Seventh grade

work. Soon I entered middle school and I continued to put in all of my efforts into school in hopes of receiving that praise. The most I would get was a nod, an “ok”, and a monotonous “good for you”. Eventually I gave up stressing over school in 7th grade. I believed there was no point if there was no one there to acknowledge my efforts. In addition, I had been overhearing my aunt talk about my immigration status. She would tell my mom that all of my hard work put into school wouldn’t matter…

definitely did not, but this is how it all started. On August 11th, 2011, I became best friends with a special person. His name was William. He had been there before for me whenever my silly young age relationship ended. Then, Unexpectedly in sixth grade I started riding his bus. We would talk and talk, and sometimes I didn’t even realize that we had stopped at the middle school to drop off the younger kids. Our conversations would go from our day before to our plans for the weekend.…

That summer between 8th grade and high school was one of the best summers I had ever experienced. It was as if all of the stress haunting me from my 8th grade year had just vanished at the shake of a hand. I spent each day going to the beach with friends, sailing, kayaking and taking time to plan my classes for the start of the school year. The fun just didn’t seem to stop. When it came time to start 10th grade, I was ready. I packed all of my school stuff the night…

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…

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…

Academic Review Reading Fluency Daniel’s reading fluency at roughly a fourth grade level. He is currently being progress monitored at a fourth grade level as his AIMSweb fall benchmark score placed him below the 10th percentile. After reading seven fourth grade passages this year, Daniel has averaged 83 WRC (words read correctly) with 8 errors. This score would put him in the 25th percentile compared to fourth grade students attending Robinson School. He has read as many as 106 WRC and as few…

Since I was ten-years-old, I’ve been homeschooled. Well, I was cyber schooled, which means I could longue around in pajamas all day long and take tests over the computer and call it a day. Pretty sweet, right? Students say their first year of college is an interesting experience. They’re away from their parents and siblings for the first time, they have a taste of freedom – its every teenagers dream. But when you’ve been homeschooled, it’s a whole different world, and you’ll be in for a rude…

travel ball. It was very tiring so when 7th grade came around and I had the chance to try out for volleyball I took it. Turned out I loved it and I wasn’t too bad at it. I have never been too good at trying new things, so when tryouts came around I was a nervous wreck. I had never played volleyball before and didn’t really know much about it, but I made the team and ended up becoming co captain. I learned the game, and all the rules. By the time my 8th grade year came around I had become one…

Scarred for life As a kid in elementary I didn’t have many friends, wouldn’t exactly talk to a lot of people, and I was kind of the “lonely” type. I was in 5th grade from what I remember. Even though I was so quiet I expressed my personality to others with my work in art, where I absolutely loved to be! I pretty much hated music because the teacher would always put the other class in front of the one I was in, I’d always kick the girl’s seat in front of me and we pretty much hated each other. To…

I would have tried to formulate a different perspective on how I viewed topics and would have became more serious about my educational future. When I was in middle school, I lacked determination and self-discipline. During my 9th grade year, I began to comprehend the idea of critical thinking and the traits I needed to be successful later on in life. Also , I realized that I needed to change and develop better habits, and that if I would have possessed my current mindset at a younger…
