Once the freshman were aware of how many hours a day an average student spends on their phone and how that compares to their daily lives, they seemed to be in shock and a little embarrassed at that number…

she teach me how to read and write, she also taught me how to communicate properly. From an early age, I remember my mom reading bedtime stories to me every night before she tucked me in. My favorite books to read as a child were Dr. Seuss’ “Cat in the Hat” books. Random surprises of books from my parents always put a big smile on my face. I felt like I was on top of the world. Typical young girls around the age of seven and eight want Barbie dolls and play houses as toys.…

The Library Fire Joe and John had been friends since elementary, and were thrilled to learn they had been accepted into the same college. Secretly, Joe wondered how many Ivy League schools John had turned down to stay with his long-time friend. John was a prodigy, a genius. He always had straight A’s, and was the teacher’s pet in every class. John had dyed his hair two years ago in a bright crimson hue, and his eyes were green. A lot of Christmas jokes had been made, but John didn’t really care…

Today was quite an eventful day in my field experience classroom. I got to witness teacher collaboration on lesson planning, and a way to foster growth mindset. I learned some more awesome qualities today. However, I know you don’t want me to types tons of pages for one day otherwise I would.

They have their own set of values and traditions, just like any other culture, as do the Egyptians. Egyptian culture is very different than Romani culture, yet they are comparable. Their religion, geography, traditions, and some ideologies are extremely different, but some parallels can be drawn from their music and dance. Even…

The Electrifying Scorpio Races The folklore surrounding the mysterious water horse myth has always captured my fascination. Maggie Stiefvater 's The Scorpio Races takes this exceedingly ancient folktale and beguiles audience 's with her own unique retelling.
