like a personal library, where one can learn anything of good use. As a child, I attended head start in Pomona, CA. While attending head start I was fascinated by the many field trips we took. Where we went to the L.A. Zoo, a local fire department, and the Museum of Science. It was not until this first week in this course that I realized that Head Start was created in the late 60’s.…
in the start of the school year. Laurie has begun acting up as the school year started. The first event in the story was that Laurie came home, and said that the teacher spanked a boy, referring to Charles, and put him in a corner, for “being fresh.” After that event, Laurie came home the next night, and said Charles hit the teacher, because…

wondered to myself “am I not smart enough?”. Here came my sophomore year and I had a class with a teacher named Ms Velasquez. my first day of school had finally came and I thought to myself “well here i go to barely passing another class”. I came in and automatically she gave us a math test, I was so disappointed. She wanted to see what we knew and how we can improve our math, it is not like many of my teachers already tried that.

This semester of observations was very beneficially to me, and made my decision to become a teacher clearer. I observed in a 3rd grade classroom at Meadow View Elementary School, and witnessed the true life of a teacher. I saw some things I agreed with, and some things I did not agree with. My class had 21 students, but Meadow View Elementary School does team teaching, so overall I observed about 40 students. During my 50 hours of observations, I was able to relate experiences in the classroom…
such for fear that they would not graduate—to help them overcome all odds and do exactly that is what makes teaching so fulfilling. When I resided in Turkey in the third grade, as a military child, my teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I knew immediately that I wanted to be a teacher just like him. Dr. Mossburg, who is now the Chief of Curriculum for DoDEA’s Education Division, made learning fun and exciting. He challenged us to be the best versions of ourselves, which in turn…
No plagiarism detected We were a high strung group of kids and more often than not my teacher would walk into class with us in tow crying our eyes out for what ever reason. Whether we were stressed out or just having a bad day we never failed to cry at least once a week in AP World History class. Because of this my wonderful teacher came up with a solution. He proposed that since we were a bunch of cry babies who could barely make it through a quiz before the water works started up that everyday…

Then as soon as it becomes chapter two it hits you right in the head and it gets challenging. As soon as you find that it is a challenging class get help as soon as you can if you let it pile up it will get even more confusing. One thing to keep in mind is algebra keeps piling up so when you learn one skill…
