brought me to school. When I got to school, I finished up my homework in the cafeteria and talked to my friends. However, when I got into my classroom to begin the day, things quickly escalated. I saw my teacher, Mrs. Williams, writing numbers on the whiteboard- my classmates and I looked at each other confused. What are those numbers for? What is she doing? My thoughts after seeing the numbers on the board were that my teacher was writing numbers that we were going to use later that day. As I…

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.

At the beginning of this semester, there were many goals that I need to accomplish for this semester. My goals consisted of making a 3.7 GPA, working on my writing skills, get involved around campus, manage my money, and become better at planning. When writing down these goals, I also wrote extra details on how to achieve those goals. My first goal was to make at least a 3.7 GPA. I felt that if I studied enough I could pull off this GPA. For one of my details of getting a 3.7 GPA, was that I…

Does being in a single-gendered classroom increase girls’ math achievement? In these two research studies I am going to see if that statement appears to be true. In the studies I will include students from both a single-gendered classroom and a co-ed classroom. Since I grew up going to a co-ed school, I am very interested in seeing the results. I hope that these two studies will benefit parent’s decisions on whether or not they will send their girls to a single-gendered school. In my…
