for ten plus years. Also, both had taught every single grade at Red Bridge and most of the time they taught third grade.

I moved many times during my childhood and into my teenage years. I sometimes liked when we moved because it was excited to see what we could discover in our new community, but it could also be heart breaking at other times. For me growing up and sometimes returning to a community or area the best way I could remember who was who was by finding out what school I knew them from. Many times I would receive an odd look when I would ask this type of question. For this reason I decided to write my…

My Grading Philosophy When it comes to grading I have to same that my grading philosophy will be the same no matter what grade I am teaching. First of all, I feel that a final grade should be made up of many components. Those components should be test, daily grades, quizzes, and class participation. Test should be weighted them most at 50%, daily grades and quizzes should weigh 40%, and class participation should be 10%. There should be at two to three test grades in a grading period and…

For me it the work came easy however, socializing was difficult, the kids were too childish. Academically I was ahead for my age, but my social skills were lacking.
