Thomas Jefferson High School prides itself on individuality and diversity; this is why I can say with confidence that what sets Saranga apart from her peers in English class is her unique ability to remain attentive, cooperative, creative, and positive in all situations. Whether working independently, or with a group, Saranga takes the lead and ensures task or project completion with the highest amount of quality possible. Having a strong work ethic is vital for success and Saranga’s is…

One of the quiet areas has an informal furniture arrangement such a comfy beanbag. Researchers say that beanbags can provide a sense of feeling at home. Although everyone gets a turn it provides a privilege and encourages them to keep up good behavior so that they can participate. The bean bag is located in the library area. As mentioned before the children have a wide selection of leveled books to choose from. Also included in the furniture is a rug for whole group instruction and morning…

Among the values that the best teachers should have are to be excited and to love working with and for children, to have goals such as to make a difference in the children’s lives, to help them to achieve their potential and goals, to have the ability to guide, to be compassionate, encouraging and carrying. The documentary “First Year “displays the first year of professional life of five teachers and their approaches while dealing with children disruptive to others. But in reality they are only…

When I walk into Ms. Keller’s classroom, I feel like a giant. Everything is smaller from, the chairs to tables, and even the smartboard is lower. I forgot how small kindergartners really are. There are four tables in the middle of the room, and one next to the wall. The room is filled with color and posters about the ABC’s, counting, and pay attention during class. Ms. Keller has her own library in the back corner and on the back wall is a tent for reading in. On the side wall there are…

Such as I sit here in class and write this letter to you, I find for myself thinking nearly the reading processes we’ve learned. The Instructor taught us two dissimilar types of reading procedures. In the first reading procedure, he told us to distinct the reading into units. On the left boundary of these segments, he told us to write a small account of the section. On the correct margin, he had us magnet pictures that represents what occurred in that section. Later doing this, unjust looking at…

lost in waiting and transition. As a result of a shorter wait time allowed the students to be active or participate in class longer. During this period I got to observe how the teacher really utilized her space in the gym for an introduction to the lesson as well as the activities that followed. This particular teacher used this opportunity to review student’s prior learning and knowledge while incorporating ELA standards. The teacher used a quick “K-W-L” chart. The chart was broken down into…

Initially, she would cross her hands (right hand on the left hand), facing her palms towards the floor and would touch the floor with her palms. Then she would cross her hands again (left hand on the right hand), facing her palms downwards and would touch the floor with her palms. Then she would bring her hands to touch the middle of her chest from her fingertips. Then she would take her hands over her head, making two semi-circles from both sides and would touch each of her palms in front of…

throughout the year such as dance parties and classes where anyone can learn to salsa and bachata. I attended the Salsa Ball sponsored by the Latin Dance Club on Friday March 24 in the Molly Shi Boren ballroom. The Salsa Ball started at 9:00 with a free lesson on salsa dancing. The instructor taught us two types of basic steps, and a few turns for both the guy and girl. I did notice that there were several members of the club walking around and helping with the steps when asked. The…

instructors” (December 1, 2015); and that pre-AP “academic coursework is for “stupid” people” (November 11, 2015). (See Exhibit XX) Mrs. Fibich made similar statements during her meetings with Anita Killea on February 24, 2015 stating that SLHS is not doing its job because special education isn’t fixing him. (See Exhibit XX) Michael’s ARD committee developed educational programs to address Michael’s unique needs in all areas of suspected disability. His educational professionals received…

essential questions that makes the students think about the key concepts they learned for the day. By doing this, I will be able to reach back into their schema one last time before they leave for home and hopefully that will keep their thoughts of the lesson alive. After my essential questions, I will have the students retrieve their backpacks from their cubbies according to good behavior. The students will then place their materials into their backpacks and then line up at the door for either…
