actively engaged while also enjoying the methods of instruction the teacher puts forward. I hope to work with first or second graders; however, I don’t mind the idea of working with many different age groups. Call-and-response is a tactic that I think works especially well for younger…

There once lived a boy who was very intelligent. His parents were very wealthy, but he was whiny and spoiled like a baby. He never paid much attention to his teachers but he had the best of grades. If a student or teacher would speak to him, or attempt to speak to him, he would doodle on his notepad never looking up. Even though there were students in his class who struggled in the core subjects he never helped them. At least not willingly. However, in that same class, there was a girl that was…

Hi, I'm Stacy Stumbers. I was bullied, and this is my story. From the beginning to why I am now sitting here homeschooled. It all began with a simple spitball to the head when the teacher was not there. Soon I was getting covered in them on my way home from school. It was the worst. It started getting worse every weak. After all the spitballs it started getting about 10x worse. It started getting to everyday after school getting in fights, and in between each class period. I have been…

them the liturgical year and some technics to read, such as intonation, pauses, and breathing. I also taught them practical issues at the time of going up to the ambo to read. We agreed that before going downstairs, they were going to bow down their heads and then continue to the ambo to read. We also agreed that they did the same when finished the reading. However, one of the lectors,…

have you ever did something you weren’t supposed to, and lied about it so you won't get in trouble. Many of us had, I was in the second grade and it was a Halloween special day. I was in school with my friends, Oscar, Gabriel, and Andrew. My second teacher was teaching us math that day. After that class we had lunch, we were all waiting to go to the event, our heart thumping like drums. Once the event started we were having the times of our lives, we felt like life couldn’t get better. They…

Amanda Spight is the principal at Gladden Elementary in the Belton School District. Amanda worked as a special education teacher for three years, assistant principal at for two years, and this is her first year as a head principal. Ever since I met Amanda I have been captivated by her confidence and poise. Her kind heart and genuine nature is infectious. I admire her as a leader and friend. Amanda had never worked in her building before so she didn’t know how to tailor professional development…

Purposes of Education Suppose we did not have education and therefore, no need for teachers. Where would society be? My personal opinion is that we would not be able to accomplish the things that we have in society such as computers and electronics in general, the tall building we see in cities, and we never would have made it to the moon. The purpose of education as we know it is to learn as much as we can, then we pass it on to the willing persons of the next generation for them to…

that flutter through the halls. When the first bell is about to ring the three of us gather our things and and scurry to our class. I place my binder on the floor of my keyboarding access class. The laughing and socializing continues until the teacher enters the room. In the midst of her giving directions the light flicker away and we are left in silent darkness. “Youve been warned I tell you! You have been warned! The gods are angry and all is disturbed! Oh how they are. Oh how they are!”…
