Prenatal Development The day I found out that I was pregnant was a day of unmatchable joy for both my husband and I. Our joy was continued throughout the pregnancy until the doctor had offered us possible test to see if the baby had any problems. I didn’t want to know until the baby was born, but my husband insisted. The doctor conducted a maternal blood screening, as well as a noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (Santrock 2014, pg. 52). The tests came back positive for Down syndrome. At that point…

I have always been a great admirer of the German education system. I am more familiar with the school system in my home country (Togo) than the one in America. Togo is a French colony and they follow the same education system as France. Kindergarten or pre-school registers pupils from age 2 to age 6, and prepare them for entry into primary school. Every pupil must pass through this stage regardless of your age. Primary or elementary school take students aged 6 to 11. It’s a six years long of…
Introduction There is a privately-owned kindergarten situated in an affluent part of London. Previously, the kindergarten was a church before its conversion to a school. Today, workers and owners of the institution have made it lively by decorating it with beautiful lights and papier-mache animals, which are attractive to children. Additionally, the kindergarten has a low ceiling and its rooms are spacious, which makes it very comfortable for children. Moreover, the kindergarten has a beautiful…
Reflection For my field placement this semester I have been placed in School Lane Charter school located in Bensalem, PA. This charter school takes great measures in making sure their students get the best quality education. School Lane is an inclusive school, which means that students with or without disabilities are able to learn together, in the most least restrictive environment. I am placed in a first grade classroom this semester in Ms. Cameron’s room. The student who I chose to observe is…
Thinking back on my education, I’m so blessed to have the background I do. Aside from preschool and kindergarten, homeschooling has been the basis for my learning experience. Beginning in first grade and continuing all the way through eighth grade, I would consider the schooling I had to fall under the Middle Class teaching style with an occasional affluent aspect here and there. I then began my high school years in a much more Affluent Professional and Executive Elite based schooling though a…
children, to have a goal directed energy and keep working towards meeting the goals you have set. Working with the preschoolers we push them to problem solve and build self-esteem. Being a preschooler, it is the teacher’s job to prepare them for kindergarten and to work with them in the academics area. We work with the children to stay “on task” and to perform well in the educational…
Chapter Six Just a week or two before kindergarten started we (my fellow kindergartners and I) had to go through kindergarten screening, just to see what we could do, like counting, shapes, colors and simple things like that. That went fairly well according to my parents, as I do not remember everything about it. One of the good things was that almost my entire class went to preschool together so we already knew who was who and we already had friends. Another fun thing that happened that year…
When people think about Daycare, they think of a center that is rented out and all they do is watch your kid. Not Nadine Jaisler, she is one of the best daycare providers I know. I 'm not just saying that because she 's my mom, I 'm saying this because she is a genuine person. Even before you think about opening up a daycare center anywhere, whether it’s in your house or it’s a rented out place, you must have a state license and must certified in CPR/AED and first aid. I mean, who would…
Reason for choosing the Article The reason why I chose this article is because I was interested in how Brazil runs its school system. I enjoy learning about different countries especially when they are so vibrant. I don’t plan on staying in Texas for ever so if I move to another country like Brazil I will already be aware of how the school systems are ran. No just Brazil but a variety of different counties are important to learn about because you never know where your students originate from.…
