Hand

I am not a boxer, but I got a boxer's fracture. A boxer's fracture is a fracture of one of the metacarpal bones in the hand. The fracture occurs when a person hits an immovable object with a closed fist. That is exactly what I did about one year ago. My ex boyfriend's collar bone was the point of contact. It was just a regular day at Calvary Baptist Academy. I thought it was atleast. As I was walking down the hallway, a friend stopped me to tell me that my ex boyfriend, Christian, had done…

Her hands tightly tied with a rusted chain. 2 black ribbons tied around her mouth and her eyes. She started screaming and yelling, only to sense a man sitting near her. Tears fell down her face as the evil man brushed at a strand of hair behind her ear. She…

On February 15th, 2017, I had the opportunity of being a guest at The Village Preschool located in Visalia, California. The classroom that I was assigned to had a total of twelve children that all ranged from the ages of four to five years old. Specifically, the classroom had five female students and seven male students. Upon arrival, the teacher introduced me to the children and explained to them that I was a guest from Fresno State University and would be observing them. To allow the children…

She felt warm knowing that he had a playful side and that she was able to touch it. She patted his arm, “This is new territory for both of us, we’ll figure it out though.” She clapped her hands, “Alright. Let’s go see about this speeder.” Two hours later they were sitting in an open air car in front of the SIS building and Jorgan was happily munching on some of the spiky fruit. Fynta decided it would be a good time to check her messages…

through me talking to her. Molly modeled object perception through beating her dog in the face with a stuffed toy, or by picking up her sippy cup and examining it before taking a drink. She displayed depth perception by judging the distance between her hand and my mouth; this allowed Molly to unexpectedly shove her pacifier into my mouth. At the conclusion of the assignment, I concluded that Molly Kate exemplified many, if not all of the gross and fine motor skills for a child her age. Each of…

My overall conclusion of Shivanni’s development is that she has stayed the same through out my clinicals. She still acts the same as she did the first observations given some exceptions. She still needs help with her morning routine and washing her hand. But she did increase her vocalization. She has become much more talkative and participates more at circle time. She has started to mimic the teachers and repeat basic words. So overall Shivanni’s development has stayed very similar to the…

Wrinkled Fingers Have you ever wondered why do humans get wrinkly fingers and toes when submerged in water by a period of time? According to the article “Wet Wrinkled Fingers Evolved for Better Grip” from The New York Times Magazine, wrinkled fingers are for a better grip for wet objects. Also, wrinkled fingers are considered an evolution. At first, it was thought that the wrinkles on the fingers were caused by osmosis (Changizi, 2011). However, recent studies have shown that without nerves, no…

The idea that parents are to blame for our faults and failings is one that does not sit well with many, but in Philip Larkin’s “This Be the Verse,” he goes on to declare just that. From victim to offender, people pass down their faults and wrongdoings from one generation to the next. Human nature will never change, and misery will forever thrive. Not one generation can be blamed for the faults they have, yet each generation passes down their faults and wrongdoings to the next.This means…

Our hands are one of our most important tools in regard to communication. We can use them to do a number of things such as gesture express emotion with words, or touch to emphasize our words, or even using emblems, which convey a message without the use of any words. We almost rely on our words, and some of us can not even talk without using our hands. Most of us use our hands every day without even noticing. A good example of this is in class, we raise our hands to indicate we have a question…

enough or do there best to work for a team win. All children need to be taught that if you work hard, set goals and do their best to accomplish things you will then be a winner. Winners in turn receive a trophy. Participation trophies on the other hand, do not necessarily bring out the best in sportsmanship or in teamwork. My third grade soccer team is a prime example. The girls were not focused on setting goals or winning games. They knew they would receive a trophy in the end and never put…
