My fieldwork focused on early childhood education, specifically kindergarten and second grade. Being able to observe those two grade levels helped me to solidify my desire to be a teacher. At the end of my observations, I was able to determine where I felt most comfortable; where I found my niche. I came to the conclusion that I preferred to focus my attention to kindergarten rather than any other grade level in early childhood education. Even though they were two different grade levels, the…

every home someone can see driving by in people’s windows. Christians loved the idea and soon royal families started the tradition. The nutcracker, gingerbread houses, and the advent calendar all originate from Germany. Each item has a story to tell.

The Advent Calendar was originally made beginning the 19th century. It was not until…

Shrek is an older movie, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, which is about an Ogre who has to rescue a princess to get his swamp back.

As educators, we understand the value of reading aloud. It provides students with opportunities to increase their own fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. However, for some students it’s a terrifying event. Flash back to my third grade reading group. I was sitting next to my teacher. She had called on me to read aloud to the group. I began reading, but just I started several students (not in our group) were causing problems in the class. I continued to read and finished my passage.…

They have long expected me to fit into the mold of a cookie-cutter Asian daughter, and finger painting was as though their perfect gingerbread (wo)man had sprouted another head. Or, rather, another finger. They cite how the past 13 winners of the Scripps National Spelling Bee have been of Indian origin, and how ⅚ of the US math olympiad team is Asian as justification for inflicting “Asian…

stories or watch Christmas movies. Christmas day begins with the opening of stockings and presents set out by the Christmas tree. Then the day is filled with whatever it is that families like to do! Some families go sledding, watch movies, decorating gingerbread houses or donate their time at the soup kitchen. Then the day ends with Christmas dinner spent with family.

There is a couple things I could probably tell you about myself like how i’m a major fan of Walking Dead and Law and order or that I have an unhealthy obsession of doughnuts,sushi, and Mexican food. I could go on and on for days about my dog. But the things I could tell you about myself would probably be a paragraph so instead I would like to talk about my family because they are a huge part of who I am today. I am the oldest of eight grandchildren ranging from 21 to 1 years old but if we were…
