Second grade

role model, having patience and kindness. Also to have stability for the kids, they need someone who is a stable person in their life. Students have impacted my life in so many different ways. For example with you, to know that I taught you in second grade and you want to become a teacher, that impacts my life greatly. I had a small part of your education, but I feel so gratified. When kids come back to me and they remember something that we did together, it impacts me a lot. I always wanted to…

Montessori is mainly in the private sector, with its own broad educational goals. I have watch children learn many things, that many would say is beyond them. For example, the life cycle of stars in third grade, cursive in first grade and biological classification in second grade. In a non-grading environment, the students explore and learn an amazing amount of curriculum, because they were excited and their classrooms are packed with resources that were accessible to everyone. My goal, in…

When I was in the first grade my father insisted on reviewing my homework with me every night. Now, in the first grade there wasn’t much to do, but he expected me to do well. I can remember rewriting my assignments repeatedly. My father not only demanded that my work be completed, but that it was written in the most legible handwriting he thought I was capable of. To some this may seem harsh, I was only in the first grade for god’s sake, but it was purposeful. It was expressing to me that my…

For this field expert interview, I interviewed one of the first grade teachers, Mrs. Heckman, at the school where I work. I decided to conduct my interview on Mrs. Heckman for this particular assignment because last year I worked in her classroom during an undergrad course and I really liked her classroom management style. I believe that she is fulfills the expert aspect for this paper because like with most classes, she has a very diverse classroom when it comes to behaviors, yet it is…

the tests. An example of this is a letter written by a 1st grade teacher in New York, her students have to deal with the consequences of a test that they do not even have to take. Standardized testing puts stresses on students and needs to change, shown by a first grade teacher proving that even her students are worried about standardized testing. Standardized testing holds power over the students and teachers…

to keep writing about 3-4 times. Triven is in 3rd grade and he exhibited very little enthusiasm when reading his piece back to me. He mumbled and didn’t seem very confident with what was written. He did add words to make it sound like complete sentences, for example on the 4th line he said, “you can get” and on the 5th line said, “you can go to weird places.” I thanked him for working hard on his writing and said I learned…

I observed a 2nd grade classroom with 19 students. I choose to observe 2nd grade because I am opening to teaching in 2nd grade. I am interning in a kindergarten classroom, so I thought it would be interesting to see how a 2nd grade classroom was managed. I have not experienced 2nd grade before. 1. The students knew that the quiet signal was “class, class”. I didn’t know the quiet signal before observing, but all the students were taught the meaning of this quiet signal. 2. R.E.A.C.H poster:…

I had people tell me that they would be really happy if they had my grades. Others said that I shouldn 't go too hard on myself, including my dad and my grandparents. Somehow, I know that deep inside if my grades even go down a bit I know they would be disappointed and it would hurt witnessing that. When I was growing up, back when I was in the Philippines, my father would always tell me…

little girl named Ashlyn that was in the same grade as me. It was around October when they moved in and I was so happy to have another girl in the neighborhood. She ended up being in my same class as me and we sat next to each other the whole year. Since my teacher, Mrs. McConnell and her husband taught in the same school, they decided to pair up once a month and have “grade buddies”. Mr. McConnell taught fourth grade and Mrs. McConnell taught second, so my buddy was obviously older than me.…
