“What I Did This Summer?” This summer I participated in many exciting events. I helped my dance studio with a dance camp and I spent a few days with my friends. The most exciting thing I did this summer was that my family and I went on a trip to Italy. I have gone to Italy only once before, and I was in fourth grade and it was my second time going to Europe. I love all the different cultures and the people I meet. In Italy everyone is kind and they try to speak English, even though they…

My father collects taxidermy crows. Eugene, Samuel, Franz, Albert, Marcel, Oscar, Vladimir, and little boy Poe were staged throughout our house. Poe, Vladimir, Oscar, and Marcel all had their sections in my father’s office. Poe sat above the doorway, and with my entrance into the room he reassured me that he would never stop watching. Once, when my father got me whisky drunk, I gave Poe a drop. I like to think we have a healthy relationship now. It was almost ruined the morning my father…

“Camryn,” said my mom “time to get up!” It was two days before Christmas break and I was really excited to get to school because I heard that our class was getting a new student. All I wanted was to make seventh grade a blast for her. I hop out of bed and get ready. Then I make my way downstairs to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I finish my first golden brown cinnamon roll that had just melted away in my mouth from the frosting and went in for seconds. I look at the time and it’s…

I see Brianna sitting at the same table as yesterday, and I go over to sit next to her. I ask her how her first day was and she explains to me how I made it a…

Emma pulled up to the small ranch that she had grown up in. Although she hadn't visited in years, it was exactly as she had remembered. The powder blue house with white shutters and a white door. The lush bushes circled the house. But now there was a for sale sign on the lawn, one that would be taken down tomorrow after the papers were signed. Emma got out of her car and and turned the key in the door for the first time in seven years. She creaked the door open. The house was dull and dark.…

While at my observation this morning, the teacher would step in and help children when they were fighting for a toy, or when one of the children turned off the computer while he was playing, and he did not know how to turn it back on to keep doing this painting game. 2. How does the teacher actively listen to children? There was a little boy during what looked like it was “free choice time” that was playing a painting game in the computer. He turned it off by accident, and he was upset. The…
