468 Words2 Pages

As I was walking through classrooms today it became apparent, again, how well our teachers and aides provide such a wonderful education. Mrs. Vandebossche had students looking through microscopes examining pond water to pick out paramecium and other simple life forms. They were excited to find new specimens swimming around and interacting with each other. Mrs. Lyons was describing novels and their story lines to her students getting them excited about reading. Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Pfister, Mr. Wilcox and Mrs. Coon were discussing the upcoming Veteran’s Day ceremony to teach kids and honor our vets. Mrs. Cushman was leading a small group of first graders in a reading lesson as she does every day. The fourth and fifth graders were getting ready to go on a field trip to see educational but exciting things only an hour away. Mrs. Swisher and Mrs. Tucker were working with kids who came in their pajamas because they had earned a reward for meeting their reading goal, twice. …show more content…

We are very blessed in our little town to have the quality of staff that we do. Last month I wrote about the importance of kids participating in activities. This month it’s about recognizing again where the ‘rubber meets the road’ and how kids are being prepared for the next step in their education. Reading and Math mean everything to being successful for that next step. We look at test scores constantly in our synergy groups to see if kids need some extra help in something. If that extra help is needed it might be in a small group or with another teacher or just using a program on a computer. We have many options to help them

    Khristy Hernandez 1AB Mrs.Carroll Place: Seabourn Elementary School, 1st graders Time: 4 hours and 14 minutes The point for this observation was to ask my mentor ‘ What has been the biggest challenge for her in relation to providing accommodations?’ And ‘ How she overcame that challenge?’ Her biggest challenge in relation to providing accommodations is the fact that you need to customize each kid's needs, like homeschooling, free lunch, and getting teachers to take out kids out of class for 15 minutes just to help them get better at reading or anything else.

  • The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: Commemorating Difficult Past

    Nevertheless, the purpose of the memorial was controversial itself because there were different views on what the memorial would mean. In the article, “The Vietnam Veterans Memorial: Commemorating a Difficult Past”, Wagner and Schwartz state three issues that arise when a memorial will be constructed. “(1) the social problems of fixing painful parts of the past (a military defeat, a generation of unredeemed veterans) in the public consciousness, (2) the political problem of commemorating an event for which there is no national consensus, and (3) the cultural problem of working through and against traditional expectations about the war memorial genre” (Wagner and Schwartz). As a group, Americans had to cooperate with one another to determine

  • Honoring Veterans On Memorial Day

    146 Words  | 1 Pages

    According to president obama, all countries should come together to honor our fellow veterans on Memorial Day. I strongly agree with this claim, regardless of what had happened 50 years ago between these countries; it is best to forgive and move on because each and every country knew what they were signing up for and the consequences that they would have to face. However, these countries are always at war, so coming together once a year to show our gratitude to the veterans that fought for their individual country is the best way to honor them. Thus , soldiers did what they thought was protecting their own country and risked their lives to protect their people, so each country can afford to sacrifice one day on their behalf. Memorial day is

    “... O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Nearly every American can recite the final lines of our National Anthem. However, few take the time to truly contemplate the meaning of these words. When I hear these phrases, I think of the principles on which our country was founded: the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. But perhaps more important than these rights are the defenders of them: our veterans.

I know that the United State annually celebrate the Veterans Day every November to honor and praise veterans of all service branches for the sacrifices each have made for their country. This year, Rear Admiral John Kirby is the guest of honor and speaker, so I do a little bit more research about him. Rear Admiral John Kirby was grown up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He graduated from the University of South Florida in 1985 in Tampa, Florida, and he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in history.

    CRITIQUE OF ARTICLE: I thought this to be an excellent article that provided a clear understanding of the paraeducator’s role in the classroom and how to make the educational team a success. There were several key suggestions that I know as a regular educator would be and have been excellent tools for my understanding of new strategies and teaching techniques. I can see where these would be extremely beneficial for the paraeducator as well. I love the way the authors say to include the paraeducators in setting the tone for the classroom by creating the shared philosophy together.
