disliking reading because he did not understand why it was important and he had a reading disability. Once Rodriguez finished his reading program he wanted to read as many books that he could. I can relate to Rodrigues because when I was in third grade I had troubles with reading, and because I had troubled reading I came to dislike reading. I later on in my life realized why reading is important. However I do not completely agree with the author. Rodriguez read certain books so that he would…

The Teacher From Hell Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! The dismissal bell just went off. As I was leaving the classroom, my teacher, Mr. Rase, the one I hate the most called me over and said “Jake Hazel, are you ready for the test” I quickly responded with a head nod and said, “Yeah I think I’ll be ready.” Mr. Rase then gobbled on by saying, “Fail is going to be what’s written all over your test!” So I quickly turned around and left the classroom, the only thing that I had going through my head was Mr…

One of my failures of this class was when I received a letter grade of “C+” on my first This I Believe essay. I have always seen letter grades lower than a “C” as a bad grade and to me receiving that grade was a failure. On my This I Believe essay I was not familiar with the type of style and format it was suppose to be written and assumed I knew it. I had the confidence that I knew what to write despite, considering what the expectations were for the essay. Therefore, I did not take the time to…

very significant because contemporary society can be very demanding, especially for students. To be successful, students need good grades in order to obtain a professional occupation, which results in an increase in pressure for students. Ever since childhood, parents, teachers and other adults always forced their children or students to study well and get good grades by any means possible. Most students ignore the fact that they need to understand the course; instead their focus is mainly on…

he was in America. He had sent me countless surprising gifts that cheered me up. At the same time I missed him even more and wished that he was there with us. A few years later, it was my first day of first grade and I wore a new dress with black shoes that my dad had sent me as my first grade gift all the way from America. I was shy at first, but later on I became social and made new friends. Each time my mom bought me snacks I would share them with my new friends. Now I was living with my…

It was back and forth for a while. My guidance counselor would call me down to his office to discuss the idea that my high school was going to cut the AP chemistry class for the following year and I had to pick a new science class for my junior year. When I asked why he told me that there were only eleven people signed up for the class and that they wanted fifteen to keep it open. To be fair it was understandable that most people would not want to sign up. Many found honors chemistry to be…

Academic Review Reading Fluency Daniel’s reading fluency at roughly a fourth grade level. He is currently being progress monitored at a fourth grade level as his AIMSweb fall benchmark score placed him below the 10th percentile. After reading seven fourth grade passages this year, Daniel has averaged 83 WRC (words read correctly) with 8 errors. This score would put him in the 25th percentile compared to fourth grade students attending Robinson School. He has read as many as 106 WRC and as few…

Later that day when I went to walk my dog. I started to wonder why I closed myself off and why I had no close friends. As I continued down the sidewalk with the wind blowing in my face and the trees rustling I was revisited by my past. In tenth grade I had a very close circle of friends but sadly most of them migrated to India or other countries and the few that did stay drifted away from me because they shifted classes and found new friends. It was…

In Mrs. Zatt’s third grade classroom, organization is vital to the students, and utilized in such a way that every student receives equal and quality learning opportunities. While there are no physically disabled students in the current third grade class, safety and accessibility is still factored into the arrangement of the classroom. Classroom 22 is located across the blacktop, not in one of the main buildings, but in a small portable; it is wheelchair accessible with a ramp leading into the…
