Rooms

My one remedial math class is the reason technology is not good in class rooms. I am the type of person that needs to see things for me to understand and comprehend it. This class is all online, with a bunch of different levels in it. The way they teach you isn’t a good way to learn anything. You sit there in a big class room with all different groups. You watch the videos they give you that are online and its up to you to figure out how to do the math. You can’t just watch a video and expect to…

The two-year-old room is a lot of fun. A lot of the things we are seeing this week is that same as last week, so there is something to be said about structure. Circle time is a consistent aspect of every day, or at least every day we are there. I have noticed that sometimes the calendar on the board is behind a day or two. So at least while we are observing, the teacher is doing those circle time activities. I am not totally sure what to make of that observation. I hope it is a consistent thing…

Disappeared “Suzanna Nichole Reese,” my mother shouted for the fifth time, “You’re going to be late for school again!” I slowly opened my eyes looking at the clock. Great, 7:47 a.m., I thought to myself. Hurriedly, I quickly brushed my long black hair and rimming my green eyes with black eyeliner. I grabbed my bag and headed down the stairs. “Zanna you are seventeen years old, I should not be your walking alarm clock. I have to get ready too.” Rolling my eyes at her remark and replied, “It…

The center I observed was at Grace Lutheran Preschool in Pottstown, I observed eight three and four year olds while they were in Grace Explorers for the day. The room was the size of an average classroom with one teacher teaching the students’. In the classroom I observed I did see the student’s names in many locations around the room, whether it was on the bulletin board or on the walls of the classroom. There were many labels in the classroom that talked about different procedures for the…

forty-six girls can get messy. It is a lot to keep up with and manage, and I can’t imagine how our house mom, Irene sleeps at night. Irene has a high-stress personality, and gets very frazzled when things are out of place. The other night our snack room and dining room was very messy. Instead of Irene having to beg girls to help her clean it up, I decided to take the initiative and clean the tables, sweep the floors, and take out the trash. Irene walked down as I was doing this and was in shock…

into the dressing room and started getting ready for ballet. I did my bun then quickly changed into my favorite black leotard and brand new tights right as Jessi Stafford, my best friend at ballet, arrived. She obviously had very similar thoughts to the ones I had ricocheting through my brain because she appeared to be just as excited as I was. “Doyouthinkshe’lltellustoday??” Jessi asked in one breath. “I don’t know, but I sure hope so!!” I exclaimed. We walked into the room together and…

Boisterous laughter seeps under the closed door. For a brief second, I consider turning around; instead, I inhale, hug my folder, tighten my grip on my water bottle, and count to three. It’s just a Speech Meet. As I wander into the classroom, a familiar scene paints itself before me. Zach sits atop a desk chatting with a pretty brunette girl. In the back, Emily slouches in her seat, picking at her black nail polish. As I pass by the front desks, Tom peers up and sends a polite smile my way.…

She was frightened by the routine sound of a buzz and bright white lights. The beaming lights forced her tired eyes open. Swinging her heavy legs over and placing her feet on the cold ground, she heard the voice of a guard. “Alright, get up! Wake up!” His voice sounded more piercing than usual. As she stood frozen next to her little bed, the guard confidently entered her cell approaching slowly, standing face to face in silence, he inched closer. She didn’t move. She studied his badly shaven…

Marley floor has nearly killed me, but it’s also shown me who my family is. It’s an awful material that requires a lot of time and work to be put down smooth and look nice. It’s some sort of vinyl that comes on PVC pipes, rolled up. Taping it down is an unbearably long and grueling process. One particularly hot Wednesday night, I was moving rolls of flooring into the auditorium from the lobby. Andy and I rolled up the flooring, the stubborn plasticky devil. Laszlo, one of the most badass people…

the simplest way to make friends. When I first moved to Salem State I sat in the lounge playing board games and inviting people to join, the people I meant at the table ended up being some of my closest friends. 2. Open Door Leave the door to your room open, oddly enough people will just wander in to see what 's up. Eventually, a future friend will come in 3. Open Mind In college, there are many different types of people and you should not judge anyone before you get to know them. My friend…
